A great site in a beautiful area. The facilities were kept very clean, there was a kitchen with fridge, freezer, microwave and kettle for campers use. There was also a laundry room and dish wash area with piping hot water. The toilet block was warm with a good number of showers and toilets. Yes the showers were push button but I prefer them, the cubicles were roomy with pull down seats and the water temperature was lovely and warm as well. The pitches were level and of a good size (approx 10 x10). The wardens were helpful and friendly, there was a pizza service with delivery to your pitch, croissants available to order in the mornings. There were children's ride on tractors on the site to borrow, a nice idea as its a farm site. I did the farm nature walk with my husband which was a decent distance across fields etc and we did encounter sheep and a few cows but they didn't bother us. You can pay once for entry into the farm park next to the site and have free entry for the remainder of your stay, we did and although it's on the expensive side, it was very good and enjoyable. There is also a cafe which served very good food and again although maybe not the cheapest it was really good quality. The lighting around the campsite is low level and means the night sky is visible. If we came to the Cotswolds for another holiday we would definitely consider returning to this site, it ticked all the boxes for us and we were very happy to stay here.

Fantastic level site with plenty of space and flat grass pitches. Nice size campsite- not too big and well maintained. We had pitch B09 which in my opinion was one of the best as we were on the edge and had full sun all day.
Great toilet block and shower facilities. Helpful staff and good supplies available- liked the freshly baked croissant in the morning to order and pizza delivery in the evening delivered to your pitch! We also really liked the toys and tractors for the kids to borrow- lovely touch. Fridge and freezers available for campers too which was great.
My only slight disappointment was the cost to get into the farm itself- it is expensive and we decided not to bother. It’s a good idea that as campers you can go back in with a day ticket during thre duration of your stay but if like us you’re only there for 2 nights there wouldn’t have been enough time to go back in anyway.
The kids loved the nature walks but might have been nice to have a little playground too.
Would definitely recommend the site!

One of the best campsites we have stayed on. Facilities clean and tidy. Staff friendly and approachable. Pitches level and and a good size 10x 10 metres approx. A windbreak is useful due to the position of the site. There is a wildlife walk from the site, about 3 miles long, really enjoyed it. Unfortunately pubs within walking distance are limited, probably only one, the Halfway House at Kineton, about 1-1/2 miles. Great campsite and will definitely return.

Good site, plenty of hard standing and grass pitches. Well kept toilets and showers. Washing machine and dryer, fridge freezer for campers use.
Early entry to farm park for campers so kids had access to play barn. Also the wardens took kids over to play barn in theevening for an hour a couple of nights. A good sized field for footy and playing in but no equipment outside the farm park.
Site looks new and pristine!
Lambing season so good to see newborns arriving!

Great stay for Halloween. The staff and the farm are excellent. Perfect pitch with services and the pizzas from the site office are excellent. Everything was immaculately clean and well maintained. Great for star watching as the light pollution is minimal. 3 brilliant days.
We will be back.

This is now an excellent large, commercial, campsite with a choice of full service hard standings, grass with electric and grass only pitches, all of reasonable size (they are bigger than some sites, but not huge). The facilities block is, like the rest of the site, new and HEATED. Only two complaints about the showers: they use those dreadful push-button taps, which always stop the water flow too quickly and there are no seats in the showers - some of us struggle to dry our toes while standing on one leg! The staff on the campsite and in the park were friendly and helpful.
I say 'commercial' because they have fallen in to the common trap of putting the pitches in straight rows, to get the maximum number in, so a busy site looks like town suburbs made of vans and tents. It would have been better if they had put the pitches round the edges, leaving a play area for children in the middle, instead of in the next field. I love the fact that there are almost no 'street' lights, so no light pollution and good views of the stars.
The site is ideal for those with young children who enjoy the animals on the park next door, and children/townies of all ages should absorb the excellent information about farming provided - too many do not know where the food in our shops comes from. The wildlife/conservation walk round the farm takes about an hour and is most enjoyable, with interesting information boards on the way round. The site is a good base for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds - don't miss the little villages round the back lanes.
In spite of the presence of a large number of toddlers, I was the only driver keeping my speed down. Some of the driving I saw was positively dangerous!

£15 per night for 2 adults and a tent, without electric. Good, level pitches and a fantastic, new wash block. Spotless and very warm. The site is still fairly exposed but the hedges are growing! A nice dark site if you get away from the entrance area.
You can buy Adam's Gloucester Old Spot bacon and sausages for breakfast from reception.
Rare breed Park next door something for children and adults alike. As a camper, a standard day ticket gives you a pass for the duration of your stay.
Two excellent nearby pubs, The Halfway and The Plough, both a short drive.
Great location for exploring the Cotswolds.

There's no WiFi connection, I was advised it was all installed and ready but hadn't been set up. This wasn't an issue for us, however if WiFi is essential (for whatever reason) then I would ring and confirm before booking. The site was fine, the toilets were a bit messy (not dirty) as other campers didn't bother cleaning up any of there own mess - spilled soap, dropped loo roll etc. Very popular with families due to the farm park - which was great!

This was our Second time camping as a family (2 adults and 2 under 5's) and this site came highly recommended by family. After our first camping trip in April we thought we would struggle to find a campsite with better facilities but somehow we managed it.
GOOD POINTS
The facilities on site could not be faulted, clean and tidy campsite with good shower/toilet block. Clearly a LOT of money has been spent on this campsite and the facilities are better than some leisure centres I’ve used.
A lovely flat campsite with large pitches so plenty of room to get our 7. 5x5m tent and car in the pitch.
The location was great with beautiful scenery and quick and easy access to the farm.
Added bonus of purchasing tickets to the farm for the duration of your stay for the price of a day ticket (Buy online in advance for even more discount)
All the staff on site were very helpful and really friendly.
The campsite shop has all the essentials you might have forgotten or run out of, albeit you pay for the convenience.
Onsite fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle all available in the kitchen area and washing machines also available (payable locally) in the washing up area.
Plenty of drinking water up stands dotted around the campsite.
Big play field to the rear of the site for the Kids to run around in.
The farm looks as though it has also seen some major investment in recent years either that or their maintenance department are underpaid. Good clean toilet blocks really well maintained playground apparatus even a small indoor soft play for when it’s raining. Kids loved the free ride on tractors, zip line, maze, feeding and holding the smaller animals and watching the farm demonstrations. Again though as with the farm shop unfortunately the on site cafes are capitalising on a captive audience when it comes to the pricing structures. Be prepared to pay upwards of £5 per head for a drink and a sandwich or sausage roll (It was a good sausage roll).
BAD POINTS
The washing area was a little small.
The play park is located inside the farm area which, whilst it was fantastic, unfortunately closes with the farm so there isn’t a lot to keep the children entertained in the early evening so bring a ball. (This is where they lost their star from my point of view)
Phone signal isn’t great on site or the farm, so if you are planning any days out away from the campsite and farm make sure you’re prepared before you go with postcodes and directions.
OVERALL
We would definitely recommend this campsite to young families.
WOULD LIKE TO SEE
A play park in the campsite area. Wouldn’t need to be massive. Just a couple of swings and a climbing frame.

Perfect campsite. Totally new toilet block, fantastic facilities. Park still being landscaped, but everything you need for a great stay. Plus the added attraction of the farm park. Wardens very friendly and helpful. Must try the Halfway pub!
