Hi Everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a campsite near Cheltenham Racecourse for the Festival in March (11th March - 14th March 2009).

Ideally we would prefer to camp, but we don't mind staying in a static caravan.  During the festival local hotels charge £140 per night, which is a bit out of our price range!

Has anyone stayed here during the festival?

There will probably be about 5 or 6 of us, with our ages between 24 and 35.Any information would be greatly appreciated,

Many Thanks,

Paul

  yes excellent site we use it late november when we xmas shop in cheltenham it has good reviews on uk camp site.

Thanks a lot of the response Ian and Jean.

I have just rang the site and they said it will probably be too wet in March so they won't be opening the camping field.

Thanks anyway!

I live near Cheltenham and Briarfields is I think the only one within 4 miles of the racecourse. It is just off  the M5,Junction 11, signposted Cheltenham and easy to get to. If you didn't want to drive to the races you can get a bus near to the site into Cheltenham (about a mile and a half) and then get a regular bus out to Prestbury.   I think there are special buses running from the town centre but not being a racegoer I am not certain of that.  It is not a huge site so I would book quickly if you decide on that one

Hope you get a winner

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

The Briarfields motel rooms are abit too expensive for me, because a double is £189 per night, and minimum 4 night stay - and we were only looking to stay 2.

Really appreciate the feedback, but it looks like it will have to be the travelodge in Cheltenham at £140 per night - and they have not got many rooms left.
