Why stay here ...
Severn House Farm is a family run CL set in a quiet and idyllic setting within the historic Berkeley Vale.
The pitching area and site facilities are located in a fenced field and offers a choice of hard standing or grass pitches for the convenience of visitors to suit their personal preferences and/or weather conditions.
Access to the site is through a digitally locked gate offering a high level of privacy and security in equal measures.
The site is a recreational haven for walkers and wild life enthusiasts alike and an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area and attractions within striking distance.
A five minute walk brings you to: the Severn Way, two nearby lakes to take a stroll around, the Severn estuary, National Cycle Route 41 or if you prefer you can sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. It is an ideal location for bird watching.
Within 3 miles you can enjoy The Jenner Museum - home of the pioneering Dr Edward Jenner whose vaccination experiment led to the eradication of smallpox, Berkeley Castle - a medieval castle famous for its connection with Edward II or The Berkeley Deer Park - a heard of red and fallow deer, an ancient line of oak trees and breathtaking views.
Within 10 miles:- Slimbridge Wetlands Centre, The Tyndale Monument or Stroud Farmers Market (Saturdays).
Within 20 miles:- Gloucester Quays, Tetbury, Westonbirt Arboretum, The Cotswolds, SS Great Britain, Bristol Docks and Chepstow Castle.
Public Transport - Bus stop in Berkeley (3 miles) and train station at Cam (5 miles) which will take you into the centre of Bristol.
Pub awarded the 'Best in Gloucestershire' (2 miles away) and good food at the Hotel in Berkeley plus several other pubs and takeaways.
One thing for sure there will be more than enough to entertain you during your stay at Clapton or alternatively you can just relax and unwind in the tranquility that is Severn House Farm CL.
With pitch prices starting from as little as £10 a night, and a further discounted rate of £60 for a full week of continuous days, we believe you would be hard put to find better value for money. Please note that whilst we cannot offer electrical hook-ups we believe the location will more than make up for this. We do, however, offer a battery charging service.
For further information please call or email and join us in the Gloucestershire country side where a warm welcome is assured and for the start of what we hope will be many visits.

Basic off grid CL affording peace and tranquility
Severn House Farm
This CL is located on a reasonably large and generally flat meadow with wonderful distant views of the hills of South Wales. The Severn itself is about half a mile away, beyond an enormous flood embankment, and is obviously not visible from the site. The grass on the site had been mowed with a tractor and rotary mower and the hay had not been collected, adding to the wild camping feel of it. We carry a large rake for this purpose and we had no problem levelling our T/A van on it. There is a freshwater tap and a loo emptying point, as expected. No showers or toilets, just a field. We do need to try to be accurate with reviews and I suspect a previous reviewer was confusing this CL with another one somewhere else when he mentioned the well-looked-after showers. We shower in the van and wouldn't have been using site showers anyway. But others could be disappointed by that totally incorrect and misleading statement about the non-existent showers.
The owners are very friendly people and leave you alone during your stay. They were not seen by us at all until I went to them in order to pay. We enjoyed our three-day secluded and quiet stay and would certainly return if in the area.
Friendly and good facilities
Severn House Farm
We had a lovely pitch on the river bank, 20 metres from the well looked after toilets and showers. John the owner was personable and even gave us a lift to Powis Castle! No hesitation in recommending this site.
Another peaceful stay
Severn House Farm
Just had another lovely 5 nights at Severn House Farm. Our first outing since Covid but third visit here.
Had the place to ourselves which was nice for us and would like to say don't come so we can have it that
way again. But do visit, it is an ideal place for cycling and walking or just sitting in a field and relaxing.

CL with open aspect
Severn House Farm
We like a CL with an open aspect and Severn House Farm delivered with big skies and sunsets.
Last half mile is the service road for the farm so you would be unlucky to meet anything. In our 5 night stay we met nothing and the site is very quiet and peaceful.
Recommend a visit to the monument at North Nibley for stunning views of the Severn Estuary. Frampton on Severn is also worth a visit. The nearest pub is in Ham but was closed due to Covid.
From the CL you can easily join and walk the Severn Way which runs along the estuary with plenty of bird activity at low tide.
The nearby village of Berkeley has local shops and services.
There is even a local Mole Valley country store nearby to top up/replenish gas.
Wonderfully peaceful location
Severn House Farm
Fabulous location for cycling, walking and numerous local attractions. So many Berkeley vale villages accessible by cycle from this site both North and South. Close to M5 for access. Owners very friendly and helpful. A site to revisit again.
