Gloucester Camping at Court Farm

Positiv It being on a bus route.

Negativ Toilets and showers were not clean and in need of repair in places. Staff did not inform us of where things were such as chemical disposal, waste water etc. Residents used camping pitches as dog walk and did not pick up dog mess.

Positiv The location

Negativ Worst campsite I've been to in over 20 years of camping.

When you first arrive, the site looks charming and well-kept — but unfortunately, that illusion disappears quickly. Our pitch was filthy: scattered with bottle tops, broken toys, rusty cans, tissue paper, broken chairs and plastic bags. We had to litter pick the area ourselves before we could even set up our tent. Not what you expect from a paid site.

The toilet facilities were simply unacceptable. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks and 90% of the time without toilet paper but the main issue was that the toilets didn’t lock. There are 2 ladies toilets and one disabled and only one of them locked - there's like 45 pitches or something, one toilet isn't enough. Having to use a filthy, non-lockable toilet with no privacy was incredibly uncomfortable and stressful — a basic level of dignity and security was completely missing. This aspect alone made the stay feel unmanageable.

Bins were never emptied and smelt horrendous, right outside the toilet block.

I contacted the site several times across two days — via phone and message — and received no reply. My concerns were completely ignored, and nothing changed, not friendly at all. I felt like an inconvenience asking for toilet roll. We ended up cutting our stay short because the conditions were just not liveable.

It’s deeply disappointing to pay good money and receive this level of neglect. It saddens me to see a campsite filled with litter, I've never come across this is over 20 years of camping. You can tell this litter has been there months, the cans were rusty and the plastic was starting to break down. It's sad as there were a few bunnies there and lots of birds so this is a danger to them. Until major improvements are made, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere

Positiv General layout of the site

Negativ Untidiness around the site.
All facilities (showers/toilets) were unclean with no toilet paper and in two of the separate shower rooms no hot water in the sinks. It was obvious that no attempt had been made to clean the facilities on a regular basis, and the amount of facilities with the size of the site were very insufficient.
Very noisy in some areas of the site with loud music and shouting until very late with no consideration of other users or monitoring of activity by the owners.
Overall lack of attention to cleaning of facilities and the grounds.

Positiv we were a small group and we had a field to ourselves thanks to the owners/managers, weren't rushed to leave

Negativ showers and toilets could do with updating

Positiv Easy access to Gloucester, quiet site, good communication, met by friendly staff, facilities well planned and made.

Negativ The site had litter- old chairs, food wrappers, cans etc. The toilets had no paper and were not clean.

Positiv The camping field was level plenty of electric hook up points and close to facilities. The staff on site were friendly, good location for exploring the Cotswolds.

Negativ Ablutions were not cleaned on a daily basis and by the end of the week were in a poor state, and had to ask on more than occasion for loo roll to be replenished. I feel that the camping here is not the main priority for the owners and the focus seems to be the park homes.

Positiv Perfect spot for where I wanted to be.
Facilities average but clean

Negativ Expensive grass pitch no electric one person with single man tent cycling £25 one night.
Pitches to close 2metres between me and next tent

Positiv Friendly staff
Good location
Grass pitches

Negativ Hard standing Pitches not clearly marked, had some rubbish on them and some pitches were in bizarre places.
Shower and toilets are basic

Positiv Friendly welcome. Handy for bus into Gloucester. Nice to be able to choose our pitch, although our options were restricted by low trees.

Negativ The site looks very promising, but it's let down by a few things. The facilities could do with an upgrade. There were dodgy locks on doors, and there was no toilet paper. No cleaning appeared to be done while we were there (2days)...the toilets were in the same mess. Only 1 shower had a seat.
The pebbles throughout were noisy and difficult to walk, bike or push a pushchair on.
Static caravan residents use the camping area as a dogwalking area.
Vacating by 10am is a little mean.

Positiv Nice site as bus stop outside so didn’t need to drive!
Garden centre opposite with cafe
Quiet site

Negativ Toilet & Showers need cleaning more!!
