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.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Very quiet and spacious. You can choose anywhere to set up your tent, ground is completely flat, no limit on tent size, wifi included, clean facilities and hot showers. Lovely addition with fridge and freezer to store our food. Dog friendly too. Tractor ride for the kids is nice little bonus. We lost our frisbee to the neighbouring field and the owner managed to get it back for us. Won’t hesitate to return when we come back to this part of the country.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything, the site was immaculate, the toilet block so clean and well stocked with toilet paper, even sanitary towels and tampons, air freshener and hand wash. The showers are immaculate with lockable cubicles with shower curtains inside so your clothes don't get sprayed and even had a long sqeegie to clean up the wet floor. The washing up facilities and fantastic, there are fridges and freezers which makes stocking up much easier. The site is quiet and had privacy but was close enough being a short drive to a large industrial estate with loads of shops. The site itself is flat with uninterrupted sky views and no light pollution. There is a small cafe and you can order breakfast for the following morning and a few supplies. We had an electric pitch. We will definitely be back next year as it's a perfect site to stay on if visiting "Forest Fantasy. renaissance fayre"

Disliked: Nothing to dislike except if you are a person who needs evening entertainment. There is a pub a couple of miles walk away but other than that perfect peace (which was great for us)

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.
