  • Family-owned farm site in open countryside with Forest of Dean views
  • Under 10 minutes’ drive from Newnham-on-Severn and 25 to Wye Valley
  • Half a mile from the River Severn and the Severn Way
Big skies, green Gloucestershire countryside and artisan booze: what more could one want on a hol than this trip-boosting trio? If this sounds like just the holiday ticket, seek out Severn Valley Touring Caravan and Camping Site in the village of Awre, less than a five-minute walk from a traditional cider producer and a 10-minute drive to lovely Newnham-on-Severn. The park's also in an easy position to get to, as it's a mile and a half from the A48 Gloucester to Chepstow road and 25 minutes by car from the Wye Valley. Park up, pitch up then sit – cider in hand – to take in the gorgeous views from here (the Forest of Dean and the Malvern Hills are visible on clear days) and watch birds soar through the skies: the site's surrounds are home to creatures like kestrels, buzzards and red kites. Early risers might get a sneak peek of hares around the grounds at dawn too, and barn owls have been spotted in neighbouring fields during dusk in this ancient area once listed in the Domesday book as a royal hunting ground… Whatever the time of day or night, visitors have access to well-designed amenities like a purpose-built toilet and shower block, as well as covered washing-up facilities and a shower room that’s accessible to people with disabilities. Off site, the Severn Way is about half a mile away for roams beside the river. Time your visit right (check timetables online) to get a glimpse of the Severn Bore phenomenon, the surfable waves that roll right through the water at certain times of the year…

What customers say

A wonderfully clean site with private, level pitches. Toilets and showers are spotless. Great for a relaxing rural break, though you'll need the car for supplies. Lovely, helpful hosts.

Shepherd's hut

Liked Loved the location really peaceful. The hut was immaculately clean bath sheets instead of a small bath towels were provided everything was perfectly appointed.

Disliked The wasps in the hedge. It would’ve been quite nice to have wasp trap but understandably it is a rural location and unfortunately wasps are part of our world!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Loved this site. It's absolutely beautiful. I've never seen campsite toilets/showers so clean. Every time I went it looked like it had just been cleaned. The pitches were generous and well maintained. This is a lovely quiet site with a really friendly atmosphere. My sons especially loved Rufus the alpaca and the apple juice made from the apples trees along the drive.

Disliked Nothing

#2 shepherd's hut (family)

Liked A beautifully quiet site, with a sense of privacy created by the hedgerows between spaces. The Shepherd’s hut was impeccably clean and well stocked with all the necessary equipment, and the beds were extremely comfortable. It was lovely that the owners left maps and Severn walks out for you to peruse by the toilet facilities, which were also spotless.
One of the nicest, most peaceful sites we have stayed at. The photos don’t do it justice.
Lots of fun places to visit nearby, but also nice cycling routes and walks if you want to keep the costs down.

Shepherd's hut (family)

Liked A really nice quiet site, friendly, and a great shower block to boot.

Positioned really nicely to explore the area, Bristol and Gloucester both close by.

Great cider available just over the road.

No wifi, but you don't really go out in to the country for internet access... Mobile coverage was ok for EE networks, but patchy on O2.

Disliked Nothing really, great place for a relaxing break

Liked The exceptionally helpful host. The showers and toilet block were always very clean. The pitch was very big with views over the hills , it was beautiful. The hedges around the hard standing with grass pitches were a nice touch that added some privacy. Small and perfect site.

Local attractions

Less than 20 minutes’ drive from the Forest of Dean, this is a solid base for ticking off tourist attractions, taking part in outdoorsy pursuits and shopping in market towns. The Dean Heritage Centre is 15 minutes away for planning wooded walks and more ambles can be had at the National Trust’s Westbury Court Garden in around 10. Other landscapes to lope around in the local area include Lydney Park, a 17th-century country estate with Roman ruins, within a 20-minute drive. If kids start to tire of staying on solid ground, they can take on an adventure course above the treetops at Go Ape (15 minutes' drive); other spots to suit small sorts include the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (20 minutes) and the Forest of Dean Adventure Park (30 minutes). Above-ground adventures complete, seek subterranean times at Clearwell Caves (25 minutes), then glide about at your own leisure in a canoe hired from Symonds Yat (35 minutes).
