About
Cotswolds Camping is a family-run site just off the B4026 between Charlbury and Chipping Norton, under a mile from the town's shops, pubs and station. It takes tents, roof tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes, and the entrance is on a bend, so take care turning in. The site opens from 1 March to 31 October. Calls are taken from 11am to 7pm, and the owners suggest a text at busy weekends.
A pitch includes two people. Caravan and motorhome pitches cost £28 a night in low season without a hook-up and £42 in high season with one; hard standing is £8 more, and dogs are £2 each. Weekends in July and August take a minimum of two nights, and bank holiday weekends three. For something sturdier than a tent there are glamping pods for three with their own toilet and sink, simple camping pods for two, stable barns for four and three hand-painted gypsy wagons more than a hundred years old, which the owners say are not built for comfort or for anyone taller than 1.83m. Bedding is yours to bring for all of them, and there is a £25 refundable deposit.
Groups can take one of two private fields, the Ranch and the Meadow, each with its own shower, toilet and kitchen, booked by phone for at least five pitches. Pitches are chosen on the online booking map, so friends can pitch together.
There are three toilet blocks, a communal kitchen with fridges and freezers, a laundrette (Thursday to Sunday), a small shop opened on request, the Cauldron Café (closed on Mondays), a play park and a woodland cinema, with a dog shower and an electric car charging point. Wi-Fi comes by Starlink at £5 a day. Dogs are welcome on leads, and fire pits are allowed if raised off the grass.
