The soft lowing of cattle drifts across open pasture as dawn light spills over the gentle folds of the Gloucestershire countryside, illuminating a classic working farm where camping feels refreshingly straightforward and unpretentious.
College Farm welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its Central Gloucestershire setting, where the rhythm of agricultural life provides a peaceful backdrop to your stay. This is a site for those who appreciate simplicity and authentic rural surroundings over manicured pitches and branded entertainment—families seeking space to roam, couples after genuine countryside quiet, and anyone who enjoys the honest charm of a traditional farmstead. The region places you within striking distance of the Cotswolds' honey-stone villages and the Forest of Dean's ancient woodlands.
Facilities keep things practical with toilets and showers serving the pitches. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so worth asking when you get here if you're hoping for an evening around the flames. The overall atmosphere leans towards the unhurried and down-to-earth, where the main attractions are wide skies, fresh air, and the gentle pulse of farm life continuing around you.
