  • Green and spacious park in Gloucestershire
  • On-site restaurant famous for its excellent food
  • Seven miles to Sharpness Canal and Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust
Greenery and space are on the menu at The Pepper Pot Caravan Park near Dursley in Gloucestershire, which is kept tiptop by its on-site and friendly wardens, who live in and are to hand for any advice or help needed by Pepper Potters during their stay. Facilities are well-maintained and in a purpose-built shower and loo block; an indoor washing-up area and a coin-operated washing machine are also on site. But the best part of The Pepper Pot? Its on-site bar and bistro, The Pepper Pot pub, with decently priced home-cooked meals using the best of local ingredients from local suppliers, such as salads, burgers and quality matured steaks. (If you think your little mover and shaker won't fancy a steak, they have plenty to pick from on the children's menu.)

What customers say

A welcoming, well-kept site with roomy, clean pitches & great modern washrooms. Staff, especially Nikki, are consistently lauded for being helpful and friendly. The nearby pub is a hit for good, affordable food. Traffic noise is generally not an issue. Highly recommended for its cleanliness, ease of access, and overall great stay.

Liked Friendly manager Nikki always greeted us with a smile.
Facilities were always super clean and warm (very welcome in the cold weather). There was always plenty of hot water!
We had no issues with the background noise from the nearby M5, as it was subdued in the evenings and easily ignored. It certainly didn't prevent us from having a good night's sleep every night.
We also had no issues with the security procedures for both the site entry barriers and the facilities, which kept access restricted to those staying on site.
Pitch was a good size, and the privacy hedges also helped as a windbreak during Storm Chandra.
We enjoyed exploring the local area and will return here in the future.

Liked Big well sheltered pitches, we were there in the winter so no leaves on the hedges but I can imagine in the summer they are very private pitches. Lovely hot water!! Including the washing up area!! Very handy pub next door, but check the opening times

Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the pepper pot caravan site,the site is clean secure,and has water and 16 amp hook up on your pitch,and the pitch itself was a good size,that we found ours to be fairly level.
The shower was clean,hot and had ample room (maybe could do with a stool)and the two toilets were well kept
Ok you have a railway line and the M5 is either side of the site,but we didn't find this to be a problem.
The pepper pot onsite pub serves excellent homemade food at decent prices,and good choice of beers,also it was the feel of a cosy country pub,with cheerful staff.
A great choice to spend our new year's eve.

Disliked Nothing !

Liked Large pitch, friendly staff, clean facilities and pub on site! Good WiFi too. Dog friendly.

Disliked Proximity to motorway- but this did just turn into white noise so not really an issue and I always wear ear plugs at night anyway!

Local attractions

The Pepper Pot Caravan Park is in a decent spot to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire and its surrounds, particularly for those who like their wildlife or historic homes. Plenty of other activities and attractions can be found within ten miles. Two golf clubs are within a quick drive, the Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club two and a half miles away and the Cotswold Edge Golf Club within five. Also within a short drive are Berkeley Castle and the Vale of Berkeley (two and a half miles) and the Cattle Country Adventure Park (two miles) for yee-haw adventuring. Wildlife types have the River Severn Estuary and the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust to explore within six and seven miles respectively, with more species to see at Oldown Country Park eight miles away; wildfowl and other critters along the nearby Gloucester to Sharpness Canal, and Dean Forest and the Wye Valley 11 miles from base. More into historic homes, local history or greenery? Take your Pepper Pot pick from the National Trust's Woodchester Mansion and park or Westbury Court Gardens (seven and 11 miles); Chavenage House and the National Arboretum at Westonbirt (both ten miles), or the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks 16 miles away. The Pepper Pot team also recommends a punt at Chepstow Racecourse, 11 miles away; a look at the longest village green in England at Frampton On Severn nine and a half miles away, or a dip at Dursley Pool and Sports Centre within five and a half miles. For day trips, sink into some shopping and sightseeing at Bristol or spa city Bath.
