2 nights at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping
We stayed at Nancy's (70s’ caravan). The interior was the cosiest I could ever ask for. Minimalist but essential amenities made our stay enjoyable.
The camping site offers good views, especially for watching a splendid sunset if the weather is right. Campsite facilities are well-maintained and spotless.
Its location is very close to Evesham, making it easy to find shops, pubs, and access roads to other nearby destinations.
Don't miss paying Shakespeare a visit if you haven't done so yet 😉

2 nights at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping
A great site which is very well run. Quiet, with excellent facilities and helpful staff. The welcome brochure contained everything you could possibly need to know (and a 20% off voucher for food at the local pub which didn’t hurt!). Would definitely recommend staying here

Weekend Trip to Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping
We loved Nancy the caravan. Very comfortable, beautiful, cosy, and had everything we needed. The site as a whole felt very special, lovely touches everywhere, the beautiful flower patches, the shop, the ice in the freezer!!, the games, maps. It was spotlessly clean, very relaxed, and nice and quiet. Thank you 🌺 🏕️

The best vintage caravans in River Avon guide
When to go
Summer (June through August) is the best time to get on the water, and events and festivals are often held along the riverfronts in Bath and Bristol. Boat tours and cruises typically run from mid-March to mid-October, although winter visits are still possible for private groups. Many campsites stay open year-round, but be sure to check for seasonal closures.
Know before you go
- The River Avon (or Bristol Avon) rises in South Gloucestershire and flows through Wiltshire, Bath, and Bristol, before connecting to the Kennet and Avon Canal and the Kennet Navigation.
- Sightseeing cruises or multi-day boat cruises along the River Avon are possible from Bath and Bristol.
- Most campsites in South West England require advance booking, and you may need to pay the full amount before arrival.
