  • 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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked: The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the start.
The site is conveniently located just off a main road, yet the pitches are set far enough back to ensure peace and quiet, with no noticeable road noise.
Each pitch is spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out.

Disliked: The toilet and shower facilities are somewhat dated and limited in number. During our stay, the site was fairly quiet, so this wasn’t a concern, but it could become an issue during busier periods.
While the site is dog-friendly, there aren’t any designated walking areas or dog waste bins available, which may be inconvenient for pet owners.
There was no Wi-Fi available when we stayed.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site was quiet when we arrived so we had a choice of pitches, although the electric didn’t work to start with the site handyman managed to get it all sorted….the toilets and shower blocks were warm, clean and the showers worked fab too.
Pleasant staff on check in.
Although there is a mobile home site and some other converted barn properties as you come onto the site it doesn’t affect you
We didn’t have children with us but I would say they would enjoy it there are chickens running around and we did find an egg.
We never used WiFi not sure if there is any as the normal signal on our phones was good

Disliked: Nothing

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked: Large pitch bordered by hedges and small trees with electric hook-up and the bantam cock with hens in tow.

Disliked: Facilities block seemed a work in progress and was not heated though it could have been.

Grey water and chemical waste went into the same disposal container which is not hygienic.

Local attractions

While you’re so close to Gloucester, a day of sightseeing may be one of the first things up on your itinerary. There’s Gloucester Cathedral (15 minutes' drive) and the Gloucester Docks (15 minutes) for a good dose of history and Gloucester Rugby Club in Kingsholm (10 minutes) for sporting events. Or you may wish to dine by the docks – perhaps starting with brunch after finishing with sunrise yoga on a paddleboard. Tewkesbury (15 minutes) is a historic riverside destination with medieval streets and river boat trips for more peaceful days out. Or you may prefer to board the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (half an hour) and extend your expedition with a steam train journey. Otherwise, stick around Cheltenham (20 minutes) to catch the racecourse, fine art museum and Victorian Everyman Theatre. Stow-on-the-Wold (45 minutes) and Bourton-on-the-Water (40 minutes) are other destinations to add to your Cotswolds-based relaxation itinerary.
