The morning sun climbs over the Cotswold escarpment, casting long shadows across canvas and awakening campers to birdsong that echoes across this elevated Cheltenham position—a gentle reminder that you're perched somewhere rather special.
Far Peak Camping welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to this corner of Gloucestershire, where the Regency spa town's cultural attractions and the Cotswolds' honey-stone villages sit within easy reach. It's a practical base for those wanting to explore both Cheltenham's festivals and independent shops, and the rolling countryside beyond. Families planning day trips and couples touring the region will find this a straightforward stopover with space for various camping styles.
Specific facilities aren't detailed, so it's worth contacting ahead to check what's available during your stay. The campfire policy requires confirmation on arrival—always check before striking matches. The vibe feels unpretentious and low-key, the sort of spot where you pitch up, explore the surrounding area by day, then return to simpler camping pleasures as dusk settles over the peaks.
