Tobacconist Farm Reviews

Bank Holiday Break

First time staying at this adult only site but won’t be the last. Lovely peaceful and picturesque location. Pitch was large so didn’t feel those by us were too close. Facilities were kept clean and as a result a pleasure to use. Kitchen has fridge freezer which proved handy when it got hotter. Received a warm welcome that continued throughout from owner Lucy who takes pride in ensuring those staying enjoy her campsite. Alan and Alice the campsite donkeys are a delight who come up to the fence to say hello. Minchinhampton was a 5 min stroll from the site - pub, boots, 2 coffee shops/cafes, premier convenience store, butchers post office, a great charity shop plus a few other little shops. Plenty of you don’t want to travel too far - if you do there is Stroud and Cirencester not to far away. Five valleys shopping centre is dog friendly and has a lot of variety in its food hall (parking £1 on a Sunday) Site has a lovely woodland walk for dogs which our dog loved. Great place to stay, great part of the UK to visit and explore.

Our favourite campsite

As soon as we arrive at the Tobacconist campsite, we relax. There are some amazing hilly dog walks from the campsite or you can get the bus to nailsworth or Stroud. Located in a village which has everything you need (butchers, a pub that does the best roast ever, a coffee shop, a grocery shop) which is a 10 mins max walk from the campsite. Lucy and her son are very welcoming and keep the campsite so clean. The campsite is basic but has everything you need. Showers and toilets are always so clean am the showers are always hot. Each year is great to see Alan and Alice the donkeys. Thank you for being our number 1 campsite, we will be back in the summer!

Great stay!

Great stay, location is unexpected on arrival but opens out into a lovely field and lots of space, host was great there was not a day we didn’t see her or exchange conversation, really cares about the site.

Lovely site

Love this site - lots of thoughtful touches, best camping bathroom facilities. It's in such a pretty area, short walk to the village center and a nice pub

Pleasant site with clean facilities

We had a pleasant stay. 10 minute walk to the local pub (food was ok but nothing special) or 40 minute walk to The Old Lodge in middle of the Minchinhampton common which was much better. Definitely recommend the walks over and around the common etc as recommended by the site owner. Cattlegrids everywhere but didn't see a single cow!. Two small improvements: more hooks in the shower rooms are always useful, displaying a map of the Common etc showing the recommended places on wall of the 'kitchen' would make it much easier for campers to find all the loevely places.

Incredible site

Incredible site, small village but everything you need, lots of lovely walks and host Lucy is fantastic nothing is too much trouble. Really quiet and amazing night sky, huge pitches. Fire pits to use and logs and coal for sale. Our fourth visit to our favourite site

Great, peaceful site

Very helpful owner, Lucy. I didn't need many of the facilities on offer, but was impressed with the kitchen area with washing machine, fridge freezer, local area info etc. Rotary washing line outside too. Clean, large shower rooms. Clean Elsan disposal. Dog walking area with poo bags there if needed. Very peaceful. Easy 5 min walk to village with shop, café, restaurants. Saw buses in the village, both times I was there, to Stroud and Tetbury. Couldn't fault it.

I enjoyed my stay at this site ,very quiet and peaceful ,Lucy was very welcoming..

I would stay here again peaceful, showers very good and clean .Good sized pitch ,with hook up and water .Very handy for Stroud ,I walked along the canal to my friends house ..No Dislikes

Highly recommended

Great quiet site if you want to get away, very clean with plenty of showers, toilets etc. Great location next to Minchinhampton and very friendly host. The site runs down hill so don't be like us and forget you wheel wedges if you're in a camper.

Perfect spot

Lucy was very welcoming, even gave a lone tent dweller a hot water bottle, as it was cold! Loved the friendly donkeys, Alan and Alice. Toilets, showers and other facilities spotlessly clean. Enjoyed that the site was adult only and the pitches were not too close together.

Cotswolds Delight

Large grass pitches and a really peaceful, adults-only setting. The site is full of thoughtful touches – gloves provided for emptying the chemical toilet, a washing machine and clothes horse, plus a well-equipped kitchen area with kettle, fridge and more. The site is kept spotless and toilets well stocked. The information rack on the local area is also really helpful. Lucy, the owner, couldn’t be more friendly or accommodating. It’s great value for money, dog-friendly, and an absolute gem of a base for exploring the Cotswolds. I’m a member of a well-known camping club and this site definitely gives them a run for their money.

Great site, great facilities, great location

Lovely Site, great location near Minchinhampton. Very good spotless facilities, suitable for any length of stay. What's not to like? Very friendly helpful owner. If towing a caravan the best approach is from A419 Cirencester Road, turning south at the The Ragged Cot onto Hampton Road towards Hampton Fields. Then second right turn onto Woefuldane Bottom. (Avoid first right single track road with impressive potholes!) Then right into Tobacconist Road, site entrance at corner. All other routes are narrow.

Great hidden campsite

Clean facilities with hot water and a warm washing up room. Large pitches, fire wood on site overall a great campsite.

Fantastic site

Had an amazing stay here, a 5 min walk into the village, where there was everything you would need, but in an old world style. Just loved Henry's cafe, and the Crown's food was amazing. The site was very well laid out with nature in mind, and the donkeys are adorable, a lovely patch of trees for walking your dog, and Lucy was so welcoming and friendly, had some great chats with her. Shower blocks and toilets were clean. There was a lady solo camper and she checked her every morning, that was such a lovely thing to do. We are missing it already. Will definitely be back.

Peaceful and clean

We were greeted by the host, she was kind and located us upon arrival. The placement was beautifully clean and I loved the small banks surrounding the lot for that extra touch of privacy. You can only get this on the electric side. The pitch was maintained to perfection. There are shower’s and toilet’s that are beautifully clean. I would definitely stay here again. The location is fantastic it’s surrounded by a quaint village with lots of cafes and a beautiful church. Definitely worth visiting. Close to all of the towns in the Cotswolds, perfect if you want to keep out of the tourist areas in the evenings for a peaceful reset.

Great, quiet little campsite

Lucy is great and so is the campsite. The bathrooms are very clean, the camping spots are very nice and not too crowded, I had my own little 'bay' between two grassy tummocks, which was lovely. Lucy gave me some good tips for camping in my van, which was very helpful! There are two friendly donkeys called Alan and Alice. The countryside around the campsite is gorgeous, as is the village. I loved my stay there.

Viewing Cotswold by bike and a 2 night stay

We had a wonderful stay at Tobacconist Farm Campsite and would highly recommend it. Lucy is both efficient and incredibly friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The campsite itself is lovely—clean, peaceful, and very well maintained. The toilets, shower facilities; with lots of hot water, and washing-up area are all spotless, which really made a difference to our stay. It was also a bonus to have access to a washing machine and clothes line. The location is great, with a charming little town nearby and a lovely pub to enjoy. We used the site as a base for cycling and found it perfect for exploring the surrounding area. A fantastic campsite with excellent facilities and a warm, welcoming host—we would definitely return!

Fantastic stay!

A lovely site with brilliant facilities. Short walk into Minchinhampton. Shop, butchers, couple of coffee shops, pharmacy, post office, pub and club. Will definitely be back!

Great stay

Perfect location with shops a couple of minutes walk away. We ate out at The Crown and had a lovely meal. Facilities clean and plenty of hot water. Highly recommend the campsite. Great place to meet up with friends and explore the area. Loads to do and see. Very friendly and excellent camping.

Site's response

Thank you.

A Real Find

A big thankyou to Lucy who made us feel very welcome. Her local knowledge really gave us some good pointers of where to spend our time. Spacious facilities, spotlessly clean. We will be returning.

Perfect

Easygoing, ideal location, spacious, peaceful, clean and tidy.

Great site

Clean and modern toilet and shower facilities with a kitchen and even a washing machine! Warm friendly welcome from Lucy, the manager. Short walk to the village centre and bus stop. Great campsite.

Minchinhampton

Was visiting relations so didn't need any local facilities.

Quiet and convenient

Stayed 2 nights to go to Giffords Circus nearby. Lucy was very welcoming, we had a choice of pitches with EHU. Toilet and shower block is well thought out and kept clean. A short walk into the village of Minchinhampton which has pub, cafe and shops, and The Common is nearby. Campsite was quiet at night.

Lovely stay at Tobacconist Farm

Had a lovely stay at Tobacconist Farm. Lucy was amazing and so helpful. The facilities were lovely and clean. Lots to do around the area and Lucy provided us with some information about the local walks and places to visit. Loved meeting the 2 donkeys - Alice and Alan - and also the not so small but amazingly friendly dog (Maddy). Thank you Lucy x
