Award-winning Gloucestershire farm site with Malvern Hills views
A 10-minute drive to Tewkesbury; 20 minutes to Gloucester Cathedral
Tractor tours of the animals; on-site café and occasional restaurant

Fans of animal antics, step this way… stay at award-winning Elmwicke Campsite and you'll be on a working farm surrounded by a flock of Jacob sheep, a herd of rare-breed Gloucester cattle, and the Pygmy goats Mabel and Martha, plus Bacon the pig. As you can probably tell, this spot in the Severn Vale is a proper rural retreat, with fabulous views of the Malverns and Bredon Hill to boost your Gloucestershire break. Site owners (and carers to all those animals) Jon and Ruth opened up the site in 2012; they're fourth-generation farmers and you’ll see them at some point during your stay, whether that’s welcoming you in, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good old natter. The campsite is a seven-acre flat field where you can choose your own pitch, and camp together if you’re with friends or family. There’s plenty of space for games of cricket, rugby, football, rounders or flying kites, and the owners are more than happy to take guests on a tractor-trailer ride around the fields to visit the animals. Alongside men’s and women’s loos, the amenities block also has showers and a family room with baby-changing facilities. To help you with keeping everybody clean and tidy, there’s also a laundry area with a washing machine. An on-site café is open for breakfast rolls, pastries and fresh coffee to get you going in the morning, and on some nights you can eat at the pop-up restaurant that's run by a fab local caterer. If you’d rather be self-sufficient, barbecues are allowed on site, and you can order meat packs from the farm, as well as hiring firepits and buying bags of wood, which are delivered daily.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: What a lovely friendly campsite!
The owner is very helpful with suggestions on places to visit and places to eat out at.
They really have thought about what you would look for while staying there. The facilities are brilliant and cleaned twice a day. They’ve even thought about the little things as well like nice hand soap and air freshener can in each toilet 😊 🤣
The family shower room huge and our children loved it. Also in there is a proper baby changing table.
I really wish we lived closer but wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when in the area. It’s
Also the breakfast baps are big and lovely with nice coffee. (Normal annd decaf available) All very reasonable prices as well. All made to order (place orders the night before)
This is a campsite that cares about the customers experience.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great flat and airy field
Plenty of space to choose from
Amazing facilities; the loos and showers were the best we’ve ever come across.
Really liked that everything was provided: hand soap, loo roll, towel hooks, automatic light, hairdryer was free.
All too often you have to pay for the shower or hairdryer, or there’s no soap or basics in situ, so it was really welcome to see everything was available with no further effort or outlay.
Obviously a covert well thought out and attended to site.

They can follow treasure trails at Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean (both 50 minutes), where you can also hike forest paths or up the activity levels and get some cycling in. Keen for more exercise? Have a go at skiing or tubing at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, or head for Sandford Parks Lido in Cheltenham (both 25 minutes), with its gorgeous Art Deco architecture and two outdoor pools to cool off in on sunny days. Mooch around indie shops in Tewkesbury (10 minutes), where you can also visit the historic abbey, grab an ice-cream or relax on a boat trip along the Severn and Avon rivers. Mellow-stone Cotswolds towns to add to your itinerary include Broadway (half an hour) for its delightful architecture and design museums, and Stow-on-the-Wold (40 minutes) for its cracking selection of antique shops.
