This waterpark occupies a substantial lake on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, right by the village of Twyning, and you'll find it easy to access from the M5 motorway.
Tewkesbury sits just a short drive away, making it a convenient spot whether you're planning a day trip or a longer stay.
The lake itself is the draw here, offering a proper range of watersports for anyone keen to get on the water. Sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking are all on offer, along with open-water swimming. If you're new to any of these activities, they provide both equipment hire and tuition, so there's no barrier to giving something a go. The site also runs camping and caravan facilities, which means you can base yourself here for several days if you want to make a real break of it.
What's genuinely useful about Croft Farm is how it shifts your Cotswolds experience. You're not obligated to spend every moment wandering through stone villages—you can actually be quite active outdoors, or alternatively just sit by the water and relax. Tewkesbury's minutes away with its abbey and established market town feel, while Gloucester and Cheltenham are near enough if you need proper shopping or restaurants. It's an effective way to combine outdoor activity with everything else the region offers.
