Daisy's Farm spreads a handful of genuinely large pitches across an old ridge-and-furrow field on the edge of Bourton, near Shrivenham, the medieval plough lines still rolling gently under the grass. Campfires are welcome, the toilet block is simple and clean, and warm showers cover the essentials.
The atmosphere is the draw: quiet, unhurried and neighbourly, with summer yoga and singing workshops for campers who want them and absolutely no obligation for those who do not. The Vale's big attractions, the White Horse, the Ridgeway and Faringdon's folly, are all within fifteen minutes.
Why children love it
- Campfires allowed, with proper space between pitches for games
- Ancient ridge-and-furrow humps that children turn into racetracks
- Optional summer workshops, from singing to stargazing
Days out nearby
- Shrivenham village shops and pubs (5 minutes)
- Uffington White Horse (15 minutes)
- Hinton Marsh Farm shop and café
Know before you go
- Pitches are generous, but the site is small: book ahead for weekends.
- Bring a fire pit or ask about hire when booking.
- Shrivenham has two mini supermarkets for forgotten supplies.
The honest bit
It is a smallholding, not a holiday park: facilities are basic-but-clean and entertainment is whatever the children invent. Some families find that the entire point.
