The River Severn slides past just beyond the hedge, its long bend visible through morning mist that clings to the willows and low meadows of the Gloucestershire plain.

This is a straightforward touring site for caravanners, motorhomers and tenters who want a simple pitch in the Severn Valley without fuss or fanfare. It's open all year, which makes it useful for winter stopovers or extended tours exploring the Forest of Dean to the west or the Cotswold edge to the east. The level pitches suit all outfit types, and the site works equally well for couples touring through or families using it as a base for the cathedral cities and market towns dotted along this stretch of the river.

You'll find toilets and showers onsite — the basics covered — and the year-round opening means it's a reliable option when other places have shut for the season. Ask about campfires when you arrive. It's a quiet, uncomplicated spot where the main attraction is the valley itself and the big Gloucestershire skies.
