  • On the banks of the River Severn, two miles from Worcester city centre
  • Close to the M5, 15 minutes' drive from the Malvern Hills
  • Fishing on site; riverside walk from site to city centre
City strolls or countryside wanders – which one might you fancy while on your Worcestershire break? If the answer is ‘a bit of both, actually’ then you’ll likely find Ketch Caravan Park a most convenient spot indeed. This peaceful and family-friendly park with spacious pitches is on the banks of the River Severn, around two miles from Worcester city centre. A riverside footpath runs from the site to the city’s shops and attractions; alternatively you can drive it in five minutes or so. As well as providing pleasant strolls into town, the river also supplies a pretty backdrop for the site, with the Malvern Hills visible in the distance (another good place for lovely long stroll, of course). Guests can go fishing in the river directly from the site too. Getting in, out and around to local attractions is very straightforward from here: the park is handily placed close to the A4440 and only a few minutes’ drive from the M5. That makes it both a nifty stopover point on a longer motorway journey and a good place to settle for rural rambles (with a dog, if you’ve got one you’d like to bring along on holiday) and days out visiting the likes of Tewkesbury, Snowshill Manor and Evesham. Barbecues are allowed on site, and there’s a rather handy supermarket just outside the site for supplies if you don’t fancy the trip to town for dinner. As for the site’s own facilities, they include a modern amenities block with showers and toilets including a family room and wet room, a laundry room and a washing-up area. There is also a chemical disposal point on site.

What customers say

This recently updated campground boasts a lovely riverside spot near Worcester. Guests rave about the clean, modern restrooms, helpful staff, and tranquil vibe. While the walk from touring pitches to facilities is a bit long, it’s understandable given flood risks. Some areas are still under development.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Very easy to get to from the M5. We were then met by the site wardens, Tanya and Jim who were absolutely lovely! Jim then took us to our clean, spacious pitch and gave us the lowdown, with lots of extra info about places nearby. During our stay Tanya and Jim were very helpful with any questions that we had. The site was well kept, with clean toilets, and had lovely views. Also, the 2 min walk to Aldi, b&m, Toby carvery and harvester came in very handy!!

We will definitely be returning!

Disliked Nothing at all!

Liked Thank you for a lovely stay. The site fits the description exactly. The site is well managed and the ramp to the toilet blocks is a good addition. The Toby carvery is on the doorstep and very dog friendly. The trains from Worcester Foregate street are in walking distance along the banks of the Severn River. For a solo traveller with two tails this meant I could leave the camper on-site and explore Worcester and surrounding areas.

Disliked Storm Dave ! 🤣

Liked Level pitches. Great riverside position.
Toilet block very clean and well appointed.
Site is close to M5 J7 and close to Worcester centre.

Disliked All pitches are a long walk from the toilet block. Chemical waste disposal is nowhere near toilet block and not marked on map.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review
The toilet blocks are located on the static level away from the river edge because of flood risk on the lower field.
Thanks
Emma

Local attractions

Presumably you’ll want to start in Worcester – and that’s a good choice, whether you amble along the riverbank or take the five-minute drive. Once you’re in the city centre, stop by at the cathedral and the Tudor House Museum for a sense of the area’s history and admire the pretty pieces on display at the Museum of Royal Worcester. There’s more history to be explored at places like the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings (20 minutes’ drive), where you can see a collection of restored and rebuilt buildings of various kinds, and the smart Eastnor Castle (half an hour) and Snowshill Manor and Gardens (40 minutes). Meanwhile, music buffs can follow the Elgar Route to take in some of the scenery that inspired the composer and see some of the places where he lived and worked. For some outdoor time, explore the grounds of Spetchley Park Gardens (five minutes), which has been in the same family for over 400 years, or head to the highest point in the Malvern Hills at Worcestershire Beacon (20 minutes).
