Single Axle Caravan - Large Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricOct 2022

Lucy was most helpful in getting us installed, as the last caravan of her season, to the extent of loaning us a cable because ours didn't quite reach. Facilities were well placed, well built, and well-tended. It was good to use the 'wet room' showers AND to have good quality floor scrapers to hand, as in all European sites. Friendly bods in and around the centre of "Minchi" and easy to wander there and beyond onto the splendid downs. One does need to be a bit cautious with the tight squeezes on a couple of stretches of the approach within Minchinhampton (even with an Eriba Pan).

Lovely location, nice site

Motorhome - Large Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricOct 2022

Lovely location. Approx 5 minute walk into the village centre (pubs, tea shops, pharmacy, small Premier store). Good flattish walking available from the site itself in and around the Common and further afield. Dogs welcome. Very easy for a weekend. Slightly sloping ground so bring chocks. Adult only.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay, quiet and perfect to base yourself and travel around. Facilities were great! Clean, hot water and lots of space. Gorgeous donkeys in the field next to site. Lucy is a great host, so helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this site.

The site is on the edge of a beautiful village with 2 pubs and a shop within easy walking distance. There is also easy access to 'the Park' - a large common with great views over Stroud and the surrounding countryside.

Stayed extra nights at Tobacconist Farm because we enjoyed it so much. Lucy is the best host; always ready with helpful info and a welcoming word; thoughtful touches such as plastic gloves and wet wipes by the black waste disposal, washing machine and drying area and free fire pits. Lovely, relaxed site with large pitches, spotless facilities with lashings of hot water, a supply of doggie bags at the dog walk. The location is perfect as others have said. Quiet, starry skies yet only a short walk to the lovely village and the huge expense of common to ramble. As a final recommendation, Lucy has the sweetest and largest 'puppy' I've ever seen, plus three adorable donkeys. Who doesn't love donkeys?!

The site was very friendly

Trailer Tent - Large Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricSep 2022

The campsite was great and we had great evenings sitting around the fire pit. The showers and toilets were great and there was a plentifull supply of hot water any time of the day. We found the location of the site great and allowed us to visit various attractions within the hour, and Lucy was very helpful and pleased to help and give advice on local facilities.

Lucy is lovely

Single Axle Caravan - Large Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricSep 2022

Second time we have visited. Got the pitch we requested. Mains electric and running water on each pitch. Toilets were immaculate and clean. 5 minutes walk to shop, chip shop, and a couple of minutes more to Minchinhampton Common. We shall be returning again in 2023. No light pollution to speak of, so was able to do some astrophotography!

Easy and comfortable stay

Clean, easy and Lucy seemed to be really quick to help if needed. Will use again if over that way and recommend to friends. Liked it so much I came back the following week for another 2 nights!

Super weekend break

The vans parked on the way in were a bit of an eyesore but the site itself was lovely. Clean and close to the beautiful town and common grounds of Minchinhampton.

Large Tent - Large Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricSep 2022

Really pleased to have found this place. Lucy has provided a very well-equipped and well-considered site. It's in a lovely location an easy walk from Minchinhampton itself, and we had loads of space on good ground. The (heated) kitchen area had a drying rack, which meant we could dry our towels, and the washing machine is free to use (almost unheard of!). The communal fridge freezer was a bonus and there was limitless hot water for showering and washing up. I found the dog exercise area really useful; not only is it safe (the chief consideration), but it's got a proper waste bin and poo bags provided. Just the job for the early-morning leg-stretch! Will's logs plus kindling were good value for money, and meant we could enjoy camp fires in the fire pits provided on both nights of our stay. I'd be pleased to stay here again.

Our second visit

This is our second stay this year. All as before. Very clean facilities. Very quiet, peaceful site. Convenient to village and a 400 acre common. Hopefully we will be visiting again next year.

Lovely site

This site is set in a quiet Cotswold village. The facilities are in good condition and kept very clean. The pitches have plenty of space and are set in green fields. There are local country walks that includes onto the common and bike rides on quiet lanes, byways and bridle ways. Lucy was good at communicating with us prior to arrival and friendly when we arrived. I would recommend staying here.

Awesome campsite

Small Tent - Large Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricAug 2022

A lovely quiet site with clean facilities. Lucy was helpful in showing us to our pitch. Good to be walking distance to the small town and the large common. The pub was a bit disappointing -overpriced for the food provided but not out of line with other local eateries. Location good for local towns/places of interest.

Medium Tent - Paddock Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2022

We had a lovely 3 nights at this campsite over the bank holiday weekend. Lucy greeted us on arrival and showed us to our pitch and also gave us a helpful information sheet about the area. We had booked a pitch without electric hookup, so were in the smaller field which only took 6 tents. We had lots of room and it was very peaceful. Toilets and showers were clean and spacious and the kitchen area also had a helpful fridge freezer which meant we could refreeze our ice blocks. Fire pits could be hired and some people around us did take advantage of that option. The area is lovely. We really enjoyed the coffee shop in the village. We definitely want to return.

Fantastic - will definitely visit again

We absolutely loved our stay at Tobacconist Farm! Lucy is brilliant - she made us feel at home and was very helpful and fun. She helped us get a taxi when we couldnt find one, which saved us and gave us some great recommendations. Her son Will was great as well - helped us with our EHU and arranged firewood for us. We had 2 pitches next to each other which was perfect for our giant 6 man tent, campervan and another tent, still with loads of room for our bbq, bonfire and an eating area. Facilities were great - just what you need. The site was lovely and quiet with no children and we could play our lawn games and spread out nicely without impacting anyone else. The donkeys were cute too. Would definitely come again with my family (all adults).

Lovely first camping experience

Backpacker Tent - Paddock Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2022

We stayed two nights on Tobacconist farm. We needed a place to stay as we were going to Gifford's Circus in Minchinhampton. So pleased to have found this wonderful site. It was spot on in every way, will definitely go back again. Lucy, who owns the site is a real character bombing around on her quad bike, she manages the site really well. I inadvertently booked in the backpacker area but she happily was able to change us to the main site with water and electrics. The site is well placed to walk into the village for a good shop and a friendly pub. There are also buses for Stroud and Tetbury. I would highly recommend this site to anyone who wants a quiet site with good facilities and access to walks and excursions to pretty Gloucestershire towns.

Great owners
