  • Wild camping pitches overlooking the River Leam in Warwickshire
  • A 10-minute drive to Royal Leamington Spa; golf course over the road
  • Off-grid field with river walks from the site; a gastropub next door
Get right back to basics at River Leam Wild Camping, a quiet family campsite in the Warwickshire village of Hunningham, where you can pick your own pitch alongside the water. There’s heaps of space to choose from around the six-acre meadow, so you can be as sociable with fellow campers or as private as you want. Soak up the sounds of nature, enjoy a leisurely riverside walk, go for a paddle or cast a few lines in the river… but sooner or later you’ll probably find yourselves heading for the gastropub next door to sample great British food at its best. There are several other good country pubs nearby too, or you could scoot into Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes’ drive) for more places to eat and drink. If you’d rather go down the self-sufficiency route, barbecues are allowed on the camping field, as long as they are off the ground and do not burn the grass. You can bring one from home or rent at the site – kindling is available to buy too. And this being a no-frills sort of place, please note electric hookups and showers are not provided. However, there is access to limited toilet facilities at the pub next door.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Peace and quiet and brilliant views all around you. Located near Leamington Spa for visiting etc.

Disliked: No sign posts for walks available by the river. So made our own walks up. There was a field but no bins nearby for rubbish. Also never met the owner of the campsite.

Good for a 1 or 2 night stay to get away from life.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Tom is a great host and very friendly. Pretty much leaving you to your own devices yet reassuring you that he is only a text message or phone call away if you do need him. The site it self is in a great location on the river Leam. There is a pub just close enough to be convenient but far enough away that you still get a taste of that "wild" camp experience. I would certainly stay again.

Disliked: Though there isn't anything that didn't meet our own personal expectations, we did over hear another guest complain about river access. That being said I am not entirely sure what he was expecting. If it's fun on a river you are after the river Avon in Warwick is only a 15 minute drive away, there's even a Tesco and a Lidl on the way so you can grab some picnic bits on the way. Paddling along the river is arguably the best way to see Warwick castle and is highly recommended.
