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 PitchesMay 2025

Excellent location, peaceful countryside and a walkable distance to the village. Excellent facilities, with plenty of showers, which were clean and had constant hot water. There were also toilets, a kitchen block, shop and play areas for children. I also enjoyed the wild flowers and nature that is encouraged between pitches, with bumblebees busy visiting flowers while we sat and watched. The site is well maintained and the staff we met were very helpful and friendly. Best campsite I have stayed on and I really enjoyed my stay.

Friendly place in beautiful location
