I have nothing but praise for this site. The owners were very accommodating, on booking I was asked what size caravan I had and if I had a satellite dish and would I be putting up an awning.
I was then sited with my needs taken care of. On checking in I was given a A4 peice of paper full of very useful information (nearest park and ride for cheltenham, nearest shop, nearest caravan dealership, nearest chinese takeaway, info on car boot sales etc.) and all with directions.
The pitches where flat and very well maintained with hard standing for your van and a grass pitch for your awning, the site is bordered out with trees and shrubs and is very attractive.
I have read reviews about this site which mention having to enter a code to get into the toilet blocks, we were given a code but never had to use it as the door was always unlocked.
The toilets and showers where always clean and the showers where free to use, there was also heating in the toilet shower block. The site was situated within walking distance of a Harvester restaurant, and also a KFC. We had a fabulous meal at the Harvester and it was reasonably priced.
As mentioned in other reviews this site is situated near a busy main road, but to be honest we never really noticed it. I would recommend this site to everyone and I will definitely come back. A+
I wouldn't stay at this site again. There was nothing massively wrong with it, I just felt it was more geared up for caravans than tents.
The tent field was small, with no marked pitches. As a result people were on top of one another and it all felt very cramped.
The toilet block could have been cleaner too - both my partner and I noticed this. The block was definitely not checked as often as it should be, especially given how busy the site is.
Value for money wasn't bad, but I wouldn't stay here again.
A fabulous little site! We stopped for a couple of nights on our way down from Lancashire to Devon. Only about 5 minutes from the M5 it makes an ideal overnighter for anyone heading to/from the South West.
The owners were a lovely couple and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great grass pitch with plenty of room for our camper van and tent.
The toilet block was regularly checked and, despite the site being full as it was a bank holiday, was very clean.
A regular bus service (10 minute intervals) runs straight into Cheltenham town centre and picks up and drops off right outside the site. Plenty of shops and places to eat locally.
We'll definitely be back and have already recommended it to our friends.
We have just come back from this park after a few well deserved days here, On arrival we were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome, this park is well kept. Toilet block was nice and clean and nice hot showers.
The site was right next to the major roads and airfield but didn't really bother us.
There were no dog bins on site. I would advise taking along 240v lead with you ours wouldn't reach but a very nice neighbour let me his spare so I had to double up.
Stayed for a long weekend recently, as we were visiting friends and family in the area.
The site is well located near to major roads in and around Cheltenham and Gloucester (A40 M5 etc) and access to everywhere we needed to go was fantastic.
The site itself was near to some fairly major roads, which in itself caused a fair amount of ambient traffic noise during the day, and is near Staverton Airport. This means ambient levels of noise are higher than a countryside retreat and you get the occasional aircraft overhead. But to be fair, that's always the trade-off when you need good access to major cities and towns and you're staying in a tent. It didn't disturb my sleep, let's put it that way!
The prices were very reasonable, and the owners were very helpful and accommodating: they were more than fair when it came to visitors meeting up with us on site.
The camping field is quite small, but we stayed in our Polzeath 8 (which is humongous) so maybe that just made it look smaller. The camping field is surrounded by the tourer pitches but you'd hardly notice. It's a 10 second walk to the very clean, always warm, and very well stocked ablutions block.
Only a couple of showers, but plenty of sinks and toilets and the site is small enough that this probably won't cause any problems.
Pitches were level and the field well kept, with plenty of shade if you want it. Nothing marked out, but I wouldn't expect that to be too much of a problem either. Only 2 Electric hook-up boxes (4 hook-ups total) in the field, but this allows them to be more flexible about pitching the tents.
Nothing for the kids to do, but luckily, there weren't many tents on site so carefully playing football and rugby didn't really disturb anyone. However, in high season, where space is at a premium, that could be it's one, and only, failing. They do, however, offer free Wi-Fi which we found very useful, if a little flaky in terms of signal strength.
No shop, but again - we didn't really need one and you can always find somewhere (KFC 3 minute walk away, as is a lovely Harvester!)
All in all, a superb place to stay, as a touring base. A family with kids would find it little quiet for anything longer than a few days.
Well kept site. Clean toilets and powerful hot showers. There is traffic noise but it still has a calm feeling about it. The tent field does not have marked pitches which could be an issue in busier times but this is just speculation. Owners very helpful.
The location is fantastic for visiting places within Gloucestershire and there is lots of information in reception.
The wi-fi signal wasn't very strong but it was free. Would go there again.
Very friendly, efficient and professional. Lots of information about local facilities eg pubs, dog walks, transport.
Extremely clean toilets and showers, also warm - great in February. Surrounding areas very well kept.
Close to M5 so great if 'passing through' but even better to stay around.
Yes, it's near the flightpath of the airport, but it's light aircraft only and doesn't seem to operate at night - so didn't find this a problem.
Yes, it's near to busy road, but great for bus service both between Cheltenham and Gloucester and also walking distance to the Park and Ride for Cheltenham.
FREE WIFI - that's a winner with me.
Flat pitches although hard-standing a little small - some all gravel pitches available.
Some dog walking nearby, ok for a quick walk, and local shop not too far away.
Local pub (Pheasant) serving real ale and pretty good food, although road busy it is well lit and not too far to walk (about 5 mins).
Overall a very good site and we will be returning.
This is an ideal site for a one night stop just off the M5 or a weekend for visiting Cheltenham. On arrival found the reception to be friendly and informative pointing out to me the nearby Harvester pub and bus stop down the road. Site is quite picturesque even for Feb. And pitches spacious. Found the toilet/shower block to be warm and clean though the hot tap required constant pressing to fill the wash basin up. As others have commented there is road noise and although it may bother some people I gradually got used to it and died down overnight anyway. Took the opportunity to visit Cheltenham using the 20 min. Bus service near the campsite entrance and buses run quite late at night. Buses also run to Gloucester. Paid £15/night with ehu on hardstanding.
Stayed during half term site full but very quiet, no problem with freeview tv.
All pitches flat mainly hardstanding, toilet facilities very clean and as mentioned by previous visitors access is by code. Harvester and KFC within 5 minute walk, good sized caravan sales/spares dealer only 1.5 miles away.
Close to Cheltenham and only 6 miles from Gloucester docks. Had no problems with so called rules and regulations with site managers very helpful. Very little for the younger generation to do. Ideal for a quiet weekend break
This site was very well kept, but the traffic noise was horrendous. Walked to the Pheasant inn, where we were assured a warm welcome awaited us-they were shut!
Enjoyed watching the planes landing and taking off at the nearby airport, lovely flowers outside reception and lots of local information provided by the site wardens.
Dog walk involved crossing two busy roads then walking alongside another one, was disappointed with this site although the owners tried really hard to look after us.
The site is easy to access, not far off the M5. Upon arrival you are given a list of local shops, pubs etc, which is useful. You are also given a long number to access the toilet/shower block. Too long to easily remember.
There are not enough showers and they have to be operated by constantly pushing a button otherwise they stop! The toilets/showers were however,warm and clean.
The site is well laid out but we felt we were on the hard shoulder of a motorway due to traffic noise from two main roads. Hard and gravel standings ok. Would possibly use again because of location.
Nice places to visit, Gloster is very nice & also the nearby country park has some very nice walks. The site was very full due to being bank holiday.
However very disappointed with the lack off hot water for washing up and in the showers (the site being full is no excuse). The toilet block was clean but dated and the push taps on showers and sinks were rubish only stopped on for few seconds.
The site is a bit noisy from road and close by airport.Pitches are nice and big. If taps and showers were put right would be a lot better site, but at least showers were free.
Lovely little site, very well kept. Pretty and quiet, Nice modern and exceptionally clean toilet and shower block and very friendly owners. Bargain at £12 for the night.
Although more for the older person with no children as there's no playground, ideal for passing through or visiting in the area as we were.
Thought this campsite was worth a mention!
Close to Gloucester meant to be lovely although we didn't go so cant comment!
But if looking for a site in the area would highly recommend this one!
Both myself, my other half and a friend couldn't help but be impressed with this site and won't hesitate about staying here in the future.
We booked a caravan and a tent pitch for a couple of nights as we were off to Fairford Airshow (only a 40min drive away). The owners gave a really warm welcome with a sensible approach to the rules and regs. This evidently pays off as the whole of the site was immaculately clean and tidy, with the owners even wandering around the site in the day litter and weed picking.
The prices were pretty reasonable (£16 per night for the caravan, £12 for the tent) for mid season camping.
They gave us some print outs of really useful information about local attractions, places to eat and see and took the time to show us round the site.
The shower and toilet facilities were the cleanest I've ever seen on a campsite, putting a lot of the C&C club sites to shame.
The only thing lacking for families were children related facilities, such as a playground or family wash room, but then the benefit was that the site was pretty quiet and relaxed.
The site is located literally a minute from the M5 via a dual carriage way and a decent sub road and is really well signposted, so no dodgy country lane driving to then miss the site and try to have to turn round! The downside is that you can hear traffic, but it wasn't really that loud as the bypass adjacent was really on busy at normal peak times.
The site is pretty close to Gloucestershire Airport, which I personally liked as I could watch the light aircraft come in and out (it's a training airfield with a small business jet maintenance facility). Some might find the buzz a little annoying, but it really wasn't too bad.
Lots of facilities close by, a harvester and KFC only a couple of minutes walk. Cheltenham wasn't far off either, although we didn't venture that far.
Overall, really impressed with this site, the attitude of the owners, its location, price and cleanliness will ensure we will use it again the next time we are over in that area.
Lovely site nice and clean, took two grandchildren with us, didn't think much of the shower block, I had to keep pressing the button every two seconds and the water only just about managed to come through, although the girls used the other shower and they said it was fine.
The number to get into the showers and toilets was quite long and I only just remembered it by the time we were leaving. The site was very close to Cheltenham centre and we went to the local lido because the weather was so great. Would probably go back there.
No park for the kids.
