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

Great site, large private spots, clean modern loos & hot showers. Friendly staff, esp. Nikki, get loads of praise. Nearby Pepper Pot pub's a hit. Some say M5/rail noise, but it's a minor thing. Easy access for a quick stop or exploring.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely small peaceful site, friendly site manager, homely, toilets always clean, showers hot. Next to the pub - pub garden and bouncy castle/park. Will definately book again if down in that area. Barrier access. Big pitches.

Disliked Small amount of road noise from the M5 but not major enough to worry or complain about. Few car racers at night time on the lane. Not the sites fault, we loved our stay.
