  • Small, friendly campsite on a family-run Gloucestershire farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Gloucester; 20 minutes to Cheltenham
  • Established site since 1946; easy access from the M5
There’s been a campsite at Gables Farm Touring and Camping since way back in 1946… and with a history like that, you can be sure the team here have learnt a thing or two along the way about what makes a good place to stay. The essence of this small, family-run Gloucestershire site is to keep things simple but well done. Bathroom facilities are bright, clean and spacious, with toilets and showers, and there’s also a washing-up area and chemical disposal point for guests to use. And because no good day ever started without a decent breakfast, you can also pick up fresh free-range eggs on site too. Of course, it helps that this is a rather fine location too: in the Severn Vale about 15 minutes’ drive from the centre of Gloucester, and close to the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is just off the A38 and with easy access from the M5 (both northbound and southbound), so getting out and about should be straightforward. Eats and drinks should be in good supply around here, too – if you don’t fancy the trip to Gloucester there are pubs in Whitminster (two minutes’ drive) and Frampton on Severn (10 minutes), or you could venture to the lovely town of Stroud (15 minutes).

Liked Nice welcome, large flat pitch, with electricity at a good price. Having seen other reports, please note, the M5 is 600 yards away as the crow flies, and although you can hear it, the noise is not intrusive. The noise from the A38 is louder as that is 100 yards away, but it is not that busy. The shower and toilet block was clean and functioned well. We only stayed one night but I would go back.

Liked Great location for me easy to find great stop off just by M5. Greeted by the lovely Roger and Sam who personally showed me where I would be staying and all the facilities, very welcoming. Lovely clean, quiet campsite, lots of animals dotted about. I found it quite peaceful. Toilets and showers lovely and clean.

Disliked That I got there late so couldn’t enjoy full day there ☹️

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Quiet, peaceful and clean farm. The toilets and shower facilities were spotless. Grass was cut perfect. Everything was explained on arrival by the host who was the loveliest, most pleasant guy who made us feel very welcome and let us borrow an electric cable too as we forgot ours! Would 100% recommend this site. This was our first time taking our touring caravan out to a pitch and you made our experience brilliant, thank you again x

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The touring site is excellent. Clean and very well presented. The toilet/shower block, the cleanest and smartest putting many other campsites in the shade.
Our welcome by Zak was first class, he even helped with the siting of the caravan, then returning later to check everything was alright.
Overall we were very impressed, obviously the owners have put a lot of thought and money into providing this high-end service to tourists.

Disliked Sadly, there was no dedicated dog walking area where pooch can run free, under supervision of course.
Poor wifi signal.

Local attractions

Keen to experience a bit more of that farming life? Take the kids to Cattle Country Farm Park (15 minutes’ drive) for hands-on activities with the lambs, goats, pigs and rabbits plus all sorts of other fun things including miniature golf, a splash pool, a maize maze and a couple of play barns. Meanwhile, if you prefer open spaces and wildlife, head to WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre (15 minutes) to see what kind of birds you can spot. Around these parts are also several smart rural estates – if you’ve got an eye for a fancy historic house, aim for 12th-century Berkeley Castle or the 19th-century Gothic splendour of Woodchester Mansion (both 20 minutes). Green-fingered guests may instead prefer a wander along the paths of Painswick Rococo Garden (20 minutes). Gloucester (15 minutes) and Cheltenham (20 minutes) are both worth a visit while you’re in the area – and in between the two is the Jet Age Museum (20 minutes), with a fab collection of vintage planes and other aviation memorabilia.
