  • 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 clean, well-kept, friendly site with spotless facilities and spacious, level pitches, many with water. The Pepper Pot pub is excellent. Handy M5 stopover. Occasional motorway/rail noise. Nikki, the manager, is a gem!

Liked Hedged plots giving specific area which was relatively private, altho we were next to the entrance/exit which had motion sensors for security resulting in small ‘bleeping’ noise every time it was set off (vehicles or people walking past). Great being nxt door to a good pub with food.

Disliked Was told we wouldn’t be able to walk to anywhere, but did in fact walk to lovely village (North Nibley) with great T shop and another Pub, so verbal info on arrival wasn’t really great.

Barrie P.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked We liked the size of the pitches and that we had our own water supply. The toilet block was clean and modern and the showers were free.

Disliked Not so much of a dislike, more of an observation. The access road is very narrow and could be troublesome if towing a caravan and meeting a large vehicle coming the other way. There is some noise from the M5 motorway and a train track nearby, but we soon got used to it.

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.
