  • 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 spot for walks. Lovely surroundings, near river & pub. Pitches are spacious with privacy. Facilities clean but could be modernised. Occasional farm smells, flies & shower water pressure noted.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful setting with plenty of good walks within range.
Farmers Yard cafe nearby is amazing for breakfast and coffee.
Arlingham is lovely including the Red Lion for Sunday lunch.

Disliked Unclear where to pitch as it was a self selection, but the type of pitch we had booked was not available so having tried to call the campsite number with no response we had to pitch on a different type of pitch.
There was also a large group staying in tents and their noise was unfortunately disruptive well passed midnight, but again no signs of anyone from the campsite to police the noise or address these issues.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Clean facilities (toilets, showers & washing up area), nice location, peaceful place for a getaway. Local pub close & friendly. Good communication from the owner.

Disliked Booked grass electric pitch but they were all taken by caravans when we got there. Owner responded quickly to say we could go anywhere so found a spot between 2 hard standing areas. First night bins were emptied at 10-11pm which was very loud.

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.
