  • Gloucestershire farm site with a farmstand selling seasonal produce
  • Near the Cotswold Way and other walks; 50 minutes' drive to Bristol
  • Chickens, duck, pigs and sheep on site; walk to the village pub
Surrounded by sloping countryside and quiet farmland, Farwood Farm is one of those rural spots where the views are simply splendid from dawn through to dark. Out in the gorgeous Gloucestershire countryside about five minutes’ drive from Nailsworth, this site is part of a working smallholding where owners Kim and Mark are raising sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks as well as growing fruit and vegetables for self-sufficiency. They also have a farmstand on site where guests can get their hands on eggs, fresh meat (both lamb and pork products) and seasonal produce. Many of the animals roam free at this site, so don’t be surprised if you come across the odd sheep or two nibbling their way around the pitch area. After all, you’ll be staying on pitches mown into the long grass, with the rest left more natural to provide space for wildlife (and hungry sheep). The emphasis at this site is on enjoying the rural peace, views and fresh air, so facilities have been kept on the simple side. That said, you’ll have access to all the essentials: portable toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a wifi connection are all on hand. There’s also a barbecue, a picnic table and a communal fridge-freezer – and you’re welcome to bring your own barbecue as well. For meals out, there’s a pub 15 minutes’ walk away in Horsley and more options in Nailsworth. Heading out, you may like to take a walk on the nearby Cotswold Way, go horse riding or mountain biking, or mix up your countryside time with trips to Cheltenham, Bristol and Bath.

What customers say

This family farm campsite has great countryside views & a chill vibe. Hosts Kim & Mark are super friendly. Plenty of space to pick your spot, with animals roaming around. Barn facilities (kitchen, bath, shower) are clean. Some found the walk to facilities far, and there's a farm smell, but folks loved it & want to come back.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Fanstastic views, great facilities (including a fridge you can use, a kettle and tea bags), swings the children loved and produce you could order straight from the farm itself. Fire bowls and firewood could be requested as well. The owners were some of the friendliest and most accommodating I have ever met. A standout moment happened when we arrived. Upon seeing that I was unable to get up the hill in my to the pitch, they let me borrow their 4x4 to ferry up the tent, etc.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Nice small holding site, very friendly host and helpful extras like a kettle in the barn. Only a couple of miles to the cotswold way. Also generous arrival and departure times allows you to get the most out your stay. There is a lot going for this place.

Disliked We have done a lot of camping this summer and generally have been careful to pick sites that are clear about noise cut off times etc and have had really good trips. While your fellow campers are always a lottery, we had a bad night with loud music into the small hours and we didn't get peace until 2am. While I did report this to the owner when it started to spoil our visit earlier, that didn't appear to be acted upon. The owner did say they'll make the rules clearer after the fact, until then if you come on a busy day I'd take up the option to pitch away from the main field if quiet is important to you.

Bell tent

Liked Wonderful Bell Tent stay under the stars. Great for a family of four and one dog. We loved the tent, warm showers and clean facilities and hosts were delightful. Chicken sheep ducks galore. Great laid back weekend to reconnect. Lovely pub short walking distance. Fire pit and BBQ parking by the Bell Tent.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very peaceful, relaxed campsite, with far reaching views and plenty of secure space for the kids and dog to roam.
The kids enjoyed seeing the sheep, chicken and ducks.
We wandered to the pub for a drink, which was only a 15 min walk away.

Disliked The only criticism would be the shower. The plughole was full of hair, the tray was pretty grim and there were lots of spiders overhead, so was a quick in and out!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The owners Kim and Mark were happy to help with whatever we needed and lovely to have a friendly chat with. They offered us the option of meat produce grown on their farm and a firepit. Mark even brought the firepit over to where our tent was and set it up for us.The farm is beautiful and well equipped with a toilet, shower, and kitchen in the barn. The land covers 13 acres so there is so much room which meams there can easily be a large gap between you and other campers to keep it nice and peaceful.

Disliked Nothing it was great!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Free choice of pitches as the site was not to busy, although there's plenty of room if it is busier. Excellent location and loved the animals free roaming and coming to say hi! Lovely dark skies on a night and the site was deadly quiet. Owners were so accommodating.

Disliked Only downside is all of the facilities are in the barn which may be a bit of a trek if you're on the top fields or at the far end.

Liked Amazing hospitality, beautiful farm, perfect location, great animals, good chats, delicious pork chops and lamb chops ❤️

Disliked Was a bit worried my can wouldn’t make it up the hill, so missed out on the views. But had a really gorgeous time camped down in the lower part.

Local attractions

You’ll be in the Cotswolds National Landscape here, so there are plenty of places to stretch your legs on a walk nearby, including jaunts on the Cotswold Way and along the banks of the Thames and Severn Canal. Westonbirt, The National Arboretum (15 minutes’ drive) is also a wonderful place for a wander, as are the estates of Woodchester Mansion (10 minutes) and Highgrove House (15 minutes). Fancy something different for your walk? How about an arty stroll around the Cotswold Sculpture Park (half an hour) or an outing with Cotswold Alpacas (35 minutes)? You can also take tours of Woodchester Valley Vineyard (10 minutes) or step aboard the Negus 747 (25 minutes) to see what it’s like to sit in business class… or the cockpit. For urban wanders, take your pick from the Regency architecture of Cheltenham (40 minutes), the numerous attractions of Bristol (50 minutes) and the ever-popular abbey and Roman baths in Bath (55 minutes).
