  • Friendly adults-only site at the foot of the Malvern Hills
  • Access to Castlemorton Common and 35 minutes’ walk from Little Malvern
  • Barbecues permitted on site; walk to four country pubs
Keen to get away to the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? Looking for a break where your dog can get involved with the hill walking? A peaceful spot within walking distance of multiple cosy country pubs? Marlbrook Farm is here to get things started… The family-run, adults-only site based on a working horse livery yard is in the Malvern Hills AONB with direct access to Castlemorton Common and a 10-minute drive from the Three Counties Showground. Don your hiking boots and head for the common or the hills – the site is just 35 minutes’ walk from Little Malvern and under 10 minutes’ drive from British Camp Hill Fort. Those of you who’d rather mount your bicycle and get pedalling can set your sights on historic Ledbury (15 minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ cycle) and the peaceful riverside in Upton upon Severn (25 minutes’ drive or cycle) too. Hill walking and cycling aside, those wishing to tip back a few local ales and indulge in some country pub grub will be pleased to find four such establishments within walking distance. The closest is just 15 minutes’ walk away and the remainder are 25 minutes’ walk or 35 minutes’ walk away – so judge your favourite for yourselves. If barbecues with stunning views are high on your priorities too, good news. They're permitted on site, and there’s a village shop 10 minutes’ walk away to simplify sourcing ingredients. Facilities on this peaceful independent site include one shower and two toilets located a short walk away from the pitches (passing by the horse stables) and a chemical disposal point.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural campsite offers spacious, level pitches with stunning views of the Malvern Hills. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere and direct access to beautiful walks. The site is horse-friendly, with paddocks and stables adding to the rural charm. Facilities are basic but generally adequate, with some visitors noting the limited number of toilets and showers. While many found the site to be excellent value, a few considered it overpriced for the facilities provided.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely location perfect for our beagle to have some lovely walks on the common which is right outside the gate. The south field which we stayed in was lovely and very well kept. Lovely friendly people. I emailed the owner to ask if we could stay an extra night and this was sorted promptly so thank you for that. Will definitely be returning.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful peaceful spot with lovely views to the Malverns. Pitches are flat and spacious with water and power. Catherine was a lovely host - very friendly and helpful. Single shower and loo in the stable yard- the water was very hot and shower pressure excellent. We enjoyed saying hello to all the horses!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Rural setting under the Malverns.
Very helpful owner; dealt with a small booking error quickly and without fuss.
Good, level pitch with wind-break tree/hedge perimeters.
Proximity of stables and a working equestrian centre adds interest.
Lovely walk across the common to the Plume of Feathers pub.
Close to Three Counties Show Ground.

Disliked Facilities could be better. A single shower with one of the two toilets is pretty limited, but for one or two nights, quite adequate.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Location was lovely and quiet and the pitches were spacious, local pubs within walking distance and we found a pathway next to the campsite which is ideal for dog walks.
Staff were very welcoming, we will book again as the area was perfect for our dogs they loved it . Thank you

Disliked Not enough toilets and showers to accommodate everyone that were camping and they were a bit far from the north side campsite so night visits can be an issue .

Local attractions

From the site, walk straight out onto Castlemorton Common. From there, it'll take you around an hour to walk to the top of the Malvern Hills without even crossing a road. On the edge of Welland, the site is also within walking distance of the annual Welland Steam & Country Rally event. There are many more festivals in Upton upon Severn (25 minutes’ drive) For a peek into the past, try Little Malvern Priory (35 minutes' walk) or Eastnor Castle (10 minutes' drive). The latter has a deer park, arboretum and a grand castle with turrets overlooking the lake. Gawp at the state rooms in the castle or try and work your way out of the garden maze. If you’re looking to switch things up, you might want to roll down to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) for yet more wanders or watersports on the River Wye.
