  • 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.

What customers say

Court Farm: conveniently located, peaceful, friendly staff, spacious pitches. Handy for Gloucester/Tewkesbury via public transport. Clean hot showers, though some basic/dated/overwhelmed when busy. A few noted litter/maintenance. Good value stopover.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked The flexibility of being next to other family members. The staff were most helpful and moved others so that we could be together.
We also asked about the check out time for Sat. It was supposed to be 10 am but again the staff were so accommodating and let us stay a little longer so that we could attend a Parkrun at the University and then come back to the site, have breakfast and leave at 12.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Proximity to Gloucester and Tewksbury was good, with the bus stop just outside.

Disliked It seemed that every time I visited the toilet/shower block the door was wide open (with the heating on !!) and the light was left on.
The Wi-Fi is rubbish, just a spot near reception, I was told ( we didn't try it in the end)
Other than that 'niggle' we had a good stay.

Liked Lovely site, quiet, and had decent toilet facilities. We arrived late in the evening but had spoken to the owner beforehand who let us know what to do/where to go, she was very accommodating and helpful.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Wide pitches with plenty of room between pitches.Close to bus stop to take you into town.

Disliked Toilets not cleaned daily. No water on camping site you had to go to the toilets. No WiFi which was my fault for not checking. Had to slog through stones to go back and forwards to the toilet block. Given no information when checking in.

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.
