Stow on the Wold Rugby Club

The thwack of rugby boots on turf and the cheerful voices from the clubhouse drift across this no-frills pitch in one of the Cotswolds' most celebrated market towns. Stow on the Wold Rugby Club offers straightforward camping in the heart of honey-stone country, where you're trading bells and whistles for an unbeatable location.

Perfect for explorers who prioritize position over pampering, this site puts you within strolling distance of Stow's antique shops, traditional pubs and famous market square. The Central Cotswolds stretch out in all directions—rolling wolds, picture-book villages and walking trails threading through some of England's most photographed countryside. It's an ideal base for those touring the region by campervan or families happy to keep things simple.

Facilities are functional rather than fancy: hot showers and toilets serve campers, caravanners and motorhomers alike. The rugby club atmosphere brings a friendly, community feel, especially when there's a match on. Check campfire rules when you arrive. This is camping that's all about the destination rather than the site itself—and that destination happens to be utterly lovely.
