  • Small family-run site on an organic cattle farm
  • Adjacent to the River Severn and close to the Severn Way
  • Community-owned village pub within walking distance
Set in a perry pear orchard on an organic cattle farm: that sounds almost poetic. As are the views from the spectacularly scenic little place of West End Farm Campsite, set in the horseshoe bend of the River Severn on the edge of the peaceful Gloucestershire village of Arlingham, and adjacent to the river with easy access to the footpaths of the Severn Way. A rather smashing pub is within easy walking distance too: the Red Lion freehouse (owned by the village, hurrah) with tiptop locally sourced food, real ale and regular events like quiz nights and folk nights – all just the ticket after a peaceful pedal or serene stroll along the river paths or region's quiet flat roads…? West End Farm has a toilet block and chemical disposal. Both barbecues and campfires are allowed on site.

What customers say

A tranquil, rural spot for walks and exploring the River Severn. Spacious pitches, many with privacy hedges. Basic, clean facilities with hot showers. Nearby farm cafe & village pub. Some noted cleanliness/water pressure issues, but many loved the peace, location, and plan to return.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Beautiful surroundings

Disliked Flies, lots of flies. Loud banging and crashing from adjacent farmyard. Strong farmyard smells (to be expected) But mostly the lack of cleaning of the bathrooms. I stayed for 6 nights, and the only time that they were summarily cleaned was when I texted the owner to say that they were looking grim. This included a weekend when the campsite was pretty much full, including families with children, and no attempt was made to clean the bathrooms or empty the bins. I understand that campsite bathrooms can get messy, but then so should they, and implement a cleaning schedule accordingly. The toilets at their nearby cafe, on the other hand, are absolutely glorious, so I’m not sure why the campsite’s ones are so neglected.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely little location with easy access from the M5 (and far enough to not hear any of the associated traffic). Pitches are a really decent size and flat. Owner seemed very chilled too! There is a cafe next door which serves food and drinks, which has been done out beautifully, recommend to those who visit. Plenty of local walks! Canal is an hour twenty walk away for those who want to go on an adventure

Disliked Nothing. Other reviews have moaned about a farm smell. We only got this slightly when it was windy and by no means ruined our trip and it should certainly not stop others because its a great campsite!!!!

Local attractions

West End Farm Campsite's local village is Arlingham, also in the River Severn's horseshoe bend and just off Junction 13 of the M5. The area around the village is fab walking and cycling land, of public footpaths, riverside ambles and flat peaceful roads – all set among the first-class scenery of the England/Wales border area. (Don't know where to start? Ask at the Red Lion for details of their hare, salmon, cattle and skylark wanders.) A couple of miles from the farm is the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, running between Sharpness and the old docks of Gloucester. It's a pleasant place to while away a few meandering hours, particularly around Patch Bridge, close to the Wildfowl Reserve at Slimbridge which has the world's biggest collection of captive wildfowl. Other local options are Berkeley and the Edward Jenner Museum, where the clever chap first figured out vaccination, and Berkeley Castle, where poor old Edward 2 met his grisly end. Gloucester Cathedral is nine miles from the site; a little further afield are the Norman castle of Goodrich and the Tudor National Trust-managed house of Newark Park.
