  • 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.

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.

The relaxed atmosphere. Local walks and pub…

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!

Great camp site, good atmosphere, with everything you need on site.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Great little camp site, small enough that you don't feel overwhelm.
Showers and toilets where always clean and the bog rolls where replaced quick.
Its a working farm so if you like the owers to be walking around chatting etc, this is not the place for you. There is no contact, but TBH there is really no need.
4 walks circular walk to enjoy and all of them end up at the Local pub (there is a god). Great little cafe just up the road that serves great cakes etc.
You can BBQ and have a fire pit, take your dog as well! What's not to like about this site.

Disliked This is not a dislike, just a heads up. Its a working farm milk trucks may turn up a little later or early. There are flies about once the wind drops but TBH they seem more interested in sitting on the MoHo than bothering you.

Great stay on a lovely site

Liked This is a small and peaceful site and was just what I’d hoped it would be. I thought I’d booked EHU, I hadn’t but the owner very kindly offered to provide us with it. The pitches were a good size and ours also had a privacy laurel hedge on either side. It was great for the dog as you’re able to let them off once you’re on the lane and we had a lovely early morning walk along the Severn estuary. The shower and toilets were clean. Apart from our neighbour who went off site and left their dog in their caravan to bark non stop (until they returned) the other dog owners were considerate. Lovely location. Didn’t get chance to visit the village pub which is literally five min walk from the site. Neither did we get to visit the coffee shop which is a 2 min walk. I’ll definitely return.

Disliked Neighbour who went out and left one of their dogs alone in the caravan to bark non stop until they returned.

Small and quiet. Lovely setting. Good facilities, beautiful countryside. Lovely local pub…

Disliked Could do with a few more bins, but then again, if we all took some home, it would help as I'm sure they have to pay extra for removal

Liked West End Farm is a relatively small site, but is spacious and has the facilities we require. It is situated on the edge of the village with easy access to fields and walks. It is ideal to walk our dog along tracks and next to the river. The countryside is full of wildlife and farm animals. It is a peaceful site but also within walking distance of the Pub.

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 first-class mid-Wales scenery. (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.
