  • Gloucestershire family campsite with Cotswold Hills views
  • A 15-minute drive to Cotswold Farm Park; 30 minutes to Blenheim Palace
  • Five minutes’ drive to Stow-on-the-Wold; bus service nearby
Along with a spacious grass camping ground (as one might expect of sporting pitches), Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club has some seriously eye-catching views of the Cotswold Hills. This site is in a fab location just outside the historic village of Stow-on-the Wold in Gloucestershire, making it a smashing spot for family rambles, touring and gallivanting all over the Cotswolds. From the hilltop pitches you can walk for miles on local footpaths without going near a road (thus making this a cracking base for cyclists too), and if you’re keen to get on the golf course, you can book a round at Naunton Downs Golf Club (10 minutes). Eager to do some city sightseeing but prefer to leave the vehicle behind? No worries, a local bus service leaving from the local village of Oddington (a short walk away) can whisk you off to theatreland in Stratford-upon-Avon (40 minutes) or the dreaming spires of Oxford (55 minutes). Back on site, simple facilities include showers, toilets and a wifi connection (around the clubhouse) so you can keep in touch with the folk back home. Stow (five minutes’ drive) has cafés, bars and a couple of small and handy stores for basics. For more amenities, the best stop is Moreton-in-Marsh (15 minutes) for markets, pubs, supermarkets and indie shops. It’s also got a mainline rail station with services to London.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great overnight stay at Stow on the World, travelling with a 3 year old and 1 year old, small play park for them but field is enough for them to run and play - bar open until late for after their bed, stone throw from camping and allowed to take drinks back - perfect - few comments read before about taking levelling ramps, yes you do need too but expected given it’s in Cotswold

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Peaceful campsite, electricity worked well, toilets and showers were clean and nice.

Best thing was that they sent a sparkie who helps around the club to help when our awning broke and wouldn't retract, and he fixed it for free. Saved us an absolute headache of finding someone who could fix it locally and last minute.

Douglas W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very quiet site.very large open field. Facilities very clean with lots of hot water, water taps close to pitches.

Disliked Hard standing pitches close to each other considering how large the field was. Levelling ramps required as field slopes in all directions.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for staying with us & leaving a review.

With regards to the pitch size/space, unfortunately we are restricted by our planning permission on what we could put on the site, our local planning control are very strict in what they allow us to do in the Cotswolds!

Thanks again for staying with us, we hope to see you again.

Local attractions

Sort the kids out first, with rare-breed animal encounters at Cotswold Farm Park, home of Adam Henson of ‘Countryfile’ fame (15 minutes’ drive), raptor flying displays at Cotswold Falconry Centre (20 minutes) and flamingos and penguins at Birdland Park and Gardens (15 minutes). Vintage cars are displayed at Cotswold Motoring Museum in pretty Bourton-on-the-Water (15 minutes), where you can also picnic by the Windrush river. Once the kids are happy, you could go stately pile bagging at National Trust-owned properties including Chastleton House (10 minutes), with tours of sumptuous Jacobean interiors, or the Arts and Crafts mansion at Hidcote (30 minutes), which is surrounded by lavender-filled gardens. And of course, monumental Blenheim Palace (30 minutes) is a day trip in itself, with Capability Brown-designed parkland to wander, fine apartments to explore and all manner of outdoor activities. There are loads of delightful, mellow-stone Cotswold villages to nose around, including Chipping Campden (20 minutes), Broadway and Burford (both 25 minutes). If you feel like you've earned a beer (as you surely have), Hook Norton Brewery (20 minutes) is open for guided tours and craft-beer tastings, while Diddly Squat Farm Shop is a quarter of an hour away.
