Off on a family getaway in the Cotswolds? You must be heading for Cotswold Lakes Camping, an eco-conscious site 15 minutes’ drive from Cirencester in Gloucestershire, which provides a blend of adventure activities, sustainability and basic comforts. As a Wanderlust Camping Club certified campsite, it’s all about eco-friendly camping that’s kind to the planet. The site is set at the Cotswold Lakes complex and you can spend your days exploring pretty Cotswold villages, hiking sections of the Cotswold Way and refuelling in traditional Cotswold pubs. If you’d rather get active with the kids, kayaking, paddleboarding, wakeboarding and fishing – for novices or seasoned pros – are all available a short walk away from the pitches. Facilities include mains water, hot showers, a recharge station and a casual on-site café and tap room, where you can unwind after a day of exploring and sample local produce from food vendors every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You also have the option to join in with family-friendly pop-up events and quizzes.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: The on site bar. Burgers were absolutely amazing. Nice location

Disliked: Toilet and shower facilities were basic. Loo roll ran out!! Pitches are really close together. No reception or management on site?

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Beautiful scenic views, not overcrowded, good bar on site

Disliked: The site had not been finished for the season, when we arrived they were still put up signs for pitches. There was no running water on site either, so no showers or even washing up water.
