Cotswolds Edge

The first light catches the honey-coloured stone of the dry-stone walls that edge this site, and you wake to a soft Cotswold stillness that feels worlds away from the motorway.

This is proper tent-and-tourer territory on the fringe of the Cotswolds, suited to couples after a quiet pitch, families wanting space to sprawl, and anyone towing a caravan through Oxfordshire's rolling countryside. The site takes campervans too, so you'll find a mix of canvas and tin under the sky. You're in reach of market towns and walking country without being swallowed by tourist trails — it's that sweet spot between accessible and peaceful.

Facilities are simple and functional: toilets and showers onsite, nothing fancy but everything you need after a day exploring the area. Campfires are worth checking when you arrive — policies can shift with the season or ground conditions. Expect a low-key, no-frills atmosphere where people come to unwind rather than be entertained.
