  • 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 a 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 hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Friendly welcome. Walks straight from the site. Site was very secure with a card operated gate and a height barrier.

Disliked Site could be made much nicer if it was tidied up a bit. There was rubbish at the back of pitches, and the grass could do with a mow.
The pitches were quite close together. The little "bay" we were in was for 3 pitches. Luckily the site was pretty quiet so we only had 1 neighbour.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, pitches are all checked after departures so any rubbish found must have been missed by mistake…when the site is extremely busy like it has been there is minimal time for the grass to be mowed and with the heat this summer a lot of our grass hasn’t been growing, this is all kept on top of sufficiently, I’m sorry you felt differently.

Excellent site and great pub…

Electric grass pitch

Liked The location is great for breaking long journeys down M5. The site is alongside the River Cam with footpaths straight off the site which is great.
The George Inn was homely and good food.

Disliked Poor quality loo roll, not cost saving as more used.
No hot water in evening.

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.
