  • Small site on a quiet family-run farm 10 mins' drive from Malmesbury
  • On the edge of the Cotswolds, 45 minutes' drive from Bristol and Bath
  • Barbecues encouraged; firepits for hire; fresh lamb and beef for sale
Poke around the Cotswolds and wind down with a barbecue using produce fresh from the farm… peaceful and rural is the order of the day at Rouselands Farm Camping. At this site, you’ll be breezing into a site based on a family-run farm in Wiltshire, 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury and 25 minutes from Chippenham. This is a splendid place to come for a quiet break close to the Cotswolds – and there’s plenty of scope to get out for rural walks or bike rides on the local lanes, although you might mostly prefer to hang out on site and meet the animals or spend some time by the large fish pond. It’s quiet here, in a field adjacent to the farmhouse, but there’s still easy access from the road on a dedicated track. A short walk across the grass (100 metres or so) gets you to the shower block, which has two flushing toilets, washing-up facilities, laundry facilities for a small charge, and two hot, curtained showers. When you’re done exploring for the day, basking in a firepit is one way to unwind – they’re available to hire on site. Barbecues are also encouraged by the site. As this is a working farm, there’s no finer way to sort out dinner than to pick up the fresh lamb and beef produced on site – it’s available seasonally to cook or take home with you. Plus, plenty of other farms nearby sell fresh produce such as meat, eggs, milk and other bits – ask the site owners for tips on getting the best local grub. There are no chemical disposal points or electric hook-up on site, but self-contained campervans are welcome.

The Old Hay Cart 1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked: Really friendly, family run farm. The shepherd's hut is amazing, really comfy and stayed nice and warm even though it was cold outside, mostly everything you need is in the hut and everything else you could need can usually be found in the clean, warm shower block (which has a little washing up area and fridge). The owners are so kind and welcoming, this is actually our second trip because we loved it so much the first time! The animals are close by which is lots of fun for little ones, even though it's a working farm we were never disturbed by any noise. I cannot recommend this site enough! I will be booking again next year for sure.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was wonderful, so peaceful and green. Everything we needed was there in terms of facilities which were kept very clean. Our host was very friendly and went the extra mile to help us. Before leaving, we purchased some of the local produce which we ate the following day and it was delicious. Will definitely come back again!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet spot

Disliked: Long grass in the rain meant we got soaking wet clothes. Last year it was cut so disappointed it wasn’t this year

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and coming back to stay with us again. There was so much rain last summer wasn't there, we really struggled to mow the campsite as often as we would normally and so the grass was sometimes longer than we would like it to be so I am sorry if you got wet feet. In the middle of the site it is usually shorter in the summer and perfect for exploring and playing but all that rain was perfect for grass growing, so much so we had to cut it all again in September which we never normally have to do! I have everything crossed for a more usual and sunny summer this year and I hope that you will be back to join us again, you would be very welcome. Best Wishes Alison and Shaun

Local attractions

Since you’re so close to the Cotswolds here, mapping your way there might be one of the first things on your to-do list. And while it may be known for its characterful villages (Bibury, half an hour’s drive away, is one of these), there’s a beach too at Cotswold Water Park (20 minutes’ drive), making paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking easy to access, or there are giraffes, lions and other big animals to see at Cotswold Wildlife Park (45 minutes). When you’re craving the buzz that comes with the busier towns or cities, that’s no problem either. Just outside the Cotswolds, Cirencester (25 minutes) is particularly scenic. That's if you're not too busy browsing the town’s museum or making a splash in the open-air pool. Further afield, Bath (45 minutes) and Bristol (45 minutes) have their own spoonfuls of historical sites, shops and museums. For those days where you prefer to stick close to your nest, a trip to 12th-century Malmesbury Abbey (10 minutes) might do. Or, there’s all the artistic flair of the Elemental Sculpture Park (20 minutes) to take in and Westonbirt Arboretum’s treetop walkway and Gruffalo trail (25 minutes).
