  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • A 10-minute drive from the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • Pub site with beer garden; many country walks nearby
Hurrah, a pub site, and what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local food and traditional ales and ciders at reasonable prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy five-minute drive from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within 10 minutes' drive and the Forest of Dean 50 minutes away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and a shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

Steven t. 1 review

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked location if traveling to visit local attractions
good atmosphere even with large family groups close by our pitch
e h u included in the price
local nature reserve close by
pitch was level
liked the shower family rooms

Disliked pitch size was small
no privacy from pitch next door, hedge only on one side of pitch
slight road noise, but you are next to A38
public footpaths not found easily even though it described as walkers paradise
toilet and shower block need updating
although site says no awnings cause of pitch size some were attached to vans
also there was a strong smell of weed being smoked near by

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

Would just like to add, public footpath is labelled on the site map and there are many walking signs on the footpath, Hardstanding is no awnings, we allow sun canopies as long as they are not intruding onto other pitches, we do not tolerate drug use on site and are very strict with this and we are a small campsite and limited for space to expand pitches, depending on people’s set ups there is always plenty of room.

I was not informed at any time of these issues and most could have been rectified promptly. When any guest has an issue they need to report it to the warden straight away. We also have a lot of knowledge of the area and can give advice if needed.

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 40 minutes' drive away, too.) WWT Slimbridge (10 minutes) gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn (five minutes), said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the river Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, (40 minutes), and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo Garden (half an hour); be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season. Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum (25 minutes); Woodchester Mansion Trust (20 minutes), an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland, and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (10 minutes), thought to be the place where poor old Edward II saw his last day.
