  • Adults-only pitches on a working farm with views of the Cotswolds
  • A 25-minute drive from Cirencester and Cotswold Water Park
  • Farm shop on site; handy location surrounded by footpaths
If you’re crafting an adults-only break near the Cotswolds, Dora’s Pitches might just be the final ingredient. The pitches here are suitable for self-contained motorhomes and campervans only and based on a working farm with views of the Cotswolds. They're 25 minutes’ drive away from Cirencester and the Cotswold Water Park, meaning that the so-called ‘capital of the Cotswolds’ and watersports are within easy striking distance. The farm has its own shop called Dora’s Dairy, which sells milk, meat and eggs for breakfast sunny side up. There’s also a breakfast basket including a pack of bacon, a pack of pork sausages, six eggs and 500ml of fresh milk (all from the farm) available to order (just select the extra on your booking). Save any scraps for the canines; the pitches welcome well-behaved dogs. On-site facilities include water and a chemical waste disposal point. Where exactly is this place, then? Dora’s Pitches are on the edge of Purton, a quiet village with great local dining. There’s a village shop 15 minutes’ walk away and fresh produce at two farm shops within walking distance of the site. If you’re after a pint and local grub, you can find those at the local pub 15 minutes’ walk away. The working dairy farm is on top of a hill, well away from the road and surrounded by dog-friendly footpaths (with kissing gates). The welcome pack includes a map of the local footpaths, so you shouldn't get lost. Getting here should be a breeze, as the farm’s easily accessed from Junction 16 on the M4 or the A419 (both around five miles away). There is a regular bus service from the village to local towns too.

What customers say

A ripper spot on a working farm! Stunning views, top blokes running it, and a shop with fresh eggs and milk. Basic facilities. Watch out for the narrow track and the odd farm dog, but unreal value for a peaceful escape.

Unpowered grass and earth motorhome site

Liked We really liked the views, the peace and quiet and the animals as our neighbours.
The owner/farmer was most welcoming to us and although we didn’t need the farm shop, it looked excellent

Disliked We didn’t see the fresh water, not wishing to invade other people space we would have struggled if we hadn’t brought water with us and had family nearby. We didn’t see the chemical disposal either so we took our toilet home. We were a bit short of time on our arrival and went straight to visit
our family in the village. The track was very rough and that worried us with a new motor home, along with the tight entrance.

Liked Lovely views, friendly staff and a great farm shop. Vodafone and O2 have fantastic signal here, no problem streaming films. I can't comment on other networks as these are the only networks we have.

Disliked The farm road to the pitch is uneven and therefore bumpy.

Unpowered grass and earth motorhome site

Liked Basic site run by very friendly people in a little oasis off the beaten track but not far from city & motorway links.
It’s a nice little field with stunning views.
I loved the farm produce for sale too.
I’ve seen reviews marking this site down for lack of facilities, but it’s in the site description that there are no toilets or showers. You need to be self-contained. There’s elsan waste disposal and a water tap, so not exactly wild camping!

Disliked 1 grumpy camper who told me I was listening to the news too loudly at 11am in the morning, but hopefully I’ll never see him again!

Liked Good value. View was nice. Farm shop with milk, meat and eggs.

Disliked Felt not as nice as other Aires. People living permanently on there? It was hard to know where to stand, as a lot of caravabs were standing and we felt like intruding anywhere.

Local attractions

Step foot into a steam train simulator and try changing the signals… with Great Western Railway locomotives on display and a range of interactive features, STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway (15 minutes' drive) should nicely entertain those interested in the prime time of steam trains. Budding historians have plenty more to nose around too, whether it’s walks around the 17th-century grandstand at Lodge Park & Sherborne Park Estate (40 minutes) or peaceful picnics at the 18th-century Buscot Park (35 minutes) – both are National Trust sites. Those looking for a more active day trip will find their fix at the Cotswold Water Park (25 minutes), where there are chances to get stuck into kayaking, paddleboarding or waterskiing – or on the flip side, peacefully watching out for otters and watering birds on the lakeside trails.
