Ketch Caravan Park: riverside pitches

General

  • On the banks of the River Severn, two miles from Worcester city centre
  • Close to the M5, 15 minutes' drive from the Malvern Hills
  • Fishing on site; riverside walk from site to city centre

City strolls or countryside wanders – which one might you fancy while on your Worcestershire break? If the answer is ‘a bit of both, actually’ then you’ll likely find Ketch Caravan Park a most convenient spot indeed.

This peaceful and family-friendly park is on the banks of the River Severn, around two miles from Worcester city centre. A riverside footpath runs from the site to the city’s shops and attractions; alternatively you can drive it in five minutes or so.

As well as providing pleasant strolls into town, the river also supplies a pretty backdrop for the site, with the Malvern Hills visible in the distance (another good place for lovely long stroll, of course). Guests can go fishing in the river directly from the site too.

Getting in, out and around to local attractions is very straightforward from here: the park is handily placed close to the A4440 and only a few minutes’ drive from the M5. That makes it both a nifty stopover point on a longer motorway journey and a good place to settle for rural rambles (with a dog, if you’ve got one you’d like to bring along on holiday) and days out visiting the likes of Tewkesbury, Snowshill Manor and Evesham.

Barbecues are allowed on site, and there’s a rather handy supermarket just outside the site for supplies if you don’t fancy the trip to town for dinner. As for the site’s own facilities, they include a toilet and shower block along with chemical disposal for touring guests.

Please note

A charge of £0.20 applies for the use of the shower.

Bookings must not consist of more than 1 different households.

    Loved being next to the river and watching the narrow boats going by. Shower and toilet facilities were excellent and lovely and clean. Staff were very welcoming and helpful at check in. There is a Toby Carvery just outside the site serving excellent food from breakfast to the evening. Sunday carvery is a must! Taxi services into town are easy to book and very reliable.

Good size level pitch overlooking river03/06/2023

  • Electric grass tent pitch
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    Despite being just off the main road it was surprisingly quiet. Lovely view overlooking the river. Good size, level pitch with electric hook up. The owner offered to move me to a pitch closer to showers, etc... as I was on my own , which was appreciated. For all the facilities were a little dated, they were very clean at all times of day. Didn't mind paying 20p for shower as really hot and powerful and ample time to wash hair and shower thoroughly. Close to shops to stock up if needed. Only 20mins to Malvern which was perfect for me as the purpose of my holiday walking. Enjoyed several walks on the Malvern Hills during my stay. Spent time in Malvern itself. Priory Park is lovely. Close to Worcester City Centre with scenic walks aling the river. Dog friendly, with a good stretch of grass to walk them on. Disappointed to be told this site will be closing at end of this season.

    Disliked: 

    No facility to refreeze ice packs. Ended up having to throw away contents of my cool box.
    Washing up area very small but to be fair it was mainly motorhomes onsite so didn't appear to be used often and was always empty when I used.
    There was a light behind me which came on overnight which shone on my tent, found it quite light for sleeping ( prefer it being quite dark)

Local attractions

Presumably you’ll want to start in Worcester – and that’s a good choice, whether you amble along the riverbank or take the five-minute drive. Once you’re in the city centre, stop by at the cathedral and the Tudor House Museum for a sense of the area’s history and admire the pretty pieces on display at the Museum of Royal Worcester.

There’s more history to be explored at places like the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings (20 minutes’ drive), where you can see a collection of restored and rebuilt buildings of various kinds, and the smart Eastnor Castle (half an hour) and Snowshill Manor and Gardens (40 minutes). Meanwhile, music buffs can follow the Elgar Route to take in some of the scenery that inspired the composer and see some of the places where he lived and worked.

For some outdoor time, explore the grounds of Spetchley Park Gardens (five minutes), which has been in the same family for over 400 years, or head to the highest point in the Malvern Hills at Worcestershire Beacon (20 minutes).

Must see

  • Royal Worcester Visitor Centre (1.6 miles)
  • Worcester Cathedral (1.7 miles)
