  • Adults-only park a couple of minutes' drive from the M5
  • Use as an overnight stopover or as a base for Cheltenham or Gloucester
  • Landscaped with mature shrubs, hedges and trees
Apart from a possible pitch on a tower block in the middle of a city, Briarfields Touring Park might be the most ‘leave your car at home’ site we’ve seen yet. Ditch the diesel guzzler or leave the motorhome on site and hitch a ride on one of the regular buses that pass right outside, leading to days’ worth of days out at Cheltenham (two miles away), Gloucester (six miles), Oxford, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds. And if you’re getting around under your own steam, the friendly family team at Briarfields can pick you up from local public transport when you arrive. Even on your own feet you’ll reach most of what you need quickly from the park: a pub and a newsagent are within a few minutes’ walk; an Indian restaurant, KFC and supermarket less than 15 minutes – and a caravan sales and spares dealership is a mile and a half away, just in case. Although Briarfields is only a couple of minutes from the M5 (it’s often used by guests on their way north or south as an overnight stopover), it’s been rather cleverly designed so you can think you’re slap bang in the middle of the countryside: the landscaped and the accommodation areas are edged throughout with mature shrubs, hedges and trees. Amenities are equally well looked after: the centrally placed amenities block is cleaned twice a day and has free hot showers for ladies, gents and disabled guests. Swing into reception when you arrive at Briarfields for reams of info, leaflets and maps on the many (many) things to do a bus ride away: buses run every ten minutes during the day and every 20 minutes in the evening to both Cheltenham and Gloucester, and another service to Oxford will give explorers about six hours in the city before heading back to Cheltenham. Briarfields is open all year round and is dog-friendly.

What customers say

This adults-only site is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located near the M5, Cheltenham, and Gloucester, with frequent bus services right outside. Visitors praise the immaculate, modern toilet and shower facilities, spacious and level pitches often with privacy hedges, and the friendly, helpful staff. While some note occasional traffic or aircraft noise due to the location, most found it unobtrusive. Free WiFi is available and generally works well. It's highly recommended for stopovers or exploring the area.

Rachel S.

The Beeches fully-serviced grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked This camp is probably one of the most organised camps we have stopped at, the check in at reception was quick and straight forward, the amenities were clean and tidy, pitches were nice and big and plenty of room between them, WiFi free and good, camp easy to find just off the M5, short bus journey to Cheltenham and Gloucester right outside the camp entrance,

Disliked It didn't bother us but just bare in mind there are quite a few airplanes flying over quite late and early in the morning.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Close to showers and toilets

Disliked We left one day early as the road noise is so bad (lost £40) the hard standing so called level pitch was very uneven all loose and dirty wrappers and rubbish all over, I watched as people left and then arrived BUT no cleaning of pitches,

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Michael,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations. Our team does check all pitches daily, and had you popped into reception during your stay, we would have been more than happy to offer you an alternative pitch.

With regard to our location, it is clearly shown on the map, and many of our guests choose Briarfields for its excellent accessibility, including the dedicated cycle path to both Cheltenham and Gloucester and the 24-hour bus service just outside the gate.

We understand that we can’t please everyone all the time, but we’re very proud of the hard work our team puts in and are grateful that the vast majority of our guests are very happy with their experience, as reflected in our many positive reviews.

We do wish you happy travels and adventures wherever your journeys may take you next.

Best Wishes,
The Briarfields Team

Jasmine S.

Camping pod (double)

Liked LOVE this site - will definitely be back!
We stayed just for the weekend as we attended an event nearby & we were blown away by how lovely this site is. Super friendly staff at check in, clear instructions. The camping pod was pristine, all the basic amenities you need & plenty of space from the other pods. Toilets & showers were spotless & loved the extra facilities you could use like laundry! Campsite is also close by to plenty of shops, restaurants etc & plenty to choose from on just eat.
Totally exceeded all expectations! We’re looking to book a week for next year already ☺️

Local attractions

Well. Where do we start? At least a day in Cheltenham first, we think – more if you’re coming to have a flutter at the racecourse just four miles away or jazzing it up at one of the many festivals. Catch the bus early to take in as much as poss: a morning coveting the art, furniture, crafts and jewellery at Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum, many created by Cotswold craftspeople inspired by William Morris, should build up an appetite for lunch and an afternoon of shopping around The Brewery, Bath Road and in the well-lined High Street. Harry Potter fans and the history-inclined will likely want an hour or two at medieval Gloucester Cathedral, used in the first and second films (see if you recognise the Cloisters). Away from Hogwarts, the cathedral has an award-winning exhibition centre, exhibitions and guided tours, and regular events and concerts including The Three Choirs Festival, one of the oldest classical choral music festivals in the world. The Gloucester Docks and award-winning Waterways Museum is also a good afternoon out for heritage fans, while the more modern can find plenty to occupy them at the waterside retail park Gloucester Quays. Plunge into the countryside next for a couple of days in the Cotswolds, where you’ll find acres of things to do whatever your inclination such as punting around local villages like Chipping Camden and Bourton-on-the-Water, or visiting the many museums ranging from Roman to motoring times. Wildlife options abound too, particularly for birders, with the Cotswold Falconry Centre at the Batsford Arboretum, geese and swans at Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and Birdland Park and Gardens in Bourton-on-the-Water where twitchers can see rare birds from around the world, including England’s only group of king penguins. Finally, take a day or two in the ancient Forest of Dean (Harry Potter and co ended up here too), one of the oldest woodlands in the country, to go underground at the old mines of the Clearwell Caves, hire a bike to hit the forest tracks, or, more relaxingly, take the four and a half mile trip from Lydney to Parkend on the Dean Forest Railway.
