Twiteys Tipis and Campsite

Nestled into the glorious Warwickshire countryside, a stone’s throw from historic Stratford-upon-Avon and not far from the beautiful Cotswolds, sits the gorgeous Twiteys Tipis and camping meadows. It is a beautiful campsite; small and cosy, family friendly and peaceful, secluded and private (unless you come in a large group and then they’ll cater for that too). It is camping of a time gone by - wildflower meadows and long grasses with pathways where children can explore the trails, play hide and seek, spot some wildlife, get back to nature and be completely rewilded! Just to note though: dogs are not allowed here, due the abundant wildlife and surrounding farmland, so you will have to leave your furry pals behind for this one.

The two pretty meadows for camping are strictly car free, which not only means it is safer for kids, it’s less noisy and the views are even more scenic; wheelbarrows are provided to transport tents and luggage down to where the pitches are and this all adds to the fun. Each very spacious camping pitch is hidden in the long grasses for a secluded and private feel, and each has its own fire pit - perfect for evening campfires and toasting marshmallows. Facilities here are excellent, well maintained and spanking clean. There are several private showers with their own changing areas, flushing toilets, washbasins, washing up sinks with hot water, a large fridge freezer, recycling area and a well stocked shop for anything you might need food-wise, plus camping essentials in case you forget something crucial! You can also buy sustainable logs for the campfire.

Aside from the lovely camping meadows, there are some great glamping options too. Overlooking upper meadow and next to a small wooded area, there are two Tipis - Takoda sleeping 4 and Amitola sleeping 6. They are wonderfully fun, and furnished with futons, mattresses, blankets, rugs and other bits and pieces to make your stay comfy (bring sleeping bags or duvets though, it can get chilly at night) including - as a rather lovely touch - a welcome basket of food. Each Tipi has its own kitchen unit with a gas burner to cook on (under a roof in case it rains), a sink, and space to prepare your food. They also each have a fire pit with a raised grill to do some proper rustic campfire cooking and logs, kindling and firelighters are provided too.

Apart from the Tipis there is also a lovely Shepherds Hut to stay in. Separate from the camping pitches on upper meadow and tucked away privately at the end of the Orchard, this adults only and incredibly romantic wood-panelled hut has a cosy double bed and a woodburner to keep you cosy on chilly nights. And lastly, the newest addition to the glamping family is a very pretty and luxurious Yurt, raised up to get the best views across the meadows with its own private kitchen with a gas stove, sink and small fridge. It sleeps 4 so it is great for families.

The MET office has named this as one of the sunniest campsites in the UK, which is maybe one of the reasons that everyone is so happy here. Twiteys Tipis consistently gets rave reviews from campers and glampers who stay here, with guests especially loving the space, the privacy, the excellent facilities and the small touches that make a visit here so special. It is a wonderful part of the country to explore, and coming back to a peaceful campsite to watch the sunset at the end of the day makes for a very magical trip.
