  • Pick your own pitch at a 12-acre site on the banks of the River Avon
  • Warwick Castle and Royal Leamington Spa within 15 minutes' drive
  • Fishing on site (for an extra charge); farm shop/café a mile away
There are many reasons why one might fancy settling down by a river – perhaps for the fishing, the views, the wildlife… maybe even the chance to get in the water. Happily, all of the above are on the cards at Avon Wild Camping, a peaceful Warwickshire site on the banks of the River Avon 15 minutes' drive from Leamington Spa. There’s a mighty pretty stretch of the river running alongside one side of this site, making it a prime spot for kids to paddle and catch minnows in the shallows (under supervision, of course) or for grownups to pick up permits (available on site for an extra charge) to try their luck with the chub, pike, grayling, roach and brown trout that swim in the waters. It’s a popular part of the world with wildlife too, so settling down by the river with binoculars and/or a drink also comes highly recommended. All is very laidback around here: it’s a pick-your-own pitch place, with heaps of space to choose from around the 12 acres of meadow. Being a back-to-basics site, there are no electric hookups, but there is access to limited (but clean) toilet facilities, showers and running water. As this is an eco site, the toilets run on rainwater, guests are strongly encouraged to recycle and, without wifi, the kids are free to focus on playing by the river. Alfresco meals can be cooked up at the campfire area; there are firepits and kiln-dried timber available if you need them. Pick up supplies for such things at the farm shop a mile away; it’s also got a café for coffee, cakes, pizzas and other meals if you’d rather eat out. There are several good country pubs nearby too, or you could scoot into Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes’ drive) for more places to eat and drink.

What customers say

This is a popular, relaxed 'wild camping' site with a beautiful riverside location, ideal for families. Visitors praise the ample space, the river for swimming and paddling, and the option of campfires. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean and well-maintained, though some note they are basic. Manager replies indicate ongoing improvements. Issues raised include rubbish disposal (visitors must take it home), occasional noise, and the entrance gate's proximity to the road.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Tons of space! We had strong winds during the night but trees along the river protected our spot nicely. Kids loved finding the rope swings. Toilet sheds are big with plenty of breeze, perfect.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Plenty of room (early April), unlimited pitch size and largely flat site. Nice shallow river for kids to play in. Shower and toilets, and a washing up sink, available in sheds. Fire wood available to buy. Relaxed atmosphere, the basic rules aren't restrictive like in some sites. I really like this site for a quick weekend camp.

Disliked Rubble pile (from track building over a marshy patch at entrance) currently visible, and a couple of tatty looking caravans in storage, detract from the overall nature theme. These weren't there last time I camped here, so might just be temporary - I'll see next time.

Road noise is clearly heard, if that bothers you. I only noticed it if someone was ragging it along with a popping exhaust.

Local attractions

The big draw around here is Warwick Castle (15 minutes’ drive) – it’s well worth a proper day out to explore the dungeons, take in the shows, get lost in the maze, see the birds of prey flying, wander through the 64 acres of the estate… oh, and visit the castle itself, of course. For something just a little less expansive, head instead to Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden (15 minutes) or stroll around the pretty Jephson Gardens in Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes). Coventry (15 minutes) and Stratford-upon-Avon (25 minutes) are other good options for urban days out; try Ryton Pools Country Park (five minutes) or Stoneleigh Deer Golf Club (over the road) if you’d rather stay rural. If you need family days out, take bouncy kids over to the Jump In trampoline park (15 minutes), or get set for farm-based fun among the animals, play areas, funfair rides and escape rooms at Hatton Adventure World (25 minutes).
