Wild camping with loads of space for everyone

  • Pick your own pitch at a 12-acre site on the banks of the River Avon
  • Warwick Castle and Royal Leamington Spa within 15 minutes' drive
  • Fishing on site (for an extra charge); farm shop/café a mile away
There are many reasons why one might fancy settling down by a river – perhaps for the fishing, the views, the wildlife… maybe even the chance to get in the water. Happily, all of the above are on the cards at Avon Wild Camping, a peaceful Warwickshire site on the banks of the River Avon 15 minutes' drive from Leamington Spa. There’s a mighty pretty stretch of the river running alongside one side of this site, making it a prime spot for kids to paddle and catch minnows in the shallows (under supervision, of course) or for grownups to pick up permits (available on site for an extra charge) to try their luck with the chub, pike, grayling, roach and brown trout that swim in the waters. It’s a popular part of the world with wildlife too, so settling down by the river with binoculars and/or a drink also comes highly recommended. All is very laidback around here: it’s a pick-your-own pitch place, with heaps of space to choose from around the 12 acres of meadow. Being a back-to-basics site, there are no electric hookups, but there is access to limited (but clean) toilet facilities, showers and running water. As this is an eco site, the toilets run on rainwater, guests are strongly encouraged to recycle and, without wifi, the kids are free to focus on playing by the river. Alfresco meals can be cooked up at the campfire area; there are firepits and kiln-dried timber available if you need them. Pick up supplies for such things at the farm shop a mile away; it’s also got a café for coffee, cakes, pizzas and other meals if you’d rather eat out. There are several good country pubs nearby too, or you could scoot into Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes’ drive) for more places to eat and drink.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The site was spacious and the river was great for the kids to splash and play in. They loved the long grass to hunt for insects and to play hide and seek in. Beautiful and quiet site. We will definitely be back.

Third year coming with my son, we love it and will keep coming back.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location next to the river and plenty of space to pitch up.
There were four toilets and two showers, which was better than expected.
The kids enjoyed playing in the river!

Disliked The toilets ran out of soap towards the end of the day, but that's ok as we didn't expect there to be any so brought some!

Toilets clean, shower, dishes washing place. The grass been cut.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We came just for one night, first time with a big bee tent and zero experience with putting the tent up.....the campsite owner explained us everything and we also got a lot of help from our camping neighbours! Thank you for the warm welcome, we are much more confident now and we will definitely come back as the campsite is fantastic, location is just by the river, plenty of space, quite and peaceful.Thank you once again for help. Anita & Andrew

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked - Lovely location
- Access to the river
- Plenty of room to choose from and explore

Disliked Nothing in particular, but if I had to say...

- Not very well signposted, but perhaps intentional for security reasons
- Only one loo block but they are tidy and clean
- A tad on the expensive side for wild camping but I suppose you are paying for the river access. Could do with a few more facilities for the price perhaps.

Local attractions

The big draw around here is Warwick Castle (15 minutes’ drive) – it’s well worth a proper day out to explore the dungeons, take in the shows, get lost in the maze, see the birds of prey flying, wander through the 64 acres of the estate… oh, and visit the castle itself, of course. For something just a little less expansive, head instead to Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden (15 minutes) or stroll around the pretty Jephson Gardens in Royal Leamington Spa (10 minutes). Coventry (15 minutes) and Stratford-upon-Avon (25 minutes) are other good options for urban days out; try Ryton Pools Country Park (five minutes) or Stoneleigh Deer Golf Club (over the road) if you’d rather stay rural. If you need family days out, take bouncy kids over to the Jump In trampoline park (15 minutes), or get set for farm-based fun among the animals, play areas, funfair rides and escape rooms at Hatton Adventure World (25 minutes).
