 My wife and I went for a sunny weekend stay and chose this site as it came recommended and was not to far to travel. We had a generous pitch close to the shower block. As other reviewers have posted, we felt three showers is not enough as there were queues. Its a lovely site. My only little moans are, the lighting was very poor and not to be able to buy a pint or loaf was not to be expected from a site with a four star rating

We've been wanting to try this site out for a while, ever since the YHA closed.
The welcome was friendly but we felt it lacked atmosphere somehow. Although the shower block is fairly new, it felt a bit run down. Cobwebs in the loo areas, staining on the floor from the drain covers in the showers and mouldy silicone already. A powerful lemon-scented air freshener does not make an area cleaner!
And the recycling and waste bins were all overflowing after an obviously busy weekend.
One fellow camper complained that there was a lack of lighting to walk over to the shower block in the evenings. Given that her powerful torchlight could have guided the incoming geese back to Slimbridge, I thought that was a bit severe. It's more likely a planning condition, not to have too much invasive lighting in the remote countryside.
The Tudor Arms is a fine pub and we had a tasty Sunday lunch there. We also enjoyed the local ice creams and homemade cakes from the canal-side shop.
The surrounding area is gorgeous and great for cycling; quiet country lanes through pretty villages.
All in all, a great few days, but just a bit let down by the site itself.

Have just spent a week here, on the whole a very pleasant site, we had a pitch next to the shower and toilet block and were impressed with the size of the pitch. One thing that I was not impressed with was the row of bins right by where you wait near the reception, it is quite unsightly and I felt that they could have been put in a more obscured area.
The pub is very nice and we popped in a few evenings, the Canal is very pretty with lovely walks, the shop sells the essentials and seemed adequate, we did not use the cafe, we did enquire about the cycle hire, but were informed that they do not do trailers for the bikes so do not cater for small children which we thought a shame!
All in all a nice site, I agree with the other review re: the showers/toilet block could do with extra cleaning during their busy times, also I found it inconvenient that they closed the toilets/showers at 10. 30am in the mornings! This usually lasted for approx an hour, and I felt that this was a busy time with people having had a leisurely breakfast and then wanting a shower before going out for the day ( well this is what we do anyway )
As I said before this site is in a lovely area, very close to the Cotswolds hills, but not as near as we would have wished to the upper Cotswolds ie. Stow on the Wold etc. We will not be returning again merely because we would prefer a site further up in the Cotswolds as we had before.

Good first impression. Even though office was unattended, provision had been made for new arrivals. Pitch easy to find.
The shower and loo block is new and well maintained, although I would recommend that it is cleaned more than once a day when the site is busy (we were there at bank holiday weekend).
We found plenty to do in the surrounding area and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere on the site.
Shops nearby and didn't need to use the car every day. The walking along the canal was super. Great visit to gardens at Miserden.
The only disappointment was that our pitch had a dip in the middle and when we had rain, the water pooled under the tent and turned it into a quagmire, which had a very unpleasant feel when walking on it ( Thankfully our tent remained watertight).
This also meant the underside of the tent was very dirty when we came to pack up. This problem was not limited to our pitch as our neighbours had the same problem. Would be great if this could be addressed by levelling the pitches and improving the drainage.
Would recommend this site and would visit again.

We loved this site. Although it was full, it still didn't feel crowded. We especially liked that, in the school holidays, part of the site was adult only.
Others have written about the facilities and we found them more than adequate - even in the 'old' block.
We really liked that we did not have to take out the camper van to visit places of interest.
We had a couple of visits to the Slimbridge WWT (of which we are members) and very pleasant walks along the canal.
The breakfast at the canalside cafe was pretty good too.
They even had no problem making me a bacon sarnie using my own bread!

We visited this site last year for a long weekend.
The location is spectacular, close to WWT and the walks along the canal and local villages are superb. We wondered along to a village where they were playing cricket on the village green where the pub is almost on the pitch! and the road runs alongside the cricket outfield. Someone mentioned to us that it is the biggest village Green in the UK. We also went into Gloucester and used a park and ride which was good.
There are no real facilities on site for children so you have to get out and about to keep them occupied but that wasn't difficult for us.
Toilets and showers were ok and would not put me off visiting again.
The on site pub is great and the basket meals were of great value and we really enjoyed the atmosphere inside.
Overall clean site in a great location and we would visit again.

We've just enjoyed a 2nd stay at this lovely site, situated close to the Gloucester-Sharpness Canal.
Since our last visit they have a newly built reception/checking in area. Nice quick, friendly check in with clear instructions on how to pitch, etc. We were in the Old Orchard/Adults Only section on a large hardstanding pitch. Drinking water and bins (including some recycling) were just a short walk away.
The 'old' toilet/shower block is just that old, but it's clean and adequate, although we used the showers in the lovely big new block further up the site. Large shower cubicles, some privacy sinks and plenty of toilets for a large site. The old block does house a small undercover washing up area too, which consists of 3 sinks but only one sink plug so you're lucky if you're the only one washing up!
The site offers very reasonably priced Wi-Fi @ £1 per day. Newspapers can be ordered from the shop at the Black Shed (a short walk from the site) where other essentials can be purchased although choices are limited and very expensive.
The best thing about the site is the pub next door! The Tudor Arms. Our friends stayed there whilst we were on site and said the rooms were great. We all ate there both nights. Great service, good food and reasonably priced. Loads of choice of real ales and local cider/perry. Warning - Crazy Goat (a mix of cider and perry!) @ 6. 8% does strange things to you in large quantities! At least we didn't have far to stagger 'home'!
The walks along the canal from the site are lovely and flat in both directions, although the towpath was a little boggy after the wonderful wet summer we've had. The WWT is also a short walk from the site. We didn't visit this time, but our friends did and said it was excellent and well worth the £9. 30 each entry fee.
We will definitely be back here sometime in the near future.

Have just returned from a week's stay at this very popular park with is situated alongside the Sharpness to Gloucester canal.
The site was well kept and clean and the grass always being cut despite the bad weather on some days. We were situated near a modern toilet block with excellent facilities and particularly liked the two private cubicles with just a washbasin in if you didn't need to have a full shower.
My only criticism, if you can call it that, is that the showers could have been a little more powerful. The inside washing up area was brilliant and also housed a launderette. Facilities were a little more stretched on the Friday evening when suddenly the campsite filled up and the previous week's tranquillity was marred by some very noisy groups of caravanners and campers late into the night, but this can happen anywhere. Ideally, not a site for children as there is no specific play area apart from kicking a ball about on the field which may annoy some campers.
We ate at the local pub one evening which was very busy but the food was good and there is also a canalside cafe and small shop for essentials like milk and bread. Tesco's is about 3 miles away in Cam and a Sainsbury's a little further.
Canalside walks are lovely and there is another cafe at Saul Junction where you can sit and watch the canal activity go by.
We will certainly return next year.

Just returned from a wonderful 12 nights here. Ok. So the weather wasn't brilliant, but the camp site was everything I want in a site. Quiet, excellent shower/toilet block, helpful site manager, great walking around the area.
We spent most off the time alone in the corner of a vast field. It was a long trek to the loos, but worth it for the solitude. We watched the birds most days and for townies we learnt a lot about the behaviours of the different birds. The dawn chorus was LOUD, and I am deaf!
Overall I would recommend this site to adults mainly, not a lot for kids and could imagine that any ball games will be impossible in the school holidays when the field fills up. No play area at all for them either.

Good site, next to canal, nice flat pitch with access to modern shower block. Showers push button type which are a bit annoying but nevertheless clean and plenty of hot water.
If you want to warm up, then wash up the dishes - the room was always very warm and a welcome break from the windy conditions.
Great family park for a weekend getaway, easily accessible from the M5, Tesco nearby (3. 5 miles away), on site pub and others nearby, with nice walks along the canal and allows gazebos which was great as we were away with brother-in-law's family.
Negatives: no wash up drainer racks in the washing up area. Would recommend and will go again for another weekend away.

Quite a large site with nice green areas. When we arrived to check in we found they don't accept credit cards, but they do take bank cards, also no cash point near by. We were told our pitch wasn't ready as previous people were still there (we arrived at 3pm) We parked up on some land behind the reception area, which had overflowing wheelie bins, not very tidy and not the view we had hoped for.
Disappointed with the shower block and wash facilities. The wash basin had old toothpaste stuck to it and the shower was dirty, We decided to use our own van shower!
The local shop (shed) was overpriced asking £9. 00 for a bottle of wine, make sure you bring your own supplies.
Lovely walks by the canal, great for dog walking and 10 min walk to Slimbridge Wildfowl trust.
Wouldn't come back here

First trip in our motorhome. As it was Jubilee weekend vacant sites were hard to come by and we had no luck finding a site in our first choice location of the peak district. Really just came upon this site by chance never having been to this area before. We were lucky to get a cancellation - booked on the morning of our trip.
A really lovely site, we stayed for 3 nights in the adults only area, nice and quiet but close to all the amenities. Toilets and shower blocks very clean, only negative was the shower pressure was rather poor and was more of a dribble than a shower. Some of the toilet doors didn't lock - the locks not properly lined up with the doors! But these were minor niggles really.
Washing up facilities really good, plentiful hot water, never had to queue for a sink. Didn't use laundry facilities.
Walked to the Wetlands about 800 metres from the site a really good day out would recommend. And had a lovely 9 mile walk along the canal.
Would definitely recommend this site and location.

Stayed in the small orchard area, nice quiet spot, except for the birds getting up at daybreak! Slightly disappointed with this site. Reception not manned at all times and we watched several people arrive to no one being around.
New toilet block disappointing on entry on the first day it did smell. The showers we not very hot and only stayed on for a short while. There was an older toilet shower block with very dated showers. The water at the handbasins didn't last long so by the time you got the water on, soap on hands the water had gone off! Both toilet blocks were closed at the same time for cleaning
The dish washing facility - again the water wasn't very hot, there were 3 sinks and only one had a plug. The freezer - was very icy don't think many people used this it looked like it needed a good clean and had lots of old food etc in it. Recycling ok but there was no bin for paper or cardboard. The bins covered a large area and were over flowing.
The Tudor Arms Pub was excellent lovely meals.
Slimbridge Boat Station was the shop and was expensive and if they weren't busy they seemed to be close early. Nice area for watching the barges go by. We took our cycles and it was excellent for cycling along the towpath.
Some good cycle routes on country roads not too busy. Nearest supermarket Tesco at Cam. This was our second week of our hols having come from Devon from a far superior site so perhaps that's why this may seem a little negative.
I think with a little more effort and TLC this could be a much better site. There is room for improvement. Would be nice to see reception selling a few bare essentials. Don't think will be returning.

We booked this due to the description of the facilities, particularly the use of a disabled shower, and also having the Tudor Arms next to the site.
On arrival we booked in at reception, who were friendly and welcoming. They advised us that due to the time of year we could pitch anywhere, however they advised that they had experienced recent high volumes of rain and certain areas were flooded therefore recommended the best pitch for our needs. All pitches were in good proximity to the toilet/shower block
The toilets were immaculate and the disabled toilet was perfect for our needs. There were also facilities for cleaning the showers after you had used them, which was very useful as a trip to the showers usually involved full wet weather gear! There were also plug points in the toilet block for you to use.
The Tudor Arms was very welcoming, warm and dog friendly and served excellent local ales and food. We did not use the shop opposite however did use the cafe for the occasional breakfast and found it to be basic but friendly and served nice food.
It had a canal next to the site which was nice to walk the dogs along, and the site also had an extra tent field for busier times of year, which we were able to use as a dog walking field on days when the weather did not allow for longer walks in the countryside. The site was also on the same stretch of road as Slimbridge Wetlands Centre, which we planned to go to but unfortunately did not get around to.
Despite the absolute rotten weather, we enjoyed our holiday and having the pub on the site contributed to keeping us warm and dry. We would highly recommend this site and would consider returning if holidaying in this area again.

Visited the site over the Easter Holiday. Arrived to a warm welcome and polite staff at reception, booking in was made easy, we were able to choose our own pitch.
The field was very large with plenty of space for our 3 tents and gazeebo. The facilities were excellent as the new shower block was clean and plenty of hot water. The site itself was quiet and peaceful (except for the crows nests above !)
The cafe at the end of the road was very expensive but was in a lovely location on the Canal.
We didn't venture to the pub but it looked very nice and busy.
Would be more than happy to return to the site and would recommend to all.
There are plenty of attractions in the local area so never a dull moment.
