  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • Many country walks nearby
  • Pub site with beer garden
Hurrah, a pub site! And what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this, pub site peeps: 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 nosh and traditional ales and ciders at decent 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 ten minutes 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 three miles and the Forest of Dean eight miles 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 shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, clean, and peaceful campsite with friendly and helpful staff. Pitches are generally spacious and offer privacy, many with riverside locations. Facilities, particularly the individual bathrooms, are consistently praised for their cleanliness and quality. The adjacent pub is a popular bonus, offering good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Easy access from the M5 makes it ideal for stopovers, though some mention road noise. The site is well-equipped for families, with a play area noted as a highlight.

WILL P.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Pitch.
Pub next door… with kids play area.
Friendly staff.
Decent clean shower block.
Small size of site.
Location… easy to find and get into.

Disliked Position of tap to refill motor home water.. had to block road to access the tap.
Limited hours of check in available. Be warned, there is a barrier that needs to be opened to let tall vehicles in/out so movement times are restricted to some extent. Check times!
Be warned about the nearby open water.. a consideration with children.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very friendly staff on gate / reception. Pitch sizes okay

Disliked Porta loos for those further away from toilet / shower block.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, I just want to confirm the porter loos are temporary due to no water on site last week, there are 2 toilets further down where the grey waste and elsan point is which are fully functioning (in the middle of the site)

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, 20 miles away, too.) Two miles away, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Slimbridge reserve 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, 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, seven miles away, and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo garden eight miles away (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, ten miles away; Woodchester Mansion, an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland (four and half miles), and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (five miles), thought to be the place where poor old Edward Two saw his last day.
