We are thinking of going here in April, we have always wanted to visit the castle. but having read the site reviews we are having second thoughts.

We have never found a Caravan Club that was less than great, but the few reviews on this site sound disappointed.

Anyone want to add any comments?

Anyone else had bother with the staff at Warwick Races?

What sort of things have been a problem?? We live in leamington, its the only campsite right in the heart of Warwick, fantastic acces to the town & castle!

The site is literally in the middle of the racecourse!

The reviews on the camp site search page don't exactly sound enthusiastic.

But i'd love it if people have good things to say.

as you say it does seem ideal for visiting the castle.

Just had a quick read ..... obviously living in the next town we haven't stayed there but we have a had a look round the site while we've been at the races ! Its very small but seems flat enough & the loo block is good!

It is a very small site & the access is a little bumpy (literally over the racecourse!) but if you think you can put up with some stroppy staff I would go for it! It might be worth checking you aren't coming on a weekend with a race meet as you will have a lot of racegoers looking at you! lol Unless you like a flutter & then you're in prime position!

For the practicality of where the site is, you can walk to the castle & town centre in 5 mins! Its also just 10 mins off the M40 so access is simple enough.

Hope you decide to come to this part of the country its lovely, the castle is very impressive( if a little pricey to get in!) Theres some lovely gardens in Warwick & Leamington. Hope you have a fab time!

Thanks,

I can handle stroppy staff, and we will give it a go.

We've wanted to head that way for ages.

We went recently and had no problems or concern at all.  Staff fine, usual CC facilities and easy walk into Warwick.

There are few racecourse sites that equal the usual CC standards in my opinion. Ground conditions can be a bit hit and miss and there can be large areas of tarmac so you have to adjust to that style of camping. Often the toilet blocks can be past their best. However they are usually very handy for the local town and it can be good fun if there is racing on when you are there. Providing you don't go thinking you will be getting Chatsworth Park I am sure you will find it fine.
