excellent site for Barbel fishing is Lucksall caravan park , near Hereford , site is adjacent to the river Wye , but I am afraid its about a 15 min drive into Hereford town centre , I have caught Barbel to 13lb and Chub to 7 lb from there

You could try Lickhill
I've heard of barbel being caught there, but never caught any myself - I am only a casual angler though, so it might be I'm not good enough

Try Trippenkennett farm, near Ross on wye, Herefordshire. They have 2 well stocked pools with some very large fish !
Campsite is 20 minutes from ROss on wye or 30 mins to Monmouth, on the bus

Stourport is just about a pleasant 20 minute walk along the riverbank from Lickhill, although I cheat and use my bike

We stayed in Stourport last year, although not camping, but found it a perfect base area for all sorts of activities including fishing for barbel on the Severn, though the warks avon and other rivers are close.
Get a BAA ticket and loads and loads of options are available.
Maver Larford is nearby, the river produces barbel here.

Got midlands safari park, Cadbury factory, stourport fun-fair nearby.

the old swan/wingfield arms caravan/camping site at Montford Bridge nr Shrewsbury, about a mile of the severn on site, pulled loads of barbel out most seem to be 7/8 pounders but have had a few low doubles out of there over the years, couple miles away from Shrewsbury
