Are dogs allowed?
Yes — dogs are welcome at Spring Hill Farm. Dogs are welcome free of charge in the camping paddock but please let us know in advance if you’re bringing one. There are many lovely dog walks directly from the farm. You can find more details about local walks on our website:
https://www.springhillfarmoxfordshire.co.uk/news/category/explore-nearby-local-walks
In summer we sometimes also open a temporary enclosed dog walking area, which is deer-fenced and planted with trees and shrubs so dogs can explore safely off-lead. Please contact us for further information.
Can I book directly with Spring Hill Farm?
Yes — and we’d love it if you did. Booking directly helps us avoid third-party commissions and allows us to communicate with you more easily before your stay.
Can I bring a campervan?
Yes — we do allow campervans. We are primarily a tent camping site, so please note that we do not provide electric hook-ups or chemical waste disposal. If you are happy with that, campervans are very welcome!
Can I bring a rooftop tent?
Yes — rooftop tents are welcome in the camping field.
Can I have a campfire?
Yes, campfires are normally welcome at Spring Hill Farm, provided they are kept off the ground and well away from flammable materials.
Firewood is available to purchase on site, and fire pits are available to hire if you don't have your own or would rather save space in the car. As they are popular, we recommend reserving a fire pit before your stay, subject to availability.
During periods of exceptionally hot, dry weather or if a weather warning is in place, we may need to temporarily suspend the use of campfires, fire pits and barbecues to help protect our guests, the farm and the surrounding countryside. If this is ever necessary, we'll let guests know before or during their stay.
Fire safety equipment is located at the washing-up area and in the small hut in the centre of the camping field. Full fire safety information can be found in your welcome pack and is also displayed at the washing-up area and toilet facilities.
Thank you for helping us keep Spring Hill Farm safe.
Can I hire a fire pit?
Yes — we have fire pits available to hire. We recommend reserving one in advance to guarantee availability.
Please contact us and we'll send you the booking link.
Fire pits are available whenever campfires are permitted. During periods of exceptionally hot, dry weather or if fire safety restrictions are in place, we may temporarily suspend their use. Please see "Can I have a campfire?" for more information.
Can we camp together as a group?
Yes — respectful groups of friends and family are welcome to camp together. If you’re planning to bring five or more tents, please contact us before booking. As we are in open countryside, sound travels easily, so we simply ask guests to be considerate of others.
Can we make exclusive group bookings?
Yes – we can offer our camping paddock on an exclusive basis to enjoy on your won. We welcome respectful guests who will leave the field as they find it and keep noise to a minimum after 9.30pm.
Please contact us before booking. As we are in open countryside, sound travels easily, so we simply ask guests to be considerate of our neighbours, local residents and our shepherd hut guests.
Do the bell tents have proper beds?
Yes — generally our bell tents include a proper double bed as standard.
If you’d prefer separate beds or want extra, we can provide single camp beds or inflatable beds instead. Just let us know in advance.
Do you have a fridge or freezer for campers to use?
Camping at Spring Hill Farm is designed to be simple and relaxed. While we don't have a communal fridge, we do provide a freezer for camping guests to re-freeze ice blocks during their stay.
The freezer is located in the woodshed and is intended for ice blocks only. Please do not store food, drinks or other perishable items.
To help keep the freezer working well for everyone, we kindly ask that you:
- Label your ice blocks with your name.
- Collect your ice blocks promptly, as all items are left at your own risk.
- Keep the door closed as much as possible, especially during very hot weather. In temperatures above 30°C, freezers naturally have to work much harder, so minimising the time the door is open helps keep everything frozen.
We hope this helps keep your food and drinks cool during your stay.
How do I find Spring Hill Farm camp site?
How does pitching work?
We run a relaxed camping field in Oxfordshire, and pitches are not allocated.
You’re welcome to choose your own spot when you arrive on a first-come, first-served basis. The field is fairly spacious so there is usually plenty of choice.
Is firewood available?
Yes — we have a woodshed where guests can purchase firewood during their stay.
Wood is restocked regularly and can be purchased once you arrive on site.
Please note that wood is sold whenever campfires and fire pits are permitted. In exceptional weather conditions, temporary fire restrictions may apply. See "Can I have a campfire?" for more information.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you booked through an online travel agent (such as Pitchup or another platform), please refer to their cancellation policy.
If you booked directly with us, the payment used to secure your booking is a 15% non-refundable deposit, as outlined in our booking terms and conditions.
If you have booked as a group our cancellation policy does vary so please get in touch if you’re unsure.
What should I do if bad weather is forecast?
If there is a weather warning during your stay, please follow a few simple safety tips:
High winds
- Ensure tent pegs and guy ropes are secure
- Take down gazebos or awnings
- Use your car as a windbreak if possible
Heavy rain
- Ensure your tent is pitched correctly for drainage
- Vehicle access to the field may occasionally be restricted to protect the ground
Always check the latest forecast and bring waterproof clothing and suitable footwear.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Our standard check-in time in our camping field is 1pm and check-out is 11am.
