  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • Many country walks nearby
  • Pub site with beer garden
Hurrah, a pub site! And what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this, pub site peeps: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local nosh and traditional ales and ciders at decent prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy ten minutes from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within three miles and the Forest of Dean eight miles away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

A well-maintained, clean, and friendly site, praised for its spacious and private pitches, excellent shower facilities, and convenient pub. Easy access from the M5 and lovely riverside walks are highlights. Some minor issues include road noise and a lack of on-site shops.

Liked Welcomed on arrival. Full explanation that there had been a burst water main. No water on site given choice to use another sister site. Decided to stay . Very glad I did. Lovely peaceful site near river . Water was provided and porta loos .
There is very Nice walk for the dog.
Had a decent size pitch and grass to side and behind. Benches also close by . Able to hook up electric.

Disliked Was not easy to get to electric point. But this was trimmed later in day .
I was sad no pub food was available but this was no one fault .

Liked Great location, really easy to find
Clean and well kept with good facilities. Friendly service both on the campsite and in the adjoining pub.
Beautifully peaceful pith right on the riverside. Each pitch has it's own picnic bench and mature hedges give privacy.

Disliked Nothing!

Liked Love the good sized pitch with all the privacy hedges . Good toilet block , just a bit warm in this hot weather , the extra toilet block was very handy . Loved the pub, don’t believe some of the reviews the food was excellent and the staff were brilliant . The warden was very accommodating, we arrived a lot earlier than expected but she was great .

Disliked Need to think about fully served pitches , with individual water and drainage to suit modern vans (I know that’s a lot of cost but it’s the way vans are developing)

Liked Fabulous, smaller site.
Flat, level, generous size pitches.
The pitches are set out well, divided into 2 pitches between mature hedge rows. Plenty of space on the pitch.
Toilet block was always clean and I liked the fact that it was an actual "bathroom " style set up. Toilet, shower and sink all in the one room rather than rows of showers and toilets.
Nice walks direct from site so great for dogs.
Added bonus of a country pub with lovely food aswel.
The wardens are both helpful and very friendly.
This was out second stay here. Would definitely return for a third stay.

Liked Excellent facilities 4 self contained clean at all times bathrooms and 3 separate shower units just as clean. Lovely spacious grass or hard standing pitches with hedging. There is also the George Inn and the food is really good as well. The warden was very pleasant and gave us a good account of where we were pitched and the facilities. There is a river which you can fish that runs alongside the site.
What more do you need!

The pitches were ample in size and level.

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 20 miles away, too.) Two miles away, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Slimbridge reserve gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn, said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the River Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, seven miles away, and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo garden eight miles away (be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season). Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum, ten miles away; Woodchester Mansion, an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland (four and half miles), and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (five miles), thought to be the place where poor old Edward Two saw his last day.
