Peaceful rural site with panoramic views of the Chiltern Hills
On the Ridgeway Trail, less than 30 minutes from Oxford and Reading
Dog-friendly site; campfires permitted, with wood for sale

Disconnect from the world and plug in to nature at Ridgeway View Campsite, a spacious, back to basics site under 30 minutes by car from both Oxford and Reading. Generous pitches here are surrounded by Oxfordshire wheatfields with the Chiltern Hills beyond. This quiet site takes its name from the ancient trackway it backs onto. Now one of the UK’s popular National Trails, the Ridgeway 87-mile route is known as ‘Britain’s oldest road’ – walk here to follow in the footsteps of 5,000 years' worth of travellers. Less than a mile away, visitors can link up with the wildlife-rich Thames Path too. Also within walking distance (just far enough to build up an appetite for lunch) are several great pubs – plot your routes to take in the hostelries in Crowmarsh Gifford or Hailey. Something a bit more active in mind (or need to get some stress out)? Book a session at Ridgeway View's own axe-throwing range, which is a 15-minute drive away from the site. For stocking up on essentials, taking tea and cake or pottering around the shops, pop to the historic market town of Wallingford (five minutes’ drive), where you should also seek out the blue plaque for famed novelist Agatha Christie (British TV watchers may also recognise the area as the setting for Midsomer Murders). Half an hour’s drive to the north brings you to Oxford, and the same distance south is Reading. Guests have access to just a few back to basics facilities, including portable toilets and cold-water showers. Barbecues and campfires are permitted if raised off the ground – firewood is available to buy, and cooking slabs can be hired. Considerate dog owners are welcome and there’s plenty of space nearby for the canines to stretch their legs. On the farm there’s a no-noise policy at night past 10.30pm, so that everyone can enjoy a bit of rural peace.

GEORGE I. May 2024

Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Location was beautiful, the porta-loos were mostly clean and people on the campsite respected the rules (one party were playing loud music but did stop around 10pm)

Disliked: Price. For what was on offer, (porta-loos and cold water showers) the £25 a night for a tent pitch did feel a bit steep. However, it appears that's the going rate for tent pitches nowadays.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed your stay George. Exactly as you say it is the going rate these days, but also £25 per pitch is the peak bank holiday rates, our pitches are £20 per pitch when not booking for a bank holiday. Worth noting that the pitch also does include up to 4 people.

Peaceful, quiet, rural. Back to basics in good way!

Liked: Beautiful setting, easy check in, peaceful, back to basics in a good way! Amazing bird of prey circling - buzzard or red kite? We weren’t sure. We stayed one night and went to a friend’s birthday in a neighbouring village. Didcot Taxis found us and dropped us off easily. Good phone signal. Highly recommend .

Local attractions

On a summer’s evening, there’s nothing quite like messing about on the river – hire a boat nearby at Wallingford Bridge or Benson Waterfront (both five minutes' drive). Sipping a glass of wine comes a close second, so Brightwell Vineyard (10 minutes) could be a good shout too. For wildlife enthusiasts, Cholsey Marsh Nature Reserve is 10 minutes away by car or a pleasant hour’s walk taking in the Thames Path along the river. And children (and quite possibly grownups) are bound to love a visit to Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary (15 minutes’ drive). To get the blood pumping, you could brave the local skydiving (five minutes) and watersports (15 minutes) centres.
