Wonderful site with great hardworking, friendly, helpful wardens. The peace and tranquility of this site is fantastic. Birdsong, dominates the sound, very little road noise and wonderfully landscaped and maintained site. Showers and toilets very clean and well presented. There is a toilet block and an annexe. We originally thought there was only 3 toilets for the whole site lol, but we had found the annexe. Right next to The Cotswolds Wildlife Park and you get discounted tickets from reception. The area around is so picturesque and stunningly beautiful. We cycled into Burford, Kenton and Shipston to the Rose &Crown pub where we had a delightful lunch. Fabulous site give it a go.
location disappointing
we stopped at Burford for the first time as a 1 nighter en route to East Anglia, it also served a purpose in checking out the suitability for a future long weekend. Easily located as in previous reviews, planes and animals didnt disturb our sleep. Shower block and facilites standard club amenities with blue shower curtains, compared to other facilites in the leisure industry they are all needing bringing into the 21st century. If you have a car at your disposal then this site is fine as a base for exploring the Cotswolds but if you wish to walk from the site, the town is just over 2 miles away on a busy road with no safe pavement or verge to walk on, especially when accompanied by dogs. We didnt check out the bus routes as we decided that if we were to stay near Burford again we would use Wysdom Touring Park which is easily accessed from the town on foot we have since learnt from personal recommendation. Finally the dog facilites, more dog welcoming than dog friendly, a small, short, narrow off lead area. There is a larger area for them but as its open plan they must be on lead. Shame they couldnt adapt this area for the kiddies play area and have the current kiddies area as a large off lead exercise area for the dogs. The way we holiday with our current situation/set up we wouldnt use this site again for anything more than a stopover. This site is fine for caravanners or motorhomers who are happy to take their vehicles out, but not great for walkers/cyclists
Disappointing-
Used the site as a stop over for 2 nights. It's convenient for the adjoining Wildlife Park (which is excellent), and, nothing else. Very disappointed with the site as other users seemed to be using the whole site as a big dog walk. No idea why dog owners need extending leads on site as obviously if a dog is on the grass it thinks it's ok to foul. We spoke to one dog owner who was clearing up dog mess outside our caravan whilst his dog on an extending lead was behind him fouling again 8 foot from our caravan door, he didn't seem to think this was a problem, I really don't understand some people's mentality.

Burford beauty!
Excellent site, well laid out with spotlessly clean toilet facilities and very welcoming, friendly staff. Some road noise as Wildlife Park is next door, but usually quiet during the evening and night. Also ideally situated for exploring Bibury, Blenheim Palace, and other attractions in Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.
We stay here when visiting family in Oxford. They come over with their caravan and we inevitably visit the Wildlife Park next door with the grandchildren. Great not having to take the car, and getting discounted tickets. Still a slightly surreal experience of hearing lions, monkeys and peacocks calling in the evening/night!
We can highly recommend Cogges Farm at Witney for a great day out for adults and children. It's a charitable site so not expensive to get into. There is a café, but take a picnic if a nice day as there are plenty of tables and space (15 acres!). Children get to pet rabbits and guinea pigs, can buy a pot of veg to feed the goats and sheep, get dressed in period costume in the house and, if lucky, get to bake biscuits in the kitchen. There is an adventure playpark on site and a very large public site just across the road. Parking is free and there are walks along the river Windrush.
A first class centre and site for exploring some fantastic cotswold and areas around Oxford
Such a great site, across the road is the Cotswold Wild life park and a few other sites to immerse you time here in.Most impressive is the lay out as it feels so good even when full..
Beautiful site
Beautiful site. Well kept, shower /toilet block immaculate. Friendly wardens & staff.
This site had a very friendly welcoming atmosphere & the children’s park was in a lovely area away from the pitches.
Burford was beautiful, very quaint, however, it was a very busy main road through the centre,a nightmare which spoils sitting outside the tea rooms or pub on a gorgeous sunny day.
However it didn’t spoil our visit & will definitely be visiting again.
Caravan site a must stay. Well done all involved

A well maintained site in a great location for exploring the Cotswolds
The site is in a convenient location for exploring the many attractions of the Cotswolds.
One of the local attractions well worth a visit is the Cotswold Wildlife Park which is literally just across the road from the site entrance. It was a welcome change to go out for the day and be able to pop back for lunch! Discounted tickets for the CWP are available in the campsite reception area.
The campsite itself is well maintained and the toilet block and other areas are kept very clean and rubbish free.
The campsite has a number of hard standing and grass pitches. We chose a grass pitch which we were slightly concerned about because of the extreme rainfall that occurred whilst we were there. Fortunately the pitch drained well and our small camper van did not get stuck.
We enjoyed our short visit to the Burford campsite and would be pleased to return at some point.
Great location
Friendly staff, fairly level site, good choice of hard standing or grass pitches although grass are a bit of a walk from the only facilities block which was kept clean and tidy and was in fairly good nick.
The site perimeter is well screened but would benefit from some hedges breaking it up a bit.
Quiet site in general with occasional passing planes from RAF Brize Norton adding a bit of interest.
We sometimes heard animals from the Cotswold wildlife park next door, discounted entry available.
Also handy for Blenheim Palace which is great for a visit especially with the club 30% discount.
Bourton on the water is also worth a visit.
Busy access on school holidays but well worth the visit to go to the Wildlife Park
Lots of families near play area. Some hard standing well away from the play area near the only shower block on site. So choose between quiet and near WCs or play area and more noise.
Well worth the visit to go to the Wildlife Park as you can purchase cash tickets at a discount on site.
Wardens are friendly and helpful but traffic may be an issue if there is a queue to the site or the park just on the other side of the road. Patience is required. Lovely area to visit and lots of local hostelries to visit.
Lovely well cared for site
Just spent a week here. It is a lovely quiet site and the toilet block is excellent, warm and clean. Wardens friendly and helpful. The fish and chip van on Friday was good and reasonably priced. There is nowhere to really walk to from the site although we did cycle on the back roads to Burford which was nice and quite quiet.
We paid for Wi Fi but found it very difficult to log out of one device and onto another. We had hard standing which was fine but I really struggled to get the rock pegs in the awning as it felt like concrete. However we would return, lots of lovely places nearby to visit.
