  • 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.

This is a generally well-regarded campsite with many positive comments regarding friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and a good location, particularly for accessing Gloucester via public transport.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The size of the grass pitch & trees around . Easy check in if the reception is closed. The triton shower in one of the unisex cubicles was very good.

Disliked The shower/ toilets block could do with a bit of maintenance & spruce up. The chemical waste disposal needs a little updating but is working fine. WiFi only if you sit right outside the office. Phone service is poor which is unavoidable.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The staff was friendly, the pitch was clean and level and we had everything we needed our stay (one night).

Disliked The toilets were clean but there were only very few toilets- this could become a problem if the site becomes busy. The shower and toilets could do with some renovating.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Ignore the nit pickers and try for yourself.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Fantastic gem of a site, don't know why people have been nit picking over ridiculous things. Glad I chose to ignore the reviews of others and try for ourselves.
Lovely flat pitch, clean, tidy site, clean hot water in the showers. Shop on site. Will definitely be back.

Disliked Honestly can't think of anything.
Oh I got 1, would like to of been able to rent a lodge to bring more family in the colder months instead of using tent.

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.

Stow-on-the-Wold (45 minutes) and Bourton-on-the-Water (40 minutes) are other destinations to add to your Cotswolds-based relaxation itinerary.
