 First outing in our campervan, previous reviews seem to be accurate.
Site is ideally placed to visit Slimbridge, also next to canal so ideal for walking and cycling. Bikes can be hired form canal side just at entrance to site. Also canal boats were available for hire.
Pub situated at entrance to Site is excellent serving good food at reasonable prices, however you need to book to get in on a saturday night as it is very busy.
Site itself was clean and well kept with level spacious pitches. Toilet block is dated, but clean and warm and a new block looked to be well on its way to completion. Would recommend and will visit again.

We stayed here for two nights in February. Weather was mild and sunny. The site is lovely - very quiet and a great base for Slimbridge. The pitches are quite level and spacious. We didn't use the showers so can't comment but the facilities felt well heated. The new shower block is almost built.
The pub at the entrance is lovely and offered take-out beer and food - we didn't eat there but the menu looked really good, not the usual microwave basics. There are pool tables, darts and a skittles alley.
Our late afternoon walk along the towpath to Frampton-on-Severn was lovely - there's not much when you get there but it is a lovely village and we did find a pub for a quick drink.
Very short walk to Slimbridge which was a great day out. Our two girls (13 & 10) really enjoyed it.

Just returned from 3 nights at this caravan park.
THE NEW SHOWER BLOCK IS HALF BUILT !
The caravan park is set in a lovely place and the pub at the entrance to he site served some of the best pub food I have had and reasonably priced too. It also serves award winning ales.
The slimbridge wildfowl wetlands trust is a must to visit. Every night at 16.40 thousands of starlings took to the sky to perform some great shapes this performance lasted about 30 mins before they go to roost.
The weather was -5 and snowed but it did not spoil a thing,would love to visit in the summer.
The shower block is OK that's all I can say about that but I would think the new one will be up and running by May.
Would go back to this site again.
No shop on site but Tesco is only 3.5 miles away in cam.
Go straight over the island at the end of the road and straight over the motorway into cam town centre Tesco on the left.
Enjoy.

This a quiet site located behind the Tudor Arms along side the Glouceter - Sharpness canal. The site has a small reception staffed by a very helpful gentleman. The pitches on the main area were of a decent size to get into comfortably although for a field of that size another water point would have been useful.
The site staff kept the grass very short and in really good condition allowing for the wet conditions. There are plenty of hard standing pitches available all with electric hook up. The toilet block is very dated and as such could not be described as immaculately clean and with only 2 showers per gender a queue was common at most times. There are plans for a new shower block but no one could say when this was likely to happen.
The pub served really good food in generous portions and offered a choice of 6 real ales plus local cider to wash it down with. There is no on site shop but the boat house adjacent to the canal provides emergency essentials and its neighbouring cafe excellent hearty breakfasts.
Canal boats are available for hire form here. There are miles of walks along the tow path. Crossing the swing bridge its an easy walk of around 1/2 mile to the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust for a day out. Gloucester is only a short drive away and we found the park and ride excellent value.
Overall we found this a peaceful site and would certainly go again but would love to see the new shower block up when we arrive.

Called in for one night to break up my journey along the M5 and was my fifth visit here. As previous comments and as before found it clean and peaceful and the GBG listed pub at the entrance very useful with good food and real ales. Right by the canal towpath and Slimbridge WWT so good for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers. Looks like planning permission granted for new toilet block as plans are pinned to the existing toilet block entrance.

The site = wow!
The facilities = wow!
The pub and food = wow!
The walks along the canal = wow!
Can you tell we enjoyed this site? Just off the M5 motorway and you're on the site - and it's nice and quiet, the sounds of passing boats making the most noise and traffic to and from the bird sanctuary.
We walked for miles alongside the canal and ended up in god-knows what villages, finding places to have a drink and then heading back to the site.
Site-wise - it's quiet and plenty of room for everyone - you don't see any staff on there fussing about - they just visit, clean, litter pick, etc, but you don't need much help do you?
Make sure you visit Gloucester - the city centre is great for shopping and the docks are good - we went on the weekend of the Tall Ships Festival - and it was a superb day out!

We visited this site on our second outing with our new caravan. It was fab, we stayed in the meadow, layout was good lots of room for getting twin axle in and water and waste water nearby.
The site is really close to wetlands and canal walks, we walked into Frampton and back along the canal, really lovely and peaceful.
As other posts have said the facilities are dated but clean and warm and to be honest we didn't really use them as we had our own in the caravan. Chap at reception was very helpful, we'll definitely be coming back.
PS website doesn't do the site justice.

We have just returned from our first camping trip away in our new tent . Hubby is an experienced camper and I have always been a bit of an armchair camper, in principle it sounds great, but in reality I like my home comforts. So we went along and arrived in heavy gusting winds. Trying to put up a new tent in that was an experience and a half. I ended up following the tent (somehow attached to it) down the field! We had some lovely people come to our aid however and the tent was eventually pitched. Then the rain started!
The site itself was lovely, the facilities block rather small, so the new planned block will be a welcome addition. The pub at the entrance to the site, was a little expensive and the staff could do with some laughing gas to make them smile .
The boat shed across the road was smashing and served lovely breakfasts and wonderful bread pudding.
We had an enjoyable three nights, and have arrived home, wet, bedraggled, muddy and happy .
We will return .

Séjour de 5 nuits en tente avec electricité. Terrain très bien entretenu, toilettes blocks trés propre. Peu de campeurs à cette période donc extremement calme. Visites régulières de gros rongeurs la nuit dans la tente (bien ranger les denrées alimentaires).Congélateur et micro-ondes disponibles. Trés agréables promenades en bicyclettes au bord du canal (16 miles aller). A proximité trés grand magasin d'articles de camping, utile lorsque l'on a pas les prises électriques adéquates.
Nous retournerons avec plaisir à Tudor Caravan Park
----------------------
Stay 5 nights in a tent with power. Terrain very well maintained, very clean toilet blocks. Few campers at this time therefore extremely calm. Regular visiting wholesale rodents night in the tent (though storing food). Freezer and microwave available. Very pleasant walks bicycles along the canal (16 miles one way). A nearby very large store of camping, useful when one has not taken adequate power.
We will return with pleasure at Tudor Caravan Park

This was our second visit here and it will be our last. I agree with the last reviewer about ball games, they have enough space here to dedicate a separate area for games away from the tents.
On arrival the friendly warden gave us a map and a choice of pitches in the centre suggesting that the far end would be quieter as the families were camped at the near end. Not so, although we found ourselves a space well away from anyone else, it wasn't long before first the football game started and then two young men decided to practise kicking their rugby ball right in front of us!
The cleanliness of the shower block leaves a lot to be desired it didn't seem to matter what time of day or night we used them, the toilets always smelt, for the size of the site I think the facilities are poor.
The first time we stayed last summer we enjoyed a pleasant meal with our two well behaved dogs in the pub next to the site, however this year when we went in for a meal we were told that dogs were no longer allowed and we could sit outside, not an option as it was wet, windy and cold or in the public bar, which consisted of a pool table, a loud TV and some equally loud youths, not a nice atmosphere. In the end we had to drive several miles along the Gloucester road before we found a pub that would accept our dogs. At least we were able to have a nice meal in comfort, our dogs were no trouble and the landlord was £40 better off.
I think it is a real shame that the owners of this site do not take notice of what people have to say and make an effort to improve things, as it is in a perfect spot, right next to the canal and the wildfowl centre, with lots of interesting things to see and do, walking, cycling, boating and Gloucester and the river severn is just a few miles away.
I would only use this site again if they, improved the shower block, designated an area just for games and had an adults only section that included tents.

Slimbridge is perfectly positioned along the M5 for a nightstop or for visiting Slimbridge wildfowl centre.
The site is well kept and the facilities are clean, the big let down is the size of the facilities block which as already stated, could be overrun on a busy week-end or in high season !. One of the staff did inform me that they had planning permision for a new facilities block, haven't I read that before somewhere on this thread !.
The site could do with a 'no ball games' ruling, there is a rally field next door which could be used for ball games.
The 'shed' across the road is a must for breakfast, followed by a stroll along the canal.Or cycle if you wish altogether a great location.

Just returned from this site. We had two nights stay, very quiet site, no noise after 10 o.clock. Showers facilities looked alright but didn't actually use them. Toilets fairly clean, a few odd cobwebs but acceptable.
We visited the wetlands centre which was lovely and plan to return with grandchildren. The walks along the canal were nice and the cafe was a small friendly place to stop chat and eat. There was a pub right at the entrance to the site which did good food, more of an adults and toddler site.
Would return for a one night stop off or possibly a weekend. Compared to caravan club site, a fortnight previous, for same length of time hard standing, E.H.U, but less facilities. It was 20 pence cheaper. So quite expensive in comparison and the pitches were not as big.
Overall pleasant friendly site. But a little expensive.

This was our first trip away in our new motorhome. The site was very peaceful and the warden helpful. Lovely spot close to the canal and the pub served delicious meals. We did feel the toilet block needed a refurb but I think this has been mentioned numerous times on this site so we weren't overly surprised to find them basic. We will definitely be back anyway when the weather improves!

Our second visit to Tudor Caravan Park. We had a lovely 1 night stay. Very helpful Warden. Level hardstanding spacious pitches, clean toilets/showers. Excellent meal at the Pub at the entrance. Not sure if there is a playarea but we didnt see one. Quite a few people on the park but very peaceful.

Just returned from a 6 night stay at this lovely canal side site. We stayed in the old orchard, adults only section which was so peaceful and quiet. Lovely pub at the entrance and boatyard on the side of the canal which serves meals and acts as a shop with basic supplies. The only thing I think that could be of benefit would be more toilets. I am sure it must be frustrating in busy periods when campers have a good walk to the only block on site and also a laundrette. I also think it was a little on the expensive side considering so few facilities but overall very nice.
