  • 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 campsite is safe, clean, and well-kept, with hotel-standard loos and showers. Staff are brilliant and helpful, with most loving its M5 location. Pitches are good and spacious, with minor traffic noise. Great for stopovers or longer stays.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Very friendly owners. Close to M5, perfect for a one night stop to break up a long journey to Cornwall.

Clean, modern toilets and shower block.

The place have a very chilled and layed back vibe. Basically just a couple of fields with other campers and a few farm animals knocking about.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Loved the open space of the main field. Great combo of a rural farm based site, but with high standard, contemporary toilet facilities.
We used as a layover on the way to Devon, but, the location was great overall so we may come and stay longer in future.

Disliked No dislikes, overall was great value for money.
Main field very open, and had we have been staying longer could imagine longing for some shade in a hot spell.

Liked Ideal for us as a stopover, I can see how useful it is for trips into the city too. Sam checked us in, she was well organised and had everything arranged, even when it got busy she knew what to do and where to send everyone.

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.
