  • Green and spacious park in Gloucestershire
  • On-site restaurant famous for its excellent food
  • Seven miles to Sharpness Canal and Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust
Greenery and space are on the menu at The Pepper Pot Caravan Park near Dursley in Gloucestershire, which is kept tiptop by its on-site and friendly wardens, who live in and are to hand for any advice or help needed by Pepper Potters during their stay. Facilities are well-maintained and in a purpose-built shower and loo block; an indoor washing-up area and a coin-operated washing machine are also on site. But the best part of The Pepper Pot? Its on-site bar and bistro, The Pepper Pot pub, with decently priced home-cooked meals using the best of local ingredients from local suppliers, such as salads, burgers and quality matured steaks. (If you think your little mover and shaker won't fancy a steak, they have plenty to pick from on the children's menu.)

What customers say

This site is clean, well-kept, and welcoming, with praised spacious, level pitches with water hook-ups. Showers/toilets are spotless. The pub gets high marks for food/atmosphere. Easy M5 access, though some note traffic noise, found unobtrusive by most. Some mention limited kids'/dog amenities.

Liked Efficient, organised arrival, friendly and helpful receptionist. Easily accessible powered site. We chose this Dursley site - 27 mins from Marmesbury (Potting Shed Pub we had special meal booked).

Disliked Toilet/shower block could be slightly warmer. Was adequate. One degree higher would make all the difference.

Liked We booked this as a last minute getaway over half term. On arrival to the site, we were greeted by a sign to ring the warden to gain entry - we did so and met her at reception, a lovely lady and very helpful.

The site was very quiet, but given it's remote with very little to do in the immediate area, this was not a surprise. I get the distinct impression that this site is commonly used as a stop off point for people on longer journeys or people working near by. It's close to the motorway, so an ideal stop off point, albeit with some mildly tricky lanes to traverse if you are towing.

The toilet, shower and dish wash facility were spotlessly clean with good pressure in the shower and nice and warm too. Well stocked with toilet paper, and nice to see hand towels as well as the hand driers. The showers were very spacious too, with hooks to hand stuff so it didn't get wet.

There is a pub next to the site - as I understand it's ran by someone unrelated to the caravan site - but the pub was nice to have - the drink selection is small - but the food here was nice, again super handy if you are stopping over for a night.

We didn't use them, but there were a few static caravans on site, which looked to be available to rent for some nights - externally they were clean and very well maintained - so worth noting for anyone considering this accomodation.

The site was quite well lit at night, with some lighting around the site, so it wasn't pitch black, despite being a remote area. Decent mobile signal, and clear access to the skies to connect Starlink too.

Disliked We didn't find this problematic - but the site is close to the motorway, and a train track, so there was some light noise from those - it wasn't by any means disruptive but worth nothing.

There appeared to be no baby change facilities in the mens toilet/shower rooms which was a little disappointing - but as I mentioned above, the facilities were spotless, so I had no issue popping my travel baby changing mat on the floor and changing my son there.

The showers are a single button push to turn it on, with no temperature control - they last about 30 seconds before needing to push it again - we found the temperature a little problematic, as it was really quite hot - and my young son would have found it too hot and if you prefer a cooler shower, you'd certainly find this too hot, that being said, I imagine most people would love the warmth of these showers.

Local attractions

The Pepper Pot Caravan Park is in a decent spot to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire and its surrounds, particularly for those who like their wildlife or historic homes. Plenty of other activities and attractions can be found within ten miles. Two golf clubs are within a quick drive, the Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club two and a half miles away and the Cotswold Edge Golf Club within five. Also within a short drive are Berkeley Castle and the Vale of Berkeley (two and a half miles) and the Cattle Country Adventure Park (two miles) for yee-haw adventuring. Wildlife types have the River Severn Estuary and the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust to explore within six and seven miles respectively, with more species to see at Oldown Country Park eight miles away; wildfowl and other critters along the nearby Gloucester to Sharpness Canal, and Dean Forest and the Wye Valley 11 miles from base. More into historic homes, local history or greenery? Take your Pepper Pot pick from the National Trust's Woodchester Mansion and park or Westbury Court Gardens (seven and 11 miles); Chavenage House and the National Arboretum at Westonbirt (both ten miles), or the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks 16 miles away. The Pepper Pot team also recommends a punt at Chepstow Racecourse, 11 miles away; a look at the longest village green in England at Frampton On Severn nine and a half miles away, or a dip at Dursley Pool and Sports Centre within five and a half miles. For day trips, sink into some shopping and sightseeing at Bristol or spa city Bath.
