What customers say
This little gem's a ripper – peaceful, quiet, with a cracking lake. Campers loved the friendly hosts, top-notch showers, and communal kitchen. Great spot for walks near Painswick. Just a heads-up on the loos and the uphill trek back to the Cotswold Way; managers are onto it.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked We were originally planning to stay at Painswick Glamping for just 2 nights, on a trip to visit WWT Slimbridge Wetland. However, we were having such a fun time (despite picking a very rainy few days to visit!) that we decided to stay for an extra night, which was no problem at all!
The campsite is small and peaceful, with only four tent pitches, and we were alone for 2 nights out of our 3 night stay.
The kitchen facilities are super convenient, with a kettle, toaster, fridge, freezer, and plug sockets to charge up your devices. The bathroom is well maintained, with a warm shower.
There is a lovely pond which you can see from your tent, and plenty of birds and wildlife all around.
Would definitely recommend this site for fairly new campers like ourselves.
Painswick is a picturesque village, with some pretty buildings, 2 cafes, 2 pubs, a corner shop, and a little tourist information centre by the church. However, it is very quiet with not much to do in the village itself. I would recommend driving the 15-20 mins to Gloucester or Stroud during your stay if you want to go to a bigger supermarket or do any activities.
Also, WWT Slimbridge is a must visit while in the area if you love birds!
As said in the description, this is a working farm, so expect to hear the cows early in the morning.
Disliked Only warning I would give to future visitors is that the drive down from the town to the site is a very steep hill with a few sharp turns, and a narrow road. Would not recommend for nervous drivers or very large vehicles!

Liked What a wonderful campsite. So peaceful, calm and relaxing. Pitches were really smooth, the toilet/shower was clean and hot, the kitchen space was wonderful and such a lovely touch of the owner popping by to say hello. Will definitely be back!

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Fantastic site. Beautiful surroundings. Level pitches. Pretty fishing lake. Indoor kitchen area with sink, kettle, microwave and fridge. Good sized toilet and shower. Large sofa and tables, indoors. Plenty of picnic benches. Tall trees around the lake giving shade when needed. Very friendly and helpful owner.
Short stroll, up hill into the pretty village of Painswick with shop, cafés, chemist.
Ideal for those like me walking the Cotswold Way.

Anonymous Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Excellent large flat area for pitching the tent, easy access to drinking water, building with a kettle, microwave and sofas, chairs and tables from which I could watch the tortential rain falling on the lake whilst charging my phone. Walk to the site was downhill from the Cotswold Way which was good after a long hike (although you obviously have to walk back up it when leaving). Conveniently placed food shop and a cafe half way between the trail and the site.

Wonderfull Time.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Spacious space, just before The season starts. I was there for one night only but its was well worth to be. Lots of walk trails around and fresh, morning breeze from the fields.
Disliked No dislikes. I do not know how about The peak season there.

Good showers, and handy barn rest room and kitchen.

Liked Lovely setting. Quiet and sheltered.
The host made the effort to check I was ok, despite the fact I had communicated/paid remotely, which was a welcome surprise.
Disliked Steep hill back into Painswick 😂😂😂
