Me and my daughter are on holiday soon and we fancy going to pastures new but unfortunately that means I don't know any campsites in the area. We are thinking of somewhere around the M4, M5, M40 triangle if that makes sense.
So I'd be really grateful if anyone can recommend a non commercialised camp site that's canal/lake side and with a real ale pub on site or within walking distance.
Also, as it's unchartered territory for us are there any 'can't be missed' touristy things in the area?
Gypsy, google 'oxfordshire camping reviews', possibly some tips and useful info there.

EDIT: I think the website link on that page may be broken, or the camp site doesn't exist anymore, sorry about that.
Wherever you end up I hope you have an excellent holiday.
try www.ukcampsite.co.uk you can search hundreds of campsites by area and membership of the website is free. There's also some great forums and free to enter competitons on the site.
How about Cropredy in Oxfordshire. When I stayed there I was camping at the Cropredy festival, but the village is lovely & because of the festival links there are all sorts of whacky people attracted to living in that area. It's really pretty round there with the cropredy lock on the canal.
