The gentle murmur of the infant Thames is closer than you think — you're right near the official source, where England's most famous river begins as a trickle through the Cotswold limestone.
This is a proper pub-with-camping setup just outside Cirencester, ideal for couples touring the Cotswolds by campervan or anyone walking the Thames Path from its very start. Tent pitchers are welcome too, and the pub itself means hot food and a pint are never more than a short stroll away. The area draws walkers, cyclists on the quiet lanes, and anyone exploring the honeyed-stone villages that make this corner of Gloucestershire so quietly lovely.
You've got electric hookups if you need them, toilets onsite, and wifi that actually works. Dogs may be allowed but worth asking ahead. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation — they'll let you know what's possible when you turn up. It's low-key, straightforward, and trades wild seclusion for location and convenience.
