  • Small family-friendly tree-filled site four miles north of Gloucester
  • A 15-minute drive from the Cotswolds and Tewkesbury
  • Bus stop outside to visit Gloucester or Cheltenham and pubs nearby
Settle in at this small but mighty fine place just north of Gloucester and prep for a nice mix of sightseeing and adventures in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 15 minutes’ drive to the east. There’s a story behind how Gloucester Camping at Court Farm came to be. After staying at a small campsite in what they describe as an empty, unwelcome field for a week in 2010, the now-owners decided to inject some life into space. They stayed a bit longer than anticipated and used the blank canvas to plant a few hundred 12-inch trees. Now, years later, the location reflects a site that their mums and dads would have liked to stay on when they were kids: a small, homely site with spacious pitches and heaps of greenery to rest and relax in full. The trees are still being nurtured by the same owners, and the profits go back to the property owners as agreed 10 years ago. Facilities now include showers and toilets. The location’s pretty excellent too, four miles north of the centre of Gloucester, with pubs, shops and restaurants about five minutes’ drive away. The 71 bus service from right outside the site’s gate goes to both Gloucester and Cheltenham (a further nine miles out). If you’re on a journey from the north to the west country, the A38 is just five miles south and the M5 is three miles away too (10 minutes’ drive). So, if you wish to break a longer journey up with a pitstop in Gloucester, this is the place to do so. A full holiday can easily be had here though, what with days out at the Stonelea Riding Centre (20 minutes’ drive) and Rodway Hill Golf Club (20 minutes) so close by.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly welcome. Handy for bus into Gloucester. Nice to be able to choose our pitch, although our options were restricted by low trees.

Disliked The site looks very promising, but it's let down by a few things. The facilities could do with an upgrade. There were dodgy locks on doors, and there was no toilet paper. No cleaning appeared to be done while we were there (2days)...the toilets were in the same mess. Only 1 shower had a seat.
The pebbles throughout were noisy and difficult to walk, bike or push a pushchair on.
Static caravan residents use the camping area as a dogwalking area.
Vacating by 10am is a little mean.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We had a great weekend.
The campsite was beautiful and well thought out. The staff were amazing and so helpful. The toilets and showers were very clean and tidy. The campsite was very peaceful. We loved watching the bats at night. There was plenty of room for the children to play without getting to near other campers.
We will definitely be returning.

Liked Location was very easy to find, especially as we were on our bikes cycling from Gloucester.

Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and helpful when I arrived!

The facilities of toilet, washrooms and showers very close by. The readily available got water was very welcomed after a long day cycling!

Disliked The general waste and recycling options was a bit confusing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Well kept pitches, friendly reception

Disliked The toilet facilities are not up to scratch. There is only one toilet cubicle and no private sinks for wet shavers - you have to stand in the open, right next to the urinal.

Local attractions
