  • Gloucestershire family campsite with Cotswold Hills views
  • A 15-minute drive to Cotswold Farm Park; 30 minutes to Blenheim Palace
  • Five minutes’ drive to Stow-on-the-Wold; bus service nearby
Along with a spacious grass camping ground (as one might expect of sporting pitches), Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club has some seriously eye-catching views of the Cotswold Hills. This site is in a fab location just outside the historic village of Stow-on-the Wold in Gloucestershire, making it a smashing spot for family rambles, touring and gallivanting all over the Cotswolds. From the hilltop pitches you can walk for miles on local footpaths without going near a road (thus making this a cracking base for cyclists too), and if you’re keen to get on the golf course, you can book a round at Naunton Downs Golf Club (10 minutes). Eager to do some city sightseeing but prefer to leave the vehicle behind? No worries, a local bus service leaving from the local village of Oddington (a short walk away) can whisk you off to theatreland in Stratford-upon-Avon (40 minutes) or the dreaming spires of Oxford (55 minutes). Back on site, simple facilities include showers, toilets and a wifi connection (around the clubhouse) so you can keep in touch with the folk back home. Stow (five minutes’ drive) has cafés, bars and a couple of small and handy stores for basics. For more amenities, the best stop is Moreton-in-Marsh (15 minutes) for markets, pubs, supermarkets and indie shops. It’s also got a mainline rail station with services to London.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful, spacious setting with beautiful views, praised for its friendly staff, particularly manager Vicky. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean and well-maintained. While pitches can be sloping, levelling blocks are often available. The location is convenient for exploring the Cotswolds, though some mention a lack of local amenities within easy walking distance. The on-site rugby club offers a welcoming atmosphere and occasional bar access.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely spot, well organised. Toilet/Shower facilities were very clean. The staff at the rugby club were lovely and the rugby club itself was warm and welcoming. The view, once the mist cleared, in the morning, was a beauty.

From the manager: Hi Debbie,

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found everything so clean and well organised.

It’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere at the rugby club too. And those morning views really are something special, particularly when the mist lifts and the Cotswold countryside opens up!

It was a pleasure having you both stay with us, Debbie. Hopefully we’ll have the chance to welcome you back for another visit.

Kind regards,

Vicky

Alex H. 1 review

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely site - not many pitches (which we liked!). Nice and quiet, but lots of space, including a field for the dog to run around in, and a climbing frame for kids to play on.

It’s unusual for such a small, quiet site to have a bar open a few nights (courtesy of the rugby club’s clubhouse next door) - this was a welcome surprise!

Vicky, the campsite manager, made arrival super smooth with friendly, helpful comms.

Disliked Not an issue, but the pitches are on a slight slope, so worth having levelling ramps and/or blocks of wood. The campsite had a few, if you get stuck.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and found the campsite a good base for exploring the Cotswolds.

It’s great that you made use of the space for the dog and the children, and that you enjoyed being able to pop into the clubhouse bar during your stay too. It’s lovely to hear that the arrival information and communication helped make everything straightforward.

The ground is naturally undulating in places, so it’s always useful to have levelling blocks to hand. I’m glad you found the spare ones on site helpful.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We’d be delighted to have you all back for another Cotswold break!

With best wishes,

Vicky
Campsite Manager

Great place, would come again but only on hard standing

Dawn G. 1 review

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful view! Vicki was absolutely lovely and very helpful. Showers and toilets were very clean, also very well heated. The hard standing pitches looked level.

Disliked Showers could do with a little more room in them, and I have a personal objection to direct overhead shower!
The grass pitches are very sloping, even with double chocks
Waste water emptying could be improved

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Dawn,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views and found the facilities clean and warm.

Thank you also for your feedback about the grass pitches and the waste water emptying point. The ground is naturally undulating in places, and I appreciate that this can make finding a comfortable level a little tricky. It’s useful to know that you’d prefer to book a hardstanding pitch next time.

It was lovely to have you stay with us, and I’m glad you’d consider visiting again.

Kind regards,

Vicky

From the manager: Hi Donna,

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that I could help make things a little easier for you and your two little dogs!

Thank you also for your comment about the washing-up area. We do have one on site, and I include directions to it in the pre-arrival information. I will admit that it’s quite a comprehensive message with lots of useful information, so I can quite understand if that particular detail got lost along the way! 😊

It was a pleasure having you stay with us, Donna, and I hope you and the dogs enjoyed your time in the Cotswolds.

Local attractions

Sort the kids out first, with rare-breed animal encounters at Cotswold Farm Park, home of Adam Henson of ‘Countryfile’ fame (15 minutes’ drive), raptor flying displays at Cotswold Falconry Centre (20 minutes) and flamingos and penguins at Birdland Park and Gardens (15 minutes). Vintage cars are displayed at Cotswold Motoring Museum in pretty Bourton-on-the-Water (15 minutes), where you can also picnic by the Windrush river. Once the kids are happy, you could go stately pile bagging at National Trust-owned properties including Chastleton House (10 minutes), with tours of sumptuous Jacobean interiors, or the Arts and Crafts mansion at Hidcote (30 minutes), which is surrounded by lavender-filled gardens. And of course, monumental Blenheim Palace (30 minutes) is a day trip in itself, with Capability Brown-designed parkland to wander, fine apartments to explore and all manner of outdoor activities. There are loads of delightful, mellow-stone Cotswold villages to nose around, including Chipping Campden (20 minutes), Broadway and Burford (both 25 minutes). If you feel like you've earned a beer (as you surely have), Hook Norton Brewery (20 minutes) is open for guided tours and craft-beer tastings, while Diddly Squat Farm Shop is a quarter of an hour away.
