  • Small family-run site on an organic cattle farm
  • Adjacent to the River Severn and close to the Severn Way
  • Community-owned village pub within walking distance
Set in a perry pear orchard on an organic cattle farm: that sounds almost poetic. As are the views from the spectacularly scenic little place of West End Farm Campsite, set in the horseshoe bend of the River Severn on the edge of the peaceful Gloucestershire village of Arlingham, and adjacent to the river with easy access to the footpaths of the Severn Way. A rather smashing pub is within easy walking distance too: the Red Lion freehouse (owned by the village, hurrah) with tiptop locally sourced food, real ale and regular events like quiz nights and folk nights – all just the ticket after a peaceful pedal or serene stroll along the river paths or region's quiet flat roads…? West End Farm has a toilet block and chemical disposal. Both barbecues and campfires are allowed on site.

What customers say

A peaceful, rural escape perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, near the River Severn. Private, well-spaced pitches, clean facilities, and a great on-site cafe. Enjoy the relaxed vibe and local pub, though occasional farm smells and variable water pressure were noted.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The campsite was a lovely and peaceful little site, with ample toilets, showers and washing up area. We stayed in a non-electric grass pitch and the separating hedges between each pitch made it feel very private. We walked to the local pub for a drink, which was very nice and only 10 minutes walk. Would definitely recommend for a budget campsite.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Grass pitches are separated by hedges which I like. Other campers friendly. 2 toilets with showers and one toilet and all were clean. Showers good pressure. Washing up area has one sink. Close to stunning walks and a lovely pub. Highlight is the Farmers Yard cafe on the farm which has delicious food all day and comfy seating area outside.

Disliked As a solo camper I understand I pay for the two person pitch but would appreciate some discount when only solo. This is the same for many sites.

Powered grass campsite

Liked A very peaceful site within a loop of the river Severn. Perfect for cycles into Gloucester, Slimbridge & Berkeley Castle.

We’ve been before and will probably come back again. This is a relaxed site with adequate facilities.

Disliked If you’re looking for pristine and well manicured, this isn’t for you. We weren’t, we wanted relaxed and comfortable and were very happy

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The campsite location and pitches were lovely, there is a self-checkin system that helps with a flexible arrival that I really liked. Also the owner was very friendly and there was a great chill vibe in general

Disliked The toilet were unfortunately very dirty, and the bins next to the washing up station were quite smelly too - we could smell it from the pitch when the wind picked up a bit

Local attractions

West End Farm Campsite's local village is Arlingham, also in the River Severn's horseshoe bend and just off Junction 13 of the M5. The area around the village is fab walking and cycling land, of public footpaths, riverside ambles and flat peaceful roads – all set among the first-class scenery of the England/Wales border area. (Don't know where to start? Ask at the Red Lion for details of their hare, salmon, cattle and skylark wanders.) A couple of miles from the farm is the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, running between Sharpness and the old docks of Gloucester. It's a pleasant place to while away a few meandering hours, particularly around Patch Bridge, close to the Wildfowl Reserve at Slimbridge which has the world's biggest collection of captive wildfowl. Other local options are Berkeley and the Edward Jenner Museum, where the clever chap first figured out vaccination, and Berkeley Castle, where poor old Edward 2 met his grisly end. Gloucester Cathedral is nine miles from the site; a little further afield are the Norman castle of Goodrich and the Tudor National Trust-managed house of Newark Park.
