Pepper pot cafe bar

  • Green and spacious park in Gloucestershire
  • Seven miles to Sharpness Canal and Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust
  • On-site café-bar serving breakfast, coffee and lunch
Greenery and space are on the menu at The Pepper Pot Caravan Park near Dursley in Gloucestershire, which is kept tiptop by its on-site and friendly wardens, who live in and are on hand for any advice or help needed by Pepper Potters during their stay. Facilities are well-maintained and in a purpose-built shower and loo block; an indoor washing-up area and a coin-operated washing machine are also on site. But one of the greatest bits about The Pepper Pot Caravan Park? The Pepper Pot Café Bar, a place to get your mitts on traditional breakfasts, fresh coffee, light lunches and children's meals every morning and afternoon. This is a very decent spot to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire and its surrounds, particularly for those who like their wildlife or historic homes. Two golf clubs are within a quick drive, as is Berkeley Castle (10 minutes' drive away) and the Cattle Country Farm Park (five minutes' drive).

What customers say

Spacious, level pitches with spotless facilities. Staff are super friendly and helpful, with the site manager a real star. Pub next door is great for a grub. M5/railway noise is minimal for most. Dog walking area a bit small, occasional road hum.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Ok site. Lovely pub on site unfortunately stopped doing food at 5pm and as the site description and reviews said it did food we didn’t take much with us as thought we would eat there.

Disliked We were on gravel pitch 6 and wished we’d chosen a grass pitch as the pitch we were on was more like parking spaces, no grass or hedge separation and other campers would walk right by our van using it as a walkthrough to the loos. One guy nearly hit his head on our back open window.
No hand soap in ladies at any point of our stay

3 bedroom static caravan

Liked Lovely pit stop

Disliked Wow, the noise from the motorway was loud...

I think the end of the runway at local Bristol airport would have been quieter

Yes, yoh will say if I done my research blah blah blah but that was loud

My opinion

Other than that, lovely

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Not too far from the M5, as was a stop off enroute to Cornwall

Disliked When we booked the site was advertised as having a pub adjacent, which we intended to have a meal in. On arrival we were informed that the pub had closed down, and was now a cafe, only serving in the daytime, we was offered discount at a pub some distance away, this wasn't convenient as we were travelling in a motorhome.
This aside, the site is ok, it's very close to the motorway and railway so a lot of "traffic" noise.
The hard standing pictures are gravel and grey dust, it I imagine would be quite dirty in rainy conditions

3 bedroom static caravan

Liked Caravan was spotless, parking right next to it, no noisy guests, reception team extremely helpful and very accommodating when I had an emergency - thank you that meant a lot. A small site covering all the basics. This is our 2nd visit, previously in our own caravan, and we’re booked to come back again in a couple of weeks, so says it all. Yes it’s next to the motorway, you can hear the noise but after a short while it becomes background noise and it definitely didn’t affect our sleep otherwise we’d not be coming back.

Local attractions

The Pepper Pot Caravan Park is in a decent spot to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire and its surrounds, particularly for those who like their wildlife or historic homes. Plenty of other activities and attractions can be found within ten miles. Two golf clubs are within a quick drive, the Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club two and a half miles away and the Cotswold Edge Golf Club within five. Also within a short drive are Berkeley Castle and the Vale of Berkeley (two and a half miles) and the Cattle Country Adventure Park (two miles) for yee-haw adventuring. Wildlife types have the River Severn Estuary and the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust to explore within six and seven miles respectively, with more species to see at Oldown Country Park eight miles away; wildfowl and other critters along the nearby Gloucester to Sharpness Canal, and Dean Forest and the Wye Valley 11 miles from base. More into historic homes, local history or greenery? Take your Pepper Pot pick from the National Trust's Woodchester Mansion and park or Westbury Court Gardens (seven and 11 miles); Chavenage House and the National Arboretum at Westonbirt (both ten miles), or the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks 16 miles away. The Pepper Pot team also recommends a punt at Chepstow Racecourse, 11 miles away; a look at the longest village green in England at Frampton On Severn nine and a half miles away, or a dip at Dursley Pool and Sports Centre within five and a half miles. For day trips, sink into some shopping and sightseeing at Bristol or spa city Bath.
