  • 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 with spacious, private pitches. Close to Severn walks and a good village pub. Facilities are clean but could be improved. Great for a peaceful break, though farm noise and flies can be an issue.

Terri H.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We booked for 2 nights but due to the wonderful British weather only stayed 1 as getting the bell tent dry this time of year is a nightmare, our first impressions were how clean and well laid out it was, small hedges separate each pitch to give some privacy, the wash up facilities are perfectly adequate and the bathrooms are clean and free showers are a bonus. All in all for our grandsons first camping trip it ticked all the boxes. We will definitely be back

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Electric grass pitch

Liked The entire area for us with a 7 year old was amazing. It was on/off grid on in the sense we had electric. Off grid due to unreliable data signal.

All the campers were so friendly, one couple even let my wife walk their dog! Thank you to the owners of Luca.

Graham S.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site in a fantastic location just outside the village of Arlingham.
Two mins down the track from the site onto the banks of the Seven with miles of paths to walk and not a road in sight. Doggy heaven. And that's just before breakfast 😊

The non electric grass pitches are separated by mini hedges which is nice and are sheltered from the winds.

Toilet block wasn't the cleanest (not terrible) but is now being looked after by a longer term camper for a few weeks so good.

Five mins walk from a nice village pub. Real ale served. Two mins walk from the farm cafe open Fri, Sat, Sun.
Got to say, local people are extremely welcoming.

To those who complain about farm smells.
Remember that this is a working farm and the site is adjacent to the silage and sheds over the lane. There is a bit of machinery clanking and silage/muck smells on occasions. The countryside isn't the frozen set of a Constable painting!

Disliked Nowt.

Paul S.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Tranquil small site different areas for the hard standing to the grass and tent area. Good shower and loo facilities at one end. Water, disposal area for chemicals and assorted bins near our hardstanding. This was a trial run in our small caravan and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. A short walk to the Severn and local pub, coffee shop. Delightful views and Slimbridge wetlands a short drive, well worth a visit.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Good location just outside the village, we visited The Red Lion pub twice, which was exceptional in terms of food and service. There are lots of really lovely walks all around the river and into the village. Look on The Red Lion’s website, where you can print off the walks before you arrive.

Disliked Nothing really. As others have said the toilets and showers could be cleaner, I never saw anyone clean the toilets over a 3 day period.
Not a dislike, but I don’t believe there is a shop in the village, so make sure you go with supplies or be prepared to drive out for shopping.

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.
