  • No-frills site a five-minute drive from the market town of Berkeley
  • William Tyndale Monument 10 minutes’ drive; Gloucester half an hour
  • Dogs welcome; spectacular views as far as Nibley Knoll
Surrounded by cultivated fields and open countryside, Cockshut Meadow Orchard is a pop-up site on the western fringes of the Cotswolds National Landscape. It welcomes families who are not afraid to embrace a bit of a ‘back-to-basics’ experience. How basic, you ask? Well, there are portable toilets on site, but no showers or washing-up facilities. However, your dog is a welcome guest here (always a bonus, right?), and there are plenty of dog-friendly walks in the vicinity, starting from the little lane adjacent to the site). This location is blissfully peaceful without being entirely cut off from civilisation (the market town of Berkeley – with its shops and dining options – is a five-minute drive away), and there are splendid views across the meadows all the way towards Nibley Knoll, on top of which stands the William Tyndale Monument (10 minutes’ drive). Climb the 120 steps to the summit for spectacular views of the Severn Valley and the Black Mountains of Wales. It’s a 10-minute drive to the Berkeley Pill, a tidal stream close to the Severn, where there are more trails; or you can head to the Saul Canal Junction, with a pretty marina off the Stroudwater Navigation canal.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Relatively quiet site with some road noise and a train track near by. The porta loo was clean and everything functioned with toilet paper and soap provided. Had a message from the owner explaining things which was nice. We were the only one there so our dog could run around without bothering anyone. Walks straight from the site. Ok if you have to stop for one night in that area.

Disliked its a relatively small field , uneven at some parts and you look mainly at a hedge. some road noise

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked A very basic but decent campsite, ideal for an overnight stop. The toilets were clean, and there are bins and a water tap available. The ground is quite uneven.
The only downside is the price. It felt a little expensive for such basic facilities, so the overall value for money could be better.
It's conveniently located close to the road, making it easy to access for a quick stop, although there may be some traffic noise during the night.
The entrance is easy to miss, so drive slowly and keep an eye out for the turning.

From the manager: Regarding value for money, the pitches are offered for 24 hours and or a low density which gives campers larger than average spacing for spreading or playing games. Overnight parking does not take advantage.

'The ground is quite uneven may, inadvertently give a false impression of rough ground. It is regularly mowed with a ride on lawn mower giving a smooth finish. It is laid out in 'ridge and furrow' which seems to be the reference. This is a remnant to it's agricultural background and is designed to drain the land is th wet seasons. It was created some 300 years ago and still works. There is adequate level ground for tents or camper vans.

Signage is low key and may need reviewing..
