 We wanted to get away in our caravan for August Bank Holiday and Bridge House had room – not too far for us we only live about 7 miles away.
There are good walks along the Thames and Lechlade has all the facilities required; shops, pubs, cash point etc. Site is grassy and level and safe due to security barrier - yes, the stile from the site onto the footpath to Lechlade and the river is tricky if you are not too dextrous and the cows in the field can be very inquisitive but don’t let this put you off.
Varied set of campers - caravans, tents and motorhomes but very friendly, our children made friends very quickly. Very quiet at night, owners enforce this rigidly not that they had any cause to while we were there. Adjacent road is busy at times but we never found noise excessive.
Wash block clean and enough of them – showers very good and very hot. Site has a caravan storage facility attached; its apparent many use the site as a weekend holiday home as it’s in such a lovely location.
All in all a good site and well worth a visit

It's the location that makes this site so good - next to a huge field to play in (mind the cows, a great little town ( I think you can get pretty much everything between the supermarket, excellent butchers, hardware shop, & kebab shop, not to mention lots of others!), lots of good pubs, and beautiful walks along the river to lots more pubs.
The site has been a bit busy in previous years, but this had improved on our last visit. Plenty of loos but showers are limited, avoid peak shower times & you'll be fine. Although cleaned regularly, bear in mind it is the campers that make the mess!
We have always had great fun here, & we'll be back soon.
Good site for adults & children - lots to do in the area if the weather is iffy - I was taken to the Cotswold Wildlife Park & had a wonderful time. Fantastic site for Fairford Air Show but book well in advance, we've only managed to get in once.

We arrived on Saturday afternoon for a one night stay. The staff weren't particularly friendly but gave us directions to our pitch and a list of rules which were a little terse!
The site is quite small but with ample space between pitches and it is very flat so no need for ramps. Dogs are allowed and no charge is made for them (we have two) whereas on some sites we have been charged.
To get to the town you need to either walk along the road (no footpath) or negotiate the stile and work across a field. The stile is rather high and rather muddy on each side (wellies advised) but the dogs managed to go underneath quite easily.
The town of Lechlade is very pretty and well worth a wander. There are lots of nice looking pubs and restaurants. We ate at the Riverside Inn and were very pleased with the food which was excellent value. We ate in the garden but under an awning to avoid the rain. The view of the river is lovely and the boats and swans make an interesting backdrop.
We have our own loo and shower so didn't use the camp facilities and therefore can't comment on these. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again if in the area.

The site has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and consists of an open field which allowed us to camp where we liked as a group. The showers and loos were clean and seemed quite new, the showers nice and hot and although there was only two I never saw a queue and it was a busy July weekend. There was a washing up area and small laundry room but we didn't use either as we only stayed one night.
The site is a short walk to the town of Lechlade (5mins) for supplies and pubs. The only slight downside is the stile you have to cross - it requires a certain amount of agility! There is a small supermarket for all you would need, a cash machine and bank and a choice of pubs. We tried the Riverside Inn - good food and good beer and a nice beer garden by the river.
All in all a good trip and would return!

We stayed at this site for 4 days in May. It's a large field with plenty of space yet cosy with a warm and friendly staff.
The facilities are clean and basic, with a few small showers and dish washing area and small coin operated laundry.
The location is good as it is just a easy stroll to the village which has several pubs and restaurants along with a supermarket which is well equipped for your cold beers, cold wine and BBQ supplies.
The only down side was the road which is busy at times with a lot of bike noise.

The proximity to the river and town is the main thing in this site's favour. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the site - it's clean and tidy, with good security and very helpful owners.
The field is a bit lumpy, which might bother tenters, but was fine for us. As previously mentioned, the stile is quite high, so you need to be reasonably agile for this site, but as long as you can manage this it's a haven for people like us who just like to 'wander' and don't need bells and whistles.
We will definitely be returning. The prices are per person (£7 this year), so cheap if you're a lone traveller.

The site is small and well kept you will need to book as it does get busy in the holiday time and around the time of the air show.
Within easy reach of the town 10mins and the river Thames path.
There is a real ale pub in town where they brew their own beer, forgot the name but cant miss it straight across at the lights.
The toilets are small the showers are free could do with more pressure dish washing facilities really good.
The staff are really helpful and friendly.
Have stayed at this site many times over the years always been good tried to stay last bank holiday but they were full. Only £7 a night

Cracking tlttle site a field away from the Thames and beautiful Lechlade. Clean and tidy loos, shower and washing up facilities, with washer & dryer. Keypad entry to site and toilet block made it feel very secure.
She lent us an extension cord as the hook up points were quite a distance away. But with unmarked pitches it was easy to spread out and enjoy the space. Large field with plenty of space for the kids to play games, but bring your own activities as no playground or anything.
Locally several fab pubs, small supermarket, post office, antique shops and cute all year round Christmas shop. Couple of chippies and take aways, and an amazing butcher who does gut-bursting bbq bundles. Seek out Tony the butcher, he is awesome!
Larger co-op in Highworth better value for food, but 15 mins drive away. Thames is beautiful here, walk along the banks to where two rivers meet for the most idylic scenery. And try your hand at Aunt Sally a local pub game involving throwing a stick at a ball. Like baseball only backwards ;)
Only 2 downsides to week long break were an abundance of wasps and I mean ABUNDANCE! and with a husband who is allergic and petrified, this made mealtimes somewhat stressful. Only other downside is the main road is used heavily by trucks and wagons, and has no footpaths. Thankfully there is a path through the cow field to the bridge and pavements, but if you plan on walking to town for a beer of an evening, take a torch and stay off the main road! (And watch out for cowpats!)
But neither of these negative points should reflect on the campsite. Great location, fantastic views of airplanes from RAF fairford, excellent walks along the river and great amenities. Will be going back again.

We have just returned from a break away with a group of mum's and children. On arrival we tried to pay for our 3 nights stay and
We were told by Mrs Owner we were unable to stay for the third night due to a double booking. No phone call was made to let us know that we could not stay for the third night. Mrs Owner did not apologise for the inconvenience and was not very helpful. Mrs Owner then told us she would let us know if we could stay the third night, but on the second day when we approached her she said 'no you can't stay it's not possible'.It was very disappointing and upsetting for our children as they really wanted to stay the extra night.
Also, we didn't feel the toilet and shower block were very clean and there were 3 out of 4 toilet seats broken.
We do not feel this is an unfair review of the site as we have been there for the last 2 years and have had a lovely time, we just felt that the lady owner made us feel very unwelcome.
Lechlade is a lovely part of the Cotswolds

Just come back from a great break at Bridge House Campsite in Lechlade. We reckon that the site and facilities are the best we've come across. We think it is not a problem that there is no site shop as Lechlade is so close.
The toilet/shower block looks very new and is kept incredibly clean. The power showers (2 in Ladies and 2 in Gents) are hot and powerful and I liked the cubicle arrangement which made showering easy. I should think that when the campsite is full, you might have to queue up or choose a time earlier or later than the norm but it will be well worth it.
The washing machine is excellent as are the washing up sinks. We thought that the only thing which was missing, that we've made use of at other sites, was a small chest freezer for freezing freezer blocks but perhaps there wouldn't be enough people to make use of it. It was not much of a problem as Londis do packs of ice which kept our cool box going for 2-3 days.
The large field was great with electrical hook ups on one side and tents on the other. It has country views on 3 sides.
The road was a bit noisy but not enough to disturb us.
A quick stroll across the cow field (watch out for pats!)and you're in Lechlade. The stile was fine for us but I can see it would be a bit of an ordeal if you're a bit infirm or you've got a pram. The road is very busy and fast and would think this would be quite dangerous to walk along into Lechlade even though it's no distance.
Lechlade is a lovely village with all the facilities you need while you're on holiday. Cutler and Bayliss - Traditional Butchers has 'real' meat which tastes beautiful. They also do a BBQ range of meat - Yum yum. Arkwrights, the DIY shop for bits you've forgotten and Londis for all the other bits. Rosemary and Cranberry bread was lovely.
Pubs - Crown has a microbrewery. Excellent beers especially Old Lech.
The Riverside by the bridge is good for lunches by the Thames accompanied by a pint of Moonlight or two!
The Trout at Tadpole Bridge/St John's Lock was great. They have live music nearly everyday and we can recommend the Cheddar Ploughmans and the Prawn Salad. The menu was quite extensive. You can walk down to it on the Campsite side of the river then return using the Monks Walk which comes out at the School and Church in Lechlade.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this campsite. The owners are very helpful and the location can't be beaten.
