Reviewer: Tangerinepete 4 reviews from this member

 Visited this park two years ago and was glad to see new toilet blocks now commissioned - a vast improvement on the old block which seriously is in need of refurbishment. Neat and tidy grounds with well trimmed (and flat) grass areas.

Gets very busy over weekend - lot of vehicle movements made worst by un tarmaced roadways we had dust constantly chucked over us! Excellent pub nearby with good grub. Slimbridge Trust just a walk down the road.

Not far off the M5 making site good stop over. Reception pleasant but they don't take Switch or Credit Cards which is not helpful.

Reviewer: Youlbury 16 reviews from this member

 It was our first time camping as a family, so it was important to go to a site not too far away and had good facilities.

On both accounts we were not disappointed, the check in at reception was easy, the person at reception was helpful and polite.

We camped without EHU, so we were a field down from where the toilets were.

The field is large and open with little shade or shelter, it is a little featureless but not at all unpleasant, we had plenty of space and a number of water points were close by.

The toilets and shower block were modern, very clean and tidy; I would recommend getting in there early to avoid queue at peak times around 8-9 am.

The washing up facilities in the same block was new and clean along with a laundry.

The Tudor Arms is quite a nice pub and the premium perry at 7.5% at £2.35 a pint gets the thumbs up, the boat station was good for breakfast but be prepared for a wait at busy times.

It is a good site near the canal and a great base to tour the area.

Reviewer: Janetbeswick 5 reviews from this member

 Lovely flat site with neatly cut grass. There is 1 very old toilet / shower block that is not at all pleasant. There is another new toilet / shower / washing up building that is beautifully finished. However saying that it has only recently been opened it looks as if the block is not cleaned very well at all. All the grout has dirt and scum on and brackets to the panelling were caked with grime. The loos were in the same state. A shame really as its a beautiful facility being let go to rack and ruin. We ended up using our caravan for toilet and showering in as the 4 showers were stretched to say the least.

On the good side the site is in a stunning location on the Gloucester & Sharpness canal with cycling and walking a must. Beautiful sunsets over the canal. The pub does good food at reasonable prices and there is a canalside cafe and shop too. WWF Slimbridge is just down the lane and there is an abundance of birds - The Dawn Chorus is phenomenal!

I would definitely recommend this site to those who do not mind using their units to shower and toilet in and who love stunning locations.

There are lots of campers on site at weekends which made the site overcrowded and the rubbish skips were insufficient to take all the trash.

There is an adult only section of the site which was very reassuring as there was quite a bit of noise from the large camping field.

Reviewer: Coralyorke 2 reviews from this member

 Had a great stay at this site for 2 nights. Managed to get in on a cancellation very helpful staff. Did hope to speak to reception before we left to let them know what a lovely site they have. Very clean even though the site was busy and bins full they were kept tidy. The site is well maintained with lovely trimmed hedges, short grass and bedding areas around toilet.

Good facilities maybe a tad tired but there is a new block further from where we were. Water taps n wash up areas close by. The pub was lovely great food.

Canal near by and was great to watch the boats, and the bridge opening for them. A short walk to Slimbridge wetlands which was a lovely day out. Would recommend this site and go again ourselves.

Reviewer: Peggytent 2 reviews from this member

 Just great. Arrived a bit late but welcome note and instructions left for us conveniently. Very clean and quiet pitch. Excellent clean and plentiful facilities in a great location by the canal. Friendly flexible staff catering for a good crowd of assorted campers. Off site facilities nearby included pub with good food, beer and restaurant and a canalside cafe for snacks and more traditional fare.

Reviewer: Rhi+Gav 11 reviews from this member

 This is a great site, primarily for caravans and campervans, although our tent was very welcome and we were certainly not the only campers in tents!

Fantastic facilities with the new shower and toilet block, but this is closed mid morning for cleaning. When this block is closed there is another that you can use,so no problem.

Flat pitches and the site is very well maintained.

There is a shop on site which sells reasonably priced camping essentials including Gas.

There is a pub at the site entrance which is extremely handy and the canal runs alongside the site.

There are some lovely walks in the local area and plenty of cafes etc along the way!

I found this campsite to be very good value for money.

Lovely campsite and great spot for a weekend.

 This site is a must visit! I had been a little concerned by their adult only field when booking as we have a 6 year old but needn't have worried.

The site was full, yet the amenities were spotless and there was always showers available etc. It is very quiet and the pitches are well spaced so as you are friendly with your neighbours but not sat in their laps.

The scenery and wildlife was just as impressive,and there are shops and fuel nearby. We will definitely use this site again!

Reviewer: Pikey 1 3 reviews from this member

 We used this site as a stop over for one night. Friendly welcome, decent sized pitches, nice shower blocks and facilities.

The pub is at the entrance to the site, food was good, although slightly on the expensive side.

Just a word of warning as per the sites instructions, do not listen to your sat nav, follow the signs shown on the Tudors website, there is somewhere to turn around down the narrow lane, but its tight.

Reviewer: Smartcabman 5 reviews from this member

 The site was very tidy and well kept. The new shower block is very nice clean and warm. The area is very nice with the canal and water trust within walking distance.

The Tudor pub is next door and is a good local pub but food is expensive and did not have a chicken meal on the menu which is not good if you don't like red meat.

As for the camp site, Yes will definitely stay here again.

Reviewer: Tattooed Granny 1 review from this member

 First time out with our new motorhome and we couldn't have picked better weather or a better site! Clean, quiet and we could make all our mistakes without being watched. Had a brilliant time,people really friendly, lovely pub.

We intend to travel and live in our motorhome for six months from September so it was important that our first trip be a good one. Took our bikes for a long cycle up the tow path, first time on a push bike for thirty odd years my usual position is pillion on a large motorbike!

Tried out everything even our awning and we plan to make it our first stop when we set off on our travels in September

Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 This happens to be one of my favourite sites in the country and can only reiterate what has been posted by the previous eriba taffy. It's probable a personal thing really just that I like quiet country sites, no noise, wildlife, real ale pub, safe cycling paths, walking. And that's it, if you want the 'bright lights' Don't come!

Paid £16.50 per night for one with ehu,hope the prices don't keep going up though.

Reviewer: EribaTaffy 21 reviews from this member

 This private site is located at Slimbridge about 13 miles south of Gloucester with easy access off the M5. It is open all the year round. The site is adjacent the Gloucester to Sharpness canal and access is through the car park of the Tudor Arms public house which is independent of the caravan site. You can hire bikes or boats from the unit opposite the site.

Welcome on arrival was good with clear explanation of facilities and arrangements for siting.

There are 79 touring pitches with a choice of grass or hardstandings. Pitches are reasonably level but you may need levelling blocks. 19 of the pitches are in an adult-only area. The main area has a lot of small saplings which in a few years will have developed to take away the slightly open feel.

There is a gate at the entrance which is kept closed during the day for security and is locked between the hours of 10.30pm and 7am.

There are two heated toilet blocks, the original block is located in the adults-only area with showers and WCs and a covered in washing up area. This block is tired and has a drains smell about it but is clean. However in the main area there is a super new toilet block with showers, WCs, privacy cubicles, and disabled bathroom, washing up/vegetable preparation area and laundry facilities. Even if you are in the adults-only area it is worth the short walk to use the new facilities. The showers are large with a built in seat and large dressing area. Showers are pre-set push button operated. The laundry charges £3 a wash.

Service points around the site for water and waste water disposal. Also chemical disposal facilities.

The site is keen on recycling and conservation having a David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award since the year 2000.

There is no dog walk on site nor children's play area but plenty of places adjacent to the site to exercise Fido or the kids. The Severn Way runs along the route of the canal.

There is a small shop selling newspapers and bread at the boatyard opposite or there is a Tesco at Cam about 3 miles away.

We paid £14.50 per night for standard hardstanding pitch with 16 amp electrical hook-up, caravan, awning and two adults.

Local attractions include:

• The Tudor Arms pub adjacent the site which has won the CAMRA Gloucester Country Pub of the year for the last three years. Food was very reasonable and the beer very good.

• Slimbridge Wetland Centre which is about 10 minutes walk from the site and is a haven for swans, geese and ducks.

• Gloucester which has lots of attractions including the Gloucester Quays designer outlet in the docks if you like retail therapy or the National Waterways Museum where you can go inside a canal narrow boat and realise how much more living space there is in an Eriba!

• Newark Park National Trust a delightful house and grounds in the Ozleworth Valley.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return because there are so many other attractions in the area we would like to see.

 Paid our first visit to this site across a two night weekend in early March & thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Lovely quiet, flat site which is made all the nicer by it's location adjacent to Gloucester / Sharpness canal. Lovely walks to be had along flat canal towpath, with open views across countryside. Those who prefer to cycle along towpath can hire bikes just outside entrance to site.

Nice pub at entrance to site, with large conservatory area & outside covered area with plenty of seating. Cannot comment on food served as did not pay visit on this occasion.

New shower / toilet / laundry block on site very nice, with several toilet cubicles (plus urinals in Gents) & separate shower cubicles, each with bench and dry area with hooks for hanging clothes etc., one larger shower cubicle also present with own toilet & hand basin. Several hand basins in main area plus two other hand basins in separate cubicles, for those who prefer 'wash down' rather than shower.

All pitches of nice size with gravel area for both caravan & awning with grassed area at side of each pitch to park car. At time of visit, only one chemical disposal point, which we felt was a little inadequate for size of site - this would be our only 'negative' point as this site is definitely going on our list of 'regular' visits, in fact we have already booked again for nice long weekend in June.

Reviewer: Annielou 6 reviews from this member

 We loved this site.

There was plenty of room for the kids to run around and a separate area for adults only pitches. The new toilet / shower / laundry block was spotless, roomy and had plenty of hot water - no need for a family cubicle as they were all large and spacious. Large paddock for dog walking (please pick up after your animals!) and kids ball games. Right next to the Sharpness canal but safe for the kids and two minutes from the Wetlands Trust.

Nice pub with very good selection of ciders and food - quite pricey and can get very busy - we had to wait over an hour for our food but they did warn us! Access to Towns and Cities good. Cattle Country was an excellent day out for the family. Berkeley Castle, Gloucester, Bristol, Stonehouse, Uley, Dursley and Cam not far away.

One downside which could be said for a lot of sites, if the waste and fresh water area could be ramped, it would save heaving a full barrel over the step. The chemical disposal point had not been completed in October so all toilet waste had to be hauled down to the adults only area to be disposed of. Saying that, building work was underway for this facility on the main site. Bins were placed at the entrance so could be emptied on the way out every day. Recycling option was nice to see. Would be nice to see a play area with climbing equipment for the kids where dogs can't go as we frequently stepped in the dog mess left in the paddock by selfish owners.

Overall, a very well looked after, roomy and friendly site - highly recommended

 Not so good bits:

Park is a bit bland, needs some colour to liven it up a bit.
Disabled facilities need a shower room brush so you can clean up after you. Floor was dirty and no sweep to clean it up.
Several power outages whilst we were on site.
Pitches are a bit tight

Good bits.

Facilities are modern and clean
The site is large in size
About 13 miles from Gloucester near the wetlands centre
Pub on site serves reasonable food
Would we go again. I think we would.
