Back-to-basics site right on the River Severn, in Gloucestershire
Gloucester and Forest of Dean Cycle Centre 25 minutes’ drive
Front-row seats for the Severn Bore; barbecues allowed

If you’ve heard of the Severn Bore and are keen to watch this tidal wave from a front-row seat, make your way to River Severn Bank Pop-up Campsite, in Gloucestershire. The vast riverfront site is secluded and remote (2.5 miles from the main road), and staying here will appeal to those seeking a peaceful wild camping experience. Although you’ll be staying on a working farm, resident cows and sheep won’t be sharing your field, which means that dogs are welcome (so long as you keep them close and clean up after them). Take yourself and your canine buddy on a stroll along the river to Garden Cliff, where you might spot fossils of sea shells and shark’s teeth, plus gulls and newts. The Forest of Dean Cycle Centre (25 minutes’ drive) has bikes for hire and forested trails or, if you’re into angling, you can head to Elton Carp and Catfish Lakes (10 minutes). On site, you can build your own fire. There is usually plenty of driftwood on the riverbank, but if you don’t want to take any chances, you can order logs, plus local meats and cheeses, before your arrival. If you fancy some traditional pub grub, The Lyon Inn is 2.5 miles away, and the nearest shop is in the village of Chaxhill, a five-minute drive away. The owners are on site and available for any queries you may have. Please note there is no electricity on site, and no hot water. There is running water, though, and a composting toilet.
