  • Small family-friendly tree-filled site four miles north of Gloucester
  • A 15-minute drive from the Cotswolds and Tewkesbury
  • Bus stop outside to visit Gloucester or Cheltenham and pubs nearby
Settle in at this small but mighty fine place just north of Gloucester and prep for a nice mix of sightseeing and adventures in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 15 minutes’ drive to the east. There’s a story behind how Gloucester Camping at Court Farm came to be. After staying at a small campsite in what they describe as an empty, unwelcome field for a week in 2010, the now-owners decided to inject some life into space. They stayed a bit longer than anticipated and used the blank canvas to plant a few hundred 12-inch trees. Now, years later, the location reflects a site that their mums and dads would have liked to stay on when they were kids: a small, homely site with spacious pitches and heaps of greenery to rest and relax in full. The trees are still being nurtured by the same owners, and the profits go back to the property owners as agreed 10 years ago. Facilities now include showers and toilets. The location’s pretty excellent too, four miles north of the centre of Gloucester, with pubs, shops and restaurants about five minutes’ drive away. The 71 bus service from right outside the site’s gate goes to both Gloucester and Cheltenham (a further nine miles out). If you’re on a journey from the north to the west country, the A38 is just five miles south and the M5 is three miles away too (10 minutes’ drive). So, if you wish to break a longer journey up with a pitstop in Gloucester, this is the place to do so. A full holiday can easily be had here though, what with days out at the Stonelea Riding Centre (20 minutes’ drive) and Rodway Hill Golf Club (20 minutes) so close by.

What customers say

This is a friendly, quiet campsite with a convenient location for visiting Gloucester and Tewkesbury via the bus stop right outside. Pitches are generally spacious and level. While many guests praise the cleanliness of the shower blocks and the helpfulness of the staff, some reviews mention dated facilities, overflowing bins, and a lack of general maintenance in certain areas.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Good location, and easy bus ride into Gloucester

Disliked Bins were seriously overflowing. Problems with drains - the shower I used drain was blocked, and the toilet disposal was disgusting, lumps of pooh lying on top of the obviously blocked drain. Also pitches very small - felt more like a large parking space rather than a pitch. A shame as this could be a really nice site, but cleaning and maintenance let it down badly

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Close to Gloucester centre short bus or taxi ride into the quays

Disliked Someone parked their car on our pitch so it limited our space also we bought some eggs on site which we noticed were out of date the use by date was the 5th Dec so not ideal this should be picked up in the shop before selling them we never noticed while we were there as we never used them due to going to Gloucester to the Xmas markets then leaving early to go north

Sue F.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Close to Gloucester and Tewkesbury for day trips. Sheltered pitches. Quiet.

Disliked No water tap nearby. Toilets & Shower block dated and the light in the women’s didn’t work both nights we were there. Gravel is deep and not compacted on the access roads but the pitches were fine. Phone coverage was limited which will suit some but not others.

Local attractions

While you’re so close to Gloucester, a day of sightseeing may be one of the first things up on your itinerary. There’s Gloucester Cathedral (15 minutes' drive) and the Gloucester Docks (15 minutes) for a good dose of history and Gloucester Rugby Club in Kingsholm (10 minutes) for sporting events. Or you may wish to dine by the docks – perhaps starting with brunch after finishing with sunrise yoga on a paddleboard. Tewkesbury (15 minutes) is a historic riverside destination with medieval streets and river boat trips for more peaceful days out. Or you may prefer to board the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (half an hour) and extend your expedition with a steam train journey. Otherwise, stick around Cheltenham (20 minutes) to catch the racecourse, fine art museum and Victorian Everyman Theatre. Stow-on-the-Wold (45 minutes) and Bourton-on-the-Water (40 minutes) are other destinations to add to your Cotswolds-based relaxation itinerary.
