Campfires, countryside and comfortable glamping yurts, all on the outskirts of the Cotswolds' prettiest town

Picturesque Chipping Campden, in the northern stretches of the Cotswolds, is both famously pretty and elegantly varied, with its high street showcasing several centuries of architectural styles all in one long, terraced row. It seems appropriate that, across the fields, there’s a place similarly diverse in style, but just as pleasing on the eye.

Campden Yurts is a hillside small holding turned glamping site offering simple, comfortable, family friendly holidays. Where once goats, ponies and chickens roamed and rows of vegetables grew, there now sit two spacious, 18ft yurts, each accommodating up to five people. A wood-burning stove, rugs, sheepskin throws and fold out futons dot each interior, while a main double bed boasts views up through the central crown window to the stars above. During the day natural sunlight pools through the circular space, while a discreet solar power battery system allows for some extra lighting at night. In addition, each yurt has its own private bathroom, and they also share a well-equipped kitchen room.

Despite this excellent self-catered set-up, owner Jane particularly likes seeing guests outside their yurts, where tripods and grills are provided for a more authentic cooking experience. Campfires are very much a part of the Campden Yurts experience and if you really fancy taking it up a notch, there’s even a cob oven you can use, lighting a wood-fire inside and cooking your own pizzas.

Stretch your legs with the short walk to Chipping Campden where you can stock up on goodies from the local delicatessen and grocery stores – the market town is brimming with refreshing, independent shops, galleries and a museum celebrating Campden's Arts and Crafts movement – then take a break in one of the tiny tearooms. It takes around 15 minutes to stroll the footpath into town. Popular waterside towns, Upper Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water, are also both just a short drive away. Each vies for the title of the prettiest town in the Cotswolds.

Alas, not every town can win that accolade, but Chipping Campden is certainly on the shortlist. What with its honey-coloured houses, 17th-century market hall and cluster of National Trust-owned properties, it really does offer the quintessential Cotswolds experience. And now, with a yurt glamping retreat on the doorstep, it’s on the shortlist of Hipcamp’s favourite places too.

(1)
Yurt · Sleeps 5
Daisy Yurt offers comfort and relaxation with a kingsize bed, futons, rugs and soft Cotswolds sheepskins to keep you warm. The woodburner adds to the comfort and you will have a great view over the small holding and Cotswold hills beyond. Daisy is sited closest to the bathroom block. Daisy is an 18ft sand coloured yurt, fully equipped with a king size bed for a great nights sleep. Extra beds are in the form of futons that will be made up ready for your arrival. Fairy lights add to the relaxed atmosphere and the throws and blankets will make sure you stay snug. We provide a solar box/battery from which 2 lights runso that you have extra light. The yurt has its own firepit to sit around or cook over, and a hammock close by. We encourage you to cook outdoors rather than inside the yurts and provide a covered area for eating. In high season we will host weekly pizza nights - just let us know if you wish to take part (small cost per person to cover wood and ingredients). You will have your own bathroom a very short distance away which has an electric shower, flushing loo, sink and hairdryer. This will be yours to use throughout your stay so you can leave your belongings in there.  The utilities room (in the same block) offers food storage areas, fridges and washing up facilities. Some loo rolls, soap, washing up liquid will be provided. A generous amount of wood will be provided upon arrival with further logs available to buy. Campden Yurts is on a hillside so there is a slight gradient and there are gravel pathways to the yurts and all the key areas. The historic market town of Chipping Campden is just a 15 minute walk away and has many pubs, tearooms and independent shops, plus there are some beautiful walks in the area. There are many family-friendly attractions nearby and of course the picturesque Cotswold villages and town to explore.

Buttercup

Booked 18 times
Yurt · Sleeps 5
Buttercup Yurt is our dog-friendly yurt. She offers comfort and relaxation with a king size bed, double futon, single day bed, rugs and soft Cotswolds sheepskins to keep you warm. The woodburner takes off any chill in the air and you will have a great view over the small holding and Cotswold hills beyond, as well as the neighbour's Dexter cows and St James' Church tower. Since 2020 Buttercup is in her own paddock area so those bringing dogs can relax outside together. The hammocks and campfire are within this paddock. The fence stands about 5ft high and we hope will keep even the bounciest of dogs contained! Buttercup is an 18ft sand coloured yurt. The king size bed has a memory foam mattress for a great nights sleep. Extra beds are in the form of a double futon and single day bed that will be made up ready for your arrival. Fairy lights add to the relaxed atmosphere and the throws and blankets will make sure you stay snug. We provide a solar box/battery from which indoor solar lights run. You will have your own campfire area, you can cook over your firepit or use our coal bbq. The cute communal cook-hut holds a gas cooker with grill, oven and hob (all pots, pans and utensils provided) and our wooden shelter provides a covered area for eating, socialising, crafting and more with a sense of being outdoors, indoors! In high season we will host weekly pizza nights - just let us know if you wish to take part (small cost per person to cover wood and ingredients). You will have your own bathroom a short distance away which has an electric shower, flushing loo, sink and hairdryer. This will be yours to use throughout your stay so you can leave your belongings in there.  The utility room (in the same block) offers food storage areas, fridges and washing up facilities and sockets for charging phones/tablets etc. Some loo rolls, soap, washing up liquid will be provided. A generous amount of wood will be provided upon arrival with further logs available to buy.

From the host
Nestled into a corner of the Cotswold countryside, Campden Yurts provides space for families, couples and small groups to relax and recharge. Our smallholding Hillside Nursery has been in the family since 1970. Once a plant nursery it became a self-sufficient home that 'The Good Life' could have been based on. Goats, ponies, chickens, vegetables and fruit all thrived here. In 2017 we decided to share this special place with guests instead of goats! Our glamping site was started and the yurts arrived, closely followed by people who wanted to enjoy an outdoors holiday but with comfort and ease. We have added to the site each year - a pizza oven, a communal shelter, a dog paddock and more planting to encourage wildlife. Being as environmentally friendly as possible is important to us and reflected in the products we use and decisions we make. Who knows what we will add next!
Nearby attractions

There are so many things to do and enjoy around Chipping Campden and North Gloucestershire. The scenery and landscape, the small market towns and pretty villages. We have National Trust properties, gardens, arboretums, castles and a palace all within the Cotswolds.

One place to visit for a great day out is Adam Henson's (of BBC Countryfile fame)  Cotswold Farm Park.  A little bit further afield near Burford is the Cotswold Wildlife Park with giraffes, rhinos, hippos and other animals. Both attractions are great for families.

For many, simply exploring the pretty Cotswold villages is the main attraction. Easy but pleasant footpaths link most villages together. The small market town of Chipping Camden is just a 15 minute walk from our glamping site. It has plenty of English pubs, independent shops, tearooms, bistros, galleries and a museum.  Campden's high street is famously pretty but unusual – long, broad and flanked on each side by an almost unbroken single terrace of varied architectural styles.  Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are a short drive away, as well as Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, a little further.

Food and drink

Our glamping site is  well equipped for self-catering (and campsite cooking). All you need from pots, pans, colanders, graters, chopping boards etc are all here. You can also buy homemade jams, marmalades & chutneys.  Seasonal produce (when available) including tomatoes, plums and apples. Breakfast hampers stuffed with farmshop goodies can be pre-ordered.

In Chipping Campden there are a number of tea-rooms, 7 pubs/hotels and restaurants. (Please pre-book tables). These include The Eight Bells, The Lygon and The Noel Arms who host award-winning curry nights. Great cakes and light lunches can be enjoyed at The Bantam tea-rooms, Campden Coffee Company and The Badgers. Chipping Campden also offers shops including the Co-Op, One Stop and a meat/fish and greengrocers along with 2 delicatessens.  Chinese and Indian take-aways available too. Both local farm shops sell local produce and have cafes.

We host regular Pizza Parties on site for our guests. We provide homemade dough and sauce - you just bring your toppings of choice. These are great fun, interactive and tasty! Just let Jane know in advance/upon arrival if you would like to have a pizza party during your stay,
