What customers say

Great riverside spot with spacious pitches, friendly staff & a handy pub. Downsides: toilet/shower blocks are tired, need a spruce-up & sometimes aren't the cleanest. Still, peaceful vibes mean many keen to return.

Unpowered grass site

Liked The camping field is a unique layout… The fresh water tap is central to everyone being ideally placed in the centre of the field under the willow tree.
The pitches are level which is always a bonus. Having the river so close and a pub just as close serving great food is definitely an additional bonus. The children found many shells and enjoyed watching the tiny fish swimming around. First time venturing out in the camper with the granddaughters and a fun time was had by all.
Some people have commented on the toilet/shower cleanliness. Being pretty much self contained in that department and only visiting the facilities on a couple of occasions I didn’t feel they were dirty, just out doorsy. Yes there were a couple of spiders and cobwebs but isn’t that part of outdoor living? There was hand soap, toilet roll and an electric hand drier. That’s all we needed. There are also outside washing up sinks and chemical toilet disposal. Overall, bearing the price in mind there is absolutely nothing to complain about. I will be returning.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site

Liked The WiFi connection was very strong The pub staff and food both excellent. The willow trees are beautiful.

Disliked The water point at my pitch didn't work and all other water points did not have a hose attached so I got soaked every time I filled up my water barrel. Toilets and washing block are dated and desperately need refurbishing. All pitches covered in weeds.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Lovely non-electric field - peaceful and plenty of space. The pub is great and wifi helpful.

Disliked The shower block isn't awful but looks a bit scruffy. The trays are too small so people leave the curtain open and the stall floor gets wet. One of the ladies toilets is a bit loose on the floor. There is no light in the washing up area and the steps are a bit wonky. The electric points make that field look messy. A real shame as a bit of TLC would lift it a lot. Also a bit frustrating that the ferry into Tewkesbury was discontinued.

Local attractions

Slotted into a slender strip of land at the meeting point of the Severn and Avon rivers, Tewkesbury hasn’t changed much over the centuries: black and white Tudor buildings overhang the narrow streets, and the 12th-century abbey has the highest Norman tower in England. There are town and country museums to explore, historic buildings like the Old Baptist Chapel, plus shops and entertainment aplenty. The local countryside and riverbanks are great for ramblers and guests can find boat and bike hire, windsurfing and golf courses nearby. Also on your doorstep are the golden villages and verdant hills of the Cotswolds and attractive provincial towns and cities such as Cheltenham and Gloucester.
