Off on a family getaway in the Cotswolds? You must be heading for Cotswold Lakes Camping, a Wanderlust Camping Club certified campsite, which provides a blend of adventure activities and basic comforts.  The site is a short walk from the Cotswold Lakes, and you can spend your days exploring pretty Cotswold villages, hiking sections of the Thames Path and refuelling in traditional Cotswold pubs. If you’d rather get active with the kids, kayaking, watersports and fishing – for novices or seasoned pros – are all available a short drive away from the pitches. Facilities on site include mains water, hot showers and a recharge station. Self-catering is also easy, as the site has communal barbecues for guests to use alongside an indoor kitchen with three sinks, a microwave and a phone-charging tower and an outdoor kitchen with two washing-up sinks. Dogs are welcome on site, just as long as they’re kept on leads, and they even have their own designated walking areas.

What customers say

Great reviews for clean facilities, roomy pitches & friendly vibe. Handy food options & near lakes/towns. Some find it pricey, with minor issues like shower drainage, loo roll & few staff. Lake access isn't as easy as hoped.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Toilets and showers were kept clean and pleasant to use. Close to lots of places such as the sculpture museum, lakes and pub

Disliked Make sure to bring your own firepit because there’s no restrictions on how long you can use the ones provided so people were just hogging them and there weren’t enough to go around!

Local attractions

The beach at Cotswold Country Park is a mere 20 minutes’ walk away, where you can bounce around on the inflatable obstacle course. For more alfresco activities, hire cycles from Discover Bikes (10 minutes’ drive) and set off on woodland rides, or head to Lake 32 Outdoor Centre, where you can all take part in family paddleboarding and kayaking jaunts. You can also test your skills at archery at The Cotswold Range (both five minutes). Add a bit of culture into your holiday mix by checking out the mosaic flooring and ancient Roman version of central heating at National Trust - Chedworth Roman Villa (half an hour). Closer to base camp, there’s a wonderful sculpture trail with more than 170 installations in the Cotswold Sculpture Park (five minutes’ walk). Fancy a day petting farm animals and trying to spot a celebrity? Do both at Cotswold Farm Park (35 minutes’ drive), the brainchild of TV personality Adam Henson, and home of Shire horses, rare-breed sheep and cattle. You can also meet eye-to-eye with giraffes on the raised Giraffe Walkway at Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens (40 minutes).
