  • Small site in the grounds of a Callow End traditional village pub
  • A 15-minute drive from the Malvern Hills and Worcester
  • Large beer garden with outdoor tables, play area and chickens
For those couples/travelling parties that frequently face disagreement over whose turn it is to be designated driver, there’s really only one sensible solution: bed down right there at the pub. Dozing off at the bar might be considered a little unseemly, so The Old Bush’s owners Matt and Karen have come up with a better solution and set up pitches in the garden area behind their rural Worcestershire pub. Thus guests can partake of dinners accompanied by a few local ales/ciders before strolling home (to a peaceful corner with drinking water, showers and 24-hour toilets) in just a couple of minutes – how civilised. In fact, the whole setup here is rather civilised: The Old Bush is a traditional country pub in the little village of Callow End, with food available at lunch and dinner times, plus a menu of mini meals for smaller guests. On warmer days the merriment spills out into the garden, where there’s a play area, an aviary and a little flock of chickens along with plenty of tables for open-air drinking, dining and admiring the views over the Malvern hills. Of course, one can’t sit around in the pub all day (well, maybe not every day, anyway…), so it’s worth noting that this is also a handy location for walks, horse riding, games of golf, fishing and days out in Worcester and Malvern (both 15 minutes away by car). Handily, if you do ‘accidentally’ sup one too many at lunchtime there’s a bus stop in the village so you can still get out and about.

What customers say

Highly-rated small campsite behind a traditional pub. Guests rave about friendly staff, great pub food, and clean facilities. Level pitches, though site is sloped. Aviary & Malvern Hills location a plus. Minor notes: shower walk, occasional wildlife noise.

Power optional gravel RV campsite

Liked Loved everything about this site. Small and friendly. The facilities were clean and it was very peaceful. The pub itself serves great food and the cafe/shop is an excellent addition. We will definitely visit again to explore the area’s many footpaths as on this occasion we were only on a one night stop.

Power optional gravel RV campsite

Liked This is such a lovely little campsite and so peaceful despite having everything you could need onsite.

There is a well stocked shop and cafe onsite that does very good food and a pub serving excellent home cooked meals.

The site is on a hill but the pitches are all level. The facilities are excellent and the site is well tended, there is a lovely fountain and bench where you can sit and take in the stunning views of the surrounding area including the Malvern Hills and despite having the cafe and pub onsite the only sound comes from the aviary also onsite.

There are also some very well equipped glamping pods and although I have a campervan I would really love to stay in one some day.

Staff both at the shop and pub all very friendly and I would highly recommend the site to anyone needing a base in the Worcs area and I will return.

Liked The limited spaces to camper up so keeps it small and quiet and the setting is lovely - great shower & facilities and shop/cafe

The Aviary & cutie Budgies

Disliked Cafe only offered Soya and (not GF) Oat milk as non dairy options - sure they had Almond last year - Almond and Coconut are a far better alternative to Soya

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review Cat, I will make sure they get some oat milk in!!

Local attractions

Work up an appetite for that pub dinner and drinks with walks through grassland, heath and woods in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty (15 minutes’ drive). You can also wander with woolly company from Simply Alpaca (25 minutes), play games of golf (10 minutes) or saddle up for horseback hacks (10 minutes’ walk). Guests with an eye for greenery may like to schedule outings to some of the area’s fine gardens: Spetchley Park Gardens (15 minutes) and Showborough House sculpture garden (20 minutes) are both worth a stop, as are the walled gardens at the National Trust’s Croome Court (20 minutes). It’s also worth taking a wander around Worcester (15 minutes) to visit the cathedral and Elgar Birthplace Museum, or to settle down for lengthy day watching the wickets at Worcestershire County Cricket Ground. Upton upon Severn (10 minutes) and Malvern (15 minutes) are other local options for town days.
