Campsites with swimming in Cotswolds AONB

·

In the Cotswolds AONB, over 190 campsites cater to swimmers who want direct access to rivers, lakes, or spring-fed pools. Camps like Woodside Country Park (45 reviews), The T Barn (34 reviews), and Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping (28 reviews) put you steps from water you can actually dip into. You’ll find pitches beside pebbled streams, reed-fringed ponds, and secluded wild-swimming spots. Most sites allow campfires, welcome pets, and offer the basics—think toilets and a spot to sort your rubbish. Rates start at £12 a night, with the average hovering around £100. Between swims, watch kingfishers flash past, follow horse trails, or set off on a long walk across wildflower meadows. Bring a towel, sturdy shoes, and a healthy respect for local swimming spots—locals guard their favourites fiercely.

9 units · Tents, Glamping · Churchill, England
Off the beaten track on top of the Mendips in an area of outstanding natural beauty. A mixture of four acres of wild woodland, orchard and field set on a hillside. Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 8 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.

If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see at least one of the amazing sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth – but if you don’t, there’s mighty compensation in the shape of the spectacular views from just about everywhere on the site. And of course, on clear nights, the night skies are diamond-bright with stars - we are under one of Wales' Dark Sky Reserves! This family-run camping field on a livestock farm is managed on very laidback lines. Pitch up wherever you like and feel free to park by your tent (weather permitting). Raised campfires are allowed and you can hire firepits and grills (the owners sell local eggs & sausages) and buy bags of wood & kindling. You can bring your dogs too (take them for walks in the adjoining woods) but just be sure to keep them on a lead. Kids are certainly carefully looked after here. Get a fact sheet on arrival and join mini-campers in wildlife hunts through the trees, looking out all the while for buzzards and red kites. Round and about the site, your offspring can entertain themselves on rope swings, making dens and following a mini-tractor course across the camping field. There’s also a football pitch. Wild camping this may be (there’s no electricity on site, please note) but there are two nicely designed compost loos and a covered sink areas with fresh water tap. So bring your guitar, light that fire, break out the barbecue and enjoy the chilled vibe.
