Bibury Camping

A small, owner-run campsite at the edge of one of the Cotswolds' most celebrated villages, with fire pits, wildflower meadow and views across the Coln Valley.

Bibury Camping sits on farmland at the edge of Bibury village, with pitches spread across pasture, wildflower meadow and a strip of woodland. From the field you look out across the Coln Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and a footpath from the site leads directly into the village. Arlington Row and The Rack Isle are a short walk away.

Pitches are spacious and each comes with a picnic bench and a fire pit. Wood is sold on site. Richard, the owner, keeps things simple and genuinely welcoming: around ten well-spaced grass pitches, two flushing toilets, two hot showers, a washing-up area. The pace is quiet even at peak summer weekends, and the proximity to Bibury means you can walk to The Catherine Wheel for a pint, Bibury Trout Farm for the children, or The Swan Hotel for something more indulgent.

This is the campsite to book if Bibury is the destination. It accepts tents, caravans and motorhomes, though the field setting and modest facilities make it feel far closer in spirit to a farm camping field than a touring park. No dogs are permitted.

Before you book

  • No dogs allowed on site.
  • No electric hookups available.
A rare thing: a campsite where the village is the reason to go, not a consolation for a mediocre field. Bibury earns its reputation through Richard's care, the fire-pit pitches and a setting that hasn't tried to be anything other than what it is.

Why it made the cut

  • Fire-pit pitches in a wildflower meadow with Coln Valley views
  • Walking distance to Arlington Row, village pubs and Bibury Trout Farm
  • Small, owner-present and genuinely uncrowded even at summer weekends
  • Honest simplicity: clean facilities, spacious pitches, no pretence
