Escape to Tranquility – A Rural Adult-Only Campsite in the Heart of the Cotswolds AONB
Discover a peaceful retreat in one of England’s most beautiful landscapes. Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), our adult-only campsite offers a quiet, rural escape for those seeking rest, relaxation, and a connection to nature.
Surrounded by rolling hills, open fields, and winding country lanes, our site is perfect for couples, solo travellers, or friends looking to enjoy the simplicity and serenity of the countryside. With no children or large groups, you can truly unwind in a calm, laid-back setting where the pace of life slows down and the stresses of the everyday melt away.
The campsite itself is designed with peace and privacy in mind. Spacious pitches are thoughtfully arranged to provide guests with room to breathe, take in the views, and enjoy the tranquil sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves. On clear nights, the lack of light pollution reveals breathtaking star-filled skies—ideal for stargazing by the fire or enjoying a peaceful evening outdoors.
We pride ourselves on creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, where guests can feel at ease and fully immersed in the natural surroundings. Whether you’re camping under canvas or bringing your camper van, our site provides a comfortable and well-maintained base to relax and recharge.
The surrounding countryside is rich in walking and cycling routes, with scenic paths leading through meadows, woodlands, and characterful villages. Whether you prefer a gentle afternoon stroll or a longer day hike, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to explore right from the site. Maps, route suggestions, and local tips are available to help you make the most of your stay.
For those who love to embrace slow travel, this is the perfect place to simply sit back and soak in the moment. Sip a morning coffee as the sun rises over the fields, enjoy a good book in the shade of a tree, or gather around a firepit in the evening with a glass of something local. Here, the quiet moments are what make the memories.
Local pubs, farm shops, and independent eateries are just a short drive or cycle away, offering delicious food and a warm welcome. Many of our guests enjoy spending their days exploring the area, and their evenings dining out or cooking up something special back at camp.
Whether you're staying for a few days or settling in for a longer retreat, our adult-only campsite is a place where you can truly relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple pleasure of rural life.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing our little slice of Cotswold calm.
