  • 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.

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.

Mark S.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked Been here before, it a noticeably quiet and peaceful site that only has room for about 20 pitches. The showers and toilets are nice and clean with loads of toilet paper, as well as a good washing up area. As it says on the web site, it is a working farm and if the cows are drinking the water pressure does drop but 30 min later its back. Hookup is only £5 a day excellent value, the owners also run a nice café just up the road from the site with a great outdoors area in the back. Great Pub (Red Lion) just up the road that serves tasty food, and 3 really loverly walks to chose from. You can have BBQ and a firepit on site as well :)
Can’t say a lot more than I would definitely book again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike on this site really

Owen N.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely flat pitches, decent sizes. Quiet for couples broadly speaking.

Disliked Was quite noisy in the mornings as it was close to a working farm so there was alot of crashing and banging to be heard (which your expect). Was quite isolated and not much around so no good if you have kids that need entertaining. Messaged the owners as per the sign on site but had no response.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Lovely quiet site away from it all.

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.
