 Our second visit to this site, back for the Cheltenham Jazz Festival again this year. Great site, very helpful and friendly owners, well maintained and quiet with easy public transport links into town and to Gloucester, bus stop right outside the gate. All tidy hard standing pitches with hook up so ideal for all year use, small camping area too and the Motel if non caravanning friends want to visit. Large supermarket and shopping area twenty minute walk or five minutes in the car, local convenience store just round the corner (10 minutes walk). Very easy to get to the site either from the M5 or A46/A435 (Hyde Lane/Princess Elizabeth Way), no towing drama! We will be back next year if not sooner!

Stopped here with a folding camper for 5 nights to visit the Cotswolds and the surrounding area. Although not a usual destination for a short break, we found that there was plenty to do in the area. We visited Cheltenham, Gloucester, toured the Cotswold villages and went a walk around one of the most haunted villages in England.
The campsite itself is very well placed - close to Asda, Home Bargains, B&Q, Harvester and KFC, as well as bus stops and Park & Ride. Yes, the site is next to the A40, and there is some road noise, but we did not find it disturbed us. The helicopters and aeroplanes also created a bit of noise during the day, but nothing disturbing.
The site itself is very peaceful from about 9pm to9am - lovely ! Mainly filled with older couples in motorhomes, this suited us. There was no entertainment for kids, no park or anything, but the ones there made their own entertainment. There are now 5 showers available, as there has been an extension built. Whenever I went for a shower there was nobody else in there. Everything was clean and the owners were very friendly.
My only criticism is the rigidity of the pitches, it does look a bit like a car park (or caravan and motorhome park). But the pitches were well spaced, so not an issue of being too close, just repetitive. The ground was very sandy under the gravel, so our pegs didn't stay in so well, luckily it wasn't windy. We also found the gravel area for the awning was lower than the concrete for our camper, which didn't help with the pegs. I guess we could have moved pitches but didn't seem a big enough deal for the upheaval.
There were also some great RV's on this site - great to look at and dream of owning, but I wouldn't like to have been pitched next to one!

We stayed the week for the Cheltenham festival. Good maintained site with heated and clean shower facilities. A s small site in comparison with some but we found it friendly.
Ideally located for Cheltenham town, a short bus ride away from the quaint shops and not too far away from the Races. Would recommend this site and we are going back next year for the festival.

Generally this is a very good site. It is well located on the outskirts of Cheltenham making it ideal to explore that town and also Gloucester. I believe that the bus connections to both are excellent although I drove to both. It is easily accessible from the M5 and also has good local amenities having takeaways, restaurants and shops within close walking distance.
The site itself is well looked after with friendly and helpful wardens. Most of the caravan pitches consist of a hard concrete base with an adjoining gravelled area for an awning. The toilet and shower building was clean and tidy and whilst we were there they were actually building an extension to it which could improve availability which might be a problem in peak periods.
So a very good site to either serve as a base for exploring the area or as a stop-off on the way elsewhere. There's only one problem. Because of the location there is quite a lot of traffic noise and I don't know if it was my imagination but the incidence of emergency services sirens seemed very prevalent in Cheltenham. The noise might reduce in summer when the leaves provide some sound deadening but if you want peace and quiet, this is probably not a site for you.

A pleasant site centrally located, with very helpful owners. Extra showers were being installed ( Jan 2014). Each pitch has hard standing and electricity for caravans/ motor homes. Easy disposal of grey water and plenty of water points. Good security ( barrier with key- £10 returnable deposit). Buses outside run every 10 mins. Handy for M5. Noise from traffic and small planes but we would still return to this site.
Unable to comment on child friendliness - as we are a couple with no children but it is a site near a city.

We have visited this site on numerous occasions with our motorhome and previously in a trailer tent. The owners and staff are always friendly and helpful. The buses are brilliant every ten minutes right outside the site to Cheltenham and Gloucester. We sometimes walk into Cheltenham which takes less than half a hour. The motorhome drive over emptying point that has been recently installed is really helpful with water for washing out the tank + drinking water all in the same place. The toilet and shower block is always warm and clean. It does need more showers for busy periods but I am told that these are going to be installed shortly. One of the reasons we like this site is you don't need a car with pub restaurant KFC and supermarket all less than a 15 min walk + a barrier that makes everything secure. One of the minuses is if you have children I have not seen any play areas for them.

We have visited this campsite several times over the past two years. The owners always make us welcome and provide information when needed. The location is superb for visiting Cheltenham and the races, but the real gem is the superb indian restaurant just a short walk down the road. The facilities are very clean, and prices very fair compared to other sites we use during the year. Every time we return you can see the owners are trying to work to improve the surroundings and the majority of people I have spoken to seem very impressed with their efforts.

Handy site for stopover, good hardstandings, terrible road noise as so close to motorway, chemical toilet disposal in poor state, toilets and shower rooms look good from outside but disappointing inside only 2 showers. Went to use the ladies at 9. 20am and they were closed for cleaning ! had to use the one and only disabled toilet/shower room, decided not to shower as I didn't want to take up to much time in there in case other people needed the loo, if site was full then closing facilities this early is not good as that's when they are at there busiest. Wouldn't use again

Located this site through UKCampsite.co.uk and thought we'd give it a try on our first visit to Gloucester. Our main reason for choosing Briarfields was the easy access to both Cheltenham and Gloucester by bus. The bus stop is literally outside the gate and buses run every 10 minutes or every 15 on a Sunday.
When we arrived after a not very good drive from the Shepton Mallet show, we received a really warm welcome. Scott gave us a lot of information regarding the local area, nothing was to much trouble. We were given a nice pitch just inside the site and were easily able to pick up wifi.
The site is very well laid out, with plenty of room. The toilets and showers are very clean, there is a laundry room and dish washing area.
The traffic noise is not intrusive when in the van, but may be a bit noisy if you're not used to busy roads. Plenty of local shops, Asda quite near.
We are looking forward to visiting Cheltenham tomorrow for a bit of retail therapy.
All in all a nice site in a good location. Will definitely return and recommend to friends. 9/10.

Good hard pitches with a very welcoming host on arrival. In the van the road noise was minimal.
I note they have/getting permission for new Loos etc. Definitely needed as only 2 showers in mens and Ladies. Open sinks facing toilets rather than cubicles is out of date - we like privacy. Hope this is in the new plans.
One of the most convenient sites I have used for access to town, supermarkets, but with a pleasant environment.
We will definitely use it again although will avoid 'busy times' in the summer because of showers etc.

Just left Briarfields after a three night stay.
On arrival they couldn’t have been more helpful, directing us to our large level pitch.
We only use sites with easy access to places of interest either by public transport or on foot and here the bus stops to either Gloucester or Cheltenham couldn’t have been nearer.
Wi-fi on site is patchy and sometimes the signal disappeared completely (briefly).
Road noise is significant but to be honest the dawn chorus (4. 30am!) was much louder.
Their toilet block was always clean (and empty!) when I showered around 10am, and the lack of private washbasins for me wasn’t really a problem.
On our last night at around 11. 30pm I had gone to clean my teeth in the toilet block when I bumped into someone mopping the floor! Impressed!
It was he who told me that they have planning permission and intend to build more showers for both men and women in the near future.
I’ll be back.

Just spent the last weekend at Briarfields Touring Park in our touring caravan to attend the Cheltenham Jazz Festival. Excellent site. Great location for Cheltenham and Gloucester and surrounding area, very good public transport links. Very neat and tidy layout, all hard standings so ideal for wet weather. Nice clean and warm washrooms with plenty of hot water. Good value at £17 per night. Easy to get to, just off junction 11 on the M5. Very friendly owners, nice warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Our first visit but we will be back!

We visited the site on a Bank Holiday weekend and thought it was a well positioned campsite. You can hop on a bus to Cheltenham, Gloucester and Oxford. It's also a short drive away to pretty Cotswold villages such as Burford and Cotswold Wildlife Park.
You can walk to an Indian restaurant, Pavillion - don't be deceived by how quiet it is. The service was great and the food was really nice. We enjoyed it that much that we went twice over 3 nights. Would highly recommend. You can also walk to ASDA if you fancy a last minute BBQ. There is also the Harvester pub within 5 minutes - we went for a fry up one morning. Fine if you don't mind waiting but we wouldn't go back there given the choice.
Our friends joined us in a tent and we were pleased that they could camp close by.
The toilet block was always spotless and I liked the fact that they had sink cubicles for some privacy. I did wait for a shower on both mornings so the site would benefit from extra showers but I didn't wait long and it wouldn't put me off going again.
It's a pretty little site with a very friendly welcome and great value for money. Our pitch was visited regularly by robins - they were very tame. We will definitely be back. Lovely site - not commercialised and very easy to find from the motorway. Yes there is a little bit of road noise but it certainly didn't bother us.

Great site on the outskirts of Cheltenham, pub and indian restaurant in walking distance, local public transport outside of camp entrance given access to all local area including Gloucester. The site suffers from road noise given its location to A40 and needs to consider a 2nd shower block as only 2 showers in each wash room leads to queues in the mornings. The owners could not be more helpful and were very helpful having a good knowledge of the local area and whats going on. There are no facilities for children other than the tenting field which could be interesting during the peak months.
There is a caravan sales/spares dealership just 1. 5 miles from the site should they be needed.

Been using this site for a few years now even before the owners who have got it now. Has always been very clean and tidy and very friendly. Clean shower block and toilets plus the disabled toilet
Is always spotless. There's no shop on site but have two supermarkets with in 5-10 minuets away by car and a paper shop only a few minutes walk away. The owners are very friendly and help you with anything you want to know. The bus stop is right out side the site that goes into the centre of Cheltenham town.
Only 10 minutes from the motorway and very handy stop if you are going on down to Devon, Cornwall and Poole in Dorset like we do as it's a half way down for us as we come from Yorkshire.
All the hard standings are level and a really nice place for the tent at the centre of the site. And it's dog friendly.
