  • 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

A very clean and friendly site with spotless facilities, large pitches and a helpful warden. The adjacent pub serves great food at reasonable prices. Motorway and train noise are present but generally not intrusive. Some minor issues with shower timers and a lack of on-site dog walks were noted.

Liked The site was clean, the pitches huge. Staff really friendly, they couldn't do enough for you. The PepperPot pub was a delight, clean, helpful staff throughout and the food gorgeous 2-1 on the mains made it exceptional value, good variety, catered for most people

Disliked Hugely difficult to find fault, the need for a code to use the toilets was frustrating, especially if like me you have a poor memory and forget the piece of paper...however they were clean and well looked after, small price to pay to stop hikers using and unfortunately abusing them

Liked A well maintained and quiet site with clean facilities. The toilet blocks have a code to enter. There was a pub next door which you have to pre book if you wish to eat. There is a large grass for kids to run around and play games on. Unfortunately, someone decided to not clean up after their dog and on two different occasions the children stood in it whilst playing. The entrance to the campsite has a barrier and a code so you have to call the warden upon arrival who will give you the code so you can let yourself in. Perfect site if you are visiting Cattle Country Farm Park. Would definitely revisit.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Nothing

Disliked Gravel was awful and you couldn’t bang the pegs in, it also looks awful.

Trains going by every few minutes plus traffic noise from the adjacent M5. We had booked and paid to go back this weekend but have forfeited our money and booked elsewhere. Absolutely nothing going for it.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely site with good facilities but too many uncontrolled children

Julie H.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Large pitch. Very clean toilets and shower facilities.
Shower cubicle large with plenty of hot water and decent power.
Apart from the motorway noise, which we knew about and didn't bother us, the site was very quiet.
Excellent pub next door with great food and prices very reasonable.

Disliked All gravel pitch....unable to secure awning to the ground as too hard to get stakes in

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review, i told most people that they need rock pegs for their awnings on the hard standing.

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.
