Our bell tents are the perfect places if you’re looking to hide away and kick back with nature.  You’ll get all that’s great about camping with the added benefit of a fuss-free, no-hassle experience, so what’s not to love?!

Set in stunning surroundings, we have five tents, all of which have been carefully thought out to make your night under the stars as cosy as can be. We bring the home comforts, and all we ask you to bring is your sense of adventure and love for nature!

With room for up to four people, you won’t think twice about taking advantage of escaping everyday life whilst soaking up the wonderful Cotswold atmosphere.

Shepherd's Hut: Dora / Marjorie / June 

The T Barn is a collection of farm projects set in the middle of Barnsley, a quintessentially Cotswold village. After spending the first few years on the farm splitting time between working in food & events in London, helping milk the cows and raising their sons, Eloise started to look for opportunities to put her own stamp on farm life. The barn, once so integral to farm life, had become storage space for farm equipment and seemed the obvious place to start. 

Now the evolution of farm diversification begins, shepherds huts, asado barbecue farm suppers, weddings and parties, floristry workshops,  and we are always open to suggestions….

The farm is a beautiful spot and one that we are committed to sharing with others, the land rolls outwards across the valley providing lush pastures for the cows. Original stone barns, stables, pig stys, shepherds huts and an old bakehouse show the evolution of farming over the centuries. 

The T Barn

The site is spacious - around four acres for just ten pitches - and comprises pasture edged by woodland. We welcome tents, campervans and caravans and are happy for you to make a campfire (you will find stone ‘grates’ around the site).

Pitch occupation is limited to 5 people, one vehicle and one large tent (awnings and small ancillary tents not included).

Please book additional pitches if your party exceeds any of these maximums.

We have lots of space so allow you to choose your spot - we’re sure you’ll find somewhere just right.

Bibury is a famously beautiful village in the heart of the Cotswolds. Our campsite has views across the Coln Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is on farmland, a short walk from the heart of the village along peaceful footpaths.

The site is spacious - around four acres for just ten pitches - and comprises pasture edged by woodland. We welcome tents, campervans and caravans and are happy for you to make a campfire (you will find stone ‘grates’ around the site).

We have converted a horsebox into two high quality composting toilets and two hot water shower cubicles. It has step-free access. On the area of hard-standing, there are also electricity points and open-air stainless steel sinks with worktops. There are recycling facilities near the entrance.

As we are also a working sheep farm we’re afraid we’re unable to welcome dogs. 

Bibury Camping is a member of the Greener Camping Club, which is a network of premium quality campsites offering outstanding, environmentally-friendly camping in truly beautiful settings.

**Andrew's field is beautiful and idyllic but has limited facilities, it has a tap for drinking water, and waste water disposal point (ELSan). There is no electricity on site. **

The best things about the field:
Peaceful and unspoiled
Close to nature -wild deer often wander through the filed to drink from the river. The field is an excellent place for bird watching; Kingfishers, Cuckoos and Woodpeckers are regularly seen. We have a Little Owl in the area which is a little more elusive. 
If you camp you can fish for free on the River Avon.
You can launch Kayaks/ canoes directly from the field into the river Avon - a great place to start your adventure. 
Family run - the field is run by Andrew and his family who are thrilled that campers take joy in the beauty of their field, they can give you local hints and tips and are always happy to help. 
Camp fires are allowed - so it properly feels like camping. 
The field is still a hidden gem and therefore does not get overcrowded.
The field has beautiful vistas in all directions and is South facing so warms up nicely when the sun is out whilst benefiting from the cooling breeze from the river. 
You can walk to three pubs from the campsite.
​
The limited facilities means it is most suited to caravans and campervans however if you have a tent and a camping toilet you are welcome to come.
