  • Lakeside glamping a 10-minute drive from Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Charlecote Park 10 minutes’ drive; Warwick 15 minutes
  • Immaculate facilities; fridges and firepits; fishing and great walks
If you’re looking for a top spot where to unwind and relax, Arden Lakes Camping is the place for you. With tall, ancient trees, six individual fishing lakes (stocked with carp and perch) and lots of wildlife, this site is located in the gorgeous county of Warwickshire, in Central England. There are several accommodation options here, but all come with great scenery and access to a range of well-maintained amenities (such as toilets, showers, fridges and washing-up facilities), as well as firepits, where you can gather for an outdoor cook-out or a few drinks in the evening. Arden Lakes is as peaceful and rural as it gets, but the site is also within very easy reach of some of Warwickshire’s most popular visitor attractions, including Stratford-upon-Avon (10 minutes’ drive), Shakespeare’s birthplace, and Warwick (15 minutes) with its imposing medieval castle. On top of that, Arden Lakes has direct access to many walking trails across the Welcombe Hills and surrounding countryside. Footpaths also link the site to the acclaimed local shop The Farm, where you can eat in or purchase fresh produce to take back to base. Fancy tasting some English wine? The site is also less than a mile from a vineyard.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Amazing location with lots of attractions within easy reach. A warm welcome from Jane with information pack which contains everything you need to know for your stay. The site itself is clean and the amenity block was spotless. It is very dark at night (which I loved) so do take a torch if you want to use the amenity block at night. Very quiet with anglers your only company during the day. Overall we loved Arden Lakes and will definatley be back.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We cannot recommend this campsite enough. The hosts were super friendly, showing us around the place when we first arrived. Their welcome pack and instructions were really helpful. The pitch was a very generous space, very private and peaceful. The washing up facilities were immaculate along with the private bathroom. We also very much appreciated the use of the fridge freezer located next to the washing up area. Lots to do in the area, you can take a gentle walk through the campsite and on public footpaths to Stratford-upon-Avon as well as walk around the lakes on the campsite.

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay, even though the weather could've been better.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Arden campsite is the best campsite I've ever been too. The site is clean. The pitch was completely private and having a private bathroom for a tent pitch was brilliant. Jane the owner was very friendly and helpful. We saw rabbits, squirrels, butterflies and a deer. We loved the honestly box for the fireplace. The surrounding area was also fabulous. Loved it stay and will most definitely be back.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Arden Lakes is an absolutely beautiful site. We liked the very private pitch location, the tranquil setting and being surrounded by nature. The facilities are immaculate, and Jane and Mike were really welcoming and helpful. The site is in a great location: less than an hour’s walk to the centre of Stratford Upon Avon, and a lovely farm shop a mile away.

1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked: Comms from the owner were good before hand and the site was easy to find. The location is very nice as is the position, quality and comfort of the shepherds Hut. They have really pushed the boat out and the full kitchen and quality equipment provided was really appreciated. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with very comfortable accommodation you will not be disappointed.

Local attractions

Shakespeare’s childhood home in Stratford-upon-Avon is a half-timbered cottage with a pretty garden where most weekends actors perform scenes from the Bard’s best-known plays. You can also catch a performance at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. When you’re all Shakespeared out, book yourself on a boat tour of the River Avon. On the banks of the Avon, Charlecote Park (10 minutes’ drive) is a Tudor house sympathetically expanded in Victorian times to maintain its original appearance. Check out the servants’ quarters, with a Victorian kitchen and laundry room, then take a stroll around the grounds, which were designed by Capability Brown and are home to a herd of deer. In the lively university town of Warwick, guided tours of the riverside castle take in its medieval interiors, which include the elegant Great Hall, with a chequered floor and a collection of weapons and armour. In the grounds are a peacock garden and an area for falconry displays.
