Practical Caravan Top 100 Parks Award 2008
Close to both the picturesque Cotswolds and historic Oxford, this site is popular with people who want to explore Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. A bus will take you into Oxford if you want to leave the car behind. The large pitches are well located around the central washroom, washing-up and laundry facilities. There’s plenty to do on site. It has a leisure centre with indoor pools and designated play areas for children up to five years old and from five to 12 years old. It also has a small putting green and a shop.

Practical Caravan Top 100 parks Award 2007
Situated within a mile of the River Thames and close to both the Cotswolds and the historic city of Oxford, Lincoln Farm Park is perfect for families seeking an active break and those who simply want a bit of peace and quiet. The site’s 90 pitches are spread across its nine acres of landscaped farmland, which allows for wide spacing so that couples can be kept separate from families.
An air of tranquility will greet you from the moment you
arrive at the park’s smart reception building, which is surrounded by established trees and mature shrubs, and doubles as a well-stocked mini market. What’s more, you are guaranteed a warm welcome from the friendly staff.
The immaculately presented washblocks are all heated, and piped music will accompany your ablutions. Self-contained shower cubicles with enclosed washbasins and spacious dressing areas give an almost domestic feel. The food preparation area is just as good, with microwaves provided for the use of caravanners.
The facilities on offer are second-to-none. The leisure centre has a choice of two indoor pools, with good lighting and pinewood panelling to create a relaxing atmosphere. There is also a Jacuzzi, a steam room and a sauna. Use of these facilities usually costs extra, but free swimming sessions take place twice a day. And outside of these times the facilities can be privately booked by the hour for an extra charge. The superb standard of these facilities easily justifies the modest fees – just be sure you make any bookings well in advance.

Lincoln Farm Park is situated within a mile of the River Thames and close to the Cotswolds. It is perfect for families and those seeking peace and quiet. The site’s 90 pitches are spread across 8.5 acres of landscaped park, which allows for wide spacing between outfits and privacy.
The washrooms are immaculate and spacious, and contain all the facilities you could ever need, including family bathrooms with facilities for babies to be strapped safely into seats while mums or dads perform their own ablutions. A nice touch is one pitch that has its own gate immediately adjacent to the disabled toilets; another is the array of colourful floral baskets that hang from all the buildings.
Families will love the two indoor, heated swimming pools with separate children’s pools. They are in a complex that also includes a fitness suite, saunas, steam room and spa pools – all of which can be hired by the hour.
Twenty-two ‘super pitches’ come with electric points, sewage and waste disposal, and TV hook-up. Another handy facility is a covered area for campers, which contains a microwave, fridge/freezer, hot water for washing up and two four-seat picnic tables.
The site is conveniently located for a trip to Oxford, with the university’s colleges, Bodleian Library, Ashmolean Museum, theatre and musical events, including the Summer Proms.
No matter what you’re looking for in a caravan park, there are armloads of things to do here, both on-site and off.

Situated within a mile of the River Thames, and close to the Cotswolds and the city of Oxford, Lincoln Farm Park has everything you could wish for, whether you want fun for the family or some peace and quiet.
With only 90 pitches (small by commercial site standards), it covers a considerable acreage, allowing for wide spacing between outfits. Pitches are arranged in groups of between two and seven, so that friends can meet and enjoy being together in their own private areas. As the site is so spacious, it is possible to get away from the noise of children, if you wish, in a quiet spot.
The facilities are immaculate, and even though the visit took place at the very end of the season, it could have been at the beginning, judging by the condition of everything from the toilets to the play areas and tent pitches. The immaculate, spacious toilets contained every facility one could wish for, including family bathrooms and provision for babies to be strapped safely into seats while mums, or dads, performed their ablutions. Colourful floral baskets hang from the ceiling.
A thoughtful touch (adjacent to the disabled toilet) is a pitch with its own gate. This can be booked as necessary. A striking feature is the site complex, with two well-heated indoor swimming pools and separate, but adjacent, children’s pools. The complex also includes a fitness suite, saunas, steam room and spa pools, all of which can be hired by the hour.
There are 22 super pitches with electric points, sewage and waste disposal, and TV hook-up, and there is even a covered area available for tent occupiers containing microwave, fridge/freezer, hot water for washing up and two four-seat picnic tables.
No matter what you might want from a campsite, it is difficult to imagine that you won’t be able to find it in Lincoln Farm Park.

With the dreaming spires of Oxford to the east and the tranquil quaintness of the Cotswolds to the north-west, Lincoln Farm Park couldn’t be better situated for a well-earned caravanning break. The facilities are ideal. All pitches are sheltered and set on Cotswold stone chippings, with separate areas of grass for picnics. Everyone is given plenty of room and you can even opt for a luxury hook-up, which offers mains drainage, piped water, 16A power and satellite TV. On some pitches, a wooden picnic table is also provided as an extra.
Shower and bath time is a treat, too. Hot water runs all the time and the toilets are spotless. You can also enjoy the luxury of a hot bath in one of the two family bathrooms by paying a £10 deposit. Other five-star facilities include two swimming pools, saunas and whirlpool baths, a steam room, sun bed and multi-gym. These can be reserved for private hire by the hour, or you can simply join the public sessions.
There is a fenced adventure play area with a rubber-chipping base for safety. There’s also a giant chess and draughts board, a nine-hole putting green and a games field which are all well used and free of charge. A token-operated laundry room with free iron hire, covered washing up sinks, microwaves, freezers and a battery charging room are also on-site. The whole camp is also well-lit.
The only thing Lincoln Farm doesn’t have is a bar or clubhouse. But then Oxford is down the road and the nearest pub is a two-minute walk away.

Lovely site with immaculate toilet/shower block. However, grass pitches and hardstanding become very waterlogged after spells of rain. At Spring Bank Holiday week 2008 the area where we were pitched along with four caravans and another tent was under two inches of water so that we had to wade out to the toilet block. At no time did the site staff ask how we were coping, yet they were using a submersible pump to clear other pitches ready for reuse.

Stumbled on this site, and was extremely impressed. The toilets and showers were always clean and the other facilities were good too. The separated ptiches gave good privacy and the hard standing was useful due to the poor weather. The dog walk area was good, but perhaps could be a bit bigger.
Overall we enjoyed the time at the site and would recommend it to anyone.

This is a fantastic site, we went as absolute novices and were shown with great patience how everything worked. The facilities are second to none, its beautifully laid out, its going to become a regular haunt for us, perfectly placed for a break away. But be warned! it will spoil you for lesser sites! although we dont have children the activities for children are amazing.

I would recommend anyone to go to this site. It is very good for familysThe swimming pool, sauna and steam room are very clean. The toilets/showers are cleaned regularly and are spotless. We went in August 2007 with a large tent, but the tent pitches where a little flooded/ muddy, so were put on gravel pitch this was ok apart from when the air bed went down it hurt a little. The weather was not fantastic but that just added to the fun we had. Staff on site very friendly and helpful. The children loved it too!

Our second visit was every bit as enjoyable as the first. Friendly helpful staff, spotless showers and toilets (at all times) peaceful and tranquil and the children loved the chickens. Immaculate pool and changing area. Altogether one of the best parks we have ever visited. Super pitches are a great idea !!!!

The previous individual contributors have more than amplified the many attributes of this site.
It truly is SPOTLESSLY clean with regard to all the on-site facilities, the staff are friendly and helpful and it's the sort of place you expect to find outside the UK rather than within its boundaries.
We found the extra cost of booking the pools for our own use to be excellent value for money and these in themselves were a model of cleanliness and efficiency.
It takes a great deal of hard work on the part of everyone involved in running this site to keep it the way that it is - and I commend it to anyone, for a long or short stay. We'll certainly be going again. Absolutely 10 out of 10!

This site was fantastic.
The facilities it had to offer were the best I have seen.
The swimming pool, sauna and steam room were excellent as well as the toilets and shower facilities.
They were of high standard. The music was a nice touch.
The pitches were good. I didn't stay on a service pitch but would be booking one when I visit again.
The only concern I had were the chickens woke you up very early but when you saw them around the park you couldn't help but laugh at them.
The site also had a chest freezer, microwave, laundry room and washing up facilities which were of high standard.
All in all I would give this site 10 out of 10.
There were pubs locally which were good and offered meals which were of good standard.
The staff were very helpful and very pleasant and worked very hard to make sure you enjoyed your stay.
I will be returning soon and looking forward to it.

A first class site for families or people wanting peace and quiet (If you want peace and quiet ask when booking and they will put you away from the play area). Facilities are first class the toilet and shower blocks are spacious, warm and clean and there is always plenty of hot water. Security is excellent and the park is spotless.

This is a truly excellent site and really family friendly and secure with 2 pubs and a village shop within walking distance and a well stocked site shop.
The indoor pools and steam room help make the stay on site a terrific one but a tip is to book the pool for private use when you book the site, they do get booked up quickly at busy times!
