A note from the site themselves...

We welcomed our first guests over ten years ago with just a couple of portaloos and an idea. Fast forward to today, we are happy that Elmwicke is a place where everyone is welcome. Sharing the place we call home, getting to know those who stay and bringing life into our farm is our privilege and we hope to welcome you soon, Jonathan

Great location for exploring the area

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025

Great location for exploring the areas of Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham at a lovely quiet site with stacks of room and wonderful facilities. We chose this site as it was in a quiet rural setting, central to the area we wanted to explore; namely Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. Close to beautiful Cotswold villages. We had an electric hook up and campfires and BBQs allowed. The showers and toilets are kept very clean and plenty of hot water. We had plenty of space and even though they were fully booked for the weekend, it was not at all crowded. There are a few pubs in the area within a mile or two. You can order breakfast for the following day; we didn't try the food so can't comment but I'm sure it would be good. They have goats 🐐 and tractor 🚜 rides for children.

A great weekend retreat

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025

We found everything we wanted on the door step. Using all the information given to us as we arrived helped to organise the weekend quite nicely. I would definitely return soon. The only criticism I could come up with is the drainage tracks on the field were a little bit problematic for my dog.

Wide open space, kind owners, clean facilities

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025

Fire pits and BBQ stands on every pitch. Had a wonderful children's trailer ride which our 2 year old loved. Hosts are professional and friendly. Pre-book breakfasts available. Clean tidy site.
