  • 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.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Small, well laid out site in a lovely location, clean amenities, friendly host. 10 minutes walk to a great pub in one direction and the river Severn in the other direction. Note this is a working farm so whilst it’s a generally peaceful location, at busy farming times there will be earlyish starts.

Liked: Atmosphere really lovely and welcoming. Site great for young children to play and lovely walk to river

Disliked: Pitches felt a bit narrow would have been good to have space for car along side rather than in front of pitch.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Not a huge campsite, which is great with spacious pitches. The location was gorgeous, close to the severn way and the River Severn. Close to a lovely village. Able to have a BBQ and campfire. All the facilities you need. Will be adding this to my list of sites to re-visit if in the area.

Disliked: It is a small site so there are only 2 showers. It was a bit busy in the morning trying to use one.

Liked: only thing good is the Pub in the village, 10 minute walk and outstanding food

Disliked: probably the worst campsite we have stayed on, the water situation on this site is a joke, on several occasion's the water would stop altogether for several minutes, this would happen while showering and washing up, on one occasion the water was freezing until the gas was changed later on in the day, the toilet and shower block was not cleaned at all the whole time of our stay, there was rubbish in the corner of the toilet when we arrived and was still there when we left, on 1 occasion there was no toilet paper in the toilet, there is also no means of drying your hands in any of the toilets, no blower or hand towels, the floor of the shower was disgusting, again not cleaned once in our stay, and nothing there to clean it or sweep the floor yourself, so the floor was always covered in mud and grass, grass on the site is also very long for a campsite which doesn't help the shower floor situation, no where near enough bins on site, both bins were overflowing, only 1 water point, communal lighting although a great idea, is kept on all night so if you were in a tent I'm sure it would be annoying especially as just randomly situated around the site but not around the toilet area so not really of any use. I appreciate this is also a working farm, but if you cannot get the basics right id suggest you don't bother at all!!

Liked: We loved the cosiness of the site, very small, rural, cows were our alarm clock! Close to travel links however still in the heart of the countryside and no noise from anywhere, apart from the cows! Owners were friendly, overall a quality site and would definitely use again I’ve put a 1 for WiFi because there wasn’t any, which is fantastic because I didn’t want it!

Pass the church on your right and West End Farm is on the right in about 250 yards.

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.
