Abbey Home Farm is 1,500 acres of certified organic farmland with a simple green field set aside for campers who like their nights dark and their mornings loud with birdsong. Facilities are deliberately minimal, compost loos, two warm gas showers and zero hook-ups, and campfires under the stars are the evening's entertainment.
The farm's award-winning organic shop and café is the ace card: wood-fired sourdough, their own vegetables, proper breakfasts and legendary cakes. Children can follow the farm trail to meet the cows and pigs, and the whole place runs on a gentle, welcoming environmental ethos that tends to convert people for life.
Why children love it
- Campfires encouraged, fire bowls and organic marshmallows available
- Farm trail to meet cows, pigs and chickens
- The farm café's breakfasts and cakes are worth the trip alone
Days out nearby
- The Organic Farm Shop and café (on the farm)
- Cirencester town (10 minutes)

Know before you go
- This is off-grid camping, bring power banks and torches.
- The shop sells everything you forgot, organically.
- Book the café for Sunday brunch, it gets busy.
The honest bit
Compost loos and simple gas showers are the deal. If anyone in the family regards hot water as non-negotiable, book elsewhere.
