  • 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.

Liked Lovely, roomy pitch although had to pitch transversely. Wonderful views, great showers and loos.

Disliked Couldn’t find a kitchen so forced to do washing up in ladies loo’s.

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

we're sorry you didn't find the wash up area, it is sign posted from the site & is by the social area to the side of the clubhouse, its also detailed in the printed site info handouts in the clubhouse lobby along with the other site info.

Kind regards.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Good showers. Good toilets - except the ones in the rugby club building which were disgusting. Liked lack of petty rules. Liked the spaciousness and ther quiet - even the first night, which was busy, all was quiet for the night.

Disliked It would be helpful to tell people that the electric hook-up pitches are very sloping. I hven't room in my little camperven to carry levelling blocks; fortunately found a couple of bricks which served the purpose. Saw no staff, so cannot comment.

Jennifer Ann J.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Yes, lovely location, needed the blocks to level up.
Friendly club house when open. They don't do food themselves, sometimes there's a food truck but don't rely on them.

Disliked Nothing really, apart from the electric hook ups the field is open to pick your own space. Being marked out would be better.
About a mile outside the town, walking on the busy road. We took the van in.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: HI Jennifer, thanks for staying with us & for your review. We certainly wouldn't recommend walking into Stow along the main road, there is a much quieter footpath through the village of Maugersbury which leads into Stow staying off the busy road. There is a map of the footpath in the clubhouse lobby where the camping info is located which is always open.

Really pleased you enjoyed staying with us, hope to see you again!!

Nice site in the countryside at a very reasonable price

Graham W.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked First time on set - nice and quiet with great view. We were on a hard standing pitch with EHU with was sloping - definitely need levelling blocks - not a lot of room between the pitches though, but ok.
Reasonable facilities - very good showers.
Staff on site very nice and great having clubhouse open.
Nice walks from site to Stow and local villages.

Disliked Toilet facilities don't seem to be cleaned regularly - we had overflowing waste bins and no soap in ladies toilet for the two days we were on site.

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.
