  • Small family-run site on an organic cattle farm
  • Adjacent to the River Severn and close to the Severn Way
  • Community-owned village pub within walking distance
Set in a perry pear orchard on an organic cattle farm: that sounds almost poetic. As are the views from the spectacularly scenic little place of West End Farm Campsite, set in the horseshoe bend of the River Severn on the edge of the peaceful Gloucestershire village of Arlingham, and adjacent to the river with easy access to the footpaths of the Severn Way. A rather smashing pub is within easy walking distance too: the Red Lion freehouse (owned by the village, hurrah) with tiptop locally sourced food, real ale and regular events like quiz nights and folk nights – all just the ticket after a peaceful pedal or serene stroll along the river paths or region's quiet flat roads…? West End Farm has a toilet block and chemical disposal. Both barbecues and campfires are allowed on site.

What customers say

A chill, low-key spot in the sticks, perfect for riverside wanders. Good, roomy sites with decent facilities. A local pub and cafe are a stone's throw away. Campfires are a go. Farmy smells and sounds can be a bit much for some, but most reckon it's dead peaceful and plan to come back. Ideal for a cruisy country escape.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely campsite, great location, quiet and surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet close to a great pub. The farm now has a coffee shop which is open Fri, Sat and Sun 8:30-4pm - an extra bonus! We have returned for another visit, this time to celebrate a friend's 60th. She was delighted.

Liked Quiet location,Good walks,hot showers, easy to find, Food at The Red Lion pub in the village is fantastic

Disliked Lack of communication,Grass is abit long so if weather wet and you walk to the bin area or fresh/ waste water area you get wet feet as there are no paths and you have to walk through the grass.Nothing to dry your hands on if you use the toilet

From the manager: We’re sorry you were unhappy with your stay. You booked a grass pitch during autumn after several weeks of rain, so the ground was naturally wet and soft. All hard-standing pitches were already booked, so unfortunately a move wasn’t possible. Other campers who were prepared for wet weather were still able to use the grass pitches without issue.

As a goodwill gesture, we offered a refund even though the conditions were due to the weather and outside our control. We did not need to issue one under our booking terms, but we always try to be fair where we can.

Very quiet, clean site. Beautiful coffee…

Local attractions

West End Farm Campsite's local village is Arlingham, also in the River Severn's horseshoe bend and just off Junction 13 of the M5. The area around the village is fab walking and cycling land, of public footpaths, riverside ambles and flat peaceful roads – all set among the first-class scenery of the England/Wales border area. (Don't know where to start? Ask at the Red Lion for details of their hare, salmon, cattle and skylark wanders.) A couple of miles from the farm is the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, running between Sharpness and the old docks of Gloucester. It's a pleasant place to while away a few meandering hours, particularly around Patch Bridge, close to the Wildfowl Reserve at Slimbridge which has the world's biggest collection of captive wildfowl. Other local options are Berkeley and the Edward Jenner Museum, where the clever chap first figured out vaccination, and Berkeley Castle, where poor old Edward 2 met his grisly end. Gloucester Cathedral is nine miles from the site; a little further afield are the Norman castle of Goodrich and the Tudor National Trust-managed house of Newark Park.
