  • Cosy family-run farm site three miles from the edge of the Cotswolds
  • Cotswold Wildlife Park five minutes’ drive; Oxford 40 minutes
  • On-site shop selling fresh produce; firepit provided for each pitch
Cocoon down for a rather cosy stay at West End Farm Camping, three miles from the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape. Pitches at this small and intimate family-run site are in a grassy plot surrounded by fields grazed by animals or left to grow for hay. West End Farm is just outside Shilton and a five-minute drive from the town of Burford and the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, meaning that you’ll also be well connected to several local attractions. This is a rural location, so the views come in strong – the site looks over the Cotswold hills and the Ridgeway National Trail. Handily, walking and cycling paths are not far away either, and there are lots of routes leading into pretty Cotswold villages and towns. From here though, you’ll be particularly primed to see Burford’s medieval bridge, church and antiques shops, or to potter into Shilton village (10 minutes’ walk) to relax by its ford or to visit its friendly pub. The site has a small shop stocked with meats such as pork and beef, plus eggs, bread and locally produced jams and honey, and each pitch has its own firepit to keep you warm on alfresco evenings (or even cook your dinner if you like). Other facilities on site include clean compost toilets and hot-water showers.

What customers say

Peaceful, well-organized farm campground with spacious, level sites, many with fire pits. Friendly staff, lovely rural setting, and farm animals are a hit. Basic, clean facilities, including compost toilets and hot showers. On-site shop and nearby attractions are highlights. Minor notes on dishwashing area and occasional wildlife/aircraft noise.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved how accommodating and helpful staff were. Loved the very ‘back to nature’ environment. It’s a real working farm and it doesn’t get much more rustic. We saw countless species of birds. We said hello to the cows. Great for star gazing too, the big open clear skies revealed ‘the bear’ constellation and other planets, The pitches were very spacious and immaculate. The fire pit on site was a great focal point. Plane spotting by day was also very rewarding with frequent activity at Nearly Brize Norton providing further entertainment.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely setting. Basic but well organised facilities. Innovative pitch layouts with "cut-grass" compounds. Lovely working farm environment. Allows camp fires. Friendly staff!

Disliked No-one votes for composting toilets but in fairness it was clear at time of booking. So, not a negative, just a comment. And actually they were well organised with all things available to give the best experience.

From the manager: Thanks for your comments all appreciated.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The campsite was very well looked after and quiet. The farm was very sweet as you can tell the animals are looked after well.

Disliked I should have asked for fire wood in advance which I wasn't aware of.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review. Sorry about the wood if you had said I would have left you some. We used to leave wood out for late comers but people would take some and not pay.

A lovely farm camp site. Will e returning.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Small, peaceful site with compost toilets and simple showers but the water was hot and plentiful.
Lovely to see pigs, cows, hens and ducks and a small play area for children.
Easy walk to look around the pretty village of Shilton. Great location for Crocodiles of the world, Burford and Cotswold wildlife park.
Farm shop on site selling their delicious bacon, eggs and sausage.
We enjoyed seeing the aeroplanes going to and from Brize Norton.

Disliked Washing up area is a tap and sink which was fine as we like simple camping but no shelter if it was raining.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your kind review, so sorry about the washing up station we do want to improve it.

Local attractions

Giraffes, lions and primates are just some of the residents at Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens (five minutes’ drive), where a lively programme of events includes feeding sessions, animal encounters and talks. When the kids are all animal-ed out, take them to the park’s Skymaze adventure playground, with treehouses and jungle bridges. On the upper fringes of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape is the Uffington White Horse (40 minutes), an equine figure carved into the side of a chalky hill in the Bronze Age. Other prehistoric remains in the area include the Iron Age Uffingdon Castle hillfort and several Neolithic burial mounds. Besides its famed universities, Oxford (40 minutes) also has the world-class Ashmolean Museum, which displays collections of western and eastern art, plus antiquities and musical instruments. Take a tour of the Bodleian Library, or book yourself on a relaxing cruise on the River Thames.
