What customers say
Riverside spot, peaceful vibe, close to the inn. But loos and showers are a bit rough – dirty, mouldy, broken. Some guests were okay, others not so much.

Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Our pitch next to the adjacent farmer’s pond. Great variety of birdlife and lovely walks along the riverside.
Toilet paper was outstanding!
Water nice and hot.
Disliked Noise from the pub.
Facilities were awful. Unclean and generally uninviting.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Absolutely fantastic location. The river Severn is a 2 minute walk and the pub is even less. I'd recommend this site to anyone. But the facilities do need a bit of an upgrade. All that said if you dont mind basics, then it'll tick all your boxes.
The manager, Mark was really helpful, we had a puncture on day of departure and he let me use his tools to change the wheel. Great service. 👍
Disliked Just the facilities upgrade needed.

Great campsite in a nice location
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Really great campsite, lovely owner and facilities were far better than I expected considering the reviews. The toilets and showers were clean, and well stocked of soap, toilet roll etc. The campsite itself was nice, in a decent location for the river and pub. We were welcomed as a group of 8 students and had a great time at this campsite.
Disliked Walking routes are a bit limited, you can walk into Tewkesbury through fields and by the river but other than that there isn't much. Showers also were a bit temperamental temperature wise but nothing that's not expected from a campsite. There was WiFi, it was a bit weak where we were staying but fairly decent across the site, especially near the entrance and electric pitches.

Liked Great location.
Quiet campsite.
Location to the pub - we were attending a wedding there.
Tewkesbury is not far away, lovely place to wander around with great pubs.
Disliked Showers/toilets need some updating.
Steps up to the shower block are uneven and dangerous.
Lighting around the site would be good.
