  • 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.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (no awning)

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.

Christopher G.

Powered grass site

Liked A beautiful camping site with pitches separated by mature hedges, ours being right next to the River Cam. Thanks to the lady on reception we were able to be next to friends who'd arriving the day before us. The shower block provides individual cubicles, containing was basin shower and WC. Also a children's play area and bouncy castle. Conveniently there is a lovely pub right next to the site.
Siuated a short drive from the Slimbridge Wetland Centre.

Disliked Make sure you bring all your food etc provisions with you as there is no shop on site and thd nearest is 10 minutes drive away.

Brilliant site with a warm welcome.

Beverley E.

Powered grass tent site

Liked We meet up with friends for a get together weekend and this was our first time staying at Riverside. We were absolutely delighted with the welcome by Georgia and the toilet/ shower block was spotless. Have the pub was a big advantage and we used it for breakfast and evening meal on the Saturday. The staff were great and the service was excellent. All in all it was a fab weekend, see you next year.

Disliked If I was being picky I would say that the entrance to the site could look a little better. Once you got to you pitch it was level and private.

Would definitely stay again

Liked Excellent pitch sizes which also had a bit of privacy. The shower block was very clean and we liked the fact that all 4 units were self contained. Great location with the really good pub next door.

Disliked Nothing to note - we will be back next year for sure.

Lisa P.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (no awning)

Liked What a lovely peaceful, laid back friendly site. On the edge of river cam. Lots of birds and wildlife. Lovely toilets and showers. 4 of which were whole bathrooms. Same key card for gate and shower block. No deposit required as previously mentioned. The George inn at the top of site did good beer and food. Some great dog walks straight from site into beautiful surrounding countryside. Only stayed 1 night on way to Devon. Saw two fox cubs and deer on walk plus a family of swans and a kingfisher. Would recommend and definitely return. Easy access to and from me but surprisingly quiet too.

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.
