Overview

Set in South East England’s Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Oxfordshire market town of Chipping Norton is known for its rolling hills and limestone structures. Chipping Norton also offers campsites, caravan parks, glamping sites, and cabin rentals with convenient access to Cotswold AONB and surrounding attractions. Nearby North Wessex Downs AONB’s ancient chalk landscapes and dark skies offer campers a unique experience less than an hour south of Chipping Norton. To the west, caravan campers can stay at motorhome clubs next to iconic mountain ranges and South Wales’ highest mountain peak, Pen y Fan, in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.

Where to go

Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Often called “the walking and exploring capital of England,” Cotswolds AONB encompasses the town of Chipping Norton and other small English villages. View water voles, otters, and brown hares while trekking along Cotswold Way National Trail, which stretches over 160 kilometres. Cotswolds camping, campervan parks, glamping sites, safari tents, and holiday rentals are available throughout the area with dog-friendly pitches and amenities like electric hookups, showers, heated outdoor pools, and licensed pubs.

North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

South of Chipping Norton, North Wessex Downs AONB offers walking, cycling, and horseback riding along quiet roads and bridle paths. Ridgeway National Trail, noted as Britain’s oldest road, is a 137-kilometre trackway in North Wessex. Stop by Snelsmore Common’s picnic area or Savernake Forest, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), before settling down under a star-filled sky. Privately-run campsites, caravan parks, and glamping sites are sprinkled throughout the area, and include fully-equipped grass pitches, yurts, and places to park the motorhome.

Bannau Brycheiniog National Park

Diverse landscapes and four mountain ranges stretch over 800 square kilometres from the English border in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, also known as Brecon Beacons. Climb the park’s highest peak, Pen y Fan, or walk along Neath Port Talbot’s calming canals to spot butterflies, otters, and reed warblers. Campsites, caravan parks, glamping pods, and motorhome clubs include amenities such as electric hookups, showers, and laundry facilities. From deep caves to mountain peaks, rolling hills and waterfalls, Bannau Brycheiniog has it all.

When to go

Campers visit Chipping Norton year-round, though winters are typically long, cold, and mostly cloudy. Temperatures rarely drop below -4°C with some potential for light snowfall.
