The Thames Head Inn

Flat pitch well laid out. Toilet/shower very clean.
Food in pub 10 out of 10

Some my not like the occasional train or road noise on some pitches.
The waste services could be difficult for some.

Lovely olde worlde pub with a big roaring fire. Good food & friendly staff, reasonable prices.
Plenty of room on the pitches for our 7.4 metre long motorhome. Great for touring if you have separate transport or for an overnight stop.

Needs a little more work on the waste water side of things. Also only one toilet/shower so if someone was taking a shower you couldn’t use the toilet.

Lovely pub great food and drink. Large hardstanding pitch

Small friendly site. Made to feel very welcome. Great location.

What great little site right behind the pub. Good location for walking and only 15 min walk to Kemble train station if you want to visit Cheltenham. Had dinner in the pub which was welcoming, good service and excellent food. Well worth a visit.

Views across the fields, quiet apart from the train but that was ok. Near the pub so easy for a drink and eats.

Bit dark on the driveway but remember to take a torch next time.

Lovely Pub site

Easy to find (The Thames Head is on the main A433 Tetbury to Cirencester road), decent facilities which were perfectly clean & functional, a sheltered place to pitch my tent, a suitable place to chain my bike up and (obviously, given that the campsite is in the grounds of a pub) somewhere on the doorstep to have a drink and-if you got there early enough-some seriously good food as well-judging by what was on the menu board in the pub. All the staff I spoke to were friendly, welcoming and informative so no complaints there at all. Several of the guests had Dogs with them so the place is obviously very Dog-friendly with an extra mention going to Ivy the Weimaraner who was lovely!

As Campsites go, this one is rather pricey. Yes, all the things I listed above are correct, but given that the only camping facilities that are available to use are a shower, a toilet (only one of each on the entire site so you can imagine the queues in high season when it gets busy) and a drinking water tap, I regard twenty pounds a night to be somewhat expensive. I had similar facilities at a campsite in Bristol the previous night and was charged only £10 and again at a campsite I visited in the south of Aberdeenshire on October 26th where I was only charged £8. With the nearby Tunnel House Inn at Coates no longer offering camping, it would appear that The Thames Head have no local competition for business-and their pricing policy seems to make the camper only too aware of this fact..

Lovely pub with good food and friendly and helpful owner Klaus.

Pleasant site with spacious pitches. We arrived after dark in pouring rain but received a warm and helpful welcome. Pub is cosy and dog friendly which we appreciated on such a damp evening.

There is only one cubicle with loo and shower. It is warm and spacious with plenty of hot water. The site was quiet for our visit but when busy, there might be quite a queue!
