Chipping Norton C&CC Site, Chipping Norton Road, OX7 3PE, Tel
01608641993
To Find Site:-
From Chipping Norton take A361 towards Burford.
Watch out for A361 veering off to right and take left turn signed to
Chadlington, site also signed, and site is a couple of hundred metres on
the right.
This site is situated in open countryside about two miles south
of Chipping Norton. It is bordered by the A361 so there will be some
daytime noise but this reduces quite a lot by nightfall. The site is
open to non-members.
It looks
as if the site road infrastructure has had a
recent upgrade with newly tarmacked roads in the main part of the site
with
foot wide gravel borders, I assume to soak up excess rainfall? There are
105 pitches, set out in two areas, the main one in front of the
reception and a separate higher section along the top end of the site
and this is where most of the non-electric pitches are. In common to
most C&CC sites are a mix of hardstandings with electrics, grass with
electric and grass with no electrics. Most pitches are sloping although
some more than others so some levelling will be required. Electric
points are handy to the pitches and they use CEE 17 blue plugs and are
rated at 16 amps. Water points are situated near the entrance and at the
facility block as is grey water disposal. Please note this site does not
have a motorhome service point although if you have a waste water
carried this can be used at the normal grey water disposal points. The
toilet block is of the older variety and whilst perfectly clean and
serviceable is not as luxurious as some. The block also contains a
laundry, with drying lines behind the block, and dishwash area, it would
benefit from a refurbishment. For children there is a nice looking
adventure type playground. There is site wide WiFi and time can be
purchased online. Reception sells a few essentials as well as Calor Gas
there is also a book swap. Next door is a small information room.
The traditional Cotswold market town of Chipping Norton is a
couple of miles away by road, perhaps more difficult on foot because of
lack of footpaths, and is well worth a visit. For those not wanting to
use their own transport there is an hourly weekday bus service from
immediately outside the campsite entrance although it does not run much
into the evening. In the other direction the bus goes to Witney. All
parts of the Cotswold are within easy reach of this campsite. For
eating out opportunities there is a large choice
in Chipping Norton and there is also a nice Co-Op supermarket there to.
