  • Peaceful countryside site set amid 200 acres of paddocks and woodland
  • Five minutes' drive to Moreton-in-Marsh; 30 to Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Firepits, den-building and an eco-friendly leave-no-trace ethos
‘Leave no trace’ is the motto at Wolford Wood, and once you set eyes on this scenic park among 200 acres of lush paddocks and leafy greenery, you’re sure to have no problem wanting to do your bit to protect the local landscape… This Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to a rare English deciduous woodland and 2,500 different species of flowers, fungi and fauna, is a blissful spot just under a mile from the meeting point of Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. While the setting on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is excellent for explores, staying local and wandering the woodland is also a firm favourite of guests, whether they spend their time making dens with the kids, chatting with friends next to one of the firepits (logs are available at the park) or just getting lost on pretty paths. The site also hosts regular events and activities for kids and grownups (open to day visitors and guests, for an extra charge) so have a chat to see what's on while you're here. During ambles, bring a picnic along made up of bits and bobs from the deli in Moreton-in-Marsh; you can also stoke up the barbecue back on site (as long as it’s off the ground) if you’re craving grilled grub. Burn off the calories later at the gym and pool in the Fire Service College (a five-minute drive). Please note that there’s no parking next to pitches here, but a car park is available. Guests are also asked to take their rubbish home with them where possible (although you can leave sorted bags of rubbish on site for an extra charge) and no single-use plastic is to be brought into the woods. If you’re doing your bit for the environment by travelling on public transport, the site can organise pickups from Moreton-in-Marsh’s train station.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)

Liked: Peaceful setting which is great for exploring the Cotswolds, likeminded campers, on-site park run for runners!, simple but effective facilities, no cars on the field, huge areas of beautiful woodland and fields for the kids to be wild in, soaked in nature, big skies and stars at night, no dogs (apart from the hosts), safe feel to the site. It’s been well thought through as a site, and it was a fairly unique camping experience. Your ability to be separate from other campers is limited by only your ability to wheelbarrow your stuff as far as you can!

Disliked: Slightly abrupt/rude hosts at times made us feel a little uneasy, but I can see how this approach can help enforce the rules and therefore the enjoyment for all, various points with no hot water/toilet paper/firewood was annoying especially as the overall cost to stay at this site is quite high, but once informed the hosts dealt with the issues. Also, the additional £10 per night (!) for a fire bowl was steep. Pitches are undefined which is nice in someways, but it was tricky to find patches of flat ground for larger tents as a group, but that’s a balance with the “wild” nature of the site.

Local attractions

The tiny towns of Moreton-in-Marsh (five minutes’ drive) in the Evenlode valley and Stow-on-the-Wold (10 minutes) are well worth a wander during your visit to the Cotswolds. If you’re in the former settlement on a Tuesday, don’t miss the market; the latter spot, meanwhile, has a selection of antique shops open most of the week and a church known for its striking stained-glass windows. Also close by are the famed gardens of Sezincote (10 minutes), while the gorgeous grounds of Kiftsgate Court and Hidcote Manor are a touch further away (25 minutes). See more brill botanicals at the Batsford Arboretum, then learn all about birds of prey in the nearby Cotswold Falconry Centre (both 10 minutes). If you're after historical hotspots, set off for Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon (half an hour), or visit one of the best medieval buildings in England, the enormous Warwick Castle (35 minutes).
