  • Pick your own pitch at a 12-acre site on the banks of the River Avon
  • Warwick Castle and Royal Leamington Spa within 15 minutes' drive
  • Fishing on site (for an extra charge); farm shop/café a mile away
There are many reasons why one might fancy settling down by a river – perhaps for the fishing, the views, the wildlife… maybe even the chance to get in the water. Happily, all of the above are on the cards at Avon Wild Camping, a peaceful Warwickshire site on the banks of the River Avon 15 minutes' drive from Leamington Spa. There’s a mighty pretty stretch of the river running alongside one side of this site, making it a prime spot for kids to paddle and catch minnows in the shallows (under supervision, of course) or for grownups to pick up permits (available on site for an extra charge) to try their luck with the chub, pike, grayling, roach and brown trout that swim in the waters. It’s a popular part of the world with wildlife too, so settling down by the river with binoculars and/or a drink also comes highly recommended. All is very laidback around here: it’s a pick-your-own pitch place, with heaps of space to choose from around the 12 acres of meadow. Being a back-to-basics site, there are no electric hookups, but there is access to limited (but clean) toilet facilities, showers and running water. As this is an eco site, the toilets run on rainwater, guests are strongly encouraged to recycle and, without wifi, the kids are free to focus on playing by the river. Alfresco meals can be cooked up at the campfire area; there are firepits and kiln-dried timber available if you need them. Pick up supplies for such things at the farm shop a mile away; it’s also got a café for coffee, cakes, pizzas and other meals if you’d rather eat out. There are several good country pubs nearby too, or you could scoot into Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes’ drive) for more places to eat and drink.

What customers say

Popular, relaxed wild camping by a scenic river. Families love the water access and rope swings. Basic but clean facilities with upgrades noted. Peaceful vibe, friendly owners, but signage and rubbish disposal could be better.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked First time camping as a family of 5. Turn up and set up where ever you want. This site is ran by ANPR camera and Tom the owner will message you with details the day before arrival, he will give you his number if any problems but we didn’t need it. Big field along the river with 4 toilets, 2 showers and a washing up space. Perfect for wild camping/back to basics which is exactly what we were looking for. Everyone was spaced out and friendly. We had plenty of space to run around and play games and also swim in the river. There’s a few swings dotted round for the kids. We had a bbq and a fire on the night. You can purchase wood on site too which we didn’t need to. We had a great sleep, even had a lie in. Overall we had a great stay, the weather played a big part by staying warm and dry and we are definitely coming back!

Liked The small river...

Disliked It was very loud at night and the price for this place is too expensive, because the washing rooms and toilets are very old!But tbh the small river next to the camping was very beautifull.

From the manager: We have a no music policy, if you’re looking for complete silence I would recommend staying during the week… not during the 6 week holiday, when we’re fully booked on a Saturday night during amazing weather ☀️ you’ll find every beach, leisure park & place with cold water to cool off will be just as busy on the weekend

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely small long site with pitches along the bank of the river Avon and a small toilet block at the end. Loved the funky wallpaper in the toilets which were clean and well supplied, and I never had to queue for toilet or shower even when the site seemed full. The shallow river was great to paddle through with a deeper spot for swimming, with a rope swing the kids loved

Disliked I could only find one tap for water near the toilets and it wasn't clear if this was drinking water. The washing up sink only seemed to have cold water.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked It's a great spot and the river is lovely and easy to access. It's a quiet site, despite it being very busy.

Disliked The toilet facilities had no soap and the site ran out of water on the Sunday morning. The showers are not great - one is just mist and they are both over the toilets. Also, whilst not the fault of the campsite, it worth noting that the footpath to get to the pub is overgrown and not accessible. There is obvious drinking water tap.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words. Luckily our new toilets and showers are just being installed, the old ones have served us well but it was time for an upgrade. Hopefully you will get to use them when you return :) thanks again

Local attractions

The big draw around here is Warwick Castle (15 minutes’ drive) – it’s well worth a proper day out to explore the dungeons, take in the shows, get lost in the maze, see the birds of prey flying, wander through the 64 acres of the estate… oh, and visit the castle itself, of course. For something just a little less expansive, head instead to Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden (15 minutes) or stroll around the pretty Jephson Gardens in Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes). Coventry (15 minutes) and Stratford-upon-Avon (25 minutes) are other good options for urban days out; try Ryton Pools Country Park (five minutes) or Stoneleigh Deer Golf Club (over the road) if you’d rather stay rural. If you need family days out, take bouncy kids over to the Jump In trampoline park (15 minutes), or get set for farm-based fun among the animals, play areas, funfair rides and escape rooms at Hatton Adventure World (25 minutes).
