About Big Skies - Cotswold Glamping
Perched in gentle Gloucestershire countryside near Cheltenham, Big Skies delivers exactly what its name promises: sweeping views across rolling hills that guests consistently single out as a highlight. The site offers a mix of spacious grass pitches for your own tent and ready-pitched safari tents and bell tents, all well-maintained and thoughtfully spaced. Kitchen facilities earn particular praise – including fridges and kettles – while hot showers and flushing toilets keep things civilised after a day exploring the Cotswolds.
Campfires are welcomed here, adding to the atmosphere on clear evenings, and dogs can join you on certain pitches. Friendly hosts sometimes arrange pizza nights or breakfast deliveries, though you're equally well set up to self-cater. It's a solid, well-run base that manages to feel both relaxed and reliably comfortable.

What visitors say
I stayed on one of the 5 (diy) tent pitches. It was the neatest and most spacious tent pitch that I've had in 50 years of camping. The kitchen facilities were the best I've experienced too. Everything was clean and working, with a kettle, a sink, a big fridge - and plenty of space to sit and eat in inclement weather. I recommend a walk on the adjacent and scenic Cotswolds Way. This is a super campsite in a lovely setting and all at a very good price too. Many thanks to Vicki and the team.

My family and I had such a wonderful time at big skies. We stayed in a bell tent, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The communal facilities were more than adequate. The highlight for us was watching the sun set whilst toasting marshmallows over the log fire. We would return without hesitation.

We hired the whole site for a hen do and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Vicky was so responsive to all my queries and helped make the weekend run smoothly. It was so helpful having the option to have a pizza night (which were very tasty) and include breakfast. The accommodation was very comfortable and there were great spaces for everything we wanted to do, including a picnic area, a fire pit (marshmallows provided!) and big open spaces for games, not to mention the amazing views! I would 100% recommend, we had a wonderful weekend.

I used Big Skies Glamping for my Hen Do as I love camping but my friends aren't big fans. This was the perfect crossover. I and the bridal party all slept in the yurt, my friends stayed in the bell tents, and those less outdoorsy stayed in the safari lodges. We had sole use of the site. Vicki was wonderful, really quick to answer questions and was helpful in suggesting local providers, and her and her family even cooked us pizzas on the second night (paid for, but what a service!). I am coming back!
