  • Green and spacious park in Gloucestershire
  • On-site restaurant famous for its excellent food
  • Seven miles to Sharpness Canal and Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust
Greenery and space are on the menu at The Pepper Pot Caravan Park near Dursley in Gloucestershire, which is kept tiptop by its on-site and friendly wardens, who live in and are to hand for any advice or help needed by Pepper Potters during their stay. Facilities are well-maintained and in a purpose-built shower and loo block; an indoor washing-up area and a coin-operated washing machine are also on site. But the best part of The Pepper Pot? Its on-site bar and bistro, The Pepper Pot pub, with decently priced home-cooked meals using the best of local ingredients from local suppliers, such as salads, burgers and quality matured steaks. (If you think your little mover and shaker won't fancy a steak, they have plenty to pick from on the children's menu.)

What customers say

Pepper Pot Caravan Park is a tidy, friendly spot with plenty of room and top-notch toilets/showers. Great for a stopover near the M5. The attached pub's food and vibe get a thumbs-up. Most found motorway/railway noise minor. Some gravel pitch or pub service quibbles didn't spoil a good stay.

Liked My wife and I spent 2 nights on the Pepper Pot site in our motorhome with her sister and brother in law joining us in theirs.
It is a very pleasant, well maintained site.
The facilities were clean, some kind of seating in the shower area would make showering far easier.
A big shout out for the lovely lady in reception.
She was delightful, unfortunately I didn't get her name.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay and I would be happy to recommend it.

Liked Campsite it's nice and clean. The presence of a pub on site is a plus. Unfortunately, the proximity of the highway and railway tracks is a minus.

Liked The showers were clean and hot
The pub on site is good for food

Disliked Mirrors in the toilet are far to low and there’s no seats or a bench so you can sit down to put your socks and shoes on
For the time that we were there only one toilet could be used as there was no light in the other. The noise from the motorway can be overwhelming and can be difficult to get to sleep

Recommend to friends Visit again

A good site for a stop over on the way to Cornwall.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked The site is ok. Have stopped here twice. The first ,we did not like the pitch. This second time, the pitch was better, more private.

Disliked After eating in the pub, their system took payment twice. They failed to respond to any emails regarding this. Eventually, my bank stopped the second payment from processing but that charge/money was not available to me until the bank stopped it. The pub STILL has not had the courtesy of responding to emails.

As the site sits under the M5, there is motorway noise.

Local attractions

The Pepper Pot Caravan Park is in a decent spot to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire and its surrounds, particularly for those who like their wildlife or historic homes. Plenty of other activities and attractions can be found within ten miles. Two golf clubs are within a quick drive, the Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club two and a half miles away and the Cotswold Edge Golf Club within five. Also within a short drive are Berkeley Castle and the Vale of Berkeley (two and a half miles) and the Cattle Country Adventure Park (two miles) for yee-haw adventuring. Wildlife types have the River Severn Estuary and the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust to explore within six and seven miles respectively, with more species to see at Oldown Country Park eight miles away; wildfowl and other critters along the nearby Gloucester to Sharpness Canal, and Dean Forest and the Wye Valley 11 miles from base. More into historic homes, local history or greenery? Take your Pepper Pot pick from the National Trust's Woodchester Mansion and park or Westbury Court Gardens (seven and 11 miles); Chavenage House and the National Arboretum at Westonbirt (both ten miles), or the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks 16 miles away. The Pepper Pot team also recommends a punt at Chepstow Racecourse, 11 miles away; a look at the longest village green in England at Frampton On Severn nine and a half miles away, or a dip at Dursley Pool and Sports Centre within five and a half miles. For day trips, sink into some shopping and sightseeing at Bristol or spa city Bath.
