  • 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 quiet country spot with roomy, private pitches. Lovely scenery, great walks by the Severn, and a top pub and farm cafe nearby. Basic but clean facilities, though some mention water pressure and upkeep. Easy check-in praised.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Very quiet and peaceful place. Pub quick easy walk away. Other walks around. Hard standing Pitch nice and level and tidy.

Disliked No lights/ lights not working near toilet block so walking over in pitch black at night.
Toilets not very clean in the sense that the cubicles were full of grass and quite run down. Considering only 2 others on the site while we were thought they would be cleaner

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Weather was great, so good area for walking

Disliked We have visited this site several times now. Please cut the grass properly, and get rid of the cuttings. The washing up facility, toilets and showers are very basic and full of grass, someone had swept a load of it up into a pile in the shower, but it wasn't cleared up the whole weekend we were there, it makes everything soaking wet and a mess, lots of people commented about it, and where was the cleaner? On the plus side, The Red Lion in the village is a lovely pub for food and drinks

Clean showers and bins are the least people should expect.

Electric grass pitch

Liked You get a good size pitch between little hedges which is nice.

Disliked The grass hadn't been cut for a while, then he came after we had set up. The showers were full of grass as were our cars and tents.
The bins in the washing up area were overflowing and by the end of the weekend so were the wheelie bins.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice quiet site, facilities were good and clean.

Disliked It’s not necessarily a bad thing but I didn’t see an official from the site in my time there. Granted I was only there for one night but you usually have an interaction with someone on most sites. Maybe it was the time of year also. But there was quite a lot of rubbish lying around some pitches which was sad to see. The bin was overflowing so I guess that is why. One this is that there does not seem to be a gate or barrier to seal the site at night. But as it is in such a secluded place it probably doesn’t need it.

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.
