  • 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.)

Liked: The food at the pepper pot pub was fantastic the steak was tender. Make sure you book a table. Nicky was very welcoming and helpful. Make sure you google the turning into wicks road as it doesn’t look like a road then you might miss it and then don’t follow satnav after missing the turn. Do not turn any other left turns just keep going straight and find an alternative right turn and come back as we missed the turn luckily we didn’t follow satnav.

Liked: Great friendly site, some lovely walks to be had from the site as well. Pub is very good. Toilet block was spotless and everything worked as it should. A lot of the pitches had been taken by a large family group which didn’t bother us at all. It was nice to see kids playing and enjoying themselves instead of being stuck in front of a screen. One of the party came across and tried to apologise for the noise etc as someone had complained but I assured him it didn’t bother us in the slightest and we met some lovely people over the weekend and had a good laugh. I would recommend to anyone.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Everything! Lovely warden came to greet us and show us where everything was. She let us know the code to shower/toilet block. Hardstanding pitch was a great size, and level. Own water tap at the rear. Advised to book a table at the Pepperpot, as it gets very busy. We promptly booked dinner on the Friday and Saturday evening, and also Sunday afternoon. Wow, food was fantastic on all 3 days. The garden was lovely, plenty of tables. The shower and toilet block was immaculate at all times, and the shower was lovely and hot. All staff were excellent and friendly. Our dogs enjoyed it too!

Disliked: Nothing!

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.
