Camping in Warwick

Camping around Warwick means trading the town's Georgian streets for the wider Warwickshire countryside, though nothing here is ever far from the castle. The county's gently rolling farmland, the Avon Valley and the Grand Union Canal towpaths give campers a genuinely rural base within a few miles of Warwick, Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon, without the premium prices of accommodation inside the towns themselves.

Sites in the area range from a long-established touring club campsite set within the grounds of Warwick Racecourse itself, walkable into town, to quieter countryside farms offering pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes alongside glamping options such as bell tents and safari tents for those without their own kit. A little further out towards Stratford-upon-Avon, riverside sites make the most of the Avon Valley's water meadows, offering a genuinely peaceful setting that still keeps Warwick, Stratford and Leamington Spa within easy reach by car.

Facilities vary from simple, well-kept touring pitches with electric hook-up and modern shower blocks to family-run farms with dog-friendly fields and glamping options alongside standard pitches. Booking ahead is sensible through the summer months and especially around Warwick's race meetings and the Royal Shakespeare Company's Stratford season, when demand for pitches across south Warwickshire rises sharply.
