The scent of sun-warmed apples drifts across the pitches in late summer, a sweet reminder that you're camping in the heart of Gloucestershire orchard country.
This working fruit farm near Cheltenham welcomes both tents and campervans, offering something genuinely different from your usual campsite — a slice of agricultural life in the Cotswolds fringe. It suits couples after a quiet escape, families who don't need all-singing entertainment, and anyone curious about where their fruit actually comes from. The Cheltenham area gives you the Cotswold escarpment for walking, market towns for rainy-day browsing, and proper countryside without driving for hours.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's onsite and confirm the basics. Dogs are welcomed by arrangement — just ask when you book. Campfires might be allowed depending on conditions and the time of year, so check when you arrive. Expect a relaxed, rural vibe rather than manicured glamping — this is a real farm first, campsite second, and all the more honest for it.
