Cotswolds Camping: Bell tents by the water (photo added by manager on 02/09/2022)

General

  • Quiet and simple site with Cotswolds views and holistic retreat centre
  • Within a couple of minutes' drive from a Whichford pub serving food
  • Half an hour to Stratford and an hour to the Cotswolds Water Park

It’s a proper Cotswolds cracker this one, quiet and friendly with bags of room.

Peace and quiet are the top priorities at Cotswolds Camping, just outside the Gloucestershire village of Whichford, in a substantial spot with a moat in one corner, valley views from another, and woods and the village church on the other side. The team here want visitors to enjoy the full benefits of a stay in deep country; for that reason, groups, dogs and kids under 12 aren't allowed on site, and radios, sound systems, one-man bands, male voice choirs and the like should keep it switched off. (There's wifi in the camping kitchen if you really can't stay switched off.)

The owners probably don’t mind you humming a tune as you build your campfire though, and there are spots for that all around this secluded site. Bundles of firewood are available for sale.

Sharing the site with you and the buzzards is Holycombe Holistic Retreat Centre and its treatments for body and soul from acupuncture and reiki to massage and hypnotherapy. (The wooded hills, mill streams and ancient stone villages of the Cotswolds are of course a therapy of their own…)

There’s a fine olde inn with fine grub in Whichford, a two-minute drive or a 15-minute walk away; for supermarkets and supplies, it’s 20 minutes by car to Banbury.

Basic but friendly. In the middle of nowhere.18/10/2023

  • Liked: 

    The host was very welcoming and showed me around on arrival, pointed out the best spot to park in order to see the sunset at its best. The shower was amazing and equal in pressure only to those of a Spanish hotel. Could have honestly stayed under it for hours

    Disliked: 

    As the site is all grass and track it was very muddy to drive in. Host had to help push the van into position as the wheels were spinning.
    This is a fab campsite if you truly are after peace and solitude. There is nothing witching miles except the charming local pub that doesn’t open weekdays until 5pm. Unfortunately the local church has a bell chime that goes off on every half hour and an extra chime on the hour, 24hrs a day! This does indeed break the silence and I felt like I hadn’t slept all night.
    The facilities are very basic but clean. Everything you need really. I left a day early but only because I couldn’t take anymore chimes.

    Everything!
    But, in particular, I like how quiet the site is. Indeed, it can be silent which is amazing given how many people stay!
    Beautiful dark skies with lots of stars.
    V. helpful site manager & a great location.
    Whichford Pottery is wonderful & the fish & chips at the Mermaid Fish Bar in Moreton in the Marsh are very good!
    Lots to see & do in the area so, will be coming back again & again.

A lovely small, peaceful campsite perfect for an escape away.27/08/2023

  • Liked: 

    Peaceful, calm site in beautiful countryside. Small ish site, with lovely surroundings which is perfect for a break away. There was a fridge, freezer, and some appliances which I didn't realise in advance which is very helpful. Nice choice of pitches in the meadow or in/near the orchard. The wooden table and chairs at my pitch were super handy.

    Disliked: 

    Facilities are basic but sufficient. More showers would be handy but may not be possible due to the simple nature of the location. What's there is of reasonable quality and the campsite wasn't too busy.

    The meadow water tap was blocked off a little by a wooden frame, even though probably still accessible.

    The people that manage the site, are thoughtful, friendly and considerate. It made my stay feel more relaxing. They went out of their way to share information and to offer help if needs be.
    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was brilliant.
    A tranquil idyllic place. The Church bells didn't cause issues for me personally. Ear plugs are available for light sleepers but bring your own if your the fussy type.

    I definitely will be back sometime in the future.

  • Liked: 

    This is a quirky campsite that won't appeal to everybody. It's informal, unfussy, somewhat 'Heath Robinson'; it has great views, and a lovely 'feel'; it's close to a good pub/restaurant. We were greeted by Swampy who lives on site. He's very friendly. There's a lot more hook-ups than expected.

    Disliked: 

    The composting toilets will not be for everyone, nor the somewhat 'Heath Robinson' facilities. There are flushing toilets for the squeamish.

Local attractions

Whether your passion is wildlife or windsurfing, castles or kayaks, there’s a high probability of finding it in the Cotswolds.

Many people visit simply to see the pretty villages featured so often on their TV screens (usually after a fictional murder) and there are fine examples of the kind at Shipston-on-Stour (10 minutes’ drive), Chipping Camden and Bourton-on-the-Water, both within half an hour. The latter are good places to hire bikes and explore the area on the numerous cycle trails too.

Walkers are well supplied here, with the mighty Macmillan Way (Lincolnshire to Dorset) passing right by and the Cotswolds Way National Trail beginning in Chipping Camden. You can see a lot by walking 10 to 15 minutes to Whichford Wood, a place teeming with wildflowers and wildlife and a small space you can still lose yourself in; alternatively, lose yourself in the largest collection of trees and plants at Batsford Arboretum (20 minutes).

For things watery, the Cotswolds Water Park is an hour away for kayaking and wetlands nature walks. To see nature of a wilder kind, Cotswolds Wildlife Park (40 minutes) has ferocious and endangered beasts from all over the world, and at Birdland (half an hour) 500 species of feathered things flit about a fab park.

History buffs, head 10 minutes to the ancient Rollright Stones, quarter of an hour to Broughton Castle, or half an hour to the home of the Bard, Stratford-upon-Avon.

Must see

  • Chastleton House (5.1 miles)
  • Hidcote Manor Garden (National Trust) (9.7 miles)
