  • 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…

Lee J.

Shepherd's hut

Liked This is our third visit this year. We love how calm and peaceful it can be and how great the facilities are. Joanne is really helpful and makes you feel welcomed. We normally stay in our VW T6, but decided to try out one of the Shepherds huts. We stayed in 'Peregrine' and it had everything you needed for a lovely weekend away. Really cosy, clean and comfortable, with a shower and toilet included. We will definitely look to book again. Great space to either chill for the day or have a base to go exploring.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked A peaceful and secluded site in the countryside with large pitches. Fabulous toilet block and washing up area with hot water. Liked that there were no dogs due to nearby farm animals. Owner very friendly and left us some apples from their trees. No shops nearby so make sure you have provisions.

Disliked Nothing apart from poor phone signal.

Nathan H.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Beautiful site in a peaceful location, extremely well kept, secure and welcoming with great, clean facilities and some farm animals. Great sized, flat pitches with electric, water and drainage in good positions to caravan and the pitches are nice and private with hedges each side.
Facilities are only a short walk from the pitches and they are kept immaculate and warm with showers, toilets, washing up sinks, chemical waste disposal and rubbish disposal and all available 24hrs. Good level of phone signal at our pitch too and this has got to be one of the best sites we have been too.

The owners were very friendly, helpful and welcoming and there were free apples and apple juice available to buy which both tasted delicious and made us want to buy a red falstaff apple tree 😋

Site is in a good location with alot of activities nearby or within an hours drive with local restaurants and shops not far away, also situated in a nice little village which I ran around a few times during our stay.

Slightly narrow road to get to the site but with plenty of passing places if needed, we met some tractors on our way to the site but easily backed up into an entrance while they passed.

Disliked Not so much a dislike but just so others are aware to bring a torch as there is no lighting on site except for around the facilities. This wasn't an issue and it made the site more peaceful and you could see the stars clearly with no light pollution.

#2 shepherd's hut (family)

Liked This site is so clean and well laid out with many thoughtful extras. Our shepherds hut was immaculate,cosy and good value. The owner even braved driving rain and gales of Storm Amy to drop off our water bottle and welcome us.
It was our first stay at a dog free site and it was great not to have to worry about the kids treading in anything unpleasant or nuisance dogs barking at night .Not something I have considered before when booking, but we found that we really liked that policy.
We will definitely book again and explore the area more. Thankyou for a great break.

Disliked Nothing to dislike at all.

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).
