Camping

Wake up steps from a proper pub

Our 24-pitch campsite sits in the field right behind The Cottage of Content, with the River Avon a short stroll away.

Camping, done the easy way

Everything you need, close at hand

No trekking for miles to find a shop or a shower. At The Cottage of Content, everything you need is on site or a short walk away - including a kitchen serving home-cooked food and a bar pulling proper real ales.

We have 24 pitches with electric hook-up, hot showers and a wash-up area, so whether you're in a tent, a campervan or a caravan you're covered. Dogs are welcome throughout, and there's plenty to keep the children busy too.

Stay a night, a weekend or a week. Longer stays and group bookings are no trouble at all - give us a ring and we'll sort it between us.

  • 24 pitches, all with electric hook-up

Your local, right outside the tent

The pub is your campsite kitchen

Skip the camping stove - walk over to the pub instead. We serve home-cooked pub food with a twist, Cask Marque real ales, and a Sunday roast worth setting an alarm for.

There's a vegetarian section on the card and the kitchen will adapt where it can, so everyone in your group is covered.

While you're here

A good base for the whole of south Warwickshire

Barton sits on the Avon between Bidford and Stratford, which puts a surprising amount within easy reach of your pitch.

The River Avon

A few minutes' walk from the field, with footpaths in both directions.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Twenty minutes by car - the theatre, the Shakespeare houses and the river boats.

Bidford-on-Avon

Shops, a post office and a chip shop, a short drive or a decent walk away.

The Cotswolds

The northern edge of the Cotswolds starts just down the road.

Booking

Book your pitch online

Pitches are booked through our online booking system - pick your dates, choose your pitch type, and you're set. Questions about group bookings or longer stays? Give us a call and we'll sort it.

Pitch bookings open in a separate booking system. Table bookings for the pub are handled separately - book a table here.

Camp for the weekend, stay for the festival

Time it right and catch Bartonfest

Every summer we turn the field into a full festival weekend - live bands, an outside bar and food off the trailer, with camping right there so nobody has to drive home.

Pitches for festival weekends go early, so it's worth booking as soon as the dates are announced.
