The murmur of water over stones reaches your tent before you've even unzipped the door — this is proper riverside camping, the kind where the current sets the rhythm of your stay.

Riverside Campsite welcomes both tents and campervans, making it a flexible spot for couples after a quiet escape or friends wanting a simple pitch by the water. The name tells you what matters here: access to the bank, the sound of the river, space to sit and watch the flow. Dog owners should ask ahead to check the policy, and if you're keen on an evening fire, have a word when you arrive — sometimes it's allowed, sometimes the conditions say otherwise.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so expect a back-to-basics setup rather than a resort-style site. This is one for campers who value location and natural soundtrack over hot showers and electric hook-ups. The vibe is low-key and unfussy — pack what you need, settle in near the water, and let the river do the entertaining.

Follows a charming 13-mile trail through Oxfordshire countryside, linking Banbury to Oxford via historic villages and canal towpaths. Mostly flat with gentle sections, making it ideal for families with older children, though the full distance isn't suitable for buggies due to stiles and uneven surfaces. Dogs welcome throughout.
