  • 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 peaceful, rural campsite on a working farm, with lovely river walks. Guests loved the clean facilities, private pitches, and handy pub/cafe. Some signal issues, but a friendly, well-kept spot for a relaxing break. Manager is responsive to feedback.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site, really nice to be next to the farm though and hear life going on. Great walks and local village is a delight. Great farm run cafe.

Disliked Shower block was a bit nippy so didn’t use it but would be perfect in warmer months. A little path to the water point would be a welcome addition.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Washing up area under cover. Flat gravel pitch as it was wet. Could walk in the field next door. Just turn up and text them of your arrival.

Disliked Only 1 shower. I knew it was on a farm and would have cattle sounds and smells in february. Dusty dirty basin and loo.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and found the site quiet, basic and perfect for walking your dogs, that’s exactly the kind of peaceful experience we aim to provide.

We’re sorry for the frustration caused by the electricity going off during your stay. Unfortunately, this was due to a local car accident that damaged power lines in the area, which resulted in a temporary outage affecting us and surrounding properties. The issue was completely outside of our control, but we understand how inconvenient it must have been, especially in the evening.

We appreciate your patience while the power was restored and hope that aside from this unexpected incident, you had an enjoyable stay.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked We had a really lovely stay here. The site was super quiet and peaceful — exactly what we were looking for.

It’s a self check-in setup so we didn’t meet the owners, but everything was straightforward and easy. The facilities were basic but clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The surrounding area is beautiful, with amazing walks nearby and a really cute farm café close by which was such a bonus.

If you’re looking for a calm, low-key base in a lovely location, this is a great choice. We’d definitely return.

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.
