Fully serviced hard standing touring pitches inclusive of electric

Hard-standing pitches inclusive of electricity

We love seeing the first signs of spring

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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely site very clean, the toilet and shower block especially, good all round facility's. Good level pitches. Very nice staff.

Disliked: little noisy from main road just out outside the site, and a knew one for us Planes and helicopters taking off and landing throughout the day!!
We feel the price was a little high bearing that in mind.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Peter,

Thank you very much for your recent review and for choosing to stay with us in May. We're really pleased to hear you found the site clean and well-kept, especially the toilet and shower facilities, and that you appreciated the level pitches and the friendliness of our team.

We do understand your comments regarding the road and occasional air traffic noise. Our location is clearly shown on the website, so we hope guests are aware of the surroundings before booking. That said, one of the advantages of our position is the excellent transport links, including a 24-hour bus service right outside the gate with direct routes to both Cheltenham and Gloucester - a convenience many of our guests really value.

Best Wishes,
The Briarfields Team

Kevin W. May 2025

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Cleanliness of toilet/shower block, the foliage and greenery etc on the park, the friendliness of the staff.
The ease of access from the main road and the proximity to Cheltenham.

Disliked: Some (not all) in our group found the noise from the main road to be intrusive, especially when the early traffic got going in the morning. Also some (not all) felt that the pitches were a bit too 'on top of each other', so lacked an element of privacy.

Andrea M. May 2025

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely gem of a site, we was travelling from Cornwall to Manchester, and like to stop en route. Perfect position just off the M5, lovely welcome at reception. Pitch size was very generous. Facilities at the site immaculate. Bus stop outside the site that takes you straight into Cheltenham centre, runs very frequently even through the night.
A little bit of road noise and from the nearby airport.
All in all a lovely stay

Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Hi Andrea,

Thank you so much for your kind words - we’re absolutely delighted you enjoyed your stay with us!

It’s great to hear our location worked well for your journey and that you found the site clean, welcoming, and convenient. We’re especially pleased you appreciated the generous pitch, spotless facilities, and the bus service into Cheltenham; it really does make getting around so easy, day or night.

A little road and airport noise can occasionally come with the convenience of good transport links, but we’re really glad it didn’t take away from your overall enjoyment.

Thanks again for your lovely review.

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.
