  • Green and spacious park in Gloucestershire
  • On-site restaurant famous for its excellent food
  • Seven miles to Sharpness Canal and Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust
Greenery and space are on the menu at The Pepper Pot Caravan Park near Dursley in Gloucestershire, which is kept tiptop by its on-site and friendly wardens, who live in and are to hand for any advice or help needed by Pepper Potters during their stay. Facilities are well-maintained and in a purpose-built shower and loo block; an indoor washing-up area and a coin-operated washing machine are also on site. But the best part of The Pepper Pot? Its on-site bar and bistro, The Pepper Pot pub, with decently priced home-cooked meals using the best of local ingredients from local suppliers, such as salads, burgers and quality matured steaks. (If you think your little mover and shaker won't fancy a steak, they have plenty to pick from on the children's menu.)

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained site with spacious pitches and excellent facilities, particularly the shower block. Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The on-site pub receives positive mentions for its food and atmosphere. Proximity to the M5 motorway means some road noise is present, though many guests found it minimal. Security features like coded gates and locked toilet blocks are in place.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Big well sheltered pitches, we were there in the winter so no leaves on the hedges but I can imagine in the summer they are very private pitches. Lovely hot water!! Including the washing up area!! Very handy pub next door, but check the opening times

paul j.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the pepper pot caravan site,the site is clean secure,and has water and 16 amp hook up on your pitch,and the pitch itself was a good size,that we found ours to be fairly level.
The shower was clean,hot and had ample room (maybe could do with a stool)and the two toilets were well kept
Ok you have a railway line and the M5 is either side of the site,but we didn't find this to be a problem.
The pepper pot onsite pub serves excellent homemade food at decent prices,and good choice of beers,also it was the feel of a cosy country pub,with cheerful staff.
A great choice to spend our new year's eve.

Disliked Nothing !

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Very large pitches, easy access, clean showers, pleasant staff.

Disliked I'm not usually a light sleeper, but I did wake up early due to the traffic noise nearby. It wouldn't stop me staying again though, if I was in the area.

Local attractions

The Pepper Pot Caravan Park is in a decent spot to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire and its surrounds, particularly for those who like their wildlife or historic homes. Plenty of other activities and attractions can be found within ten miles. Two golf clubs are within a quick drive, the Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club two and a half miles away and the Cotswold Edge Golf Club within five. Also within a short drive are Berkeley Castle and the Vale of Berkeley (two and a half miles) and the Cattle Country Adventure Park (two miles) for yee-haw adventuring. Wildlife types have the River Severn Estuary and the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust to explore within six and seven miles respectively, with more species to see at Oldown Country Park eight miles away; wildfowl and other critters along the nearby Gloucester to Sharpness Canal, and Dean Forest and the Wye Valley 11 miles from base. More into historic homes, local history or greenery? Take your Pepper Pot pick from the National Trust's Woodchester Mansion and park or Westbury Court Gardens (seven and 11 miles); Chavenage House and the National Arboretum at Westonbirt (both ten miles), or the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks 16 miles away. The Pepper Pot team also recommends a punt at Chepstow Racecourse, 11 miles away; a look at the longest village green in England at Frampton On Severn nine and a half miles away, or a dip at Dursley Pool and Sports Centre within five and a half miles. For day trips, sink into some shopping and sightseeing at Bristol or spa city Bath.
