  • Gloucestershire family campsite with Cotswold Hills views
  • A 15-minute drive to Cotswold Farm Park; 30 minutes to Blenheim Palace
  • Five minutes’ drive to Stow-on-the-Wold; bus service nearby
Along with a spacious grass camping ground (as one might expect of sporting pitches), Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club has some seriously eye-catching views of the Cotswold Hills. This site is in a fab location just outside the historic village of Stow-on-the Wold in Gloucestershire, making it a smashing spot for family rambles, touring and gallivanting all over the Cotswolds. From the hilltop pitches you can walk for miles on local footpaths without going near a road (thus making this a cracking base for cyclists too), and if you’re keen to get on the golf course, you can book a round at Naunton Downs Golf Club (10 minutes). Eager to do some city sightseeing but prefer to leave the vehicle behind? No worries, a local bus service leaving from the local village of Oddington (a short walk away) can whisk you off to theatreland in Stratford-upon-Avon (40 minutes) or the dreaming spires of Oxford (55 minutes). Back on site, simple facilities include showers, toilets and a wifi connection (around the clubhouse) so you can keep in touch with the folk back home. Stow (five minutes’ drive) has cafés, bars and a couple of small and handy stores for basics. For more amenities, the best stop is Moreton-in-Marsh (15 minutes) for markets, pubs, supermarkets and indie shops. It’s also got a mainline rail station with services to London.

What customers say

A peaceful, roomy campsite with ripper views and top-notch staff. Facilities, including the dunny and showers, are usually clean and well-kept. Perfect spot for checking out the Cotswolds, with Stow-on-the-Wold just a short stroll. Some sites are a bit sloped, but most punters found 'em manageable. The rugby club and pizza van on-site were a hit.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked No gates, so easy to come and go when we chose to.

Disliked Toilets were not cleaned daily, and when the rugby club parents were on site, the number of loos was inadequate.
Washing up facilities were not cleaned regularly.
When the rugby was on, parents parked between and in the camping pitches. I asked 2 cars to move off the adjacent pitch so that a felliw camper could return. These pitches have signs and an electricity point, so they shuld not be confused with a parking area. So much for the 6 m fire break which is important in camping regulations.

Liked Access and the views

Disliked Facilities were not the cleanest as they seemed to be open to the general public as well as those using the pitches. in our experience those using facilites tend to leave them in the condition they would like to find them, not so with these ones. If they are only for the pitches then perhaps use a security access code lock?

From the manager: Hi, thanks for visiting us & leaving a review.

You may be aware that there is a public footpath that runs through the rugby club ground so unfortunately we do get the odd walker taking advantage of the camping facilities & as you rightly observe, they don't care about the cleanliness of the facilities.

We can't put a lock on the doors as they are hired in units & the hire company don't allow any alterations to their units. The facilities are cleaned at least twice a day & we also leave ops & buckets for those who feel they can mop up after themselves, sadly, not everyone does.

Thanks for staying with us.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for staying with us & leaving a review. we're surprised you found the rugby people using the dedicated camping toilets as the club has its own integrated toilet facility & the camping toilets are a long way from the clubhouse, unless you used the clubhouse toilets in error. The camping toilets are cleaned at least twice a day, morning & evening so they should be in decent condition most of the time. Our staff have not reported any complaints from you or others, if they had we would have addressed this immediately.

Thanks for staying with us.

Liked Quiet site with lovely views.

Disliked I don't think the showers get cleaned regularly, and the pitches were quite close together.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for visiting us & leaving a review. WE can advise that the showers are cleaned at least twice a day, morning & evening, however if the use is high during the day its not always possible to carry out additional cleans. We do leave mops & buckets etc for users to have a wipe around when they use the facilities between cleans, however some visitors are not so diligent.

The camping pitches are in accordance with the camping club recommendations which our planning permission is based on.

Quiet, but does have a few problem areas to fix.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Quiet site. Free WiFi point near the club house.

Disliked Toilet emptying point out in the open not far from the main path. Found a lot of dog mess that had been left in the grass. Also some were just letting their dogs run around without a lead. We had are own dog, and she was kept on a leash all the time, also cleared up her mess, so it can be done.

Local attractions

Sort the kids out first, with rare-breed animal encounters at Cotswold Farm Park, home of Adam Henson of ‘Countryfile’ fame (15 minutes’ drive), raptor flying displays at Cotswold Falconry Centre (20 minutes) and flamingos and penguins at Birdland Park and Gardens (15 minutes). Vintage cars are displayed at Cotswold Motoring Museum in pretty Bourton-on-the-Water (15 minutes), where you can also picnic by the Windrush river. Once the kids are happy, you could go stately pile bagging at National Trust-owned properties including Chastleton House (10 minutes), with tours of sumptuous Jacobean interiors, or the Arts and Crafts mansion at Hidcote (30 minutes), which is surrounded by lavender-filled gardens. And of course, monumental Blenheim Palace (30 minutes) is a day trip in itself, with Capability Brown-designed parkland to wander, fine apartments to explore and all manner of outdoor activities. There are loads of delightful, mellow-stone Cotswold villages to nose around, including Chipping Campden (20 minutes), Broadway and Burford (both 25 minutes). If you feel like you've earned a beer (as you surely have), Hook Norton Brewery (20 minutes) is open for guided tours and craft-beer tastings, while Diddly Squat Farm Shop is a quarter of an hour away.
