  • Pop-up riverside campsite in a classic Cotswold setting
  • Cotswold Farm Park five minutes' drive; Sudeley Castle 15 minutes
  • Half a mile from amenities in Temple Guiting village centre
Cricket Field Campsite is a small-scale pop-up campsite in Gloucestershire that sits within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located in an attractive riverside setting on the outskirts of the small village of Temple Guiting, this classic Cotswold campsite is well-placed for laidback outdoor breaks. This site is made up of two fields, one of which has pitches and the other is available for recreational activities. The site is also on the edge of the river Windrush, where you can relax by the water over a picnic. This family-friendly Gloucestershire park is close to lots of top Cotswold attractions, including the Cotswold Farm Park (five minutes' drive from base) and historic Sudeley Castle (15 minutes). For hikes and days out on foot, you're also a few minutes' walk from the Diamond Way, a lovely long-distance route that takes in some of the best scenery around. The village centre has handy amenities like a post office and an independent café (the site owners particularly recommend its afternoon teas and Sunday afternoon lunches), while the nearest pub is roughly a mile and a half away.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Friendly staff and nice location, with a few good local walks through scenic areas. Plenty of pubs and villiages within easy walking distance and more to do within 20 minutes drive. The site had hot showers as well, which was unusual.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: It was quiet

Disliked: Most of it, no marked out pitches, everything is very very basic, overpriced for a field with 2 toilets, water basins and showers

From the manager: Dear Damian, I am very sorry you didn't enjoy your stay on our campsite. As your review points out, yes, we are a basic campsite. However, we make no pretences to be otherwise -in fact, it is quite clear from our description on Pitchup that we have basic facilities, and that we cater for customers that want that. We are a pop-up campsite, and pride ourselves on being a sustainable, low-impact site that caters for those that want to have acres of space, and feel in touch with nature. I'm sorry if that wasn't what you wanted, but that is what we provide. I'm sorry also, that it rained on the days that you were staying. This obviously may have made it harder to appreciate what our campsite provides and made your experience overall worse - but that is a risk that you do take when camping. As to the question of our price, relative to most campsites in the Cotswolds, we are well priced. Best Wishes, William

Beautiful field and very friendly host who welcomed us.…

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: What a little gem. Lovely spot - less than 25 mins to 2 pubs. Contrary to the info on the site you can park your car next to your pitch - which is very useful when you've taken the kitchen sink 'just in case; you need that item at 10pm! The 20 year old in charge (son of the land owner) is a jolly nice chap and very helpful. He currently bombs about in a beaten up little number. Charging £1 a log I think next year he'll be able to upgrade!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Beautiful campsite in stunning peaceful location. Pitches well spaced out in mowed circles.

Disliked: The facilities let this site down. Only two compost toilets which were never clean, one with a door which did not shut and with approximately 80 people on site when we stayed it was an unpleasant experience with young children. No sink for washing hands after using toilet so the only two sinks had to be used for washing hands, brush teeth, washing up dishes and filling water containers. Two small showers not enough as again only one working properly. No where to keep towel and clothes dry whilst using showers. Whilst only 24 pitches on our field most pitches booked for large families and groups (one had five cars!) and the site was not set up for these numbers!
