  • Gloucestershire farm site with views of the Malvern Hills
  • A 10-minute drive to Tewkesbury; 20 minutes to Gloucester Cathedral
  • On-site café and occasional restaurant; firepits for hire
Located in the Severn Vale, Elmwicke Campsite has fabulous views of the Malverns and Bredon Hill in Gloucestershire. This is the place for all adorers of animals, as it’s set on a working farm with a flock of Jacob sheep, a herd of rare-breed Gloucester cattle, and the Pygmy goats Mabel and Martha, plus Bacon the pig. Site owners and carers to all those animals, Jon and Ruth are fourth-generation farmers and you’ll see them at some point during your stay, whether that’s welcoming you in, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good old natter. The site is a seven-acre, flat field where you can choose your own pitch, and stay together if you’re with friends or family. There’s plenty of space for games of cricket, rugby, football, rounders or flying kites. With men’s and women’s loos, the amenities block has showers and a family room with baby-changing facilities. To help you with keeping everybody clean and tidy, there’s also a laundry area with a washing machine. An on-site café is open for breakfast rolls, pastries and fresh coffee (note that all breakfasts must be ordered the night before) to get you going in the morning, and on some nights, you can eat at the pop-up restaurant. If you’d rather be self-sufficient, barbecues are allowed on site, and you can order meat packs (subject to availability) from the farm, as well as hire firepits and buy bags of wood, which are delivered daily.

What customers say

Elmwicke Campsite is a ripper! Spotless amenities, hot showers, handy washing-up area with fridges/freezers. Owners Ruth and John are legends, pitches are flat and spacious. Cafe's a great shout for brekkie rolls. Kids love the tractor rides and plenty of room to run around. A bit of highway hum, but mostly a chill, well-kept spot you'll wanna return to.

Powered grass site

Liked Quiet & scenic site. We had a veory restful stay

Disliked More attention to the cleanliness of the washing up area & toilets needed. Had lots of dead insects on shelves & full waste bins/empty soap dispensers. Shame because other visitors have previously praised the cleanliness.

Liked Lovely campsite. Very clean showers/ toilets etc. owners very helpful.

Disliked It had been incredibly dry for weeks but the campsite still allowed open fires (they were off the ground) which felt very risky given the circumstances.

Unpowered grass site

Liked The facilities were great, as was the cafe and the breakfast provided. There was a full family toilet/shower room which was a huge advantage for small families who couldn't split across multiple bathrooms. The location as beautiful, with plenty of pitching space and the hosts were lovely and were very attentive to ensure the facilities and the campsite generally was clean and well kept. There was also free wifi throughout which was very handy!

Unpowered grass site

Liked A very welcoming, friendly environment. Ruth and John were great interacting with the kids, offering tractor rides and making sure everyone knew who was who, so the children could play together. Facilities were kept immaculate and there was loads of room to feel peaceful and for the children to play also.

Disliked Nothing! I think we'll be back next year!

Local attractions

Gather the kids up for games of mini-golf at Sherdons Golf Centre’s Pirate Adventure (five minutes’ drive), or let them have a look at the Harry Potter film locations in Gloucester Cathedral (20 minutes). They can follow treasure trails at Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean (both 50 minutes), where you can also hike forest paths or up the activity levels and get some cycling in. Keen for more exercise? Have a go at skiing or tubing at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, or head for Sandford Parks Lido in Cheltenham (both 25 minutes), with its gorgeous Art Deco architecture and two outdoor pools to cool off in on sunny days. Mooch around indie shops in Tewkesbury (10 minutes), where you can also visit the historic abbey, grab an ice-cream or relax on a boat trip along the Severn and Avon rivers. Mellow-stone Cotswolds towns to add to your itinerary include Broadway (half an hour) for its delightful architecture and design museums, and Stow-on-the-Wold (40 minutes) for its cracking selection of antique shops.
