About The Wildings Campsite
Just a short walk from the picturesque, traditional village of Bourton-on-the-Water, this tranquil site offers an idyllic escape from your day-to-day stresses. Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, you will be surrounded by scenic walking routes, charming country pubs and beautiful farmland. For those looking for a traditional camping experience, the site offers 27 non electric grass tent pitches, each measuring 9m x 9m. The pitches each welcome up to six guests with the camping field being vehicle free so no one is awoken by the sound of slamming car doors. If glamping is more your style, the site has a wide variety for you to choose from. There are seven bell tents that are situated in their own little area of the site, ideal for booking with family or friends. Each bell tent comes equipped with a groundsheet, carpeting, twinkling fairy lights and bunting. The Sorrel Luna Tent is a great choice for a spacious summer yurt. Set in its own little garden surrounded by willow hedging the 5m bell tent and yurt hybrid comes with a double bed and camp beds all with sheets, a wood-burning stove for those cooler evenings, logs, tableware, and cooking utensils. Two handcrafted tipis also make for a great glamping getaway, each in an enclosed willow garden.

Really enjoyed our stay, the staff are all very friendly. The pod and all amenities, were extremely well looked after. I came with young children, who had an excellent and exciting stay.
Lovely site, but not the best for peace and quiet

We enjoyed our stay here over the weekend. Staff were amazing. Shout out to the well stocked farm shop and super useful wheelbarrows. This is a clean and lovely campsite in terms of facilities and setup. Unfortunately, we were placed in a terrible spot, sandwiched in between the car park and a bell tent full of loud drunks, so the noise levels were really bad. I think campsite staff have done their best to put signs everywhere regarding curfews and respecting other guests, but there was noisy people and music until late over both nights. So if you want peace and quiet, maybe not the place for you.
Super, rural campsite

Frankly, I was expecting just a field (I hadn't read the info beforehand). The Wildings was so much more than that, it had everything a camper could need to make the stay comfortable and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommended! I would say that it is less suited to groups of friends as there is a noise curfew from 10pm, which is perfect for families, couples and solo campers.
