 Just come back from a very chilly weekend with mixed weather. Despite the forecast we wanted to try out our new tent.
Pros
Very helpful wardens - despite some comments they a are very nice couple. Don't expect big smiles at first, but you can expect a lot of help if you need it.
Clean facilities and plenty of hot water
Very well drained and good pitch size
Great walks with a good path in to Bourton (so you can have a beer and get home safely) takes about 20mins
Cons
Pitch could have been rolled - bit lumpy
New planting not fully established - we were a bit early in the season too. Give it another year to fully take.
It is a bit expensive
Watch out
There is distant traffic noise - not really disturbing but it is there.
Long distance between electric points (not that we used them).
Recycling facilities are good - but be prepared to take some of your own refuse home.
Info
Not much shopping in Bourton, but very pretty. I preferred Stow. 5 min drive, tescos and the most amazing butcher (just don't worry about the cost). Many of the pubs in the area did not seem dog friendly.
We would go back.

We are both female in our 40's on only our second camping experience. We headed to Bourton on the Water from Surrey and found the journey to be very easy until we arrived at the Sat Nav location. It took us to the Farm rather than the Campsite. Not a problem though as it was literally the next gate along.
The dirt road alongside a field took us to the site where a Notice Board gave us our Pitch position. All the pitches were marked out well and extremely large. We had a 4 man tent and managed to also get two cars on our pitch. (No. 46)
There is an electricity supply for all pitches. We didn't need it so, as we hade paid full price on the internet, the couple looking after the site offered to refund the difference.
The site offers excellent pitches, ours was level and appeared to have good drainage. There is plenty of space around each pitch too. There is a water supply to at least every thid pitch, so very easy access for all.
The site is split into 4 section by use of 8-10 foot high Elephant Grass. This provides a good barrier from both other campers and the weather. There are small walkways between to enable you to cut through to the toilet block. This is easy in the daylight but not so easy in the dead of night. A headtorch resolves this issue though.
The camp has a more than adequate shower block with fantastic water pressure and plenty of hot water. There is also a kitchenette with two sinks, fridge freezer and washing machine. The owners also offer fresh eggs with an honesty box system.
We found the location perfect with easy drives to many Cotswold villages. In the five days we were there we visited, Burford, Bibury, Gretton, Cirencester, Aldsworth, Winchcombe, Sudely Castle, Belas Knap, Stow on the Wold and Moreton in Marsh and even got to Stratford Upon Avon to see Twelfth Night at the RSC Theatre. Oh and of course Bourton on the Water itself which is a mile or so from the site.
We couldn't have picked a better location for getting out and about.

We paid £40 for two adults for two nights. It was the most expensive of all the sites we stayed at during this tour.
This is the first of our stops on our two week trek and on entering the site via a long track were impressed to spot a notice board with a site map and a note as to which pitch we had been allocated.
Possibly not the best pitch for a tent as it sloped quite badly - but still as the site wasn't too busy we perhaps could have asked for a different spot.
The field was divided into clearly numbered pitches with hedges marking the pitch boundaries. We loved the little paths and walk ways between the tall grasses and it made a more interesting route to the shower/toilet blocks. Although at night the is trek was a bit scary and perhaps a couple of solar lamps along the pathways would have changed the whole feel of the site to something quite magical.
The facilities were excellent. Heated shower rooms (what luxury) and even a (free) hairdryer available. Just around the corner was the washing up room - two generous sinks, a huge frige freezer, washing machine (small charge) and dryer (small charge) and included ironing board and iron.
The site itself was very quiet, and restful.
The only place we visited was Chedworth Roman Villa - which is only a short hop down the A429 - (ignore the sat nav instructions which takes you down many many winding teeny weeny country roads).
We were allowed a small bbq (off the ground) and it stayed dry for long enough to cook our supper.
Overall though whilst it was a nice quiet site we thought the premium paid for the bonus of being an adult only site probably put a lot of people off.

We were greeted by John and Carole the wardens at the time, who were very friendly and helpful. The pitches are generous in size but I would say you would need wedges under the wheels on most of them by the look of the sloping field as we did up at the top of the field which was also very windy but peaceful with no road noise or lights at night. I can appreciate what the owner is trying to do with the wild strips of grass at the back of the pitches but I must say if you get hayfever this is probably not the best site to go to as our eyes were streaming and itchy and it wasn't even a dry spell !
Lovely area with lots to see and do. There is a Tesco on the main road through to Stow and next to Tesco there is a council car park with plenty of room for motorhomes and its FREE! Just about 4/5 minutes walk and you are in Stow which is a nice little town with loads of individual shops. There is also a Co Op on the outskirts of Bourton with plenty of parking space. Huge car park in Bourton itself too, no problem getting parked with the motorhome.
There are quite a few National Trust properties around the area, though if you go to Hidcote don't let them park you under the trees as we were told to do and we lost our aerial which got hooked up in the branches!; Sudeley Castle is worth a visit especially with the roses being so nice at the moment and Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park with the rare breeds is nice to visit and try their pork sausages which are very, very nice!
If you run out of gas as we did, there is a place on the Bourton industrial estate which sells it even open Sat am. All in all a very handy site and besides the hayfever we enjoyed our stay.

Remember the Boat Pageant on the Thames in June? Remember the rain?
Well despite this the campsite didn't get water logged. There were a few large puddles in some pot holes near the toilet block but that was sorted out very quickly and we had no more problems for the rest of our stay.
When we visited again in August we had lovely weather - very quiet, massive pitches. We were always made very welcome and we were able to choose the pitch we wanted to stay on when we arrived.
The amenities area is always kept very clean. Two showers is ample for this relatively small site. We didn;t have to queue at all.
Fresh laid eggs can be bought individually - brilliant if you don't want 6 eggs and the farm vacume packs meat which can be purchased from the hut near the wardens caravan.
The site is situated centrally for numerous tourist attractions and there are some some beautiful walks in the area.
Bourton on the water is a beautiful village which gets very full of tourists. Arrive early if you want a parking place. We had some lovely meals in the restaurants next to the river.
We loved it so much we are planning to return for a 3rd time next summer.

Really loved this place and the owners who were camping on site were lovely
It's a well kept site, with extremely large pitches, with different areas divided up by long grass and bushes. *less good for hayfever sufferers!* There was a tap for every two pitches - luxury!
The shower block is heated, which was fantastic. So nice at night time! They were clean and this was helped by leaving a mop so that you could tidy up any long grass that made it onto the shower floors. Plenty of hooks on the back of the doors of the three showers. Free hot water, good pressure, no complaints. They did get a little bit busy in the mornings, with a queue forming as I left. Could do with a few more basins so people could get out of the showers to finish off what they needed to do :)
There was a washing up room with a couple of sinks, a washing machine and a fridge (not sure what the latter was for) and a basket of eggs with an honesty box (25p each) We took a couple, they made excellent egg sarnies
Very quiet at night - though there is a little bit of distant traffic noise, depending on the way the wind blows. The first night was absolutely silent. Second night we could hear a little bit, but it was so infrequent and far off it did not disturb.
Easy walk into Bourton - but uphill on the way back was a bit harder! Nothing else in walking distance though. Recycling facilities on site, but no rubbish bins - take some bin liners!
Would definitely come back here :)

A warm welcome on arrival. Quite a basic campsite, but showers clean and hot, useful kitchen area with washing machine, dryer, fridge freezer. Pitches are of a good size and we had no problems with electric hook up or recycling policy.
Site is quite exposed so make sure you have an extra layer for evening/night time - we were a bit chilly!
Maybe a bit expensive for what you get in terms of amenities, but a peaceful site with lovely walks nearby.

Just spent a week at this site, specifically chose it because it was adult only and had a separate field for the dogs. Its an open site, hardly any privacy, just grass left to grow tall in places and has one toilet/shower block which I can't comment on as we did not use it.
The pitches are very generous and we didn't feel hemmed in. It is a very quiet site and I did not notice any traffic noise. There is no site wifi.
I read other reviews which mentioned taking long electric cables and thought we'd be okay but got caught out. I assumed ours was a standard length cable and was a bit annoyed but the warden was very helpful and found us an extension cable straight away. I think it is unacceptable to have to take longer cables - the distance to our nearest hook up was two pitches down. We had to trample on someone else's pitch to lay the cable behind their caravan and got soaked in the process as the undergrowth next to the hedge had not been cut down.
The dog field was full of waist-high maize and the field next to this although wasn't full of maize was too close to a busy road to risk letting my dogs run loose on it. The dogs had a great time bouncing like kangaroos but it was very wet and I had to kit myself out in head-to-toe waterproofs just to exercise them.
We walked into Bourton via the road (as opposed to the footpaths across fields), which took us approx 25 mins. Other reviewers have mentioned wearing high viz jackets but the road is a quiet back road and we saw hardly any traffic. Bourton is a very charming, picturesque little village and definitely worth the walk.
Other nearby towns worth a mention are Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh, both about a 15-min trip by car.
Oxford is an hour journey by car. We used the Redbridge park and ride (OX1 4XG), which cost us £4. 50 return for two adults and two dogs. The bus ride was ten mins into the centre.
The nearest bus stop is in Bourton, the warden on site has a timetable.
At £25 per night for 2 adults and two dogs we felt this was a little high considering its just a large field with a shower block.

Just returned from the jubilee weekend at this site and we will definitely be back. Very basic site but with excellent toilets and showers.
Only a small building but very clean and the showers are lovely and warm. There is also a washing machine and a tumble drier, handy for drying towels etc as the weather was so wet and a fridge and freezer for all to use.
The pitches are very large and each one is cut into the long grass. Some of the electric boxes are a long way from the pitch so you may need a long hook up lead and an extension lead.
The wardens John and Carole are very nice and helpful, coming round every day to make sure all is ok or just for a chat. But the best thing about this site is the peace and quiet with no kids about.
Bit of a bumpy ride along the drive over the field but well worth it. Also you can buy fresh steaks and burgers and I must say the steaks are gorgeous.
There are also fresh farm eggs to buy every day. It is a nice walk down the hill into bourton but a bit steep coming back up again. Also plenty of places to visit nearby. We will definitely be back.

Visited this site during a wet week in June. The site is quite remote and we left early due to the poor weather.
Showers toilets etc very clean and modern, but only 1 block for the whole field and quite a trek if on far side of site and needing to go in middle of night or in rain.
Access road to the camping field is not great with potholes on the narrow track.
Car is essential here as nowhere really to visit within walking distance, Bourton on the Water is a good trek away through muddy fields and all uphill on way back.
Waste recycling policy is good, but is only available for cans, bottles, paper and plastic, all other waste must be taken away with you at the end of your stay.
Disappointed with the site in view of the high charges for staying there and will not be visiting again.

Here again love this site. Very quiet very clean and we are lucky to be here for the jubilee weekend. Showers are excellent toilets are clean, doing our bit for the environment on the rubbish is no hassle. Pitches are large with hook ups not to far, but if you can bring an extra hook up lead just in case your plug could be over 25 meters away. Martin and his family have worked hard on the layout and the up keep on this site and it shows it well done to you. This is our second holiday here and it's great! AND the walk to bourton on the water is 20minutes there 30 back. There is a foot path to go across fields follow the yellow arrows! And the gate is at the bottom of the drive on the right as you walk down bring some good walking shoes as you are in fields with long grass and some farm stock. When you get to bourton on the water you will see it's worth walking! Plenty of pubs and gift shops and food! Make sure you have a few extra pints for the walk home, makes it more fun!

Visited this site over the Easter bank holiday, £25 per night with EHU, I thought this was a bit over priced. Shower/toilet block clean and showers lovely and hot and that is all on this site, there are no shops or pubs within walking distance in the evening. If you're in a motorhome and don't wish to move then the site is a bit of a trek away from Bourton, unless you want to risk the walk down the road which is just over a mile (no footpath) We did the walk into Bourton over the fields via the public footpath, but not suitable after dark. There are quite a few walks in the area so if you are into walking there are some lovely small villages to visit via the pathways. If you want peace and quiet this site is for you, there was not a sound after 10 o'clock and no lights to be seen!

Hi, This is Martin, the owner of the site. I have been worried for a while that the showers have not been up to pressure on some occasions. I have spent a lot of time trying to correct this and have completed the following. The heating engineer discovered that one of the pressure valves on the second boiler was faulty thus restricting the water flow, replaced with a new one. I have put in a second pressure vessel giving over 1500 litres of on-demand water and upgraded the supply line to 32mm pipe, all 900 metres of it.
On rubbish! The amount of waste from the site is huge and one of my 'things' is that as much as possible is re-cycled; all I ask is that visitors divide up the basics which I take away for you, and that things like broken chairs and tents, etc, you take to the council tip which are free. The alternative is Biffa bins with smells and wasps.
Wishing you all well in 2012.

Spacious site divided into 4 fields by long bamboo-grass. A bit exposed as it's on the top of a hill.
It's about 20 minutes walk down into Bourton-on-the-water, but, be warned: it's about 30 minutes back up the steep hill. If going in the evening, I advise taking a torch and hi-viz jacket as it's very dark coming back up.
Only on toilet block but not so much of a hike as it first seemed. Friendly owners and staff on site directed us to the pitch, but if they're not around then there's a list at the entrance.
The site is a bit basic for the price (£25/night with EHU on a bank holiday). My biggest gripe was the 100% recycling policy meaning you have to sort everything into different waste bags. Too much sorting and just won't take some stuff, so if you break a tent pole you have to take it home with you for disposal.
Nice and quiet at night - only quiet voices heard after 10:30pm, but some road noise was heard from the distant A429.

This is the third time at this site. I requested a particular pitch, but Henrietta recommended a different pitch 'As it gets the sun in the evening' We were not disappointed.
It was nice to see that the planting is now well established, giving each pitch a degree of privacy.
If you prefer a quiet site this is for you. Only facilities are the shower/ loo block/ washing up area & use of fridge/ freezer, but adequate for our needs.
We had a warm welcome from the owners and was loaned a extension cable as our electric hook cable didn't quite reach the box.
The only blip - when all the showers were being used, the water pressure eased off.
Nice walk into Bourton on the Water, always busy, but plenty to see & do.
Found a nice cafe for a cream tea off the main high street, with reasonable prices.
Ideal place to unwind for the weekend. Definitely recommend it.
