  • 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

Many visitors praise the peaceful, rural atmosphere and the spacious, well-maintained pitches. The proximity to local walks and the excellent Red Lion pub are frequently highlighted. However, some reviewers noted issues with the cleanliness and maintenance of the toilet and shower facilities, as well as the presence of flies and farmyard smells.

Liked Pitches were flat and nicely laid out.
Good general location

Disliked Toilets were dirty, even after being serviced they had stained seats and were not cleaned properly.
Showers were in same room as dirty toilets so did not feel nice.
Nothing seemed like it was cleaned properly.
Site has many flies, probably because there is a silage storage right next door on the farm.
Rubbish bins overflowing, again adding to the feeling the site is not properly looked after.

Liked Whilst limited, the bathrooms are large and clean.
The communal fire pit is great, the pitches are a good size and the location is fine.

Disliked The sheer volume of biting flies.
The lack of any contact with the owners.
The only option is to call, in a signal black spot. Not very helpful.

Unpowered grass site

Liked This campsite has potential: pitches are large; privacy fences are lovely; showers and toilets are properly plumbed in.

Disliked We arrived at 2.30pm on the Sunday and left at 10.30am on the Tuesday, and at no point during this time were the toilets or showers cleaned. We had 30°C heat, so they were very smelly. We ended up using our motorhome facilities, but those in tents won't have been as lucky.

The neighbouring farm is an industrial dairy farm. It's noisy and smells of silage. Obviously, the campsite can't do anything about its neighbours, but it's something people should consider before booking.

While we were there, because of the 30°C heat, the neighbouring farm was carrying out their evening milking at 10pm (to stop the cows suffering from heat stress). This meant machine noise and milk tankers into the evening. The silage smelt rancid in the heat and there were swarms of flies from the silage.

If you do stay at this campsite, avoid the hot weather!

Liked Beautiful camp site with fab dog walks along the river. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Great facilities and lovely coffee shop. Our son loved playing in the kitchen at the coffee shop. Even though we only live in Cheltenham, this was a lovely night away and felt like we had gone further a field. We will definitely be back!

Disliked Nothing!

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.
