Award-winning Gloucestershire farm site with Malvern Hills views
A 10-minute drive to Tewkesbury; 20 minutes to Gloucester Cathedral
Tractor tours of the animals; on-site café and occasional restaurant

Fans of animal antics, step this way… stay at award-winning Elmwicke Campsite and you'll be on a working farm surrounded by a flock of Jacob sheep, a herd of rare-breed Gloucester cattle, and the Pygmy goats Mabel and Martha, plus Bacon the pig. As you can probably tell, this spot in the Severn Vale is a proper rural retreat, with fabulous views of the Malverns and Bredon Hill to boost your Gloucestershire break. Site owners (and carers to all those animals) Jon and Ruth opened up the site in 2012; they're fourth-generation farmers and you’ll see them at some point during your stay, whether that’s welcoming you in, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good old natter. The campsite is a seven-acre flat field where you can choose your own pitch, and camp together if you’re with friends or family. There’s plenty of space for games of cricket, rugby, football, rounders or flying kites, and the owners are more than happy to take guests on a tractor-trailer ride around the fields to visit the animals. Alongside men’s and women’s loos, the amenities block also has showers and a family room with baby-changing facilities. To help you with keeping everybody clean and tidy, there’s also a laundry area with a washing machine. An on-site café is open for breakfast rolls, pastries and fresh coffee to get you going in the morning, and on some nights you can eat at the pop-up restaurant that's run by a fab local caterer. If you’d rather be self-sufficient, barbecues are allowed on site, and you can order meat packs from the farm, as well as hiring firepits and buying bags of wood, which are delivered daily.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Everything! Despite it being a busy June weekend, there was plenty of space between the pitches, and a fantastic, huge space left for ball games in the centre of the field. Facilities were excellent, and it was lovely to be able to get a coffee and snacks from the cafe. Ruth was so friendly and helpful

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious site without pre-marked pitches and very relaxed, so we were able to choose the best place to be out of the wind. Lovely clean and well equipped faciliites. Friendly owners who have obviously really thought about how to make this a great campsite.

Thank you Ruth for your suggestion of walking on Cleeve Hill and parking at the golf club, we did a lovely 3 hour walk.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. It would be nice to think that one day there will be some trees growing on the very large field to give a bit of landscaping - there are already some planted.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Very clear arrival instructions. Big spacious site with choice of pitches. New bathroom block very clean and tidy. Simple site but perfect for my needs.

Disliked Lots of narrow drainage ditches running across site. I'm sure these are needed to manage rainfall but could do with some information / warning about them for anyone a bit wobbly on their feet

Local attractions

Gather the kids up for games of mini-golf at Sherdons Golf Centre’s Pirate Adventure (five minutes’ drive), or let them have a look at the Harry Potter film locations in Gloucester Cathedral (20 minutes). They can follow treasure trails at Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean (both 50 minutes), where you can also hike forest paths or up the activity levels and get some cycling in. Keen for more exercise? Have a go at skiing or tubing at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, or head for Sandford Parks Lido in Cheltenham (both 25 minutes), with its gorgeous Art Deco architecture and two outdoor pools to cool off in on sunny days. Mooch around indie shops in Tewkesbury (10 minutes), where you can also visit the historic abbey, grab an ice-cream or relax on a boat trip along the Severn and Avon rivers. Mellow-stone Cotswolds towns to add to your itinerary include Broadway (half an hour) for its delightful architecture and design museums, and Stow-on-the-Wold (40 minutes) for its cracking selection of antique shops.
