  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • A 10-minute drive from the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape
  • Pub site with beer garden; many country walks nearby
Hurrah, a pub site, and what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local food and traditional ales and ciders at reasonable prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy five-minute drive from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within 10 minutes' drive and the Forest of Dean 50 minutes away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and a shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

A neat, friendly campsite with large, private spots. Guests love the awesome private bathrooms. The George Inn next door is a bonus, with great food and a good vibe. Easy M5 access makes it perfect for stopovers, with nice riverside and woodland walks nearby.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Warm welcome, lovely location

Disliked Gardener decided to cut grass around pitches at 8:30am. No respect of privacy around our pitch.
Very poor 4/5g signal in area

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

Regarding the gardeners, when they are due on site they have to try and do as much as possible as the site is so busy all the time so unfortunately this may happen but this does not happen often.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked Bathrooms were excellent, had shower, toilet and wash basin all in the same bathroom cubicle. The George Inn pub/restaurant was excellent, had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere and food was good.

Disliked Was not a dislike but pitch number 1 was right next to the play area (which was great for the kids) but somewhat noisy. Also to access the bathroom area you had to walk a short distance along the riverbank which I did not feel safe to do if I needed the toilet in the middle of the night.

From the manager: Thank you for your review,

Just want to clarify that there are 2 extra toilets in the middle of the site which are handy for the night time and the path to the shower block has many lights so it’s not pitch black.

Lovely clean shower block and toilets.…

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 40 minutes' drive away, too.) WWT Slimbridge (10 minutes) gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn (five minutes), said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the river Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, (40 minutes), and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo Garden (half an hour); be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season. Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum (25 minutes); Woodchester Mansion Trust (20 minutes), an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland, and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (10 minutes), thought to be the place where poor old Edward II saw his last day.
