  • 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.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Really loved the surroundings. It was very peaceful and serene. Had a relaxing couple of days and met the owner, who was a genuinly nice guy. Like other I can highly recommend the Red Lion pub at the end of the road.

Disliked: No dislikes at all though a suggestion if I may. How about a few stepping stones to the taps, chemical toilet and bins. It was very muddy when we stayed and I think stepping stones would have been a great addition

We would definitely use this site again and happily recommend it.

STEWART E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Really loved the relaxed approach from the owners. They came to say hello when we arrived, made sure we were ok then left us to enjoy our stay. The site was small but had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The area was superb as was the welcome and food at the local pub, The Red Lion.

Disliked: There was nothing we disliked but a couple of things that could enhance the stay for visitors... Designated stone or paved walkways to the water and waste points. (The grass was very long). A hose provided at the waste point so we could wash down the waste facility after use because when you lifted the lid it did smell a bit.

Great site in a peaceful spot with clean, well maintained facilities.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: A very quiet peaceful spot (apart from the nesting crows who were up very early!). Clean, well maintained toilets. I didn’t arrive until after dark and left early next morning but I was very grateful for the lighting along the path to the toilet block. A short walk down to the river which would be lovely in summer but had some large puddles (like the rest of the country after the wet winter we’ve had!) Even in the short time I was there this felt like a proper campsite - simple and yet well maintained with smells and sounds of the farm and countryside. I would like to come back in summer.

Disliked: It might have been helpful to have a little sign at the end of the path confirming that the toilets were at the other end but that was only because I arrived after dark. I was happy to go exploring! With all the gravel pitches taken and cars parked by caravans there was limited turning space. This had resulted in wheels cutting up the grass in places.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Love the peacefulness and the toilet/shower block always clean It’s our second stay in the last month… like the new solar lite path to the toilets … site always spotlessly clean…. Minimal but absolutely perfect to relax and go for walk or visit the local

Disliked: Definitely not a dislike but a suggestion.. maybe stepping stones or path to bin area and fresh water tap would be brilliant

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Peaceful location, nice views/nature, good gravel pitch. Basic but good facilities, everything you need, nicely kept and decorated small shower/toilet block, good walks /dog walking along the estuary and through the forest, lots of birdsong first thing in the morning.

Disliked: No hand drying facilities in the toilets, no paper towels, hand towels or hand dryer. Local Dog walkers allowing their dogs to run into the site across your pitch. Not great when own dog sat quietly tethered on own pitch or for people who don't like or are afraid of dogs. No bus service on Saturdays or Sundays so have to drive or long walk to neighbouring villages.

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 first-class mid-Wales scenery. (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.
