  • 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.

What customers say

Briarfields offers clean, well-maintained pitches with friendly staff and excellent facilities, including spotless shower blocks. Its convenient location provides easy access to Cheltenham and Gloucester via nearby bus routes, though some guests note occasional road noise due to its proximity to main roads and an airport. The adult-only atmosphere and dog-friendly areas are appreciated.

The Beeches fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked This is at the top of our list of fabulous caravan sites. Pity we only stopped 1 night on our way back home from Cornwall to the Midlands. Such a lovely well kept site, loved the wicker statues. The toilet and shower blocks were immaculate, lots of information available about the local area. The pitch was very generous, it was lovely just chilling by our motorhome.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we’re absolutely delighted that Briarfields has made it to the top of your list of favourite sites.

It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed the spacious pitch, immaculate facilities and peaceful atmosphere, even though your stay was only for one night. We’re also pleased that the wicker sculptures caught your eye, they’ve certainly become popular with many of our guests!

We really appreciate your kind comments about the information provided around the local area, and it’s great to know you were able to relax and enjoy some time by your motorhome.

Thank you also for recommending us to your motorhome hire company, that is such a fantastic compliment and means a great deal to us.

We’re delighted to hear you’re planning to return and try one of our camping pods. We look forward to welcoming you back to Briarfields later in the year.

Best Wishes,
The Briarfields Team

Luke S. 1 review

The Beeches fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Great pitch with electric hook up, no issues when calling and letting them know we would be late, took the registration of the van and the ANPR system let us in fine.
Shower, toilet and laundry facilities were very clean and ample for all of our needs.

Disliked Road noise was quite loud throughout the night and in the morning, especially at rush hour but this was the only downside and bearable if you’re only staying a night

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind review, Luke, we’re really glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It’s great to hear that the late arrival process worked smoothly and that you found the facilities clean and well set up for your visit. Our team works hard to keep everything in top condition, so your comments mean a lot.

We do appreciate your note about the road noise as well, we understand it can be more noticeable at certain times, and we’re always looking at ways to improve the overall experience.

Neal C. 3 reviews

The Beeches fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Wow what a park. Friendly reception. Adult only site with plenty of room for me to park up and set up. Amazing facilities a short walk away from my allocated plot and so clean. Easy access to local areas. I really couldn’t believe my luck staying at this park

Disliked Park is near a motorway and on occasion can be heard but you soon zone out and don’t notice.

From the manager: Dear Neal,

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay on The Beeches pitch and found the park spacious, spotless, and welcoming. It’s great to hear our location worked well for exploring the area too.

We appreciate your note about the nearby motorway and glad it didn’t spoil your visit.

We look forward to seeing you again!

Mark W. 1 review

The Beeches fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Cleaness flowers wooden bear fox ect

Disliked Being on pitch B2 it was behind the washroom for dishes and toilets it’s very noisey and people have to walk passed constantly for washing up area or toilets and showers not much privacy being there

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Mark,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. Both positive and constructive comments are always welcome, as they help us improve what we offer. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the cleanliness, flowers, and little touches around the site.

I’m very sorry to hear that Pitch B2 did not suit your needs. It is one of our most popular pitches due to its location close to the facilities, but I completely understand how this may have felt less private for you. I do wish you had come to reception during your stay, as we would have been more than happy to offer you an alternative pitch.

We planted hedging around The Beeches last winter to create more privacy, though sadly much of it has struggled with the lack of rain since March. We will continue working on ways to improve screening, and it’s always helpful if guests let us know their preferences in the “special instructions” when booking, so we can do our best to meet them.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we wish you all the very best for your future travels.

Warm Regards,
Jo and the Team

The Beeches fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked This camp is probably one of the most organised camps we have stopped at, the check in at reception was quick and straight forward, the amenities were clean and tidy, pitches were nice and big and plenty of room between them, WiFi free and good, camp easy to find just off the M5, short bus journey to Cheltenham and Gloucester right outside the camp entrance,

Disliked It didn't bother us but just bare in mind there are quite a few airplanes flying over quite late and early in the morning.

From the manager: Dear Rachel,

Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re so pleased to hear you found the site well organised and appreciated the spacious pitches, clean facilities, and convenient location with easy transport links. It’s great to know the WiFi and check-in process helped make your stay even smoother.

We really value your kind feedback and are delighted you’d like to return. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

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.
