  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • Many country walks nearby
  • Pub site with beer garden
Hurrah, a pub site! And what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this, pub site peeps: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local nosh and traditional ales and ciders at decent prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy ten minutes from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within three miles and the Forest of Dean eight miles away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and a shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, friendly campsite offering peaceful riverside sites, many with privacy hedges and picnic tables. Facilities, particularly the shower and toilet blocks, are consistently praised as excellent, clean, and spacious. The adjacent George Inn pub is a significant bonus, serving good food and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Easy access from the M5 makes it ideal for stopovers and exploring the local area. The site is also well-equipped for families with a play area.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Excellent facilities, easy access to woods and pathways for dog walking, the hedges between pitches offer some privacy

Disliked The entry/exit point has to be manually opened by a staff member. If the main person operating this is not on duty staff from the pub have to be called (and this is an inconvenience for them) before it is possible to either enter/exit.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Regarding the barrier for future bookings, this has been put in place for security reasons and to make sure the campsite is safe at all times, there is always someone that can open the height barrier either the warden or the pub, this is not an inconvenience to the pub as they take over when the warden is not on site and it’s always worked this way. The lower barrier (under 2m) is for cars to go in and out freely by using a keycard. Please be patient if your vehicle is over 2m when wanting to arrive/exit, we really appreciate this.

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 20 miles away, too.) Two miles away, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Slimbridge reserve gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn, said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the River Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, seven miles away, and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo garden eight miles away (be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season). Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum, ten miles away; Woodchester Mansion, an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland (four and half miles), and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (five miles), thought to be the place where poor old Edward Two saw his last day.
