If you’re the type that likes to go camping with nothing but your toothbrush tied around your neck and a spare pair of undies in your back pocket, Wootton Park is the place for you. Everything from bedding to bathrobes is remembered for you in these cosy camping pods, so all you need are your personal bits and bobs for a no-drama camping trip in Shakespeare country. There’s even a belly-busting continental breakfast included in the 500 year old farmhouse on site: just stroll through the garden to the dining room to meet other podders over a morning cuppa.
Melanie and her team host a wealth of weddings at Wootton Park so are well used to helping guests of all ilk have a whale of a time, and you’ll spot these little touches in the snug camping pods as soon as you open the door: the four wool-insulated pods here are carpeted and come with a comfy double bed, mirror, towels, hairdryer and cuppa-making facilities as well as the bedding and bathrobes. A woodchip path leads to a shower, toilet and washbasin in the Monsoon Pod steps away, with the path fully lit at night so there’s no toppling over on nocturnal loo breaks. Always a plus when camping, we find…
Nearby attractions and activities
This corner of Warwickshire is Shakespeare land, so you won’t be surprised that there are all sorts of bardy browsings: Stratford-upon-Avon has Shakespeare’s birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s cottage to declaim sonnets in, and the Royal Shakespeare Company is based here (surprise) with regular performances throughout the year. You can also feel rosy-cheeked and Elizabethan at the farmers’ markets, fairs and festivals abounding in all seasons, flutter about the butterfly farm and Stratford Racecourse, or take a punt down the Avon on a sightseeing trip; ghost river trips are also available, although we can’t guarantee you’ll see Hamlet Senior.
Eight miles away from Stratford is the must-see Warwick Castle for jousting competitions, the Dragon Tower and trembling at the interactive gruesomeness of the Castle Dungeon. The ruins of Elizabeth I’s old stomping ground Kenilworth Castle are further along the Avon, as is the Ragley Hall Estate where you can spot sculptures in the Capability Brown parkland or get lost in the maze – do go back for the kids at some point though…
Other play-ful options from Wootton Park include walking the Cotswolds, England’s biggest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to take in steam railways, gardens, stately homes and cathedrals as well as villages like Chipping Campden and Broadway. Birmingham is just 20 miles away from Wootton Park and will keep podders of all sizes entertained for days: there’s shopping til you drop, canals to cruise along, 8000 acres of open space including Sutton Park and the Victorian Birmingham Botanical Gardens, gigs at the National Indoor Arena and 02 Academy, and thespian fare at the Rep and the Banner Theatre.
Closer to home is the town of Henley-on-Arden which is known for its historical buildings including half-timbered houses along High Street, the medieval market cross and the fifteenth century Guildhall.

Great site and LOVED the pod! Scott H. (Mature couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The location, the friendly and helpful owners, the peace and quiet, and the pod itself was awesome. Such a good idea and perfect for a short break without having to drag a car full of camping gear around with you. Great shower hut too! Disliked: The cold weather! But we can't complain as the pod was warm and cozy. |
