  • 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.

Liked: Location and you have got two pubs in easy walking distance to have a nice meal. Only downside as a tourer you have to walk round the edge of the site to get to toilet instead of putting a central pathway and steps in the middle,

Disliked: Long walk to toilet facilities

Liked: Vacinity to the River Severn and close walking distance to Worcester City centre.... Quiet site even over a BH weekend as it is undergoing a full renovation. Jake was lovely, helpful and didn't seem to stop working! Also close to a couple of eating pubs, an Aldi and a B&M store. Great location for exploring local area.....

Disliked: Nothing - great price for a lovely setting....

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Good sized pitch .

Disliked: 1 drinking water tap between pitches 8&9 not great for people pitched on theses pitches . Toilets and showers . No toilet roll in ladies Thursday and Friday had to find someone on site as reception is not manned very often . My husband said Mens were the same only one toilet with toilet paper . Ladies showers and sinks were not cleaned in the 4 days we were on site .. washing up area is attached to the ladies toilets and showers where the door between washing up and the showers does not close properly . . Access to these facilities are not marked from the camp pitches you have to go across the building site to access them . Not good in the dark Another set of steps perhaps half way down the camping pitches as it is too far to walk to the far end and the bank is to steep to get up .

Lovely walk along the river to Worcester city centre.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The actual location was great, within walking distance to Worcester along the river. Pub and Aldi close by for the essentials. Toilet block very nice and modern.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but, the toilets probably could be doing with being checked/cleaned on a daily basis. In order for these to be maintained to the standard that has been set.
Possibly to be done by your site warden, and save you guys money. You then would not have to hire contract cleaners who are not on site on a regular basis. Just a thought for you going forward.😃

From the manager: Thank you so much for a lovely review, The toilet block is only maintained by our own team, Im glad you enjoyed your stay with us,
would love to welcome you again soon

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked: Everything, nice location riverside, 5 minutes walk to Toby carvery and harvester pubs, Aldi and B&M.

30 minutes riverside walk into Worcester, 10 minute drive!

Male, female and family toilets with showers.

Well maintained and looked after site.

Great dog walks too

Loved it!

Disliked: Might sound a little picky!

But Not sure who's responsibility it is, but maybe get some of the bushes, tree branches cut back, fishing pegs opened up, so you can appreciate the lovely flowing river more from MH, caravan,tents, walk way etc!

Also picnic benches would be nice on side of river when cut back for views!

Saftey! Some Lifebouys over grown by weeds bush etc, not accessible if needed!

Liked: The site is still in progress but they are doing a good job
We were met by Jake who was a lovely young guy in the reception and told where everything was.
The new shower block was nice but if the site was full I think they would need another one.
It's in a lovely location with a riverside walk all the way into Worcester Town centre with loads of little walks off it ideal if you have dogs.
I wouldn't recommend it for young children with its proximity to the steep banks down to the river.
Would we return Definitely!!

Disliked: The long walk to empty the toilet

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).
