Family camping on a Severn Valley farm, with campfires to enjoy, animals to meet and tractor-and-trailer rides

Jon, Ruth and their three daughters are the fourth and fifth generation farming at Red House Farm. You'll see them all at some point during your stay, whether that's welcoming you, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good natter. Their family has run a campsite from the farm for eight years and love welcoming campers to stay and playing their part in helping others make lifelong memories. Located in the heart of the Severn Valley, with beautiful views of Malvern, Cleeve, May and Bredon Hills, their's is a pretty special place to stay.

Set on a working farm with a flock of Jacob sheep, small herd of rare breed Gloucester cattle, Pygmy goats (Mabel and Martha) and Bacon the pig, the campsite is home to far more residents than just the weekend visitors. Campers, though, have a huge meadow all of their own, bordered by a hedge but otherwise spacious, flat, open. The field is some seven acres in total, with a relaxed, pitch-where-you-like way of operating (great if you want to book with a group of families). It also means there's plenty of space for games of cricket, rugby, football and flying kites. You'll be here for five minutes and the kids will have already made new friends.

Facilities-wise, things are on the move, so it slightly depends on when you arrive this summer. There’s currently a small portable block of two toilets, two urinals, two wash basins and a shower but an all-new washblock is also opening from mid July. It will house additional washing up areas, a fridge, freezer, a washing machine and more. And as well as a handful of regular electric hook ups, the campsite is also modern enough to boast two electric vehicle charging points. That's not to say the place doesn't maintain a traditional camping vibe. Campfires are very much allowed and you can buy 'barbecue baskets' full of the farm's own produce for cooking on the flames.

While fun and games in the meadow will keep littl'uns busy, tractor-and-trailer rides to see the animals are undoubtedly a highlight for family visitors and it's a good opportunity for Jon and Ruth to teach visitors about their farm. The roaming cattle and the rural setting give the sense that you're a million miles from home, though, actually, the campsite has a rather convenient location. It's not too far from the M5, and it's 10 minutes from Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, so you never need to spend much longer than is needed in the car. The good road connections also put the Malvern Hills, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds within easy reach, with the likes of Cleeve Hill, Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle within a 15-minute drive.

Fans of animal antics, step this way… stay at award-winning Elmwicke Campsite and you'll be on a working farm surrounded by a flock of Jacob sheep, a herd of rare-breed Gloucester cattle, and the Pygmy goats Mabel and Martha, plus Bacon the pig. As you can probably tell, this spot in the Severn Vale is a proper rural retreat, with fabulous views of the Malverns and Bredon Hill to boost your Gloucestershire break. Site owners (and carers to all those animals) Jon and Ruth opened up the site in 2012; they're fourth-generation farmers and you’ll see them at some point during your stay, whether that’s welcoming you in, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good old natter. The campsite is a seven-acre flat field where you can choose your own pitch, and camp together if you’re with friends or family. There’s plenty of space for games of cricket, rugby, football, rounders or flying kites, and the owners are more than happy to take guests on a tractor-trailer ride around the fields to visit the animals. Alongside men’s and women’s loos, the amenities block also has showers and a family room with baby-changing facilities. To help you with keeping everybody clean and tidy, there’s also a laundry area with a washing machine. An on-site café is open for breakfast rolls, pastries and fresh coffee to get you going in the morning, and on some nights you can eat at the pop-up restaurant that's run by a fab local caterer. If you’d rather be self-sufficient, barbecues are allowed on site, and you can order meat packs from the farm, as well as hiring firepits and buying bags of wood, which are delivered daily.

32 - Grass Pitch with Electric Hook-Up
Very nice campsite in rural surroundings (although the pitches themselves are in a well organised square field with hedges surrounding) and still very close to Cheltenham and other places of interest. Hosts are very friendly and site is well organised. Was lovely to be able to pre-order breakfast. Facilities block is well maintained and well appointed, the Bayliss & Harding hand soap was a nice touch too.

Booked on hipcamp a d received confirmation on hipcamp ap. When I arrived on site office was shut despite arriving on time. I rang the number and the person who answered had no idea I had booked and told me the site was fully booked. They did let me stay but there was no one to show me round or give me a fire pit etc as advertised Site was clean, toilets are nice and cafe was good in the morning.

Such a great find. We stopped over here on our way to Cornwall and wished we could have stayed longer. Great facilities and cute shop/cafe. Gorgeous surroundings.

Non-Electric Grass Pitch
The most lovely of hideaways nestled in the Cotswolds mesmerising charm . So close to Royal Cheltenham Spa town it’s a perfect sanctuary . The campsites facilities ( sanitaire for European travellers )are well equipped , thoughtful and spotless ! The lavatory and showers are superb - again the attention to detail is excellent and caters for all eventuality’s ( ladies ) along with being very ascetic for a campsite ! There’s a welcome small on site cafe which is perfect with some picnic tables immediately outside . The field itself is sympathetic to biodiversity and sections are left to grow wild which is wonderful . Fire pits are a bonus as were the daily tractor rides for the children young and old ! The animal song chorus is refreshing also . Grab yourself a tent and give this site a try ! Ruth et.Al you ROCK ! Denise Adam and Tabitha xx

Super friendly hosts, and free camping in a large but well thought-out field so plenty of space. The facilities were excellent, and the bacon-butties from the cafe were a perfect start to the day. The mile or so walk to the pub was great - quiet lane, footpaths and only a short section on the pavement along the main road. Would definitely come back again.

The facilities were really good and very clean. The field is a bit soul-less, not really our cup of tea, but not a bad campsite and would probably be good for children as it is on a farm.

A large open field with plenty of space to make yourself comfortable in if you're having a longer stay. We only had one night as a stop over and arrived REALLY late. Ruth messaged us to check we were still coming and that everything was alright. She was really understanding of our late arrival. Facilities were clean and the field had families who were clearly there for a longer stay.

Lovely relaxed site with very friendly owner and bonus tractor ride for (overgrown) kids! Flat pitches with lots of space in the middle for ball games and very quiet at night despite the location not far from m5. Spotless wash block and hot showers. Will definitely revisit!

Non-Electric Grass Pitch
We loved our stay at Elmwicke last weekend. The pitches were level and well spaced out. While the weather was lovely, so was the welcome. Ruth explained where everything was and where we could find her if we needed anything else. The toilets and shower facilities were spotless and well stocked with toiletries. There is a lot on offer for this site. We are already planning for next year as it is a good base for getting around the area, especially when there are show's/fair's on. Getting there could not be simpler (from the North) as it is simple case of J10 - M5 and you are more or less there Give Elmwicke a go - it won't disappoint

The views are beautiful from the site and there are some great walks to be had from the site. The breakfast sandwiches are outstanding!! There a beautiful pub - the gloucester old spot within easy walking distance. The hosts are so helpful and welcoming. We have visited once with friends and returned with family- we will definitely go again

The owners (John and Ruth) are very welcoming and the facilities at Elmwicke are perfect for families and campers in general. Clean well kept toilets/shower block with a laundry/dish washing room which also has fridge freezers for use. Large field with electric hookup pitches one end and fire pits dotted around which you can help yourselves to. The pitches are a generous size and allow for a large 8 man tent, shelter/gazebo and have space to spare for a campfire. In the evening the owners come round on a tractor and take kids on a trailer ride around the farm. Great fun! All in all, we had a lovely time and will definitely recommend the site to others and hope to be back soon.

From the host
Elmwicke campsite is located in the heart of the Severn Valley, with beautiful views of Malvern, Cleeve, Cotswolds, May and Bredon Hills. We are a working farm with a flock of Jacob sheep, small herd of rare breed Gloucester cattle, Pygmy goats (Mabel and Martha) and Bacon the pig. We have run a campsite from the farm for eight years and love welcoming campers to stay with us and help make magical memories. We think it's a pretty special place to stay. The campsite is a 7 acre field where you are able pitch where you'd like which is great whether you're on your own or booking as a group as you can be by your friends. We have acres of space for games of cricket, rugby, football, flying kites (we've seen it all). One of our favourite things is taking guests on a tractor/trailer ride around the fields to visit all the animals. We opened our new amenities block on16th July 2021 which is amazing and makes staying with us even better. Jon, Ruth, their daughters Renna, Lucy and Georgie are the 4th and 5th generation farming at Red House Farm. You'll see all of us at some point during your stay whether that's welcoming you, delivering wood, cleaning the facilities or having a good natter with you.
Nearby attractions

It's 10 minutes to the western edge of the Cotswolds (and around 15 to Sudeley Castle and Cleeve Hill), Cheltenham and the medieval town of Tewkesbury, host to one of the largest medieval festivals in the world. Sherdons Golf Course in Tredington is a five-minute drive away, they have a good pirate themed mini golf adventure round which is great fun for all ages. The Forest of Dean is around 40 minutes away, where there are lots of forest trails for cycling, as well as a sculpture trail to walk. Puzzlewood is a particularly fantastic place to visit here – the wood has been used as a filming location for many major films and television programs, including Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Gloucester is just 15 minutes’ drive away, the Cathedral there, too, is another must see for all Harry Potter fans, try and match the setting to your favourite scenes.

Food and drink

The Gloucester Old Spot (012426 80321) is a 20-minute walk away or a couple minutes’ drive, the freehouse serves local ales and ciders and their food has been included in the Michelin Guide to pubs. Five minutes’ drive away is The House in The Tree (01242 680241), a great country pub with outdoor and indoor space as well as a children's play area and animal petting zone. No.3 Restaurant (01242 903790) is just over a ten-minute drive away, serving everything from a full English to their renowned tomahawk steaks. Their main restaurant is lovely but there's also a charming outdoor dining space, which is covered for all weathers.
