  • 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

Great site, spacious pitches (some river views). Top-notch private bathrooms and friendly staff (Georgia gets a shout-out!). The George Inn is a popular bonus with awesome food. Ideal stopover spot with nice walks. Occasional road noise and pitches can feel tight when busy.

Liked Plenty of showers and very clean. Pitch was nice, quiet. The George itself was great with a Thursday night steak deal. Food was great. Easy to get to from the M5.

Disliked People not cleaning up after their dogs was annoying, but a factor of modern Britain unfortunately.

Powered grass site (XL)

Liked Really good toilet and shower facilities. Pub on your doorstep that was large and served food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed our stay but we wouldn't stay again.

Disliked I felt the pitches were too close to each other as well as directly opposite your pitch so privacy isn't great. Also, people walked through our pitch to get water as the water point was on our pitch. The busy main road could be heard at all times of the day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

Just to clarify other guests should not be walking onto other pitches, if this happens regularly the warden needs to be informed. The water taps on the XL pitches are for that pitch only, just no permanent hook up to water is allowed due to pressure for future guests.

Very quiet and friendly…

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.
