 We stayed there over the Easter weekend and survived Storm Katie! The site itself was a basic small camping field. It had a nice shower block and good size pitches. There is a slope on the field but this did benefit the draining during the bad weather we experienced. There is a small play area for the kids at the bottom of the site. The site was very safe for kids to run around and they enjoyed being able to feed and stroke the animals. The site is peaceful although noise from the road and local race course can be heard. This wasn't a problem for us but others may find it annoying. Lucy was helpful and always available.

There is no on site shop or clubhouse / bar etc. This was perfect for us and just what we wanted for a peaceful stay but others may prefer more commercial facilities.

 Visited as two adults and two children (8 and 5) for our main summer holiday, and we LOVED it.

I'd even go as far as to say this is our new favourite ever campsite, I just wish it was a bit closer to home!

The site is on a gentle slope which we didn't notice in a tent, but I think if you were in a caravan or motorhome you might need ramps.

Facilities were brilliant. Spotlessly clean in a new building, plenty of showers and toilets for the size of the site and a great kitchen area with fridge-freezer, kettle, washing machine. Children's play area was very popular with my kids, but they also loved just running around the field with other children, because as previous reviews have said, there are no cars on site which is brilliant. (I think exceptions can be made for people with mobility problems, so don't let that put you off - it's worth asking if you really need your car right there).

Fire pits were brilliant, and Lucy come round every evening with wood.

A few minutes walk from Minchinhampton with a small mini-mart, chip shop, cafes etc. Lots to do in the local area, but you might not want to leave the site very much!

Overall, a lovely, friendly site, where we could give the children a huge amount of freedom. I think the friendliness is due in no small part to The way Lucy runs the place. Hope to visit again soon.

 We have just returned from a 10 night stay at this wonderfully peaceful campsite.

The site is very open with large grass pitches. Some are divided by 'natural' breaks others are open. There are no cars allowed on the site unless loading or unloading which was bliss. The car park is just as you enter the site so no issue walking when you go out. My children have never been allowed so much freedom due to the lack of vehicular traffic.

The facilities are more than suitable for the size of the site and are kept very clean. Only first thing in the morning on a busy bank holiday weekend did I see someone waiting for a shower. The water was never ever cold in the showers. Large fridge freezer and washing machine in the kitchen area.

Small play area which the children seemed to love and play on together. The animals were a bonus for children and adults alike. Firepits which double up as bbqs were very useful and supplied wood was reasonably priced.

The owners were very friendly and extremely knowledgable about the local area. The recommendation for Stroud Farmers market was a great idea and an enjoyable stroll.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and will be looking to stay again in the future.

 A nice little site. Owner was friendly, chatty and helpful. Toilets and showers were very clean and close to pitches. A clean kitchen with washing machine and washing line. Small play area for children and lots of animals on farm to see and talk to. Dog walking area was close to pitches and there was a footpath from the site through nearby fields. Our pitch was on a very slight slope but not enough to be a problem. Cars had to be parked in a separate car park when not loading/unloading which worked well. Site was a short walk (5 mins) into the village for shops and pub. Overall a pleasant stay.

 Well run site near to the pleasant village of Minchinhampton.

The owner very friendly and helpful.

The facilities are very good with underfloor heating in the shower block and with all the usual facilities for washing clothes, washing up etc. There was a children's play area too although that doesn't matter to us at our age!

What impressed me was the ecological ' wild ' areas between the pitches which acted as sight barriers and of course as a haven for wildlife and we spotted a few butterflies during our visit.

It was useful to be able to use the fire pits ( provided ) to cook our steaks and make a fire for the evening and the site has little light pollution so stargazing over a bottle of wine is eminently possible. All in all a good visit and would recommend.

 This is one of the best campsites we have stayed at

20 pitches - plenty of space - extremely cleaner well lit toilet/shower rooms, a kitchen area with a fridge/freezer kettle for campers use

A good size car park - which means once you have pitched up, no cars scrambling about making it safer for everyone especially the children. The toilet block and play area is close to all pitches. Our grandchildren aged 9 and 5 soon made friends and enjoyed the freedom and independence Disabled driver vehicles are allowed to be parked next to tents etc

Plenty of exploring to do around the play area. The owners are genuinely kind - nothing was too much trouble for them BBQ and fire baskets can he hired and wood to burn can be purchased.

We spent Thursday - Sunday this time - but will certainly be booking again next year for longer- There were 8 in our party and these comments are are echoed by all.

Thank you so much for a great few days of relaxation in a clean and most friendly environment - definitely recommend to all our friends.

 Great campsite, luckily well drained because it rained a lot. Spotless showers and toilets with no shortage of hot water. The play area is perfect for the size of site, well placed for Cirencester, Stroud etc. Owners were lovely. The children enjoyed seeing the highland bull (harmless) and pig and donkeys. Fire pits available and logs for sale. Ideal!

There is a freezer and free washing machine available for campers use too.

 Lovely Site.

We live about 30 miles away and only just discovered this. The site is on a gentle slope so make sure you bring something to level your rig. Loved the informal layout of the site with the defined little bays adding to privacy.

Facilities where spotless and very well maintained.

Set in some farmland with interesting animals and lovely countryside views. The local public footpath add to the attraction if you like a stroll.

Minchinhampton is a lovely quaint town, shame the local pub was closed, however there is one about 15 minutes walk using footpaths.

One thing, as the grass is highly maintained, remember to park your vehicle off the main site in the adjacent parking field. We had a little misunderstanding as when we arrived were advised it was okay to park beside the caravan by staff as they were quiet, the following day we were told off by the owner for not obeying the rules. Lucy was very apologetic however.

 What a fantastic site ! This was our first trip to Tobacconist Farm but I very much hope that it won't be our last.

The site is run by Lucy who is friendly, helpful and just generally fabulous. Nothing is too much trouble ~ during our stay I saw her helping people put tents up, offering advice on things to do and working tirelessly to maintain high standards in the toilets, showers and kitchen block.

The showers were warm, spotlessly clean and the kitchen area provided a fridge freezer, washing machine and kettle (all for use free of charge). There was also a washing line and pegs.

There is a no cars on site policy other than for unloading and loading and this was brilliant. Not only did it make it a safer place for the children to play but also meant that it did not feel like you were camping in a car park.

I would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend this site to anyone.

 Cracking little site, clean, tidy and well maintained. Shower and toilet block is excellent, underfloor heating worked well, and showers always piping hot. Add on kitchen room appeared to have a free washing machine and kettle and a herb garden took the bbq to a new level

Gradual slope and informal pitch layouts mean you can pitch with enough freedom to get a good set up, or have a central point if your camping with friends.

Small children's pay area kept the kids happy for the weekend and a local shop topped up the fridge, pub was a little further afield

Owner on site regularly for a talk or assistance.

Will certainly be back
