  • Small, friendly campsite on a family-run Gloucestershire farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Gloucester; 20 minutes to Cheltenham
  • Established site since 1946; easy access from the M5
There’s been a campsite at Gables Farm Touring and Camping since way back in 1946… and with a history like that, you can be sure the team here have learnt a thing or two along the way about what makes a good place to stay. The essence of this small, family-run Gloucestershire site is to keep things simple but well done. Bathroom facilities are bright, clean and spacious, with toilets and showers, and there’s also a washing-up area and chemical disposal point for guests to use. And because no good day ever started without a decent breakfast, you can also pick up fresh free-range eggs on site too. Of course, it helps that this is a rather fine location too: in the Severn Vale about 15 minutes’ drive from the centre of Gloucester, and close to the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is just off the A38 and with easy access from the M5 (both northbound and southbound), so getting out and about should be straightforward. Eats and drinks should be in good supply around here, too – if you don’t fancy the trip to Gloucester there are pubs in Whitminster (two minutes’ drive) and Frampton on Severn (10 minutes), or you could venture to the lovely town of Stroud (15 minutes).

What customers say

This is an exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite with modern, spotless toilet and shower facilities. Visitors consistently praise the warm, friendly, and helpful owners. The site is secure with gated access and offers spacious, level pitches. It's conveniently located for stopovers near the M5 and exploring local areas, though some mention slight traffic noise. A highly recommended site for a comfortable and secure stay.

Dawn B.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful campsite on a tidy working farm. This site had the most spotless toilet/shower block.
Only 6 Mike's outside Gloucester city centre with a bus stop not far from the entrance.
Opportunity to purchase free range eggs from the owners.

Just off the M5 names it a great stopover when travelling from the north to Cornwall.

ANDREW B.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked This site was a fantastic stopover for one night as we continued the next day on our trip to Staffordshire from Cornwall. Sam warmly greeted us and took us to our excellent level grass pitch. The site was exceptionally clean and the toilet and shower block was the cleanest and most modern one we have seen in all our travels. The site is secured by a large gate with keypad access so no one can access the site one of the most secure sites we have stayed on. The chickens wandering around and fresh eggs was a nice feature. We would recommend this site to everyone

Disliked no dislikes the site was a hidden gem

Local attractions

Keen to experience a bit more of that farming life? Take the kids to Cattle Country Farm Park (15 minutes’ drive) for hands-on activities with the lambs, goats, pigs and rabbits plus all sorts of other fun things including miniature golf, a splash pool, a maize maze and a couple of play barns. Meanwhile, if you prefer open spaces and wildlife, head to WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre (15 minutes) to see what kind of birds you can spot. Around these parts are also several smart rural estates – if you’ve got an eye for a fancy historic house, aim for 12th-century Berkeley Castle or the 19th-century Gothic splendour of Woodchester Mansion (both 20 minutes). Green-fingered guests may instead prefer a wander along the paths of Painswick Rococo Garden (20 minutes). Gloucester (15 minutes) and Cheltenham (20 minutes) are both worth a visit while you’re in the area – and in between the two is the Jet Age Museum (20 minutes), with a fab collection of vintage planes and other aviation memorabilia.
