  • 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.

Kerry O.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely and remote, which is just what we wanted. Check in is by text, which I actually prefer as quick and easy. The local pub did AMAZING food and everyone was really friendly. It was lovely to walk along the river and watch the sunset. A huge plus was we could have a fire pit! All in all, a wonderful break away from it all which is what we wanted. TIP: No shops nearby so make sure you have everything you need. Check the opening hours and food times of the pub before hand to avoid disappointment.

Disliked I loved the site on the whole, but like everyone else in the reviews, paper towels would be a really quick easy thing to install in the toilets. When you go for a wee, you don't remember to grab a towel and I ended up just drying my hands on my jeans. Also, just a basic gravel path to the toilets and waste areas would make the world of a difference.

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.
