The hum of a hedge trimmer drifts across the pitch on a Saturday morning, mingling with the smell of bacon from the van next door and the gentle clatter of awnings being pegged out—this is proper Banbury caravan country, quiet lanes and working farmland rolling toward the Cherwell Valley.

Fir Tree suits tourers and campervan folk who like their sites straightforward and unfussy—electric hook-ups available, space to settle in for a few nights while you explore North Oxfordshire's market towns and canal paths. It's a dog-friendly setup if you ask ahead, so many pitches come with a lurcher or two snoozing in the shade. The surrounding area's known for its mix of rural calm and decent access to the M40 corridor, so you're never far from provisions or a proper pub lunch.

Onsite it's electric hook-ups and level hardstanding, with campfires worth checking on arrival if you've packed kindling. Expect a practical, no-frills vibe—the sort of place where folk nod hello over the hedge and everyone's gone to bed by ten. Ideal for a steady base, less so if you're after wilderness or walking straight onto moorland.
