Catch a Smile

8.9 19 anmeldelser

Head into the Gloucestershire countryside and you probably won’t be surprised to spot a few farm animals along the way. Bet you didn't expect to find dinosaurs as well though… You’re likely to encounter both when you stay at Catchasmile, a well-maintained site on the banks of the River Severn about 15 minutes’ drive from Gloucester. The pitches here are next door to Dan’s Dino’s & Friends, and for a small extra charge (payable on site) you can head into the attraction to see horses, goats, sheep and chicks, as well as meeting those (model) dinos. And that’s not all there is to do at this friendly and well-equipped site, as you can also try your hand at fishing. There’s equipment for hire, bait to buy and occasional competitions for kids and adults, so there’s something for both beginners and more experienced anglers alike. There’s a warm welcome here for all guests, with special needs well catered for – there’s an accessible bathroom in the toilet block, along with wheelchair fishing platforms and accessible pathways, and the staff are well practised at welcoming disabled visitors. Pick a pitch here and you’ll have access to handy facilities including wifi and a toilet block, and you can buy snacks and hot and cold drinks at the on-site café. There’s a barbecue area and a firepit area as well, so you’ll also be able to have a go at outdoor cooking if you like (handily, there are a couple of supermarkets about a mile away for the supplies) and try building a fire to keep warm during the evening.

Lokale seværdigheder

You may find that much of your time here is taken up with the antics on site, but it’s really worth leaving time to get out into the wider area – for starters, there are some nice walks to be had on the paths running alongside the River Severn and the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal. You might also like to head into Gloucester city centre (15 minutes’ drive) to visit the cathedral and National Waterways Museum or make use of the shops and restaurants at Gloucester Quays. The Barn Owl Centre (five minutes) is on the way into the city too, or you could head round to the far side to be wowed by the planes at the Jet Age Museum (25 minutes). For a full day out, maybe consider heading west to the Forest of Dean to explore the trails of Puzzle Wood, delve underground at Clearwell Caves or take to the treetops at the Go Ape adventure park – they’re all pretty close to each other and around 45 minutes’ drive from Catchasmile.

Areal til telt med græs med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om: Safe (locked gate), quiet (some distant road noise), flat pitch next to car, friendly host. Nice location for walking but also close to Gloucester.

Syntes ikke om: Nothing much. Toilets could do with a mirror.

Not really a campsite but a fishing/activity centre.

Areal til autocamper med græs og grus med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om: Owners were absolutely delightful. Very friendly and helpful. Close to Gloucester and lovely walk to pub along canal close by.

Syntes ikke om: Visitors arriving at 9am to fish and do activities. Sadly toilets were dirty and not cleaned during 3 night stay. Views were of dyed ponds and model dinosaurs. Owners have put a lot of effort into making this an accessible fishing/activity centre. It is not really a campsite.

Areal til autocamper med græs og grus med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om: Really liked the owners. So welcoming and friendly. Also, surrounded by nature and a small-holding plus a small fishing lake set up for learning-difficulty people and their families. The lambs were beautiful.
There’s also a crazy golf!

Syntes ikke om: The facilities need some work. Toilets need a makeover. The shower is set up for disabled use so we didn’t use it. The owners are constantly working on improvements though
