  • Seven-acre camping field behind an award-winning Cotswolds country pub
  • Five minutes' drive from Westonbirt Arboretum and Highgrove House
  • Adults-only site with veg polytunnels, orchards and garden pitches
Off to the Cotswolds? How about pitching up at a classic country pub with top-notch pub grub offering a large undercover outdoor seating area complete with an outside bar? And it being only a mile from gigs and shows at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum? You'll find this all at Tetbury Camping at The Holford Arms, an adults-only site set in a spacious seven-acre green field behind the award-winning Holford Arms pub near Tetbury in the Gloucestershire part of the Cotswolds. Meals at this restored 16th-century pub have won plaudits and prizes for their quality and variety, and always feature local produce plus own-grown fruit and vegetables from the on-site polytunnels. For a real treat, you can also add into the gourmet mix a wide selection of local gins, wine, real ale and craft beer including the pub's own pilsner and IPA. Dogs are welcome to join in all the fun in the pub and on the campsite, and please note that although this is an adult-only campsite, kids are welcome in the pub and other accommodation areas so you may see some of them around the place. Simple facilities for campsite guests include hot showers and washing-up sinks.

What customers say

This quiet, green campsite has big, flat pitches, many in a nice orchard. People rave about the great food and friendly staff at the pub. Facilities are clean and work, though some say they're basic and could use a spruce-up, with occasional comments on shower temp and pressure. Easy to reach local spots like Westonbirt Arboretum is a plus.

Liked Great campsite, level pitch and really quiet.
Ate in the pub, we were running late so phoned our order through before the kitchen closed, they couldn’t have been more helpful.
Plus, we had breakfast in the pub. Fabulous bacon and sausage rolls and a huge pot of coffee.

Elouise R.

Orchard non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked The whole site was clean and tidy, the orchard was lovely to stay in. The pitches were perfect size. All staff were friendly and welcoming and if we had any issues or questions they were there to help out. The seating area and fire pit was comfy and great to use. Very affordable too! The toilets and showers were clean and always stocked up with hand towels and toilet paper. Showers were hot too!

Disliked The shower areas could do with updating but they worked well! If the toilet locks had “occupied” and “vacant” it would have been more convenient.

Local attractions

If you're not here to attend big-name gig, haste ye along to Westonbirt, The National Arboretum (five minutes' drive) anyway, as this award-winning Forestry England woodland is host to all manner of events, guided walks among 15,000 specimen trees and a challenging treetop walkway. The other famous attraction close to Tetbury Camping is Highgrove House (also five minutes), where you can take guided tours of the formal gardens and enjoy champagne teas. Historic and mellow-stone market towns like Tetbury (10 minutes) and Malmesbury (15 minutes) are also nearby, ideal for a couple of hours browsing in indie boutiques and antique shops. Slightly further afield, elegant Cheltenham (45 minutes) is home to a well-known racecourse and all manner of Regency buildings including the Pittville Pump Rooms. Prefer to explore on foot or on two wheels? Take your choice from thousands of miles' worth of footpaths and bridleways in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – follow the 102-mile Cotswold Way walking trail between Bath (35 minutes) and Chipping Campden, or take shorter hops like the five-mile Shakespeare’s Way near Chipping Norton (both an hour), taking in ancient standing stones and burial chambers.
