About Big Skies - Cotswold Glamping
Discover the scenic Cotswolds Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty from this peaceful, countryside escape. Within a ten minute drive of the amenities of Cheltenham and 20 minutes of charming chocolate box villages like Bourton-on-the-Water, there is also plenty to discover nearby! For a traditional camping experience, the site offers just five non electric grass pitches for tents only. Each allows up to six people and comes with its own fire pit, along with being vehicle free so kids can roam freely. If glamping is more your style, the site offers both bell and safari tents. The three bell tents each accommodate up to four guests, fully furnished with a double bed, linen, two futon sofa beds and a tea light chandelier, making it extra cosy at night. These are also positioned at least 15m apart for ultimate peace and quiet. For even more space, the two safari tents can sleep up to five. These come fully equipped with beds, linen, solar electric, a stove, a full kitchen, USB chargers and even a private eco loo. All of the glamping units come with their own outdoor fire pit too, perfect for a spot of al fresco cooking. If you want to bring your furry companion along, one of each of the bell and safari tents are dog friendly. Campers can also bring up to two dogs. Please note, the site is a member of The Greener Camping Club so at least one person in your party must be a member, but this can be added upon booking.

Lovely location with beautiful views. Great amenities, especially the hot water to wash up, and showers. Dog loved the walks in the morning. Didn't much like the shooting from the clay club. Would come back again.

Lovely wild campsite, suitable amenities, close to a local town, but far enough you still feel that you are getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! Amazing sunset and views. Camping pitches are nicely placed at a good distance from fellow campers. The place had a wild feel, with wild meadows/grass between pitches. Good basic facilities. A few more hooks to hang clothes / washing bags in the main shower / toilet room would be helpful. An excellent, chilled stay. We stayed in a bell tent and it had everything we needed - the tea, coffee, hot chocolate and marshmallows were a lovely touch. We can’t wait to return!
