  • Small, friendly campsite on a family-run Gloucestershire farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Gloucester; 20 minutes to Cheltenham
  • Established site since 1946; easy access from the M5
There’s been a campsite at Gables Farm Touring and Camping since way back in 1946… and with a history like that, you can be sure the team here have learnt a thing or two along the way about what makes a good place to stay. The essence of this small, family-run Gloucestershire site is to keep things simple but well done. Bathroom facilities are bright, clean and spacious, with toilets and showers, and there’s also a washing-up area and chemical disposal point for guests to use. And because no good day ever started without a decent breakfast, you can also pick up fresh free-range eggs on site too. Of course, it helps that this is a rather fine location too: in the Severn Vale about 15 minutes’ drive from the centre of Gloucester, and close to the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is just off the A38 and with easy access from the M5 (both northbound and southbound), so getting out and about should be straightforward. Eats and drinks should be in good supply around here, too – if you don’t fancy the trip to Gloucester there are pubs in Whitminster (two minutes’ drive) and Frampton on Severn (10 minutes), or you could venture to the lovely town of Stroud (15 minutes).

What customers say

This neat, safe spot has great, modern, spotless loos and showers. Pitches are spacious and level, with friendly, helpful hosts. Easy M5 access for stopovers. Some traffic noise mentioned, but generally bearable and doesn't spoil the peace.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Welcomed at the gate by Zac & Julie who were both extremely polite and pleasant people. (They also checked everything was ok when they saw you around the site at different times.) Escorted to the pitch by Zac who also gave site instructions clearly. Toilets were immaculate at all times. We only stayed one night on route to another destination but will definitely return!

Disliked Not a dislike just an observation - the entrance would benefit from larger signs from the roadside as it stands back and is easily missed. There are signs but they are quite small .

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Super clean toilets, easily accessible. Friendly staff, nice flat pitches with easy access to water and electricity.

The wide open spaces led to a cool breeze, helping to cool down on the hot summer days.

So close to Gloucester and the M5, would definitely stay again!

Disliked Nothing. All good.

Local attractions

Keen to experience a bit more of that farming life? Take the kids to Cattle Country Farm Park (15 minutes’ drive) for hands-on activities with the lambs, goats, pigs and rabbits plus all sorts of other fun things including miniature golf, a splash pool, a maize maze and a couple of play barns. Meanwhile, if you prefer open spaces and wildlife, head to WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre (15 minutes) to see what kind of birds you can spot. Around these parts are also several smart rural estates – if you’ve got an eye for a fancy historic house, aim for 12th-century Berkeley Castle or the 19th-century Gothic splendour of Woodchester Mansion (both 20 minutes). Green-fingered guests may instead prefer a wander along the paths of Painswick Rococo Garden (20 minutes). Gloucester (15 minutes) and Cheltenham (20 minutes) are both worth a visit while you’re in the area – and in between the two is the Jet Age Museum (20 minutes), with a fab collection of vintage planes and other aviation memorabilia.
