General
- Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
- Many country walks nearby
- Pub and beer garden
Hurrah, another Pitchup.com pub campsite! And what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too.
Picture this, pub campsite peeps: Riverside Caravan Park at The George, 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 nosh and traditional ales and ciders at decent 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 ten minutes 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 three miles and the Forest of Dean eight miles 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 shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

Local attractions
Use Riverside Caravan Park at The George as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want to stick close to the countryside or have city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (We bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse 20 miles away too.)
Within strolling distance, walk the dogs and/or the kids at the little Rosie's Wood, taking the footpath along the river from the park and over the bridge. Two miles away, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Slimbridge reserve 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 nature, greenery and gardens you're after, several excellent options as well as the Forest of Dean are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn, 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, seven miles away, and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo garden eight miles away (be sure and see the snowdrops if you're there in season).
Great golf in scenic surroundings can be had at Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club, on the southern edge of the Cotswold Escarpment above the Severn Valley and three miles from The George, but if your small cowboys and cowgirls don't fancy that, hustle them to the play areas and farm animals at Cattle Country Adventure Park four and a half miles away.
Also recommended by the Riverside Caravan Park at The George team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum ten miles away; Woodchester Mansion, an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland (four and half miles), and eleventh century Berkeley Castle (five miles), traditionally thought to be the place where poor old Edward Two saw his last day.
