  • Dog-friendly site 10 minutes’ walk from riverside Upton upon Severn
  • Malvern Hills five minutes’ drive, and Tewkesbury 15 minutes
  • Fishing on site; restaurants and marina nearby in Upton
Black-and-white houses, a stunning riverside, a packed schedule of festivals and pubs to please fond-of-food punters: that’s a snapshot of Upton upon Severn, a waterside town 10 minutes’ walk away from The Old Allotments in Worcestershire. The USPs for this low-key site are just as pleasing: dog-friendly pitches, fishing on the banks of the Severn and facilities that include toilets and showers, an Elsan point and a washing-up sink. With such a handy location so close to the town, riverside walks or cruising down the river on a hire boat could soon be on the horizon – Upton upon Severn has a busy marina with a bar, restaurant and boat hire. There are supermarkets five minutes’ walk from the site as well as pubs, eateries and takeaways a little further away. Regular events take place at the Three Counties Showground (10 minutes’ drive), and The Old Allotments is also a handy base for exploring the natural beauty of Malvern Hills National Landscape.

What customers say

A well-kept, friendly spot with generous pitches. A handy walk to Upton-upon-Severn's shops and pubs. Facilities are clean, if basic. Some road noise possible, but generally fine. Secure entry. Many want to come back!

Powered grass and earth caravan site

Liked Spacious pitches, own water supply with the ehu, very quiet, lovely owners, very welcoming.... always available but generally just leave you to it. Lovely walks. Lovely dog friendly town with lots of pubs and eateries less than 10 minute walk away with a supermarket less than 5 minute walk away.
No real shower closing time so shower now or less any time. There's only 2 but we never queued.
We will certainly be stopping here again

Disliked Road a bit noisy but got used to it

Powered grass and earth caravan site

Liked Handy little ‘find’ … no fuss & all you need including clean loos ! Good security entry system to field. Owners stay in the background so ✔️.. Picnic benches dotted about for all to use.
Safe walking distance from town & pubs. Morrisons a short walk from site gates!
Seems the pubs (good food) benefit from all the music events rather than the town (which is run down).

Disliked Adjacent to busy main road tho that didn’t bother us ..

Powered grass and earth caravan site

Liked Nice that we were allowed to park next to friends the way we wanted to. Easy 10 min walk into Upton, take a torch though. Great walks in the surrounding area. 2 sets of 2 toilets and 2 shower units including a toilet, kept very clean. We parked the furthest from the road and the main noise we had was a woodpecker who thought he could get through metal. 1 sink for dishwashing, elsan toilet and bins.

Disliked Another toilet and shower block would be better especially if the site was busy as well as another dishwashing area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice secure site, but toilet and shower block is small .

Powered grass and earth caravan site

Liked Lots of space around the site and electrical hookup with water on the EHU stand. Close to Upton upon Seven, less than 10 minutes walk. Had a picnic table to use as well in our pitch (16) . Site is safe behind locked gates.

Disliked The toilet block is dated, useable and tidy but only 2 male and 2 female cubicals . I can imagine that when the site is busy the block won’t be able to cater for lots of users. Also, it was frosty on our first morning and the heating didn’t appear to be working so the block was very cold.

Local attractions

Fancy a trip out? Before you set off, check in with the tourist office in Upton upon Severn, as the town has regular summer music festivals and events. You may also like to hire a barge to float down the River Severn, or bone up on local history at the town’s Tudor House Museum or Pepperpot Heritage Centre. As well as a number of half-timbered traditional pubs, Tewkesbury (15 minutes’ drive) is known for its splendid abbey with ornate stained-glass windows and tombs from the War of the Roses. There’s a medieval library in the Norman/Gothic cathedral at Worcester (half an hour), along with fine china exhibits at the Museum of Royal Worcester and local history displays in the City Art Gallery and Museum. Of course, the edge of the Malvern Hills National Landscape is only five minutes’ drive away for alfresco adventures on foot or by bike. You can scramble up to the Iron Age’s British Camp Hill Fort (15 minutes) for staggering views over Herefordshire and Worcestershire, or cycle the signposted network of bike trails across the region.
