Holidays Traffic, traffic, traffic. Off peak gem of a site.

An ok site that’s opposite the Cotswolds Wild Life Park and during holidays traffic is unbelievably dreadful. Arriving bank holiday Friday took well over 1:30min to travel the last mile. Added to this, thereafter, leaving the site each day was usually ok, provided you don’t forget anything because getting back in could easily take over an hour as you join the queues at times. There’s no alternative with a car or motorhome other that to stay out all day if your going to the shops. The sites clean and tidy, wardens are great, facilities limited to one utility block. There are other CAMC sites nearby that have better overall facilities and without the traffic constraints this location imposes, unless, once your pitched up, you don’t leave site. We like to visit surrounding areas so sadly we won’t be returning during any holiday periods again, once bitten twice shy, we shall only ever return off peak.

Perfect Easter getaway.

Bit of a tailback on the entrance to site on Friday. Due to the Wild Life Park sharing same turn off at crossroads. Staff were great.The check in was fast and efficient. The pitch was on grass and a good size. What a lovely site. Facilities were spotless, and hot water any time of day. Showers were great. Very peaceful site, although full there were never any problems with rubbish bins being full or recycling. Had a very enjoyable four days break. We both loved the site. And would definitely come back in the future.

Very pleasant site

Only a short stay, however lovely well maintained site in heart of Cotswolds. While this was a rare trip away without kids, site would be good for families with large play area and being on doorstep of Cotswold Wildlife Park Chip van visited Friday and Pizza on Saturday so opportunities to avoid cooking if needed

Perfect little site

First stayed here twelve years ago and pleased to say it's as good as ever. Nice warm welcome from the wardens and excellent facilities block. Lovely flat site with good size pitches and plenty of trees for privacy. Needed to use the TV hook up as signal was weak although Wifi was excellent. Superbly located for all the glorious places in the Cotswolds and the wildlife park next door. Used the fish and chip van although nearly fell over backwards when he told me the price but it was tasty and good portions.

Great site!

We came last week for a 2 night stay, had a great time! The staff are very friendly and helpful with information if you need it. The site is great for children. We brought scooters and bikes, there is so much space for the children to ride around, perfect! Plenty of space around each pitch, quiet at night. Next to the Cotswolds Wildife Park, brilliant day out. Will definitely be coming back. 😊

1s time visit.

Our first trip out this year and we wanted some peace & quiet-we certainly got it! The site was not very busy, so was quiet, and the occasional lion roar was lovely to hear. A visit to the animal park was fabulous-where else can you go eye to eye with a giraffe?! Also, the food in the restaurant is reasonably priced and good quality, with decent sized portions. A trip to Oxford was rather more fraught, so if you have a motorhome-pay attention! Did our research into the park and ride system before leaving home, so thought we had it sussed. However, the satnav packed up, so had to rely on road signs. To cut a long and VERY frustrating story short, be aware that the park and ride site at Water Eaton, which is the first one you come to on the A40, has been renamed Oxford Parkway. Unfortunately, none of the road signs have been altered! (We had ignored these signs, as they had the railway symbol on, so thought it was a separate site). Also, when arriving at the park and ride, pull up outside the area marked for high sided vehicles, go to the small building where the buses arrive/depart and look for the attendant-if he is not about, go inside the building and press the buzzer by the office door. He will then come over and unlock the barrier so you can park. The same applies when you return, so you can leave-just make sure it's before 7pm as he goes home then and you will be shut in for the night! Apart from that, we had a lovely time, and now we have sussed the system, will return so we can go into Oxford and explore properly.

A Perfect stay

We stayed for two nights with our 4 and 8 year old. This site is great, facilities are very clean and warm, all staff are very friendly and helpful. This site is perfect for visiting the Cotswold wildlife park which is opposite, a 10 minute walk approx, ( beware after walking around the park all day little ones may be very tired, our walk back was not swift or moan free ! We shall take the car next time!) buy your tickets at the site reception and get a discount, Take cash though as they do not accept card payments for tickets or shop purchases. Burford is a short drive away, lots of lovely pubs and cafes. Showers were great, warm and good pressure, There is a baby/toddler washroom which you get a door key code for, We didn't need it however if the standards are like the general toilets and showers I think it would be a little gem if you have little ones. There's a great little playground/park for children along with a little field for letting off steam. All in all this is a fab site, We will be returning and would recommend to anyone, The staff and standards are fantastic. Do not hesitate to book !

Sadly This Site Is Going Downhill

Been visiting this site for years now and unfortunately we find it to be far below the standard it used to be. The hardstandings are overgrown with grass and weeds. During the last couple of weeks of the season all the grass pitches were closed but the site was 'full', surely more money could have been made for the Club had more pitches been made available. I observed one poor lady in the shower block struggling to shower her child and having to leave the shower door open to do so - she had been told the family room was closed for redecorating, we had been on site for days and there was no sign of redecorating going on, neither was there on subsequent days. The disabled room was not up to standard at all, with ceiling panels missing and the drain for the shower was dangerous in that there was little to no grout around the drain itself, leaving sharp edges on which disabled people could have cut themselves and the shower head was leaking and had been stuck together with some kind of clear tape, this is only a few minutes job to replace either the whole thing or just the shower head. In general the toilet blocks were cold with not always a clean look to them but a strong smell of bleach after the 'cleaning time'. We have visited other sites much further north later in the year and when the outdoor temperatures have been much lower but their toilet blocks were always warm. The whole site shows a general lack of maintenance from peeling paint on entrance and exit barriers to weedy hardstandings and overgrown grass. This site is situated in a wonderful location, there is some noise from the nearby Cotswold Wildlife Park and RAF Brize Norton but neither of these really spoil the site. However the lack of care now given to the site by the current and some previous wardens leaves a lot to be desired. Remarks have been left in the comments book - which on occasion have somehow 'disappeared' also comments left with the wardens but the only response we got was 'We are only here for this season so it isn't really up to us.' I think it is up to them, we all pay for these sites and in the past we have been given a certain standard, which is sadly now lacking at Burford. The only reason we return to it is because we have family very close to it.

Lovely site for a Cotswold visit

We stayed at Burford in our camper van (2 adults, 2 kids under 8) in early November, just before the site closed for the season. The kids had a great time gathering windfall apples from the enormous apple tree, and playing in the lovely wooden playground. The staff were welcoming, and facilities were clean and warm. We'd definitely stay here again if visiting the Cotswolds.
