Reviewer: Sturmi 1 review from this member

 Lovely campsite extremely clean and covid aware which puts your mind at rest.

Small village of minchanpton just a 10 min stroll through some lovely Cotswold lanes.

The Crown Pub well worth a visit especially if you are a gin & tonic van.

Showers & toilets on camp clean wit plenty of hot water.

Well worth a visit and will definitely be going back.

Reviewer: Gemma3 1 review from this member

 My partner and I loved staying at the Tobacconist Farm. We stayed in a tent with an electric hookup for 6 nights.

Lucy was really friendly and helpful. She even let us leave the site late on our last day!

The location is quiet and peaceful, and within driving distance to the main tourist destinations in the Cotswolds.

We would definitely recommend!

 Fabulous campsite, well spaced pitches on beautiful grass fields. Spotless facilities, great hot showers in heated shower rooms.

Lovely welcome from Lucy who gave us all the information we could need.

Lots of good walking in the area and a super local pub 'The Crown Inn' 5 mins walk into the village.

Reviewer: Gmboot 1 review from this member

 Visited as a young couple in a small tent. Very peaceful, quiet area but close to enough to everything you’d want to see.

Facilities are fantastic. Plenty of showers with very hot water at all times. Kitchen has a fridge/freezer for communal use. Entire block has underfloor heating and Lucy made sure to turn this up on the coldest day. Plenty of free fire pits available for guest use and Lucy wanders around in the evening to provide logs and check in.

Lucy is an amazing host, always around to answer questions and provide recommendations.

The campsite is very COVID safe. Lucy has halved her capacity to ensure social distancing (absolutely loads of room per pitch). She greeted us masked and checked our temperature upon arrival.

Will definitely be returning!

Reviewer: LynWebb 1 review from this member

 This is a lovely peaceful place. Lucy the owner was great from start to finish. She brings logs around in the evening for the fire pits and makes sure that everyone is happy.

It’s small but the pitches are spacious. We had two tents and a small camper van and our pitch was lovely. On our second night, a couple our large vans had parked close to us when Lucy was out.

Apparently they should’ve been somewhere else and Lucy was so apologetic. She also gave us free wood and a discount - other hosts could take a few lessons from Lucy.

This is a real gem and we’ll be back!

Reviewer: Gott 11 reviews from this member

 We arrived on a Monday and had the site virtually to ourselves until Friday, then it filled up with families and groups mostly in tents. It was still spacious and uncrowded despite it being fully booked. The WC/Showers coped well and Lucy with her team kept on top of the cleanliness.

All cars are parked in one area which does make the site safer for the little ones who looked to enjoy the small play area and open spaces.

On Sunday peace and quiet was restored :-)

Lucy, the owner, is passionate about her site and just wants everyone to enjoy their stay there. She is a character who made us feel very welcome.

The area is lovely and the Common with its herds of cows roaming around is nice. Currently no pubs open in the village but this should change in August. All this in easy walking distance.

Reviewer: Run Lola run 12 reviews from this member

 Mid week stay was very peaceful, lovely views and good sized pitches separated by grassed mounds, fruit trees are dotted around, surrounded by farm animals and wild life, run by lovely people and no silly extra charges for use of facilities.

My dog loved the dog walking field, by far the best we have ever seen at any campsite, enough space for our whippet to sprint, mown grass around the edges with long grass and lots of trees down the middle made it interesting for her to sniff around, the fence surrounding the dog walking field is secure and escape proof, bags are provided in a dispenser by the gate and also a bin to deposit the bag.

I wish more sites put this much effort into making dogs welcome.

Reviewer: Walders 1 review from this member

 A really lovely and well equipped campsite on the common in stroud at Minchinhampton. Lucy the proprietor was great, lots of good info, she supplied wood and kindling for the firebowl too.

There was Gifford's circus on at the time we where there on the common, which is unmissable. Lots of cycling and walking at the disused railway line and canal tow path. Lots of youngsters for our young'un to play with too. Highly recommended

Reviewer: MrsDod 3 reviews from this member

 This camp is in The Cotswolds in a lovely rural location. The facilities are great. It has a lovely clean shower block providing nice warm showers and really clean toilets also. Their is a clean and pleasant washing up area and a fridge/freezer for the campsite providing space for a few items that need to be kept cold.

There is an on site play park for small children and donkeys in the field to the side. It was a very nice campsite and I can not fault it at all. Really nice and we especially appreciated the lovely clean facilities and friendly welcome. Probably the best site facilities we have come across. We recommend this site.

Reviewer: Glreeves 1 review from this member

 This is our second time to this lovely site and it's one of our favourites. There was an initial problem with our booking but Lucy went above and beyond to remedy the situation for which we're very grateful.

The site is in a good location for towing a caravan, and the site is all grass but with nice secluded bays. Toilets and showers are fine, though some campers are not always respectful in leaving the areas clean! Probably space for around 25 units overall but you don't feel cramped.

We look forward to returning!

Reviewer: Susana53 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely owner, very helpful. Although there were 2 fairly large groups staying, it was not noisy as we were at the top end. Short walk to the local village shops, although not a great selection. Pub and chip shop closed down which was a bit of a let down and butcher quite pricey.

Campsite website said they had their own shop but there wasn't one. Facilities good, but if it's full, I would imagine its a bit of a wait for the loos.

Would go again, but would be more prepared with food stuff.

Reviewer: Eckythump 12 reviews from this member

 A lovely campsite and very friendly owners. Although it is on a slope it is possible to pitch on the flat. The toilet/shower block was always clean and plenty of hot water. There were 2 areas for washing up. One in a kitchen with a washing machine and fridge/freezer and a couple of outdoor sinks. Again everything was clean.

The village is a 5 minute walk from the site with a Spar (type of mini supermarket), Boots, fish and chip shop, pubs and a mobile pizza van arrived one night when we were there.

The roads through the village are very narrow so I would advise following the instructions for how to get to the campsite.

A great base to explore the area.

 Just returned from a lovely bank holiday break at Tobacconist Farm. This site is a lovely rural family run site that has the right combination of camping comforts to keep me happy along with us able to have a fire pit and enjoy big roomy pitches you get with more 'back to basics sites'

We arrived in the evening and we were welcomed warmly by Lucy the owner who showed us to our pitch and helped us hook up our EHU.

The facilities are great - lovely warm and very clean showers and loos - the showers are set up like little bathrooms which is great as you don't have to keep moving to shower, then do your teeth etc. The fridge freezer is big and there is also a washer kettle and leccy points if you need them in the kitchen. Great washup areas, 2 outside and one in the kitchen itself. Firepits are available to use and every eveing someone comes down to sell you logs - £5 a bag which lasted us 2 nights.

The site has a policy of no cars on the grass camping field - which is no bother as the car park area is the field before the camping field on site. This means a lovely spacious field for us all to enjoy and my son and other campers children had great fun playing out all day.

You can walk easily into the picturesque village of Minchinhampton which has a well stocked local shop, which is open 6. 30am -7pm, a chemist, post office and a couple of daytime tea rooms. Only downside was the lack of a pub in the village - its still being re-furbished

We also ate one evening and a Sunday Lunch at the Weighbridge Inn - we can't recommend it highly enough. You could walk down the hill to the Weighbridge and then have a good workout walking back afterwards!

The town of Nailsworth is about 1. 5 miles away and has a Morrisons and other shops and restaurants. We also visited Stroud which is a fantastic town - we were there for the Fringe Festival.

So all in all - a lovely rural site which I will be returning to and recommending to my friends.

 Small friendly campsite on working farm with large pitches, fires in firebowls and excellent, clean toilet/shower block with plenty of hot water and disabled facilities.

Includes indoor dishwash area with kettle, phone charging sockets, fridge/freezer and washing machine plus outdoor rotary clothes dryer. Small play area for little ones.

Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and a short backstreet walk into town centre with shop, cafes, post office, chemists, chip shop, bus service etc.

Short stroll onto Minchinhampton Common for walking/golf/views.

While daytime food has several options, when we went, the pub in Minchinhampton was shut (for refurbishment???) and there wasn't an obvious option in the evening. There is a fine dining pub, The Ragged Cot Inn, that's walkable and there's the Black Horse in Amberley, an excellent pub with good food and beer and great views, is about a 30 minute walk through Minchinhampton and across the common. Lots of decent places to eat in the surrounding area if you're willing to take a short drive.

Munchinhamptons, a cafe opposite the chip shop, is excellent value and does great food. It's about a 10-minute stroll from the campsite. Really great cooked breakfast (£6. 95) plus a lunch menu that includes many vegetarian dishes and gluten free options mostly under a tenner.
