  • Small family-run site on an organic cattle farm
  • Adjacent to the River Severn and close to the Severn Way
  • Community-owned village pub within walking distance
Set in a perry pear orchard on an organic cattle farm: that sounds almost poetic. As are the views from the spectacularly scenic little place of West End Farm Campsite, set in the horseshoe bend of the River Severn on the edge of the peaceful Gloucestershire village of Arlingham, and adjacent to the river with easy access to the footpaths of the Severn Way. A rather smashing pub is within easy walking distance too: the Red Lion freehouse (owned by the village, hurrah) with tiptop locally sourced food, real ale and regular events like quiz nights and folk nights – all just the ticket after a peaceful pedal or serene stroll along the river paths or region's quiet flat roads…? West End Farm has a toilet block and chemical disposal. Both barbecues and campfires are allowed on site.

What customers say

Peaceful rural spot with tidy, private sites near Severn River walks & a great pub. Clean facilities, though some say they need a spruce-up. Relaxed vibe, good value, but watch out for farm noise & flies in busy times.

Paul S.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked Tranquil small site different areas for the hard standing to the grass and tent area. Good shower and loo facilities at one end. Water, disposal area for chemicals and assorted bins near our hardstanding. This was a trial run in our small caravan and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. A short walk to the Severn and local pub, coffee shop. Delightful views and Slimbridge wetlands a short drive, well worth a visit.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Good location just outside the village, we visited The Red Lion pub twice, which was exceptional in terms of food and service. There are lots of really lovely walks all around the river and into the village. Look on The Red Lion’s website, where you can print off the walks before you arrive.

Disliked Nothing really. As others have said the toilets and showers could be cleaner, I never saw anyone clean the toilets over a 3 day period.
Not a dislike, but I don’t believe there is a shop in the village, so make sure you go with supplies or be prepared to drive out for shopping.

Andrea L.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked In a lovely place, short walk to a good pub! I loved it was on a working farm.

Disliked I would not stay here again. Lack of response to check in, no campsite information given, couldn’t find the facilities at first as the promised message did not arrive, when we did find them there were not many of them (one toilet, one female and one male shower). Hate not having assigned pitch, we were too afraid to leave the site incase we lost the last hard standing with electric pitch we had paid for. Quiet hours until 11:30am tractors going past many hours earlier, while that didn’t bother me, it was very hypocritical!!

Local attractions

West End Farm Campsite's local village is Arlingham, also in the River Severn's horseshoe bend and just off Junction 13 of the M5. The area around the village is fab walking and cycling land, of public footpaths, riverside ambles and flat peaceful roads – all set among the first-class scenery of the England/Wales border area. (Don't know where to start? Ask at the Red Lion for details of their hare, salmon, cattle and skylark wanders.) A couple of miles from the farm is the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, running between Sharpness and the old docks of Gloucester. It's a pleasant place to while away a few meandering hours, particularly around Patch Bridge, close to the Wildfowl Reserve at Slimbridge which has the world's biggest collection of captive wildfowl. Other local options are Berkeley and the Edward Jenner Museum, where the clever chap first figured out vaccination, and Berkeley Castle, where poor old Edward 2 met his grisly end. Gloucester Cathedral is nine miles from the site; a little further afield are the Norman castle of Goodrich and the Tudor National Trust-managed house of Newark Park.
