Hardstanding pitches with electric (added by manager 30 mar 2023)

Local wildlife (added by manager 12 jun 2023)

We have 3 cosy glamping pods (added by manager 04 jan 2022)

Adults-only park a couple of minutes' drive from the M5
Use as an overnight stopover or as a base for Cheltenham or Gloucester
Landscaped with mature shrubs, hedges and trees

Apart from a possible pitch on a tower block in the middle of a city, Briarfields Touring Park might be the most ‘leave your car at home’ site we’ve seen yet. Ditch the diesel guzzler or leave the motorhome on site and hitch a ride on one of the regular buses that pass right outside, leading to days’ worth of days out at Cheltenham (two miles away), Gloucester (six miles), Oxford, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds. And if you’re getting around under your own steam, the friendly family team at Briarfields can pick you up from local public transport when you arrive. Even on your own feet you’ll reach most of what you need quickly from the park: a pub and a newsagent are within a few minutes’ walk; an Indian restaurant, KFC and supermarket less than 15 minutes – and a caravan sales and spares dealership is a mile and a half away, just in case. Although Briarfields is only a couple of minutes from the M5 (it’s often used by guests on their way north or south as an overnight stopover), it’s been rather cleverly designed so you can think you’re slap bang in the middle of the countryside: the landscaped and the accommodation areas are edged throughout with mature shrubs, hedges and trees. Amenities are equally well looked after: the centrally placed amenities block is cleaned twice a day and has free hot showers for ladies, gents and disabled guests. Swing into reception when you arrive at Briarfields for reams of info, leaflets and maps on the many (many) things to do a bus ride away: buses run every ten minutes during the day and every 20 minutes in the evening to both Cheltenham and Gloucester, and another service to Oxford will give explorers about six hours in the city before heading back to Cheltenham. Briarfields is open all year round and is dog-friendly.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Toilet and bathroom were spotless and very modern. Very close to Cheltenham and conveniently located next to the bus stops.

Disliked: Located next to a busy road. For us not a problem, but good to know. Not the most cosy spot, but location and facilities totally make up for that.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: This place is spotless, the pit he's are a good size and the toilet and shower blocks are really clean.

Disliked: We got quite a bit of road noise from the A40, the pitch we had backed onto the edge separating the site from the main road.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Was ok would not go back

Disliked: Disabled toilet and shower disgusting pitches were too close together

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review of our park Sandy. We are so saddened to receive such a negative review. We would have welcomed the opportunity to have met and chatted with you in reception during the 7 days you were with us. If we had been aware that you were unhappy with your pitch we would have been more than happy to move you to a different pitch. Our washrooms are deep cleaned every day with supplementary cleans in between so I'm struggling to understand your comments. The majority of our guests compliment us on the cleanliness of our washrooms as you can see from previous reviews and feedback. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us at Briarfields and we would like to wish you many happy camping days elsewhere in the future. All the Best, The Briarfields Team

Local attractions

Well. Where do we start? At least a day in Cheltenham first, we think – more if you’re coming to have a flutter at the racecourse just four miles away or jazzing it up at one of the many festivals. Catch the bus early to take in as much as poss: a morning coveting the art, furniture, crafts and jewellery at Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum, many created by Cotswold craftspeople inspired by William Morris, should build up an appetite for lunch and an afternoon of shopping around The Brewery, Bath Road and in the well-lined High Street. Harry Potter fans and the history-inclined will likely want an hour or two at medieval Gloucester Cathedral, used in the first and second films (see if you recognise the Cloisters). Away from Hogwarts, the cathedral has an award-winning exhibition centre, exhibitions and guided tours, and regular events and concerts including The Three Choirs Festival, one of the oldest classical choral music festivals in the world. The Gloucester Docks and award-winning Waterways Museum is also a good afternoon out for heritage fans, while the more modern can find plenty to occupy them at the waterside retail park Gloucester Quays. Plunge into the countryside next for a couple of days in the Cotswolds, where you’ll find acres of things to do whatever your inclination such as punting around local villages like Chipping Camden and Bourton-on-the-Water, or visiting the many museums ranging from Roman to motoring times. Wildlife options abound too, particularly for birders, with the Cotswold Falconry Centre at the Batsford Arboretum, geese and swans at Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and Birdland Park and Gardens in Bourton-on-the-Water where twitchers can see rare birds from around the world, including England’s only group of king penguins. Finally, take a day or two in the ancient Forest of Dean (Harry Potter and co ended up here too), one of the oldest woodlands in the country, to go underground at the old mines of the Clearwell Caves, hire a bike to hit the forest tracks, or, more relaxingly, take the four and a half mile trip from Lydney to Parkend on the Dean Forest Railway.
