A straightforward camping site near Hanwell that welcomes scout groups and anyone serious about a proper outdoor experience.
Horley Scout Camp operates on the principle that you're here for nature and companionship rather than luxury, with space to pitch tents, build campfires, and engage in the kind of traditional camp activities—skills learning, group challenges, outdoor time—that define genuine camping life. The facilities are basic but functional and purposefully designed that way.
The North Cotswolds landscape around the camp rolls gently, and you've got good access to local footpaths for exploring beyond the immediate site. Walking routes branch out into the wider countryside, making this a solid base if you want to discover the area on foot. The camp's history runs deep in scouting tradition, and that ethos of developing people through outdoor experience continues to shape how it operates.
When you need supplies or want to experience a proper town, Banbury is a short drive away with shops, cafes, and a train station. Chipping Norton and Shipston-on-Stour are equally accessible for day trips, offering easy ways to experience more of the region—particularly its independent shops and local character—without straying far from camp.
