2 nights at Fox’s Furrow
So much thought and effort has gone into making the stay a unique experience. The pod decor is quirky and fun, the hot tub area private and tranquil, and the snack caravan is so cute!
Such a lovely place to stay whether in a pod of camping, would highly recommend.

We loved camping in the bell tents. The views were amazing. We loved that the sheep and donkey roam around the campsite area. The kids activities were a lovely touch and my son enjoyed taking the goat for a walk. We will be back some day!

A perfect short break with really friendly, host, other campers and well cared for animals to pet. Kids loved messy about on the river and the classic camp fire.

Dog-friendly glamping near Gloucester guide
Where to go
Cotswolds
Just east of Gloucester, the Cotswolds AONB is the postcard star of the English countryside. Think rolling green farmlands, winding country lanes, and idyllic villages built from the region’s characteristic golden stone. A road trip is the best way to explore, stopping to browse the artisan shops in Broadway or Chipping Norton, take a hike in the hills, or spend a night at a luxury glampsite.
Malvern Hills
Rural pleasures await in the Malvern Hills AONB, just north of Gloucester. Hike through wooded valleys or bluebell meadows, pitch your tent amid rolling farmlands and fruit orchards, or check into a glampsite with tipis or treehouses in the heart of the forest. Must-sees include the view from Worcestershire Beacon and the Iron Age hillfort at British Camp.
Wye Valley
Forest walks and riverside strolls draw nature lovers to the Wye Valley, a 30-minute drive west of Gloucester. Paddle along the Wye River in a canoe, hike through wildflower meadows, then enjoy lunch at a riverfront pub, accompanied by a glass of the region’s famous cider. Over the Welsh border, admire the picturesque ruins of Tintern Abbey, visit the market town of Chepstow, or hike part of the Offa's Dyke trail.
When to go
Gloucester is a year-round destination—come in the summer to enjoy water sports along the river or cosy up at a quayside pub in the winter months. Summer (June through August) is festival season and brings the biggest crowds to the city, so book accommodation in advance. Mild temperatures make spring and autumn ideal for hiking in the AONBs, and the forests are particularly photogenic in fall.
Know before you go
- Gloucester has several camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up everything you need for your camping trip.
- Gloucester has public transport links to many of the surrounding towns and AONBs, but it is handy to have your own transport, especially if staying at rural campsites.
- Wild camping is illegal throughout the UK, although there are some areas where it is possible with permission from the landowners.
