  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • Many country walks nearby
  • Pub site with beer garden
Hurrah, a pub site! And what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this, pub site peeps: 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 nosh and traditional ales and ciders at decent 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 ten minutes 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 three miles and the Forest of Dean eight miles 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 shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (no awning)

Liked: Very pleasant site with decent sized grass pitches. Had a nice walk alongside the river. Friendly warden. Clean toilet block.

Disliked: Bit far from shops, take aways,etc, for us without use of a car (we were in a motorhome)which limits our time there. Pub food seemed expensive for what it was

Kate H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent site

Liked: We wanted somewhere local near to where we lived and this was perfect - a small site in perfect settings by the river in the countryside. Four of us on two pitches next to each other, with two medium sized tents and our own electric hook up. We had plenty of room for the two cars and we also had a bench table which was great for sitting together enjoying our meals and evening drinks. It was next to the George and the food was lovely. Facilities were excellent, probably the best showers and toilets we have experienced on a site before. Close to the canal and did a lovely walk to the Tudor Inn along the canal. We will definitely be coming back!

Disliked: Nothing it was perfect!

Powered grass site

Liked: Great location - ideal for exploring the local area (especially by bike and walking), also conveniently within 10mins of the M5 motorway. Good sized pitches, well maintained site with excellent main Shower and Toilet Block (spotlessly clean). Additional Toilets on site. Good pub adjacent (but not too close to create noise !).
Also big plus …. the Site Manager (and her partner) that look after the site ! They are both friendly and welcoming whilst also trying their best to look after customers and maintain the site (10/10). THANK YOU 👍😀😀

Disliked: Nothing really, just an observation.
One improvement to consider may be the provision of Shower Mats as the trays can be quite slippery to stand on. Having said that, to be clear the Shower Block is a superb facility, very roomy and spotlessly clean. It also usefully has a Washing Machine.

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, 20 miles away, too.) Two miles away, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Slimbridge reserve 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, 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, seven miles away, and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo garden eight miles away (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, ten miles away; Woodchester Mansion, an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland (four and half miles), and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (five miles), thought to be the place where poor old Edward Two saw his last day.
