  • Adults-only park a couple of minutes' drive from the M5
  • Use as an overnight stopover or as a base for Cheltenham or Gloucester
  • Landscaped with mature shrubs, hedges and trees
Apart from a possible pitch on a tower block in the middle of a city, Briarfields Touring Park might be the most ‘leave your car at home’ site we’ve seen yet. Ditch the diesel guzzler or leave the motorhome on site and hitch a ride on one of the regular buses that pass right outside, leading to days’ worth of days out at Cheltenham (two miles away), Gloucester (six miles), Oxford, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds. And if you’re getting around under your own steam, the friendly family team at Briarfields can pick you up from local public transport when you arrive. Even on your own feet you’ll reach most of what you need quickly from the park: a pub and a newsagent are within a few minutes’ walk; an Indian restaurant, KFC and supermarket less than 15 minutes – and a caravan sales and spares dealership is a mile and a half away, just in case. Although Briarfields is only a couple of minutes from the M5 (it’s often used by guests on their way north or south as an overnight stopover), it’s been rather cleverly designed so you can think you’re slap bang in the middle of the countryside: the landscaped and the accommodation areas are edged throughout with mature shrubs, hedges and trees. Amenities are equally well looked after: the centrally placed amenities block is cleaned twice a day and has free hot showers for ladies, gents and disabled guests. Swing into reception when you arrive at Briarfields for reams of info, leaflets and maps on the many (many) things to do a bus ride away: buses run every ten minutes during the day and every 20 minutes in the evening to both Cheltenham and Gloucester, and another service to Oxford will give explorers about six hours in the city before heading back to Cheltenham. Briarfields is open all year round and is dog-friendly.

What customers say

Briarfields gets top marks for spotless facilities, big, neat pitches & friendly staff. Easy access to Cheltenham/Gloucester by bus; shops and foodies nearby. Occasional traffic/plane noise from A40/airport but most don't mind. Return visits are popular for the peaceful, adult-only vibe and thoughtful extras.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The Campsite amenities were well maintained and ability to borrow DVD's to watch was a real treat in the evenings.
As well as the dog run field which allowed us to tire out our dog in the mornings and evenings before returning to the Campervan.

Disliked The noise from the traffic on the busy road, just around the corner from the campsite went on most of the night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.

We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the well-maintained facilities. It’s great to know that our little DVD library helped make your evenings even more enjoyable, and we’re so pleased your dog made good use of Dorothy’s Dog Field for those morning and evening runs.

Thank you also for your comments regarding the nearby road noise. Our convenient location does mean there can be some traffic noise at times, but many guests find the easy access to the M5, Cheltenham and Gloucester, together with the excellent transport links, make it a worthwhile trade-off.

We really appreciate your recommendation and are delighted to hear you would stay with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back to Briarfields in the future.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Your kind comments about the team mean a great deal, and we’ll be sure to share them with everyone. Looking after our guests is what we love to do, so it’s lovely to hear that nothing was too much trouble.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Janet.

We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and that everything met your expectations. It’s especially lovely to know that your dogs enjoyed Dorothy’s Dog Field and that the seating was helpful for you. We wanted it to be a welcoming space where everyone could relax, so your comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you also for your helpful suggestion about providing water in the dog field during periods of very hot weather. It’s something we’ll certainly give some thought to, as we always welcome ideas that could make our guests’ stays even more comfortable.

We’re also very grateful for your kind private feedback. It’s wonderful to hear you appreciated the warm welcome from the team, the peaceful surroundings, our convenient location and the ANPR entry system.

Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you and your dogs back to Briarfields again very soon.

Local attractions

Well. Where do we start? At least a day in Cheltenham first, we think – more if you’re coming to have a flutter at the racecourse just four miles away or jazzing it up at one of the many festivals. Catch the bus early to take in as much as poss: a morning coveting the art, furniture, crafts and jewellery at Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum, many created by Cotswold craftspeople inspired by William Morris, should build up an appetite for lunch and an afternoon of shopping around The Brewery, Bath Road and in the well-lined High Street. Harry Potter fans and the history-inclined will likely want an hour or two at medieval Gloucester Cathedral, used in the first and second films (see if you recognise the Cloisters). Away from Hogwarts, the cathedral has an award-winning exhibition centre, exhibitions and guided tours, and regular events and concerts including The Three Choirs Festival, one of the oldest classical choral music festivals in the world. The Gloucester Docks and award-winning Waterways Museum is also a good afternoon out for heritage fans, while the more modern can find plenty to occupy them at the waterside retail park Gloucester Quays. Plunge into the countryside next for a couple of days in the Cotswolds, where you’ll find acres of things to do whatever your inclination such as punting around local villages like Chipping Camden and Bourton-on-the-Water, or visiting the many museums ranging from Roman to motoring times. Wildlife options abound too, particularly for birders, with the Cotswold Falconry Centre at the Batsford Arboretum, geese and swans at Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and Birdland Park and Gardens in Bourton-on-the-Water where twitchers can see rare birds from around the world, including England’s only group of king penguins. Finally, take a day or two in the ancient Forest of Dean (Harry Potter and co ended up here too), one of the oldest woodlands in the country, to go underground at the old mines of the Clearwell Caves, hire a bike to hit the forest tracks, or, more relaxingly, take the four and a half mile trip from Lydney to Parkend on the Dean Forest Railway.
