Oxfordshire, Central

Cotswold Bells

The bells here aren't church towers — they're canvas, pitched on Cotswold stone country where the light falls honey-gold across rolling pasture and the mornings arrive quiet except for birdsong.

This is a site for anyone wanting proper tent camping with a bit of shelter overhead, and it'll suit campervans and caravans just as happily. Families after a gentle Oxfordshire base will find it works well, as will couples exploring the market towns and footpaths that lace through this part of the Central region. You're in classic Cotswold territory here — all dry stone and beech woodland — without the coach-tour villages but with plenty of the landscape that makes people fall for this corner of England.

Onsite you've got the basics sorted — toilets and showers — and the campfire question gets answered when you arrive, so ask then if you're planning to cook over flame. The vibe feels low-key and unfussy, the kind of place where the tent itself is half the point and nobody's trying to reinvent camping.
