  • Small family-friendly tree-filled site four miles north of Gloucester
  • A 15-minute drive from the Cotswolds and Tewkesbury
  • Bus stop outside to visit Gloucester or Cheltenham and pubs nearby
Settle in at this small but mighty fine place just north of Gloucester and prep for a nice mix of sightseeing and adventures in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 15 minutes’ drive to the east. There’s a story behind how Gloucester Camping at Court Farm came to be. After staying at a small campsite in what they describe as an empty, unwelcome field for a week in 2010, the now-owners decided to inject some life into space. They stayed a bit longer than anticipated and used the blank canvas to plant a few hundred 12-inch trees. Now, years later, the location reflects a site that their mums and dads would have liked to stay on when they were kids: a small, homely site with spacious pitches and heaps of greenery to rest and relax in full. The trees are still being nurtured by the same owners, and the profits go back to the property owners as agreed 10 years ago. Facilities now include showers and toilets. The location’s pretty excellent too, four miles north of the centre of Gloucester, with pubs, shops and restaurants about five minutes’ drive away. The 71 bus service from right outside the site’s gate goes to both Gloucester and Cheltenham (a further nine miles out). If you’re on a journey from the north to the west country, the A38 is just five miles south and the M5 is three miles away too (10 minutes’ drive). So, if you wish to break a longer journey up with a pitstop in Gloucester, this is the place to do so. A full holiday can easily be had here though, what with days out at the Stonelea Riding Centre (20 minutes’ drive) and Rodway Hill Golf Club (20 minutes) so close by.

A welcoming, quiet spot with easy access, known for its large, flat sites. Guests loved the clean washrooms and great hot showers. Staff were helpful. Though some felt it was a bit simple, most had a great stay and plan to come back.

Jon M.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (no awning)

Liked Location, Bus Stops to Tewkesbury and Gloucester just outside entrance.
Garden Centre just across from entrance that does food and Sunday Lunch.
Friendly Reception Staff.

Disliked Basic Facilities but all working.
All the waste bins were overflowing.
The drain used for emptying our grey motorhome waste was blocked with what looked like all the waste bins from the whole site, we had to shuttle our water in a bucket from the van to the drain, not the end of the world but a pain.
Would not be an issue on a non bin collection day.

Liked Lovely spacious pitch, clearly marked. As others have said, the bus stops right outside the gates, which is very good, we found the toilets and showers really clean and lovely hot water. Extended our stay for an extra 3 nights no problem at all, will definitely be back

Disliked Not really a dislike but there are a lot of chippings throughout the site, my little dog struggled a bit but we just carried him 😊

Liked We arrived early evening so had sadly missed the office but we were called just before they shut to tell us where we were on the site and what we needed to know. The site was pristine. What a great site. Visually stunning, perfect location and facilities were great. Lovely mix of people on site. It was a shame we only stayed one night but we will certainly look to stay again on our next trip.

Liked The size of the grass pitch & trees around . Easy check in if the reception is closed. The triton shower in one of the unisex cubicles was very good.

Disliked The shower/ toilets block could do with a bit of maintenance & spruce up. The chemical waste disposal needs a little updating but is working fine. WiFi only if you sit right outside the office. Phone service is poor which is unavoidable.

Local attractions

While you’re so close to Gloucester, a day of sightseeing may be one of the first things up on your itinerary. There’s Gloucester Cathedral (15 minutes' drive) and the Gloucester Docks (15 minutes) for a good dose of history and Gloucester Rugby Club in Kingsholm (10 minutes) for sporting events. Or you may wish to dine by the docks – perhaps starting with brunch after finishing with sunrise yoga on a paddleboard. Tewkesbury (15 minutes) is a historic riverside destination with medieval streets and river boat trips for more peaceful days out. Or you may prefer to board the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (half an hour) and extend your expedition with a steam train journey. Otherwise, stick around Cheltenham (20 minutes) to catch the racecourse, fine art museum and Victorian Everyman Theatre. Stow-on-the-Wold (45 minutes) and Bourton-on-the-Water (40 minutes) are other destinations to add to your Cotswolds-based relaxation itinerary.
