This immaculate Caravan and Motorhome Club site has one trump card that no other site in the region can match: it sits directly opposite the entrance to Cotswold Wildlife Park. You can have breakfast in the awning and be watching rhinos, giraffes and penguins ten minutes later, then wander back for lunch.
The site itself is classic Club quality, with generous hard standings and grass pitches under mature trees, faultless shower blocks and wardens who keep everything humming. Burford, often called the gateway to the Cotswolds, is five minutes up the road with its honey-stone high street, bakeries and riverside meadows.
Why children love it
- Cotswold Wildlife Park literally across the road, be first through the gates at opening
- Woodland play area and acres of space for bikes and scooters
- Open all year, brilliant for October half-term wildlife trips
Days out nearby
- Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens (across the road)
- Burford high street and the River Windrush (5 minutes)
- Crocodiles of the World, Brize Norton (10 minutes)
Know before you go
- Non-members welcome, though membership pays for itself over a few nights.
- Tent pitches are limited compared with hard standings, check when booking.
- The wildlife park is quietest right at opening, go early and beat the coaches.
The honest bit
It is neat, managed Club camping rather than a wild adventure, and tent pitches are limited compared with the sea of hard standings.
