Camping at Oakfield Farm (Tent Pitch)

Fancy combining a spot of wild camping in farm fields with the chance to befriend Shire horses? Set in peaceful South Gloucestershire countryside, the grass pitches at Camping at Oakfield Farm may be just what you’re after.

This family-friendly spot is well away from the road on a working heavy horse farm. Guests here have the opportunity to step back in time and see the owners working the land traditionally with their horses.

There are lots of other animals to spot on the farm, including Smudge the Shetland pony and lots of friendly ducks. Animal meet-and-greets, feeding sessions and heavy horse experiences are available on request too.

The farm’s peaceful vibe belies the fact that it is only half an hour’s drive from Bristol, mellow-stone Cotswold villages or Westonbirt, The National Arboretum. However, if you’re here to potter around the local countryside, there are many local walks to explore, including a few through the neighbouring alpaca farm.

No need to climb back into the car if you fancy eating out either, as a five-minute walk across the farm fields takes you to the local pub and beer garden in Rangeworthy village for tasty home-cooked food – there’s also an Indian restaurant and takeaway.

If you’re cooking your own food on site, fresh hens eggs are included in the price of your stay.

This site has no on-site shower facilities.
