An absolute gem!
Lovely adults only CL consisting of 5 fully serviced pitches (WiFi, electric, water & drainage). Laid out in a practical and unique cartwheel design - the electric is centrally located in the ‘hub’ and then spoking out are the 5 segments, which result in each pitch being enormous. The established hedges between pitches give the perfect amount of privacy, whilst allowing good visibility too.
Included in the price is 10 units of electricity per day. If you use over that amount then it’s billable. We used approx 50% of our week’s worth of 70 units for our late May 24 visit.
The owners Stephanie and Wayne are extremely pleasant, and during our 7 night stay they lit the fire pit on 3 evenings which is a great way to enjoy the sunset and chat to fellow campers. You can also buy logs for a private fire pit session if you desire.
The CAMC 5 pitches have access to an extremely clean bathroom facility (toilet, sink and shower), all included in the price.
All 5 pitches are grass, so Wayne often helps tow caravans onto the pitches with his tractor. We had no trouble arriving and departing in our motorhome even with fairly damp ground after considerable rain. There are two ‘overflow’ fully serviced gravel pitches available for temporary use if it’s not possible to get to the proper pitches due to wet weather.
The site also consists of 5-6 non CAMC pitches, for tents & smaller campervans (no caravans). These are located in a separate field, and have their own pair of bathroom facilities (toilet, basin & shower), plus washing up area. The CAMH pitches can use these facilities too.
The site owners keep a trio of lovely goats, a beautiful horse (who is living out his retiring years in comfort) and some peacocks. They previously had some alpacas but not any longer.
The site is located perfectly between the market town of Banbury and the thriving Stratford Upon Avon. Both are easily reached by road, or by bus from a nearby village (10 mins cycle).
The surrounding area is wonderful for cycling, consisting of lots of villages, country lanes, characterful old pubs, and minimal traffic.
Crofts Barn has now become a firm favourite after just one visit, so much so that we’ll be returning in 2025 😀.
