my wife wants to go camping next week----stopping at cookham or hurley ---then--days--eynsham and rushey-----are these practical distances to travel in a day----any suggestions for other campsites or pubs welcome----but i do like to see/be near to my boat as its a big fat outboard powered open rowing boat and obviously not secure----------thanks lenten---ps hopefully we are going right up until we run out of water

It depends how long you've got. Allow 1hr for every lock.
Hurley is great for camping, but the campsite is on a different island to the moorings, you won't be able to see your boat.
 
thanks boatone and everybody---printed tables----hurley to days lock in one go is obviously impractical-----did a similar trip years ago weekdays in august---reading to abingdon----was surprised how little traffic there was on the water----often we were the only boat in the lock---was thinking of 20 mins per lock----but perhaps i am remembering through rose tinted spectacles
 
sorry wasn t clear----20 mins to lock through---my 15 hp engine will just about break the speed limit but will squander precious fuel---don t want to be wandering round strange places looking for petrol----thanks for camping info
