River Retreat

Over the years we have visited the Island CL at Friars Court many times. It never changes and we never tire returning here. The CL offers the essential basics of a CL (fresh potable water, elsan and grey water disposal, rubbish disposal and decent access) yet punches above its status owing to its location being bang on the bank of the Thames. The required essentials are impeccably maintained. The layout is informal but all caravans tend to pitch next to the river's bank which is wonderful as it is so relaxing to watch the wildlife and boats pass by. The Thames footpath runs nearby as do other footpaths. We even managed to launch our inflatable canoe from the CL. Clanfield is charming, Faringdon and Bampton are the closest locations for shops. The owner is charming and visits you to ensure you know where the facilities are located but is never intrusive. No EHU or toilets / showers, and all the better for it! The CL is firmly one of our favourites and return visits will happen!
