We have made some new benches for use by the fire pits. Please don't be an eejit by moving them to another area. If you move one to another pit, please put it back. Ta muchly.

We sell logs and kindling in the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at office@thepigplace.co.uk or phone 0789 287 9447

if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Why are you called The Pig Place?

Because "The Slightly chaotic Adults Only rustic campsite with pigs, pints and perfect punters Nr Banbury" wouldn't fit on the sign.

Also, we have pigs. Real ones. They are the only ones who behave consistently.

Didn't have them in 2025 as our local abattoir closed and we had to suspend our rare breed breeding program.

We're delighted to say that we will have a few pigs arriving in Spring 2026.

Do you really mean adults-only? Like...really?

Yes. 18+ only for camping

No kids, no toddlers, no babes in arms, no teenagers.

No inflatable unicorns being dragged across the field at 6am.

Just peace, quiet and the occasional adult behaving like a child after three ciders.

Under 18's are tolerated at The Saucy Hound café, outside seating areas and shop until 6pm - after that they may turn into a pumpkin and be eaten by the pigs - or parents can take them home.

Can my kids camp "just this once"?

No.

Not even if they're quiet.

Not even if they're asleep.

Not even if they "look 18".

If they can legally buy me a pint at the bar then they are welcome :@)

Do we need to book?

Yes. We're popular.

Peeps like you love our rustic, adults-only camping with pigs, pints and personable punters.

Book early to avoid disappointment and having to sleep in your car in some layby.

That being said, we do sometimes have last minute availability. So for a spur of the moment last minute get away because the sun has come out , send us a WhatsApp or call 0789 287 9447.

Can we have a campfire/BBQ?

Yes - within our rules and our firepits.

We like fire.

We don't like accidental arson and as much as we love our local fire station crew we don't want to see them here in a professional capacity.

You are welcome to use the firepits next to the canal, however campfires in the camping fields are not permitted.

You are welcome to BBQ in the camping fields as long as your BBQ is well elevated and does not burn the grass for the next camper.

Are dogs allowed?

Absolutely. We pride ourselves on being a dog-friendly campsite near Banbury.

They're practically royalty in our eyes.

Dogs can go everywhere
Dogs get fuss
Dogs get treats
Dogs get praised for being "such a good boy/girl"
Your dog may receive more attention than you.
Meanwhile, you get... well, you get to carry the poo bags.

Dogs are very welcome, but MUST be on a lead at all times

- aside from in the 'off-lead' area.

We do not charge for dogs to stay, nor do we limit the number that you bring. However, your dog is your responsibility and if they decide to be a bother to other campers you may be asked to leave.

Do you have showers?

Nope.

Nor will we be getting them as we are not on the mains water supply and use a bore hole. The water is filtered, fabulous and tested as suitable for drinking but we cannot run out, so we do not have showers.

Naturally we have toilets - of the portable variety. And we ask peeps to consider their fellow camper and 'leave no trace'.

Can i book a tent with Electric Hook Up?

Nope.

A case of the few spoiling it for the many. After discovering tent campers using fan heaters to attempt to heat Oxfordshire we have had to remove this option.

We do offer phone/tablet charging in the shop for a small fee.

What's the café like?

Imagine a small livestock trailer that has been converted into a kitchen.

Now add bacon, banter and breakfasts big enough to frighten a nutritionist.

That's The Saucy Hound - for great food and chilled vibes.

What time does Trotters Bar close?

Assuming that it is a day busy enough to open - it all depends on you.

Late enough to have a good time (licensed until 11pm) but early enough that you won't regret your entire existence the next morning.

That being said, if you disappear early then so will we.

How loud is the music?

Loud enough to enjoy.

Not loud enough to summon the police.

Think, "rustic festival vibes," not "Glastonbury main stage".

Where exactly are you?

Adderbury, Banbury. Just by Nell Bridge Lock on The Oxford Canal.

If you've hit Oxford, you've gone too far.

If you've hit Birmingham, you've gone way too far.

If you've hit the pigs, you've gone too close :@)

WHAT THREE WORDS - CLEANS/PUZZLED/GREYHOUND

What is there to do nearby?

Walks. Pubs. More walks. More pubs.

Banbury. Bicester. Adderbury. The Oxford Canal.

Clarkson's Farm, The Farmer's Dog, Bicester Village Designer Outlet.

Cropredy Festival

Cycling, wildlife.

Live music, weekly quiz, outdoor cafe, and of course 'Trotters Bar'.
