  • Well-kept, quiet Wiltshire farm site 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury
  • Westonbirt, The National Arboretum and Highgrove 20 minutes’ drive
  • Café with views over the fields; play barn for an additional fee
If you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids for a few days of country life, you should be heading to Down on the Farm, on the edge of the Cotswolds and 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury in North Wiltshire. This peaceful pop-up site is set on a beef farm with lots of curious cows to meet and great, and, for an additional fee, kids can access the huge play barn to play farm-themed games and ride mini tractors about the place. And for adults? Well, there’s a popular café with views over the farm fields, a modern facilities block with family shower rooms, and a camping field sheltered by mature trees. You can also set off on rural walks from the pitches, which are dog-friendly so Fido can join in the holiday fun too.  There are lots of options for family days out, whether it’s swimming at Cotswold Water Park (15 minutes’ drive) or exploring the standing stones at Avebury (35 minutes). And if you’d rather just stick around and chill on site, you can look forward to regular colourful sunsets and nights cosied up around the firepit.

What customers say

A lovely, family-friendly farm site with plenty of space and a warm welcome. Guests raved about the owners, cafe and play barn. Peaceful with great views, though shower facilities could be tighter. Many want to come back!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely campsite, child friendly. The kids really enjoyed seeing the goat's and cows as well as playing in the maze and with the tractors.

Disliked Could do with more showers.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We had an incredible stay at Down on the Farm at the end of July. The site is fantastically maintained, peacefully located, and offers everything you could possibly want for a relaxing outdoor stay. Pitching up here was an absolute breeze, the facilities were spotlessly clean, and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.

​It provided the ideal base for exploring, relaxing in the fresh air, and enjoying lighter summer evenings outdoors. Whether you're traveling solo, with family, or with dogs in tow, this spot delivers on every front. Couldn't recommend it enough, and we will definitely be back!

Power optional concrete slab motorhome site

Liked We had an absolutely brilliant stay and couldn’t fault it. Everything was clean, well looked after and really well organised, which made the whole experience easy and relaxing from the moment we arrived. The site had a lovely atmosphere and felt peaceful, welcoming and safe throughout our stay.
The staff were friendly, helpful and clearly took pride in making sure everyone had a great time. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve already recommended it to several friends and have started talking about all coming back and staying together next time. We would happily return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked We had a lovely peaceful stay (admittedly on a very quiet couple of nights) and really enjoyed ourselves. We were given a friendly welcome and enjoyed picking our own spot for our tent. The bacon sandwiches from the cafe in the morning were delicious!

From the manager: We're so pleased you enjoyed your visit with us.

I do recommend it on my post, because my boys love it.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked It’s a quiet and nice place, very good for young kids to play the toys and sand. My 4 years old boy love it. The viewing is quite good as well.

Disliked There is only two bath and some extra toilet in the cafe. It’s not very busy when I came. But I think some small extra bath would be better.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're please you all enjoyed your stay.

We do have additional showers on order which will help when it is busier.

Local attractions

If the kids are with you, chances are the lakeside beach at Cotswold Water Park (15 minutes’ drive) will be your first stop; there you can go kayaking, swimming and dinghy sailing. Active types can also play a round on the local golf course (10 minutes), and you can exercise any dogs on the waterside or woodland walks at Cleveland Lakes Nature Reserve (15 minutes). There are more leafy strolls – this time among rare trees – at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum (20 minutes), where you can take the kids to follow the Gruffalo Trail or run around on the tree-top walkway. You can tour the Royal gardens at Highgrove Gardens (20 minutes), and the gardeners among you might also like to see the manicured grounds at Bowood House and Gardens (35 minutes), while your offspring head for the aerial walkways and ziplines. Introduce some culture into your holiday with a visit to the Roman remains and Georgian-era architecture in Cirencester (25 minutes), or discover the three rings of neolithic standing stones at Avebury (35 minutes). If the latter piques your interest, Stonehenge and its engaging visitor centre are but an hour and 10 minutes’ drive away.
