 Lovely natural surroundings, each pitch has enough privacy, whilst allowing you to meet up with your neighbours if you wish.
The addition of the single toilets around the site were very 'convenient' when you didn't want to walk to the main block! The facilities were very clean with plenty of hot water for a long shower.
The on site staff were very accommodating and there was the opportunity to purchase fresh meat and eggs supplied direct from the farm. The steaks we bought were amazing!
We didn't use an awning on this visit as the long pitch we were on sloped away from the van. Many others were in motorhomes, tents and campervans and seemed to have managed with the awning frame (without the side panels) to protect their outdoor furniture.
The site entrance would benefit from signage opposite as it is quite easy to drive past.
During our stay we saw lots of birdlife including Partridges and nearly had a fledgling blackbird enter the van. We also saw a hare outside the van one morning.
The site would benefit from a small area where dogs could be exercised off lead rather than on lead.
Overall a very enjoyable stay. No shops or pubs within walking distance but only a short drive to Stow on the Wold.

Love this site. Husband goes as far to say that it is possibly his favourite campsite in 8 years of campervanning. I note several comments about the pitches being ‘unkempt’ or ‘unmown’ - but I think that is the point.
Pitches are roomy and very private, divided by hedges, with an abundance of trees and shrubs, and very unusual elephant grass hedge, full of birds and who knows what else!
Toilets/showers clean and adequate, warden very friendly and helpful but unobtrusive.
Half hour walk into Bourton on the Water, which was incredibly busy (apparently this is very normal).
Highly recommended if you appreciate a tranquil low impact campsite.

I'm not sure which site the other reviewers have visited but it's certainly not a 5 star campsite in my opinion!
It's extremely overpriced.
The approach to the site from the main road is a very long single track. I was concerned in case we met another large camper or caravan as there is just one small passing place.
It does have 53 pitches as stated on their website they are FAR FROM large and spacious.
It has the most bizarre layout I have ever seen. The pics on the website show a large green area with shrubs and bushes separating pitches, giving the impression of plenty of space - these are in a middle cross shaped section - it probably holds about 20 nice secluded pitches.
As we drove onto the site to find our pitch it was very difficult to see any numbers due to the very overgrown shrubs and bushes - the whole site is very unkempt and scruffy.
The pitches are so close to the road that we were able to stop, open up our window and talk to a fellow camper sitting just a foot away from the edge of the road to ask which number they were in order to find our pitch !
The rest of the pitches are situated along the outer edge of the plot - they sit actually ON THE THROUGHROAD of the campsite which is very dusty!
We were there while it was hot and sunny, every vehicle that went past kicked up an enormous amount of dust which you then are covered in!
They are extremely small and definitely NOT PRIVATE in any capacity. They are approx 8m square.
We are in an 8m long motorhome and had to pull in diagonally in order to fit without our bikes (which were on the back) hanging out in the road ! This as it turned out was the best option because if we pulled in longways like most others had we'd have had our feet dangling in the road ! From these pitches all you have left to look at is the hedge at the other side of the very dusty road!
We saw caravans struggling to navigate onto pitches all the time we were there.
The pitch had easy access to EHU and a water tap - we used the hose on the tap to dampen down the road and reduce the amount of dust we were inevitably going to be covered in :(
We did not use the showers or toilets so unable to comment.
The site is for over 30's which is nice
Dog friendly
It is only a couple of miles into Bourton on the Water - great for cycling or walking.
It is silent after 10.30 which is nice.

I must admit we booked this site because we couldn’t find another site in the area with space. The reviews also seemed good on the whole.
Before you set off, I suggest you plot exactly where this site is. We did and still missed it as there is no signage to it and a very small sign on a gate post when you get there.
Approach from the road to the site is along quite a long very bumpy track. Be prepared to go very carefully or suffer breakages.
We received a warm welcome upon arrival and told where our numbered pitch was.
It’s difficult to know how to describe the site. Don’t expect the manicured lawns of a CC site. It’s a rustic campsite in the middle of a re wilding project. All pitches are separated by hedges of shrubs or elephant grass. Large pitches but you’ll need levelling blocks. It’s different and has a certain charm. We liked it.
Whilst we were there the grass on the pitches was not being cut as it had been stressed during lack of rain earlier in the summer. It was very long in parts but just about acceptable. All pitches are on grass.
There were plenty of fresh water taps close to every pitch and we were recommended to empty grey water in the hedges, which I didn’t have a problem with. Electric points were a bit of a distance from some of the pitches but extension cables were offered. Wifi is available near the warden’s caravan. 4G could be temperamental. TV signal was ok if you played around a bit.
There is no lighting on site so be sure to take a torch. However, this does mean you get a good view of the night sky.
The toilet block is quite old and in need of refurbishment. It was kept clean but the floor was often wet which resulted in a covering of dirt from shoes.
They are very keen on sorting recycling into the right bin.
In Sept 2020 the Covid prevention measures were just about acceptable in my view.
It is a 1. 5 mile walk into Bourton on the Water. Uphill on the way back via either the road or across the fields. Lot’s of nice walks, villages and pubs nearby. Good location, apart from the access road.

Second visit this year.
Love this site.
Friendly and informative welcome from the wardens then left you to it (all grown ups here) unless there was an issue.
Large spacious pitches but a bit scruffy (overgrown) this year. Like the wild grasses but not ON the pitches, felt a little unkempt.
Love the local meat and little produce shed.
Pleased to see they sacrificed pitches for temporary porta loos - clearly customers come before profit.
Looking forward to 2021 season

When we arrived at Field Barn campsite, we were disappointed with the very overgrown grass and hedges around our pitch, it was a large pitch but sloping two ways.
We didn't see anything of the wardens after we arrived. The toilets and showers were clean but very dated, good recycling. No lights around campsite, needed a torch.
Free wifi but only available to use near wardens caravan. 25/30 minute walk into Bourton on the water which was really lovely but an uphill walk on the way back

What a hidden gem. The drive to the site is a bit bumpy but worth it to be away from the roads. Site is really well laid out so that you are not overlooked and it feels really private. We didn't use the facilities at all so cant comment on them.
The recycling is brilliant even down to being given a compostable bag for food waste.
There is a shed selling wonderful local eggs, bacon and steaks from the farm and sausages. Milk and soft drinks in the fridge.
There are lots of great public footpaths directly from the site and we walked with our dogs for miles and miles. You can walk into Bourton but due to Covid-19 we didn't want to be amongst all the crowds!
Bit of a panic when we came to leave as our car battery was dead! The helpful Warden lent us some jump leads and we were able to start it from the caravan battery. Thank you :-)

We spent a lovely 2 weeks here. Good size pitches with hedging for privacy. The site is well laid out. There were extra toilets in place to help with COVID safety.
The only slight downsides are the length and condition of the access road, it is very bumpy which could be a problem if towing a caravan.
The toilets are clean but the showers do require updating, the cubicles get very wet and water flows in all directions on the floor meaning it’s hard to keep your clothes dry for changing post shower.
An on-site shop selling essentials would also be of benefit.
These issues aside I would stay again

Great site wonderful wardens, great informative welcome.
Shower nice and hot but you have to keep pushing the button to allow the water to flow.
Good size pitch with enough privacy between pitches.
Washing up room has washing machine and tumble dryer with a microwave to boot.
Some great villages and towns nearby, however not a site for the less abled in wheelchairs as some access is restricted
But overall a great site.
