  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • A 10-minute drive from the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • Pub site with beer garden; many country walks nearby
Hurrah, a pub site, and what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local food and traditional ales and ciders at reasonable prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy five-minute drive from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within 10 minutes' drive and the Forest of Dean 50 minutes away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and a shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

This well-maintained campground has spacious, private sites, many with river views. Praised facilities, especially individual bathrooms, are clean and modern. The adjacent pub, The George Inn, is a popular bonus with great food at good prices. Friendly, helpful staff mean guests often plan return trips. Easy M5 access is great for stopovers and exploring.

Kathryn G.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (no awning)

Liked Friendly warden, good security with barriers at entrance to site. Tidy site, with well cut glass. Level pitches. Plenty of water taps. Clean toilets. Can't comment on showers, we didn't use them. Easy access, no narrow roads. Some road noise but we knew where the site was when we booked it and expected to hear the road. It wasn't too bad and certainly didn't keep us awake. Great off road walks to Sharpness canal from the site. Great food in The George Inn.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 40 minutes' drive away, too.) WWT Slimbridge (10 minutes) gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn (five minutes), said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the river Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, (40 minutes), and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo Garden (half an hour); be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season. Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum (25 minutes); Woodchester Mansion Trust (20 minutes), an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland, and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (10 minutes), thought to be the place where poor old Edward II saw his last day.
