The morning mist lifts off the Thames meadows, and the Cotswold stone barns catch the early sun — this is working farm country, quiet and proper rural.
Rough Grounds Farm is a straightforward spot for tourers: campervans and caravans welcome, with that unpretentious farm-site feel where you're pitched among real fields rather than manicured rows. You're deep in the upper Thames Valley here, close to Lechlade where the Cotswolds meet the river — perfect for couples after a peaceful base or anyone exploring the waterside paths and honey-stone villages. It suits self-contained outfits and people who like their camping low-key. Dog owners should ask ahead to confirm.
Facilities aren't specified, so come prepared and check what's available when you arrive — this feels more working farm than resort site. Campfires are a maybe; worth asking on the day. If you fish, Lechlade & Bushyleaze Trout Fisheries is a short walk across the fields. The vibe is genuinely rural and unfussy — you're here for the countryside, not the amenities.
