  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • A 10-minute drive from the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • Pub site with beer garden; many country walks nearby
Hurrah, a pub site, and what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local food and traditional ales and ciders at reasonable prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy five-minute drive from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within 10 minutes' drive and the Forest of Dean 50 minutes away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and a shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

This tidy site has roomy, private spots, many with river views. The modern, clean facilities, especially individual bathrooms, get rave reviews. The attached pub, The George Inn, is a highlight for great food at fair prices. Friendly staff and easy M5 access make it perfect for stopovers or exploring.

Liked Location, local pub and walks, good bus service and site facilities all good .
A good welcome and our pitch was excellent. Thank you.

Disliked Slight bit of noise from fellow campers until the early hours of Sunday morning- suggest a time limit guidance of 11.00 for latest noise.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

Just wanted to add for future guests, we have rules which are on your welcome sheet and one of them is noise must be kept to a minimum after 10pm, this has always been in place and if unacceptable noise is reported to the warden this will be dealt with straight away. If there is something the guests are not happy with they must always speak with the warden as soon as possible.

We will definitely stay again .

Powered grass site (XL)

Liked Private XL pitch was a great space and with a picnic table , had its own tap but beware you can’t use direct feed or connected aqua rolls which we didn’t know you can only fill up from the tap and roll it away because of the low water pressure.
Great pub and playground onsite

Disliked Key card entry system you had to physically leave the car each time to open the electric gate which was a pain ..grass and hedges needed cutting but don’t let this put you off..it’s a lovely site 5 mins off M5.

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 40 minutes' drive away, too.) WWT Slimbridge (10 minutes) gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn (five minutes), said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the river Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, (40 minutes), and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo Garden (half an hour); be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season. Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum (25 minutes); Woodchester Mansion Trust (20 minutes), an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland, and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (10 minutes), thought to be the place where poor old Edward II saw his last day.
