Nicely laid out site with no pitches too far from toilet block. Usual high standard of facilities. Friendly wardens. We were visiting family nearby so hadn't brought our dog but were on the lookout for suitability in case we return. The person next to us thought it was perfectly acceptable to take their dog in front of our campervan to do its business ! It was only a short walk to the designated dog walking area which is compact but fully fenced. Visited wildlife park using discounted tickets - you can take dogs in here too. Only thing we found frustrating was that there are no easily accessible footpaths nearby so you would need to drive somewhere to have a walk/eat out. Burford is a few minutes drive away - there is nothing else near the site except a private housing estate. Having stayed at Cirencester also this year I would probably go back there in preference as you can walk into town and there are dog walks from the entrance (but it is a much bigger site)
Brilliant Burford
This is a lovely site. Although it is a fairly large site it has a feeling of space. It is basically level which makes pitching easier. The standard of cleanliness in the amenity block is very high. The Wardens are cheerful and helpful. You can buy daily newspapers from the Site Shop from 9am each day. There are lots of trees on the site but these are positioned so that they don't overhang the pitches. There is lots to do in the area and it is well worth using the discounted tickets available on site to visit the Cotswold Wildlife Park which is literally across the road from the Site. If you have young children we would recommend visiting Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park.

Beautiful site
This site is so beautiful and well kept. It is walking distance to The Cotswold Wildlife Park which is a perfect day out for adults as much as children. We always feel very relaxed at this site.
First time caravan holiday alone
I was delighted to stay at this superb site for eight nights. Having had two caravan holidays with friends I joined the club as I was given the opportunity to borrow a van and explore this lovely area again after many years of being unable to travel here.
The site staf were all helpful and when my friend and I struggled to set up the awning help was close at had
Once on my own I had no fear of future problems of which there were few and the reassurance of pleasant conversation as well as helpful hints was greatly appreciated
The facilities were always spotless it is a pity that some campers don't always help others to keep them that way!!
After many years away from th area it was helpful to find both literature and personal help in finding my way about again.
Certainly found everything top notch!! Having stayed at several club sites with friends I can say this is the best so far
Thank you all for making this a great experience.

A week with the grandchildren
We recently spent a few days on this great site with our grandchildren. No problems for them at all, they enjoyed the playground and meeting new friends.
Two problem areas. The first is service pitch 114. We have a twin axle caravan and this pitch is literally 25 yards from the service bollard for electricity. We wanted to use an annexe on the awning and we could not place the caravan so that the awning and annexe were on the hard standing. The mains cable would not reach the caravan. Luckily a warden came past and we asked if we could encroach on the grass at the back of the pitch. Reluctantly he agreed and so we put the annexe partly on the hardstanding, partly on the grass. After 4 days when we took the awning down I was pleased to see that we had caused no damage to the grass. My advice if you have large twin axle caravan, and you chose this pitch, just be aware.Please wardens move the electricity bollard closer to the water taps for this pitch.
The second problem area concerns dog owners, of which there were many on site. It seems that you now cannot be a caravaner unless you take at least two dogs with you. We have no problems with dogs, indeed we were dog owners in the past. Our problem is with the owners and their sheer laziness in the morning in opening up the awning and letting their dogs " do their business" on the grass area surrounding the pitch. We watched one couple opposite us. The two dogs proceeded to urinate in the entrance to their awning. The lady then took some water, rinsed down the wet patch and then proceeded to walk bare footed through the same area, followed by her children. On an early morning trip to the toilets I witnessed at least 4 caravan/ dog owners just letting their dogs out of the awning. These people did not even rinse down the affected area where their darling pooch had done its morning ablutions. Whilst they may not mind living in this environment, you might think that they would consider others who have to follow them. Youngsters crawling through grass that has been used as a dog toilet, is not a pleasant thought.
Apart from these two instances this is a great site and one that we have visited before and will return again.
Fantastic stay at a wonderful site
Stayed here for a couple of nights and had a fantastic time so peaceful and quiet even in the height of the summer season mid August.
Site staff are very friendly and have a great sense of humour especially when you try to give them the wrong membership cards oops.
Site is centrally located with in easy reach of supermarkets and tourist attractions.
Toilets and shower blocks are very clean and well presented and there are also two ladies and two gents facilities all contained within the same block meaning when ones shut for cleaning the other one is open and vice versa a great and well thought out idea.
Just outside the site is a wildlife park which looks great for the kids we will definitely be back for a visit but for longer this time.
Thank you for a great time will definitely be coming back.
Lovely site at Burford
We spent six days here with our daughter and grandsons, aged 5 and 2.
The children were delighted with their tourer explorer booklets and enjoyed
the challenges during the week.
Very good playground and games field, excellent clean facilities and beautifully kept site.
Fish and chip van and pizza oven visit the site.
Only downside is a car is needed to reach town/village.

Wonderful Site
We spent a very pleasant weekend at Burford Having booked there to go to the Countryfile Live Show. The reception greeting was warm & friendly with well explained details & advice on pitches available. The site is very well laid out with good size grass & hardstanding pitches. The shower block was always clean & well stocked. The Friday night Fish & Chip Horsebox was a bonus. We will definitely be back to Burford.
