Kempsford Camping (July Only)

The hum of summer insects drifts across open Cotswold grassland as evening light turns the stone of nearby Kempsford village to honey-gold. This is fleeting, seasonal camping at its most straightforward—a July-only opportunity that appears and vanishes with the height of summer.

Located in the eastern Cotswolds near the Gloucestershire-Wiltshire border, this site suits those seeking an unpretentious base for exploring the region's golden limestone villages and the Thames Path, which winds through the countryside nearby. The strictly July-only opening makes this one for high summer adventurers rather than spontaneous weekenders. Tents, campervans, and caravans are all welcome, though you'll want to confirm practical details on arrival.

With facilities unspecified and campfire policies to be checked when you pitch up, come prepared for a back-to-basics experience. The appeal here lies in its simplicity and seasonal nature—a month-long window when a Cotswold field opens its gates to campers seeking midsummer under canvas. The atmosphere is likely quiet and informal, shaped by whoever else has chosen this brief camping season.
