  • 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 is a well-located, peaceful campsite with friendly and helpful staff, particularly manager Vicky. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, though some reviews mention pitches can be sloping, requiring levelling blocks. It offers good value and is a great base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a wonderful camping experience here! The pitch was very clean, neat, and well maintained. The whole campsite is lovely and peaceful. We were especially impressed with the toilet facilities, which were exceptionally clean and well looked after.

The manager was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. She was always available whenever we needed anything, which made our stay even more comfortable.

Overall, a fantastic place to camp! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others. We would love to visit again!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Shuhaib,

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear that you and your family had a wonderful camping experience and found the site peaceful, clean and well maintained.

It’s especially lovely to hear that you found the facilities so good and felt well looked after during your stay. Thank you for taking the time to share such kind feedback and for recommending us.

We’d be delighted to welcome you and your family back for another camping trip!

Kind regards,

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Easy access for walking and good pubs stow or oddington.

Disliked The pitches aren’t level so that could be better and mowing early evening Saturday wasn’t great. Could be done in the week off peak.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Michelle,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and found the site a good base for walks and visits to the local pubs in Stow and Oddington.

The pitches are naturally a little undulating in places, so levelling blocks can certainly be useful. Regarding the mowing, it can be tricky to find a time when the campsite is empty, but we do need to keep the grounds maintained. I hope it wasn’t too disruptive while you were here.

It was lovely to have you stay with us, and I hope you’ll visit us again another time.

All the best,

Vicky
Campsite Manager

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very informative and welcoming pre arrival text. We knew where to go and how things worked.
Clean toilets and shower block. Manageress greeted us day of arrival and was easily contactable.

Disliked Well slight slope to pitch was a challenge to us novices - but we levelled ok. Next time (and there will be a next time as so convenient for Stow and a very well maintained campsite) we will request the very flat pitches.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Michelle,

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear that you found the pre-arrival information helpful and everything clean and well looked after.

I’m glad you managed to get yourselves levelled in the end! The ground is naturally undulating in places, but it’s great to hear you’d like to come back. Next time, do let me know when booking that you’d prefer a flatter pitch, and I’ll do my best to accommodate that where availability allows.

It was lovely to have you stay with us, and I look forward to welcoming you back!

Kind regards,

Vicky

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.
