Date of Visit: April 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Aupduck 4 reviews from this member

 What a great site, situated within a couple of miles from the M5 it is close to both Gloss & Cheltenham. With the Bus Stops just out side of the Site Gates, you can catch the No 94 Bus into either Gloss or Cheltenham every 10mins.

The site is very pleasant and laid out in a manner to optimise space without having a feeling of being over crowded and is complimented by being well maintained with a very clean toilet block and plenty of hot water.

It also benefits having a Harvester, KFC and ASDA within walking distance.

We were very impressed and have booked again in July.

 Well what a gem of a site, the owners were so very friendly and helpful, we just got back from camping at this lovely site, we wanted to try out our new van and have never been away in the winter before, but we will return, the toilet block was immaculate through-out plus the cleaner was very friendly as well and was a pleasure to talk to, she kept the toilet block spotless, they were kept heated and was very warm indeed, loads of shops in walking distance, plus a pub as well, the owners also made sure that we had Internet link, they were the nicest people you would find, , Gloucester and Cheltenham town centres were not far away plus I would recommend going to see Gloucesrter Cathedral, its a beautiful building with fantastic history, a must see, the TOTTERDALE, S will be back to this site

Reviewer: Shoo 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for a weekend, but wish it was for longer.

The site was lovely and clean, with lovely wash rooms and showers, and nice hot water.

Bus stops just outside the main entrance for cheltenham and gloucester.

Also just up the road is asda for all your shopping needs. There is also a kfc and b&q.

The owners were lovely people, and only to happy to give you all the information you needed to know, and made you feel very welcome.

We will be going back in the very near future. 


Date of Visit: December 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Pepe63 19 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a long weekend.

We've used this site several times over the past few years and we rate it very highly. It's easy to get to, being only a few minutes from the M5, it's well laid out and the staff/owners are always very pleasant.

The bus service that runs from just outside the gate, is excellent and means that you can leave your vehicle where it is(. A Dayrider ticket will shuttle you to/from and around Cheltenham and Gloucester 'til your heart's content).

Granted there may be a little road noise on site but certainly nothing that intrusive and to be honest, if others hadn't have already commented on it, I wouldn't have even thought of mentioning it.

Also the fact that they also have the small motel attached, means that it gives you the option to take none-caravaning/motorhoming friends along.  


Date of Visit: November 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Gillhalfpint 4 reviews from this member

 A well laid out site run by friendly owners with good clean facilities.

From booking in to booking out we had a great stay here. A keyfob is needed to raise the barrier to get in, and this requires a £10 deposit

Love the amount of information and maps of local amenities on arrival. A great help. Regualar bus service from outside the site to Cheltenham and Gloucester.

There is a bit of traffic noise from the main road, but it did not disturb us once inside the caravan.

Great location not too ar from the M5 if breaking a journey.

Date of Visit: October 2011 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Vengabus 7 reviews from this member

 Just got back from a really good weekend at briarfields, first time in our van and was impressed with the site, very clean and tidy, staff very friendly and more than helpful.

Site is spot on for trips into town or into glocs as bus stop right outside front gate. Asda, kfc, harvester b&q all just over the road. Will definitely return in the future.

Probably a bit better suited for adults as not a lot for kids but ours were happy anyway. The park and ride is over the road and a bit cheaper than the bus for town. 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Dianeiw 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed for one night on way to North Wales from south coast. Easy to find and close to all the major routes, you could hear some trafic noise but it was not a problem.

The site was very nice, clean tidy and good facilities, bus stop right outside campsite with frequent buses to Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Useful maps and info about local area provided on arrival. As only staying one night used small tent but noted that after 5 nights you would need to move to another pitch which I certainly would not want to do with my large tent.

Would definitely stay here again for a few days. 


Date of Visit: September 2011 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Chrisandmandy 3 reviews from this member

 We spent 3 weeks here whilst we were working nearby. The owners were very helpful and friendly they always had the answers to your questions.

The site was always clean and very quiet (apart from road noise but this is expected due to its location).

The owners seem to be updating the site with some improvements in the toilet block, but they are always clean whilst the work is going on.

Having a laundry room on site was also a useful bonus. Hopefully we will visit again next year but for leisure rather than business. 


Date of Visit: September 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Penny outskirts 1 review from this member

 This is the second visit we've made to this excellent site, and certainly won't be the last.

The toilet block is exceptional. Lovely hot showers, curtained private wash areas, everything clean and sparkling, and working. Centrally located so fairly close to all units.

Pitches are well marked and laid out with good level hard-standing and grass. Plenty of room. Lots of greenery. The separate tent field is lovely.

The owners are so helpful and welcoming, willing to help in any way they can.

The bus ride to Cheltenham is just 12 mins, and makes it easy to pop into town for a drink and a meal, last bus at about 11. 30pm.

The only downsides we could find at all was the wifi wouldn't work, but that's really not the end of the world, and I'm sure if we'd gone to chat with the owners, they would have sorted it. Also during the daytime, light aircraft do fly into the local airfield, so a little noise from that, but not too bad.

If you want to visit Cheltenham or Gloucester, this would be a perfect site.

Reviewer: Trishandtez 31 reviews from this member

 Brilliant staff, couldn't do enough for you.

As said before road either side of you and noisy but you soon get used to it and a few planes overhead from a nearby airport but they were interesting rather than a pain, not a commercial airport I don't think.

Site well laid out 2 showers in each of the mens and women's toilet blocks push button free showers.

Separate field for tents and handstand for caravans and motor homes.

Buses very regular for Gloucester and Cheltenham just about 50yds from the entrance and one at 10. 42 am that takes you to Oxford once a day and lets you spend al day there for £9, free with bus pass coming back at around 5pm.

Would definitely visit this one again even with the road noise as its so handy

Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: PGA1966 17 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 3 Nights

The staff were very helpful, before and during and after our stay.

The campsite has good access to the M5 Motorway.

The town of Cheltenham approx 5 mins driveaway, the City of Gloucester approx 15 mins drive away, also good access to other towns and villages in the area. Shops within easy reach and a good choice of supermarkets in the town of Cheltenham.

Campsite catered for all types of camping Tents, Motor homes, caravans, trailer tents.

Exc. Clean toilet facilities which were cleaned at least once a day.

Dish washing area, many fresh water points.

One of the best camp-sites I have stayed on and very much enjoyed our Stay, definitely would use the campsite again.

Campsite well sheltered from wind and road noise.

Reviewer: Flybo 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Briarfields for one night en route to the south west. We were met by the site owners who booked us in and directed us to our pitch.

The site was well kept, pitches were of a reasonable size not to far from water points toilets etc, toilets/showers were very clean but a little bit tired.

The site was only a short ride away from Cheltenham, as we were only staying one night we didn't get any further afield.

The major downside of this site which will stop us returning was the horrendous noise from the motorway and nearby A road. 


Date of Visit: June 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Sue Wigan 2 reviews from this member

 This is a stunning site. Incredibly quick to get to from the motorway, literally 3 mins. Free wifi which is a bonus!

Very friendly check in and young man informative about the area.

Toilets nice and clean.

Really close to Gloucester and Cheltenham, we had a lovely afternoon in Cheltenham which was a really pretty place. (Just a heads up if anyone is intending going to the famous arts and crafts museum in Cheltenham it is shut until next year for refurbishments. )

We used this site as a stopover but plan to go next year for a week to see more of the area and would not hesitate in using this site again. 


Date of Visit: June 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Hobnobin 3 reviews from this member

 The owners were very friendly and helpful. We went there with a group of friends and they made sure they chose the perfect spot where we'd have plenty of space.

Would be better if catered more for tents though- seems to be geared towards campervans whose owners don't want tenters around- although that was perhaps just our experience.

Cannot fault the toilet cleanliness although perhaps a couple more showers would be handy as there are only 2. The roads surrounding the site are noisy but this is the sacrifice you make for its location being so close to the main roads and motorway.

The first night we all noticed the noise and it kept us awake but by the second night we were all so exhausted it didn't seem to bother us!

Great place if you have a dog- very animal friendly. Would recommend for a weekend break but I'd personally want to find a more peaceful location for a longer stay.

Reviewer: Happy hilda 4 reviews from this member

 We have just spent a fantastic week with friends at Briarfields. The new owners Scott & Jo are very friendly & helpful. Our friends had a caravan & Scott said we could pitch our tent next to them so we could be together. The site itself is stunning with beautiful trees and shrubs all around the site, & the toilets and showers were immaculately clean all the time we were there. Another big plus for us, as well as it being convenient for the motorway, was to catch the bus outside the site,the service is every 10 mins to Cheltenham & Gloucester, and there is also a daily bus to Oxford giving us 6 hours there & all free with our bus passes.We highly recommend this site and will definitely be back.
