  • Country campsite in the peaceful grounds of a Warwickshire pub
  • By the river Avon in Barton; Bidford-on-Avon 10 minutes walk
  • Real ales and a traditional pub menu; direct access to quiet footpaths
Find your happy place at Camping at The Cottage of Content, a rural campsite in the grounds of a Warwickshire pub on the peaceful banks of the river Avon. Set in the small village of Barton, a mile to the south of the amenities of Bidford-on-Avon, this family-friendly spot is well placed for guests looking to explore the Cotswolds National Landscape and Stratford-upon-Avon. Set in quiet green grounds a short stroll from the water's edge, the pitches here have lots of handy facilities including a launderette, a washing-up area, a wifi service, chemical disposal points and modern showers and toilets. Staying in the grounds of a pub also brings an added bonus, of course – namely easy access to food and drinks. And this particular pub is well set up for such things, with a cosy bar serving real ales, a spacious beer garden and a dining area serving up traditional pub meals. Dogs are welcome to join you, as are kids – there’s a play area outside, along with a bouncy castle throughout the summer. Inside, a pool table provides space for a bit of gentle competition. This riverside location is a good one for fishing and riverside walks – to reach the larger village of Bidford-on-Avon, just take the footpath opposite the site for a 10-minute walk along the river. After crossing the old stone bridge you'll have access to more dining options, convenience stores and a small but well-stocked supermarket (a handy place for supplies if you’ve decided to do a barbecue back at base).

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great stopover for Midlands / NEC. Super little pub with good food and beer. Landlord couldn’t have been more helpful

Disliked Quite a narrow entrance beside pub to camping area so be a bit challenging for very big motorhomes. Was fine for my LWB Crafter though and medium sized Mags.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious pitches with water and electric hook up on each pitch!
The pub was lovely and staff super friendly, excited to go back in the warmer weather so we can enjoy live music outside!

Disliked Shower wasn't overly big and not the easiest when washing your kids, but we made do :)

Local attractions

Getting out to explore on foot is a great idea, whether you just take a stroll to one of the other pubs in the group, take a woodland walk in the Heart of England Forest (five minutes' drive) or find scenic trails in the Cotswolds National Landscape (about 20 minutes' drive). Bidford Grange Golf Course (five minutes) is also on hand for a bit of outdoor exercise. Planning to soak up a bit of the local heritage? Stratford-upon-Avon (15 minutes) is the big local draw for all its Shakespeare attractions, but you may also like to visit Ragley Hall, Park and Gardens (10 minutes) or explore the Arts and Crafts-inspired garden at National Trust - Hidcote (20 minutes). For other days out nearby, check out the vintage buses at The Transport Museum Wythall (25 minutes), wander among 60 acres of dog- and family-friendly gardens at Batsford Arboretum (25 minutes) or experience the sweet treats of Cadbury World (40 minutes).
