What customers say
This small, well-maintained campsite is praised for its level, spacious hardstanding pitches, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful staff. Adjacent to a popular pub serving excellent food at reasonable prices, it's ideally located for exploring the Cotswolds and walking to the source of the Thames. Some guests noted limited, dated toilet and shower facilities, road noise, and occasional queues for the single combined unit, though many found this manageable, particularly if self-sufficient.

Basic site with pub/restaurant. Good menu, reasonable choice & prices.
Electric gravel touring pitch (large)
Liked Tidy & clean small site. Friendly efficient staff.
Pitches quiet and separate from pub car park.
Popular good pub and food. Bitter was well above average, I can only speculate they have the secret of keeping pumps & pipes clean, where so many others appear ignorant these days.
Close to spring source of the Thames.
No WiFi at pitches, but we had good 4G signal and satellite dish aligned easily.
Disliked We felt it a little pricey for a limited simple site, but it does include unmetered electric.
Only 1 combined toilet/shower a little distant from the pitches. Bathroom is somewhat outdated, but it was clean & heated.
