Unpowered grass and gravel tent site

Liked: The area is nice and we had a lovely walk in woodlands close to the campsite.

Disliked: No running water. Very basic with a compost loo surrounded by stingy nettles. Few other guests but noisy drunkenness in the middle of the night. All pubs in the area closed at 6pm or didn't serve food on a bank holiday Sunday.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I am sorry that you were not happy with the camping area. The area was topped and tidy with plenty of space to pitch tents in pleasant surroundings. There was running water on a stand pipe in the field and also by the farm shop, i am sorry if you were not made aware of this. We do state that it is basic camping and the compost toilet was easily accessible with a clear path strimmed and cut back in the orchard area. We do not state that we offer any activities or provisions for children so to give us 2 out of 10 for that is slightly unfair. We are a fully working farm that try to help keep the farm going with a little added income for camping. We are not a commercial campsite and do not claim to be.

Local attractions

If you’re not already getting hungry from the idea of all that tasty farm food, you probably will be once you’ve had a good long country walk or bike ride. Purton House Camping is in between the Cotswolds and the North Wessex Downs National Landscapes so you won’t be short of scenic trails to follow. And other outdoor adventures await nearby too – perhaps paddleboarding and kayaking at The Real Outdoor Xperience (15 minutes’ drive), archery and shooting at The Cotswold Range (15 minutes) or off-road electric scooter rides at Baboon Adventures (20 minutes). For something a little gentler, you could visit Butterfly World & Farm Park or stroll through the grounds of Lydiard Park (both 10 minutes). Swindon (15 minutes) is a good source of activities too – especially on damp days. It’s home to the excellent STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway, the Museum of Computing and the shops of Designer Outlet Swindon as well as an ice rink and cinemas.
