  • Countryside setting in the Cotswolds, with pubs close by
  • Easy access to Stratford, Leamington Spa, Oxford and Banbury
  • Back-to-nature site with plenty of room and surrounded by woodland
For a wild countryside setting in the middle of Shakespeare country… escape to Edgehill Country Park, a basic site set up for guests to stay in a natural setting and wildlife haven. It's near the Edge Hill escarpment, where the first major battle of the English Civil War took place, right on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and surrounded by miles of Warwickshire countryside. Among open fields and next to a mature woodland, plenty of wildlife spotting is around this relaxed back-to-nature site, which has loads of room for kids (and grownups) to wear themselves out. The site has been kept deliberately basic to be as natural as possible, but has an amenities block with toilets, one shower and a washing-up area. Pitches here are pretty spacious at an average of 8 x 9 metres; guests will need to make sure their vehicle and all kit fits within their allocated space. Handily, four local pubs that serve food are within walking distance – two via roads and two across fields. There's also a small village five minutes' drive away for shops, a butcher, more pubs and a takeaway.

What customers say

A quiet, well-kept spot in a beautiful Cotswolds setting, lauded for generous pitches & easy access to sights. Facilities are simple but mostly clean, with new showers coming. Some noted possible road noise & unclear arrival directions, with a few finding it untidy or facilities needing a spruce-up. Good value for no-frills camping.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful spot, great location for walking and relaxing. The grass was kept short where needed and the pitches were flat. Not very busy, two children who arrived our second night were so good and did not disturb us at all, even in the morning. Some people in a semi permanent caravan where playing music on their TV quite loud until gone midnight but we were awake so not a problem for us.

Disliked Reasonable toilets, sinks and showers all perfectly adequate but very dirty when we arrived and not cleaned at all for some reason over our 2 night stay. The bins in the toilets were not emptied and as you can't put toilet paper etc down the toilet....you can imagine. It looks like some people stay on a semi permanent basis so they leave all their own stuff in the washing up/laundry area and in the shower. There was some Dettol spray in one toilet so I cleaned up a little myself. Didn't meet any staff or owners over our stay and given the state of the facilities, I felt it was expensive.

Carol P.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Location was convenient.

Disliked There is no reception on arrival or clarity of where our pre-booked pitches were located. We just had to drive around and find a space. We had requested two pitches together so it was lucky there was plenty of space. There appears to be no point in making a special request as arrival and location seem to be totally random.
The “upgraded facilities” were very basic, eg toilet cubicles didn’t even have a washbasin - two washbasins were located on the outside wall under minimal cover.
The grass was long and didn’t look as if it had been mown for a while, with some plastic rubbish lying around.
An enormous building (which we understood was to be an activity centre) was being constructed in the middle of the site, totally ruining the rural appearance of the site. We didn’t appreciate the builders arriving before 9.00 am on the Sunday morning.
We had planned to walk to a nearby pub for our evening meals (2 nights) but the road was too dangerous with only a narrow grass verge to walk on so we had to drive which rather spoilt the two evenings we were there for the driver.

From the manager: We are, as you would expect, disappointed with our back to basics site.
As literature states- we are a back to basics site. That includes no set warden. We also state that we do not have marked pitches which enables you to choose your preferred spot. In the 3 acres we are currently only accepting 5 units which enables much choice. It also enables two reasonably sized areas of wild flower/grass. The building is on the edge of the area along the tree line. We are surrounded by footpaths two of which enable access to two local pubs. The Plough and The castle. The others are by road.

Quiet site…

Liked Quiet site

Disliked Facilities could have done with some TLC and cleaning.
Couldn’t get the gate code to work on entry and couldn’t get hold of contact! Had to jump over the gate and use the exit key pad to get in.

Liked Small, green, well kept, surrounded by trees, quiet, in pretty area near attractions.

Disliked No hard standing which for us in a wet October was challenging. Ok as stop over, but with kids prefer somewhere with a play area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are so pleased you like that we keep the site Green. It ensures we connect with nature. The result of this is that we have only 6 hard standings which were occupied when you came. The deliberate approach to our site is the natural back to basics aim. Which means the whole site is a play area for young and old. The WI-FI is not a service we offer as most people have their own roaming service and we have no control on these services. Do come back in the spring and enjoy are bluebell wood.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Nice quiet site, sheltered on all sides even on a windy weekend. Next to a road, people have mentioned road noise but it wasn’t very busy. Open field to choose pitches.

Disliked Shower was hot and clean but pretty basic - I believe these are imminently being upgraded.
No soap at hand basins.

Relaxed peaceful site with all the facilities needed.

Local attractions

Guests at Edgehill Country Park have loads of history to explore in the local area. Within 15 minutes' drive you could be in the lovely town of Stratford-upon-Avon, most famed as the birthplace of Shakespeare, but also home to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and several theatres and music venues. The castles of Warwick and Kenilworth are also both within easy reach, and over in Royal Leamington Spa, Jephson Gardens – home to a tearoom, a sensory garden and a botanical garden – is a splendid spot to tour on a sunny day, with the Royal Pump Rooms museum across the road being a pleasant place to wander around for an hour or so. Around here is also land where the British motor industry began (and continues today) – the British Motor Museum is seven miles away in Gaydon, while over in Coventry there's the Coventry Transport Museum, both showcasing the finest vehicular specimens of Britain's motoring history; well worth the visit if you're an ardent appreciator of a good chassis. For animal-based days, take the kids to see the 500-plus birds at Birdland Park and Gardens, or the peacocks and deer at Prinknash Bird Park. The world's biggest flocks of swans, ducks and geese can be witnessed over at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust reserve at Slimbridge, which also hosts events, talks and wildlife encounters throughout the year.
