  • Small family-run site on an organic cattle farm
  • Adjacent to the River Severn and close to the Severn Way
  • Community-owned village pub within walking distance
Set in a perry pear orchard on an organic cattle farm: that sounds almost poetic. As are the views from the spectacularly scenic little place of West End Farm Campsite, set in the horseshoe bend of the River Severn on the edge of the peaceful Gloucestershire village of Arlingham, and adjacent to the river with easy access to the footpaths of the Severn Way. A rather smashing pub is within easy walking distance too: the Red Lion freehouse (owned by the village, hurrah) with tiptop locally sourced food, real ale and regular events like quiz nights and folk nights – all just the ticket after a peaceful pedal or serene stroll along the river paths or region's quiet flat roads…? West End Farm has a toilet block and chemical disposal. Both barbecues and campfires are allowed on site.

Peaceful rural site, spacious pitches (often hedged). Lovely Severn walks & village pub nearby. Facilities clean & adequate, though some want upgrades. Relaxed, natural vibe, good value. Farm noise/flies occasionally noted.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked This site is wonderful. We have stayed here twice before. The pitches are clean and level. The toilets and showers are clean and well kept. the site is quiet and all the other campers were very friendly. There is an excellent cafe run by the same farmer just around the corner. There are some beautiful walks to the river Severn, suitable for any ages which you can do directly from the site itself. There is a pub 10 minutes walk away which serves excellent food and beer.

Disliked Shower block not cleaned often enough
Although and attractuve colour, perhaps the wrong choice of gravel (cotswold?) Was chosen for pitches as it contained lots of fines which dusted and stuck to shoes. A harder, more angular gravel would be better although I am nit picking

Liked Great low-key site. Basic but clean facilities. Liked the layout with the little hedges between the tent pitches. Overall a great site for a short trip with our young daughter and dog. Lovely walks from the site too.

Disliked The smell at times from the dairy farm was quite strong.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Nice location and good walks. Quiet and nice to hear nature sounds. Village pub not far away.

Disliked Noisy kids who ran and cycled through pitches. Only 1 unisex toilet and only 1 male and 1 female shower. Reasonably kept pitches and water not to far away.

Local attractions

West End Farm Campsite's local village is Arlingham, also in the River Severn's horseshoe bend and just off Junction 13 of the M5. The area around the village is fab walking and cycling land, of public footpaths, riverside ambles and flat peaceful roads – all set among the first-class scenery of the England/Wales border area. (Don't know where to start? Ask at the Red Lion for details of their hare, salmon, cattle and skylark wanders.) A couple of miles from the farm is the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, running between Sharpness and the old docks of Gloucester. It's a pleasant place to while away a few meandering hours, particularly around Patch Bridge, close to the Wildfowl Reserve at Slimbridge which has the world's biggest collection of captive wildfowl. Other local options are Berkeley and the Edward Jenner Museum, where the clever chap first figured out vaccination, and Berkeley Castle, where poor old Edward 2 met his grisly end. Gloucester Cathedral is nine miles from the site; a little further afield are the Norman castle of Goodrich and the Tudor National Trust-managed house of Newark Park.
