About The Duke Campsite
Described as 'a hidden gem', this fully serviced three acre campsite is dog friendly, with unspoilt countryside views and a location adjacent to a pub. This is the best of both worlds - a fully equipped campsite with a romantic, peaceful shepherd's hut on the doorstep of a charming historic country inn. The site is rural but has a central location with easy access to the M40 (4 miles), Banbury (4 miles) and Bicester village (5 miles). Choose from spacious pitches with excellent facilities to suit tourers and campers. The pitches are large with beautiful views over open fields and farmland. You can also enjoy a getaway for two in a cosy shepherd's hut, which comes with vintage furnishings and its own toilet. If bringing a motorhome over 2.6m, please contact the site in advance.
Open from 29 March to 5 November
The campsite has superb 24 hour indoor showers and toilets, grey and chemical waste, washing up area, free Wi-Fi across the campsite.
