If you want to fish then the River Thames is outside of your unit.

If you want to walk then the countryside is all around you.

If you just want peace you are in a tranquil and spacious site.

If you want, or need, a pub then it is a very few minutes walk away.

If you want, or need, to shop then it is only a few minutes drive away.

If you are concerned regarding security you are behind a locked gate.

If you like a well kept site then this is where to go.

Minimal facilities and hope it is always kept that way (no electric hook ups), a perfect site for a quiet holiday....Read less.

We recently spent a 9 night break on the island CL which totally lived up to my expectations. We were extremely lucky to enjoy the exceptional warm weather in mid September and it was great to be able to to full advantage of this wonderful riverside location. Both Charles and Ian visited us during the course of our stay and both were extremely friendly and welcoming. Would would not hesitate to recommend this site and hope to visit again in the future!...Read less.

Lovely tranquil setting overlooking the river Thames . Friendly helpful owner came and said hello .We were the only motorhome there on a monday and Tuesday in October so we could park anywhere and great for our puppy to run on his log leash . Lots of wildlife . we sported herons and swans with their cygnets .

Friendly old pub next to the site .

The grass was quite long but that is a small niggle .

Relaxing few days in the last of the warm weather ....Read less.

We stayed on the island cl site on a rather blustery day in September. The pitches front the riverside and it would have been delightful to sit out on a warm summers evenibg and watch the world go by. No facilities aside from water refill and grey and black water emptying . Charles came by to greet us and explained a little about the area . We loved it and would most certainly return if down this way...Read less.

every year we go to Friars court and never tire of going back, It is always so quiet and peaceful we certainly intend to go back for many more years, We have no complaints on how the site is or how it is run, Electric hook up would make it a site hard to beat but that would also raise the price so stay as you are...Read less.

This was our first time staying on the island, we have stayed many times on the cricket bay field but thought we would give the island a try, it didn’t disappoint, beautiful location with well kept field and water and waste services nearby, we thought we might get noise from campsite across the river but that wasn’t the case. Looking forward to returning next year!...Read less.

A warm welcome from both the owner and the manager who both clearly care that there guests are happy.

It would be difficult to be anything other than happy on this wonderful site on the upper reaches of the Thames, ample space for all to have a Riverside pitch without encroaching on others.

Beautiful walks through rural Oxfordshire both up and down river to the picturesque locks.

The nearby pub with a Riverside garden provides a variety of food at reasonable prices so all in all a perfect place to relax....Read less.

There was only 1 thing that really upset us, on Saturday 2nd Sept I was crossing the bridge back to the road with my puppy on her lead when coming the other way was a lady who was camping there too with a black dog was off the lead a savagely attacked my puppy , my dog was screaming me and my friend had to drag the dog away and the woman just walked off never said a word or even looked back to apologise for it, my puppy is only 6 months old and since Saturday won't go near another dog at moment, surely if you know your dog is like that they should be on a tight lead,I know who the person was and see them a couple of times on Sunday morning and she walked passed us sat there not even a good morning funny that how every body else there even people on boats did, this was very upsetting for us and really put a dampener on us staying on island again if there is people like that there. Sorry to say that but thought you had to be told...Read less.

Charles is an excellent and attentive host. He came to introduce himself to us shortly after arrival and we also met him out on a walk. Charles is a passionate custodian of a very interestingly managed estate. I regret not finding out more about it before arrival.

In future I would select the Cricket Bat field on busy BH weekends due to the activity on the campsite accross the water managed by the pub.

The pitches are right on the water's edge and ideal for safe swimming and paddleboarding which is very rare....Read less.

Wow … our stay at friars court Cl was so easy to book deposit paid final payment paid all the needed information was in e mail completed to high attention to detail and all any one need to know is in there … easy to find beautiful area all surrounding areas we walked were just so beautiful and peaceful wildlife if quiet on your feet is glorious…. We we walked to bampton gentle 3 hour walk stopping as was hot fir refreshments in the local shop ….

The river is stunning lots gush ducks swans signets geese crows owls wood or lots more to name a few deer and cattle on route to walk river …… met two lovely lady’s if staff at the loch called rushy loch do an amazing job looking after swans and the land all round it not to mention helping the boaters through the loch ,...Read less.

Hard to find any faults and we always enjoy our trips. If we had to find anything that could enhance the site it would be waste bin facilities on the cricket bat field and possibly extra water points scattered about. Both nice to haves but will not stop us visiting again....Read less.

Stayed on the Cricket Bat Field. Such a lovely, peaceful spot. No sound of traffic on our pitch which was a real treat. Great walks from site too. Owner. Was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be returning here soon....Read less.

Great local campsite for us. Right by the river so great for fishing (tackle shop just up the road in Clanfield, together an excellent deli/cafe). Lots of shade on the Cricket Bat Field if it is really hot. Good to now see another chemical disposal point on this section of the site. Can be exposed if a strong wind is blowing from the east or south east so bring a windbreak. Generally peaceful but sometimes planes from RAF Brize Norton do fly round. Lots of wildlife including curlews which this year have nested on the wildlife field next door. Cuckoo usually in attendance in the spring. Thames path runs on the opposite side of the river with access from the bridge by the entrance to the site. Also excellent pub by the bridge. Faringdon has a variety of supermarkets, butchers, petrol station, etc....Read less.

Although this is a basic site with no electric,showers etc. It has waste disposal and water and bins.

The river Thames runs past the site, great for paddle boards, canoes etc.

The Swan pub is near the gateway to the site on the side of the river.

A place to relax to the sounds of boats going past and ducks and Swans.

Highly recommended....Read less.

Beautiful location on the River Thames with boats ducks and swans passing by .

Early in the year hear and see cuckoo's.

Riverside pub within walking distance.

Bins water.and chemical disposal provided...Read less.

We usually stay on the Island but it was full with a rally so we stated on the Island and wasn't disappointed, beautiful location and uuninterrupted sunshine, when it blessed us with its company ! Short walk to elsan and water points. The camping field opposite of the swan was quiet however as there was a recent tragedy there, possibly wouldn't of been so pleasant for us if it was busy but we did manage to get a pitch at the far end which stuited us. We will return, thanks again for letting us "pitch up" x...Read less.

We chose the site as it was very good value,in a beautiful spot and close to Great Barrington where we were taking our grandchildren to Gifford's circus.

It was extremely well ordered and organised,in that payment was in advance, we could get in and out securely and the water and black water area was clean and tidy.

The site also seems well drained considering it is on a river.

Our youngest Granddaughter particularly liked the blue canoe...Read less.

Peaceful relaxing spacious site. The owner gives a truly personal welcome visiting all customers on their first day on site. The location is excellent for walking, cycling, and also being on the banks of the river Thames you have the opportunity to do water sports like paddle boarding or canoeing. Also adjacent to the site is Ye Olde Swan Pub....Read less.

Unfortunately watched our neighbours throwing banana skins and orange peel into the river. It should be unnecessary but maybe you need to put a notice at the gate to remind people that this is not acceptable behaviour ?...Read less.

We always return to friars court campsite as it's our favourite and always will as the fates allow.its our favourite place.the welcome is second to none.we can pitch right next to the river with plenty of space.for paddle boards and inflatables.the weather never spoils the holiday as there's so many beautiful walks around .houses to visit and villages and towns to enjoy .we've been coming for about 20 yrs and hope it never changes .just perfect.thankyou to all involved in the running of the beautiful unspoilt campsite.see you again next year .many thanks for the beautiful scones a,homemade jam and cream .they were delicious....Read less.

Had a lovely 5 night stay on the cricket bay field pitched facing the river. Very peaceful and loads of space. Water tap and Elsan at entrance of field so need to fill up before you pitch or you will have to move. Bit of a distance to rubbish bins which are near the entrance close to the CAMC CL and was surprised there was no recycling in place, but I just used a black sack and deposited it on way out. Owner walked round to check everything is ok and there’s a pub with plenty of outdoor seating and pizza oven at entrance and overlooks the river. Would definitely return and lots of places nearby. We had a day at Blenheim Palace and Cirencester (we have a scooter). The weather could have been better but the site is perfect we loved it....Read less.

We arrived on a sunny Sunday afternoon and with only 4 other units in this vast, well maintained camping field we choose a lovely spot just 4 meters back from the river bank - altho we could have gone anywhere we wanted as the area is huge. The gound was level and mown and the only facilities are fresh water and waste disposal but that's all we needed.

We spent 4 nights here and just relaxed, watching the boats and paddle boarders glide by on the river - watched the wildlife and listened to the curlew, cuckoo, and numerous song birds and learnt some new species of demoiselles and dragon flies and even spotted a grass snake swimming down stream. It was just the perfect break for us and with daily visits from either Ian or Charles to check everything was ok, we couldn't have wished for better. We will certainly be back again and again....Read less.

Lovely sight. Noise from campsite across the way was initially loud but we were on island and parked up far end. It was fine and would not stop us coming back.

Was Nice that the warden also popped over to check everyone was all ok soon after we arrived.

Definitely will return...Read less.

This CL is well worth a visit.You have a choice of pitch Riverside or shaded under the trees. Access is perfect. We stayed onthe cricket field which is 300 yards down river so nice and quiet..

Wildlife is plentiful with an option to fish The

Lovely village of Clanfield is a mile away with coffee shop and good pub

All in all a 10 out of 10 site...Read less.

We stayed at the riverbank on he Cricket Bat Field. An absolutely idyllic site, perfect for launching our paddleboards and just getting away from it all. Very peaceful and picturesque. Pub only half mile walk away and straight onto the Thames path for walking/running. Will def be coming back....Read less.

Second visit to the Island site, and just as good as before. The owner is always welcoming. Lots of land to pitch on, so you are not crammed in beside other campers. Its a nice place for walks, or to just watch the river life and nature....Read less.

Our go to spot for a relaxing stop, pubs and cafe in walking distance 400yds - 5 miles. Riverside idyllic as are walks on Thames footpath. Note for local footpaths officer: Some styles away from the river going up to Clanfield are difficult and could do with replacing with kissing gates...Read less.

This has to be one of my favourite sites. Always love coming here. It is so peaceful, with stunning views and very chilled indeed. We came with a group of friends and enjoyed walks along the river to pubs and also the nearby Ye Olde Swan.

Lots of wildlife on the river to look at. Good emptying and water point on the Cricket Bat field.

The owners are extremely friendly and I think it’s fantastic value for what you get.

Can’t wait until our next visit. Thank you!...Read less.

We have stayed at friars court in the cricket bat field for a numbers of years now ,and what a fantastic site . The owners are all very nice and helpful and always make you feel welcome.looking forward to our next visit....Read less.

Perfect as you can pitch right on the banks of the Thames and its easy to pop a small boat in and out of the river. We had an amazing time, both on the river and watching others pass by while enjoying an evening drink. The CL is very well kept and Charles is lovely. There's no electricity so make sure you're ready for that - it means far more flexibility over where you pitch.

Excellent local walks too and it's great having a pub so close by.

It's really fab....Read less.

Lots of space, no need to be on top of other units! Can pitch right next to water.

However, access to water is tricky if you're not a boat - could do with a low jetty for paddleboards/kayaks, or even just a post to secure craft to whilst getting in and out....Read less.

Right from the online booking thru to leaving , everything was perfect . The emails and directions were so informative , and all was as described on arrival . Met on arrival by the Estate manager , very friendly and informative , we pitch up and spent 3 relaxing days , right next to the Thames , birds and nature all around, quiet even tho very close to pub and three road bridges , waste and water only on this site ….perfect...Read less.
