  • Small family-run site on an organic cattle farm
  • Adjacent to the River Severn and close to the Severn Way
  • Community-owned village pub within walking distance
Set in a perry pear orchard on an organic cattle farm: that sounds almost poetic. As are the views from the spectacularly scenic little place of West End Farm Campsite, set in the horseshoe bend of the River Severn on the edge of the peaceful Gloucestershire village of Arlingham, and adjacent to the river with easy access to the footpaths of the Severn Way. A rather smashing pub is within easy walking distance too: the Red Lion freehouse (owned by the village, hurrah) with tiptop locally sourced food, real ale and regular events like quiz nights and folk nights – all just the ticket after a peaceful pedal or serene stroll along the river paths or region's quiet flat roads…? West End Farm has a toilet block and chemical disposal. Both barbecues and campfires are allowed on site.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Quiet site with grassy flat marked pitches. Each pitch was separated by beech hedges. Quite a small site and felt very relaxed. Toilet facilities were clean - three separate units with a shower, sink and toilet in each of two of them and a sink and toilet in the third.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Quiet peaceful level site, lovely avian activity day and night. Spacious pitches. Feels very remote despite being close to jn 13 on the M5 (thus very easy to get to). Nearby River Severn walks and views are magnificent. Views of the night sky are superb. Could see the Milky Way very clearly. We have rebooked for 3 weeks time for our yearly Perseids trip. The Red Lion pub is 5 minutes walk away and is excellent. Frampton on Severn is a delightful village about 15 minutes cycle away (and has the nearest shop).

Disliked: Not a dislike as such but although there is sound of farming activity nothing could be seen through the trees. Being townies we were hoping to meet some cattle, chickens, goats or alpacas! There are, however, a lot of frisky calves on the Severn Way.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet site, basic but adequate, some lovely local walks and a nice pub 10/15 minutes walk away. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Silage smell was a bit strong but we are country folk and didn’t really worry us. May affect people who are not used to farm yard smells.

Liked: So easy to pitch up. Arrive and pitch, and then message the owner. Very quiet. Great location for us! Just what we needed!

Disliked: The google maps doesn’t take you to the actual site. No direction where to set up camp.

Local attractions

West End Farm Campsite's local village is Arlingham, also in the River Severn's horseshoe bend and just off Junction 13 of the M5. The area around the village is fab walking and cycling land, of public footpaths, riverside ambles and flat peaceful roads – all set among first-class mid-Wales scenery. (Don't know where to start? Ask at the Red Lion for details of their hare, salmon, cattle and skylark wanders.) A couple of miles from the farm is the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, running between Sharpness and the old docks of Gloucester. It's a pleasant place to while away a few meandering hours, particularly around Patch Bridge, close to the Wildfowl Reserve at Slimbridge which has the world's biggest collection of captive wildfowl. Other local options are Berkeley and the Edward Jenner Museum, where the clever chap first figured out vaccination, and Berkeley Castle, where poor old Edward 2 met his grisly end. Gloucester Cathedral is nine miles from the site; a little further afield are the Norman castle of Goodrich and the Tudor National Trust-managed house of Newark Park.
