Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, you will be surrounded by scenic walking routes, charming country pubs and beautiful farmland.

These all welcome up to six guests in a vehicle free camping field. 22 of the pitches measure 9m x 9m but there are three even larger pitches that measure 9m x 14m and have their own picnic bench and BBQ area- perfect for dinner al fresco. Two handcrafted tipis also make for a great glamping getaway, each in an enclosed willow garden. The traditional tipis are built with 20-foot poles creating a spacious inside fitted with a double bed and camp beds with sheets, tableware, cooking utensils, fairy lights, a battery-powered lantern, blankets and wicker chairs for enjoying your morning coffee. Perfect for a cosy night's sleep, the site has two fully insulated yurts, each lined with British sheep wool. The boutique yurts are fully furnished, each coming with a double bed and camp beds with sheets, a wood-burning stove, tableware, cooking utensils, fairy lights, a lantern, wicker chairs and blankets. The pods, tipis and yurts all sleep up to five guests. Outside each unit, you will also find a firepit with a grill, a box of logs and outdoor seating, perfect for al fresco dining. Six 4m x 4m, insulated camping pods also offer a great alternative to camping.

A note from the site themselves...

My name is Kim and along with my wonderful husband Angus and my three children, India, Bunty, and Fergus, have built this campsite. Angus' family have run the farm for generations, so the land here is very precious to us.

Together we had the idea to rewild our lovely little field and wanted to share our wonderful part of the Cotswolds so we decided to set up our campsite. We aim for our site to be welcoming, comfortable, and as nature-filled as possible, with the aim of providing guests with peace and relaxation and have worked hard to achieve this as our end goal.

Our vision is of an airy woodland filled with silver birch trees, natural hedgerows, and even some little hiding holes for visiting hedgehogs - come and see what you can spot! The site started in 2019 and so we are still finding our feet (bear with us!) but it'll soon grow into a beautiful haven for nature and a great place to escape!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesApr 2025

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Wildings Campsite near Bourton-on-the-Water with my partner, and it was a truly delightful experience. The campsite offers a serene and welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat for couples and families alike.​ The facilities are well-maintained, with ample showers and toilets, ensuring a comfortable experience for all guests. The location is superb, just a short trip from Bourton-on-the-Water, an idyllic village with plenty of shops, eateries, pubs, and a charming river running through it. The proximity to the village allows for easy exploration of local attractions and dining options.​ The staff and owners are exceptionally welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with any needs or provide local recommendations. Their warm hospitality adds a personal touch that makes the stay even more enjoyable.​ The coffee at their little shop is excellent!

Really enjoyed our stay, the staff are all very friendly. The pod and all amenities, were extremely well looked after. I came with young children, who had an excellent and exciting stay.

Lovely site, but not the best for peace and quiet

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesSep 2024

We enjoyed our stay here over the weekend. Staff were amazing. Shout out to the well stocked farm shop and super useful wheelbarrows. This is a clean and lovely campsite in terms of facilities and setup. Unfortunately, we were placed in a terrible spot, sandwiched in between the car park and a bell tent full of loud drunks, so the noise levels were really bad. I think campsite staff have done their best to put signs everywhere regarding curfews and respecting other guests, but there was noisy people and music until late over both nights. So if you want peace and quiet, maybe not the place for you.
