  • Dog-friendly site 10 minutes’ walk from riverside Upton upon Severn
  • Malvern Hills five minutes’ drive, and Tewkesbury 15 minutes
  • Fishing on site; restaurants and marina nearby in Upton
Black-and-white houses, a stunning riverside, a packed schedule of festivals and pubs to please fond-of-food punters: that’s a snapshot of Upton upon Severn, a waterside town 10 minutes’ walk away from The Old Allotments in Worcestershire. The USPs for this low-key site are just as pleasing: dog-friendly pitches, fishing on the banks of the Severn and facilities that include toilets and showers, an Elsan point and a washing-up sink. With such a handy location so close to the town, riverside walks or cruising down the river on a hire boat could soon be on the horizon – Upton upon Severn has a busy marina with a bar, restaurant and boat hire. There are supermarkets five minutes’ walk from the site as well as pubs, eateries and takeaways a little further away. Regular events take place at the Three Counties Showground (10 minutes’ drive), and The Old Allotments is also a handy base for exploring the natural beauty of Malvern Hills National Landscape.

Electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site whilst we were there. Only a 10min walk into Upton were there are plenty of pubs and places to eat. There is a supermarket 2mins away although couldn't tell you what it is like as we didn't use it. If you like walking there are some lovely walks along the river Severn. The site has two shower rooms with toilets and wash hand basins in and also a ladies and gents toilet with two cubicals in each. There is an elsan and grey waste disposal point (not driven over) and plenty of drinking water points and EHU points. The owner is really friendly and helpful. We will definately be back to this little gem.

Liked Loved this relaxed campsite, rustic clean toilets and hot showers.

Great location with easy walk to the town and marina.

Yes it is close to a road.....we actually pitched at the front of the campsite and the road noise didn't bother us. There were no cars in the evening.

Local attractions

Fancy a trip out? Before you set off, check in with the tourist office in Upton upon Severn, as the town has regular summer music festivals and events. You may also like to hire a barge to float down the River Severn, or bone up on local history at the town’s Tudor House Museum or Pepperpot Heritage Centre. As well as a number of half-timbered traditional pubs, Tewkesbury (15 minutes’ drive) is known for its splendid abbey with ornate stained-glass windows and tombs from the War of the Roses. There’s a medieval library in the Norman/Gothic cathedral at Worcester (half an hour), along with fine china exhibits at the Museum of Royal Worcester and local history displays in the City Art Gallery and Museum. Of course, the edge of the Malvern Hills National Landscape is only five minutes’ drive away for alfresco adventures on foot or by bike. You can scramble up to the Iron Age’s British Camp Hill Fort (15 minutes) for staggering views over Herefordshire and Worcestershire, or cycle the signposted network of bike trails across the region.
