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.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We returned from last year & we loved how much the camp site has improved. You have worked hard throughout the winter to sort the grassing issues you had in 2025. Really cool camp site. Thanks.

Disliked My only negative was my boy was playing & there were a few areas that had spikey weeds & he stepped in them whilst playing in the middle of the field (opposite the electric hook area)

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The campsite is very overpriced for facilities, its a lovely clean campsite with great food hut and facilities are adequate , pitches clean and well portioned, just very expensive for what is provided.
Also it seems very silly to not be able to access cotswold beach lake through the field. We stayed here specifically to be close walking distance to lake and beach, it is very close but blocked off with big hedge, so have to walk in the opposite direction to get to lake- 20 min walk

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Access to showers and toilets. Location to the water park and a local pub.

Disliked Couldn’t find an Elsa’s point and all toilets were struggling with some blocked and unusable. Lack of storage for waste is a big problem I hope you can fix it for next year.As I can see it is a new camp. Also showers were always cold on my visits daily lucky it was so hot.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great little site and close to lake 32 water park. Very welcoming.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Pitches perfectly sizes for our vw camper. The entire site was huge, with loads of facilities. The other campers were exceptionally friendly.
The van onsite did really tasty food.

Disliked Local pub (Hunter’s Arms) is excellent but very expensive. Not a single shop (that I could find) in the village. Trying to walk to the local lakes was hard (along main roads), and once you get there you need a wristband to be allowed to purchase a tea/coffee.

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).
