Tobacconist Farm Reviews

Lovely peaceful campsite and good location

Great location, very relaxed and peaceful, pub close by and Lucy is very helpful and welcoming, would definitely return. Pitches are grass but the site is built on Limestone so no chance of getting stuck in the mud, definitely recommend this site.

Lovely, quiet campsite

A great site - quiet and peaceful. Pitches spacious and well laid out. Toilets etc very clean, though it was annoying that the shower turns off after about 20 seconds!. Lucy was really lovely and friendly, with useful info. Nice village 2 mins walk and great pub/restaurant.

Lovely quiet site

Lovely spot, nice outlook, quiet, friendly site. Easy, lovely walk to Minchinghampton and the common, with easy, quiet roads nearby to get about. Love the layout of the site, the pitches are divided by natural grasses which looks a brilliant idea, good for the wildlife too. Will stay again I'm sure.

Private and peaceful

Friendly greeting with useful information about the site and the area. Large, private pitch with water and electric hook up. Showers, toilets, sink area all very clean. Small dog walking area which was great. A short walk into the lovely village of Minchinhampton with a nice pub and good shops. Highly recommended.

Excellent and clean campsite

We stayed as a couple in a tent with electric. We used this as a base to do some Cotswold way walks. All the pitches were a really good size and well maintained. We had an Outwell Montana 6 with extension and there was loads of space between pitches. An individual water tap for the tent (saved walking to a central point), washing machine and fridge freezer to use. The shower block and toilets were immaculately clean. There is a local shop, pub, brilliant butchers, and super fish and chip shop near the site. All in all, it was a really good stay and thoroughly recommend

Peaceful

Great site

Great campsite. Not sure if we had the pitch we'd booked, but Lucy very quickly hooked us up (to electric)! Adults only is great for people of a certain age. This site is well positioned for walks on the common (a lot bigger than we thought). Also, visit Henry's Bakehouse in the village. Blueberry blondies, and the sausage rolls are to die for. If there was any criticism, and this is minor, the toilets have a slide vacant/engaged sign on the doors. Wish people would slide it to vacant, once used. Save you from waiting outside a vacant toilet! Also, dogs have to be kept on a lead on site. We have a dog, always on a lead, we have a 10M stake we use for camping. People in the pitch next to us, had a dog off the lead. Tried coming into our tent on more than one occasion. But, the stars of this site are Lucy, and her son? Absolutely golden! Would love to come back again, and would recommend.

Great campsite

This is a well maintained campsite right in the heart of the Cotswolds. Ideal a a base for exploring. Lucy the owner was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was very clean and the showers had plenty of hot water. It will be one for me to return to in the future. I can highly recommend it.

Fantastic hidden gem

A fantastic stay, it was clean, quiet and beautiful. Lucy made us so welcome, we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a lovely break.

Great site

Great find, a few minutes walk into the town with pub and cafe. Has a chip shop but was closed during our visit, general store post office and chemist are also available in the town. Facilities on site were very clean and tidy and always available (although not very busy). Everyone was around the perimeter of the field. The field slopes down with the facilities at the bottom, so most pitches are on a slope so levellers required. Slight noise from the road during peak times but otherwise, a quiet location. Good views of gliders launched from nearby gliding club. Had mostly wet weather when we stayed but still got out to walk around Minchinhampton Common. Lovely piece of open land to have on your doorstep. Ideal for stopover or longer stay to explore the area. Ideal for parking up and walking from your pitch. Say hello to the donkeys on the way out. lthough we did manage to drive through the town in a 6.5m Motorhome it is very tight and I would recommend coming in via the Hampton Rd.

Great location with local attractions

Great location with a lovely pub and cafe within 10 minute walk. The site had a good range of facilities. Lovely area, would definitely return.

Great site for adults

Clean, friendly, quiet, great facilities.

A haven of tranquility!

We came in our campervan and it was great to have both water and electric on the pitch, as well as the space to park at whatever angle we chose. It is not overcrowded and is within 10 minutes walk of Minchinhampton. Being an adult only site means it is peaceful; it also has options for dog walking. We don't normally opt for grass pitch sites, but were reassured that the soil layer is thin on top of limestone, so drains well. The Crown pub is expensive, but the food good and the starters the size of mains anyway. Can't wait to return to this site 😀

Fabulous relaxed site

Lovely stay, very relaxed. Really nice to have no kids running around and to be able to have a fire! 🔥 Great dog walking area, clean toilets and showers (although could do with a few more). The logs we were sold were damp which was a bit disappointing. Lovely market town 2 minutes walk, but London prices. Bus stop where you can get bus to Stroud for £2 and lots of lovely footpaths/bridleways. Fabulous stay and we shall definitely return!

Wonderful stay

Cannot rate this site highly enough. Lucy was so helpful before and during our stay. The site is small, well maintained and the shower/toilet/washing up block immaculately kept.

Tranquility at its best

Fantastic site. Lucy really helpful on arrival and pointed out some lovely walks over the Common. First time staying on grass as campsite doesn't have hardstanding. This was not a problem as site drains well. EHU never tripped once. Amenities good, plenty of hot water for showers and to wash pots. Amazing views. Very dog friendly village and site. Highly recommended 👌

Good site in great location

Picturesque site with great shower/loo and kitchen facilities. Really close to the very pretty town of Minchinhampton with a great pub, lovely cafes and a chippy all in walking distance, even though the site makes you feel like you're away from it all. The owner Lucy is very friendly and helpful.

Our stay

Stayed here because it was convenient to family who visited. They took us out in their car.

Site's response

Yes Irene, you were one of the rudest campers I've experienced in years! I very rarely write a response but you deserve one!

tobacconist camping site. Well worth a visit

loverly peaceful site, plenty of space.campervan with awning no extra cost. toilets and shower block immaculate.really friendly 5 min walk away from pretty village 100 percent would recommend.

Lovely quiet campsite with great facilities

Quiet site with spacious pitches. Lucy is very friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent and all very clean. The “dog run” was a nice touch. We would love to return. Highly recommend.

Perfect for couples

Lovely quiet site with good facilities and close to village and the countryside.

Thanks

Lovely peaceful site. Excellent facilities, as spacious pitches, well placed for exploring the Cotswolds and beautiful Minchinhampton to explore.

A keeper

No real effort was put into making the decision to stay here, but as it turns out, it was a great choice. The camping paddock is attractive and maintained, and the pictures are very generous. The shower block was spotless on arrival. You're met by the lady who runs the campsite and are taken into your pitch. In our case, she chose one with partial shade for the dogs which I thought was kind. When I took the dogs out for a final stretch at nine thirty-ish, I noticed some fire pits were going strong and people enjoying themselves. Having said that, everyone kept their voices down and I turned in a few minutes later, had no trouble getting to sleep and heard nothing from other campers. I have never chosen an adult only site before, but I will certainly choose one again for the peace and quiet. The village is literally not even five minutes walking distance and we found a nice little pub to have a pint before we return to the campsite for supper. My wife wandered in the next morning to have a look around the charity shops and returned a very happy lady. I don't believe anyone would be disappointed with this campsite, unless you had to have a hardstanding pitch, in which case is not for you. But for us, the ground was incredibly firm and even with our fairly large motorhome, we had no issues whatsoever.

Great adults only campsite

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Tobacconist Farm Campsite and it exceeded all my expectations. As a well-established adults-only site, it provided the perfect getaway. The location was fantastic, nestled amidst scenic walks. Beside us were two friendly and adorable donkeys. Host Lucy was incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The facilities were top-notch, boasting everything from underfloor heating to a washing machine, not to mention the convenience of provided fire pits and logs. The tranquil atmosphere made for a peaceful retreat, and I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem!
