  • 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, friendly campsite offering peaceful riverside pitches, many with privacy hedges and picnic tables. Facilities, particularly the shower and toilet blocks, are consistently praised as excellent, clean, and spacious. The adjacent George Inn pub is a significant bonus, serving good food and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Easy access from the M5 makes it ideal for stopovers and exploring the local area. The site is also well-equipped for families with a play area.

Electric grass pitch

Liked I met up with family and it was an ideal site for our two campervans with enough room to use both awnings for a camp in the middle of them. Private and a fairly quiet site during the day - very quiet at night.
Also had a nice meal in The George pub.
Georgia was lovely - really helpful and was still at the end of the phone even on her day off! Thank you so much

Liked Marked pitches, feeling of privacy with space around at the same time, good conveniences, little walks for the dog, proximity to pub, and park. Ease of use of barrier - safety that offers in security.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We had booked 3 nights but did not stay because the pitches were way too close together, the reviews suggested otherwise, they were very misleading. I would highly recommend you review all reviews for the past 7 years as that will make it clear that that in peak times you will have no privacy.

Disliked We had booked 3 nights but did not stay because the pitches were way too close together, the reviews suggested otherwise, they were very misleading. I would highly recommend you review all reviews for the past 7 years as that will make it clear that that in peak times you will have no privacy. If you have a dog, just consider you may have a breed staying in the pitch next to that your dog may not be agreeable to your dog. Overall highly dissapointed to pre pay for 3 nights in advance for an inadequate pitch and absolutely no empathy from the site in the form of moving our pitch or reimbursing some of the pre payment. So dissapointing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good location for some nice walks and stop off on the way to and from the coast. Clean site and friendly staff. We had a grass touring pitch but found with two campervans with awnings it was a bit cramped. Next time we would go for a large hard standing pitch. The pub was very clean and nice for a cheeky beer. We had an evening meal which was ok but no coffee at breakfast as the machine was broken and a bit of a wait for it to arrive. We were lucky to have lovely neighbours next to us and opposite and enjoyed lots of relaxing chats outside and dogs playing together.

Disliked Just the pitch size was a little bit too small for 2 vans with awnings

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

I just wanted to add for people that book in the future, our pitch size is 5m x 8m at the maximum and when booking you need to take into consideration the size of your awnings as well as your unit size.

Our XL pitches are great for larger vehicles and set ups.

Lovely location with a great pub and beer garden with wooded walks…

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.
