We meet the owner as we kayaked down the river without any reservation or even knowing we was calling. Well what can I say!!! Wow the lady could do enough for us, she pulled out all the stops for us and made us feel so welcomed. We are so very grateful to you and will definitely be back with a proper booking in the better weather. 😄👍

The lovely campsite owner Cathy welcomed us to our plot. There was plenty of space around us and we were right beside the river. It was a perfect break. We couldn't recommend the site any more.

Very special campsite next to the Thames. Only open on weekends and only during the summer. Campfires, wild swimming, canoeing, paddling and lots of walks. Next to Northmoor Lock.

Lovely setting and easy to get to. Basic facilities and excellent swim spots. If you're looking to get away from kids then not the place for you! Lovely weekend
