Award-winning Gloucestershire farm site with Malvern Hills views
A 10-minute drive to Tewkesbury; 20 minutes to Gloucester Cathedral
Tractor tours of the animals; on-site café and occasional restaurant

Fans of animal antics, step this way… stay at award-winning Elmwicke Campsite and you'll be on a working farm surrounded by a flock of Jacob sheep, a herd of rare-breed Gloucester cattle, and the Pygmy goats Mabel and Martha, plus Bacon the pig. As you can probably tell, this spot in the Severn Vale is a proper rural retreat, with fabulous views of the Malverns and Bredon Hill to boost your Gloucestershire break. Site owners (and carers to all those animals) Jon and Ruth opened up the site in 2012; they're fourth-generation farmers and you’ll see them at some point during your stay, whether that’s welcoming you in, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good old natter. The campsite is a seven-acre flat field where you can choose your own pitch, and camp together if you’re with friends or family. There’s plenty of space for games of cricket, rugby, football, rounders or flying kites, and the owners are more than happy to take guests on a tractor-trailer ride around the fields to visit the animals. Alongside men’s and women’s loos, the amenities block also has showers and a family room with baby-changing facilities. To help you with keeping everybody clean and tidy, there’s also a laundry area with a washing machine. An on-site café is open for breakfast rolls, pastries and fresh coffee to get you going in the morning, and on some nights you can eat at the pop-up restaurant that's run by a fab local caterer. If you’d rather be self-sufficient, barbecues are allowed on site, and you can order meat packs from the farm, as well as hiring firepits and buying bags of wood, which are delivered daily.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite. Very flat and easy to pitch. Big area for ball games kept the pre-teen entertained. Always enjoy being able to have a campfire and wood could be purchased at time of booking. Being able to buy coffee and breakfast baps in the morning was a nice treat

Disliked: Showers not great - push button only lasted a really short time (which is always annoying) and poor pressure

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome and really spacious field to pitch in. The toilet and showers were exceptionally clean with good quality toiletries. Bus was easy to get into Chelt town and a lovely local pub. Fire pits allowed which makes a proper camping trip! Will definitely be returning.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such but maybe some loos/ portaloo the other side of field so not as far to walk in night for a wee :D

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The campsite is absolutely lovely. We booked last minute for an overnight stay, literally within an hour and a half of arriving and it was no problem. The lady that greeted us was lovely, the facilities are outstanding and clean, there’s even a hairdryer and full length mirror in the bathroom. I’d totally recommend here and would go back again.

Disliked: Nothing.

They can follow treasure trails at Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean (both 50 minutes), where you can also hike forest paths or up the activity levels and get some cycling in. Keen for more exercise? Have a go at skiing or tubing at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, or head for Sandford Parks Lido in Cheltenham (both 25 minutes), with its gorgeous Art Deco architecture and two outdoor pools to cool off in on sunny days. Mooch around indie shops in Tewkesbury (10 minutes), where you can also visit the historic abbey, grab an ice-cream or relax on a boat trip along the Severn and Avon rivers. Mellow-stone Cotswolds towns to add to your itinerary include Broadway (half an hour) for its delightful architecture and design museums, and Stow-on-the-Wold (40 minutes) for its cracking selection of antique shops.
