  • 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.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely field.
Good showers as long as you're not too big.

Disliked Soap dispenser in the gent's toilets ran out the first night.
Never changed and the room Wasn't cleaned for 3 days.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, thanks for staying with us, I'm sorry you found the toilets uncleaned, they are cleaned twice a day, & the cleaning record displayed on the cubical walls shows the time they were cleaned, am & pm. Mops & buckets are also placed in the cubicles for anyone to mop around after use if they feel inclined. We will check the times as we keep records to ensure they were cleaned, it may be you used the facilities at a time when it was after a busy period.

Thanks again for staying with us & leaving a review.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked A very convenient and well kept site on the Rugby Club grounds.
Pitches are quite tight, due to site layout but enough room.
Toilet and shower blocks are portakabins and are kept very clean.
Open aspect with lovely views of the Cotswold Hills.
Good value for money.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great overnight stay at Stow on the World, travelling with a 3 year old and 1 year old, small play park for them but field is enough for them to run and play - bar open until late for after their bed, stone throw from camping and allowed to take drinks back - perfect - few comments read before about taking levelling ramps, yes you do need too but expected given it’s in Cotswold

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.
