  1. Newland Meadows Caravan and Camping Site

If you’re travelling between the end of March and the end of October, the Newland Meadows Caravan and Camping Site is a great choice for camping near the Malvern Hills. As the name suggests this is a field-based site but there are a number of hard-standing pitches available too. This is a modestly sized, family-run campsite with good facilities including two bathrooms with showers and one solo shower cubicle, multiple electric hookups, chemical disposal points and sheltered wash basins. Newland Meadows is well-situated with several shops and takeaways nearby as well as The Swan, a dog-friendly pub selling good food and local ale. 

If you feel like a climb or a drive to a great view, take the short journey to Worcestershire Beacon, the highest point in the county at 1,394 feet (425 m). On a clear day, you can see the Black Mountains in South Wales and the rolling Shropshire Hills in the northwest.
