 Good location for visiting Warwick, but site felt quite regimented and even though our motorhome was less than 7m we still struggled to fit onto the pitch we were allocated without overhanging the road.

We chose this site because we wanted to use a free site voucher but when we tried to pay with it we were very rudely told that being a racecourse site they don't accept them and that we should have already (somehow!) known this (it wasn't mentioned on the voucher itself).

The site facilities would have been ok for a site about half the price, but were not up to par considering the price we paid.

 This is a nice little site on the outskirts of Warwick with easy access from the M40 (follow Club route instructions in site book). Shower block although small and a bit dated is kept very clean. There are hardstanding (gravel or tarmac) non-awning pitches or grass pitches if you want to put up an awning. Wardens were very nice and polite and keep the site looking good.

For Motorhome owners we should mention that the waste emptying point was not easy to access and could do with re-designing but this is not the first time or probably the last that we will come across this on campsites. We do wish campsites would give a bit of thought to the users.

You can walk into the centre of Warwick in less than 10 mins where there are numerous pubs, restaurants, shops, tea rooms and bars but unlike most places these days a lot of them are independent and not part of a chain. We had an excellent evening meal in the Tilted Wig Pub (it is not called the Twisted Wig as a reviewer below has stated) however we would recommend booking if you want to eat inside. There is also a large outdoor area in front of the pub as it is on the square which would be very nice in summer I expect.

We visited Warwick Castle which was very good but a warning to those of you who are not easily parted with your cash – it is expensive! but if you have kids or grandkids it is a must. The Club however had two-for-one vouchers in the Information Room so this will help. We also visited the Canal Trust and walked all around the Town. There are also gardens to visit but we ran out of time.

We would highly recommend this site and would definitely visit again.

 Our second visit here for an overnight on our way north. Very convenient as less than 2 miles from M40. A 10 min stroll takes you into the heart of Warwick with an abundance of eateries and pubs plus of course the castle. You can walk from the site to the canal (we didn't have time to do this ourselves) and the walk around the racecourse itself is a nice stroll. Facilities are smaller and more dated than at some CC sites but as always were spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water. The wardens here provide a very warm welcome, one of the friendliest we have had on the network. All in all highly recommended.

 The site is a gem. Its actually on the racecourse and just a short walk to town. Loads of eating places, we went to Chopstix and Giovsnni's both excellent food. Walking distance to the castle which was well worth a visit. Leamington Spa just a short drive away is also worth a visit. National Trust sites within a few miles.

Site is not very big and the washrooms small but up to the usual caravan club standard.

Would definitely go again.

 We spent 2 nights there as it was convenient for a visit to the NEC motorhome show.

On arrival I was told that we had booked a grass pitch. This was unknown to me and I've never fully understood the Caravan Club differentiation between pitches with or without awning. I'd booked the last available pitch which was one with an awning (even though we don't use one) and all became clear as the grass pitches could take an awning and the tarmac pitches couldn't!

Yes, that's right the non-awning pitches are on tarmac, which I believe is used as a car park when races are held. Obvious now.

Anyway, the 'van ahead moved on to a corner pitch and we set up alongside. We'd already connected up and were having lunch whilst the other folk were still manoeuvring their motorhome back and to. In the end they moved elsewhere and another motorhome moved on to the corner pitch. Some time later, they too moved off and it transpired that the pitch was very boggy and they kept sinking.

So be warned where you set up.

Anyway, the new wardens were very friendly and chatty and the facilities were fine.

We visited the Mill gardens, which were a delight and ate in ASK, where the food and atmosphere was rather disappointing.

I think it's a good site, location wise, if you're visiting for something specific, it's just not one of the CC's most glamorous sites, but it is excellent value.

 A warm welcome from the Wardens. Clean Facilities. Good Location. Excellent dog walking area.

We visited Warwick Castle, it is best avoided during the school holidays. It is a pity Merlin do not look after the artefacts as well as the National Trust do.

Lord Leycester Hospital, is worth a visit and much information can be provided by the lovely gentlemen who are on the reception desk and live there. Be aware it may be closed some afternoons and evenings due to private hire.

 Just spent 3 days at this site. It was very unusual being next to a racecourse! But there are only about 21 race days a year so never saw any races. The site was immaculate and the staff very friendly and helpful. We like to do a bit of easy cycling on the flat and the wardens have directions already printed out for the cycle ride to Hatton locks. It was so easy to get to. I think it was about 2 miles to the canal and maybe another 2 miles along the many locks. We had lunch in a nice café there by the canal. It was also easy to cycle around Warwick. Warwick is lovely. It is so compact and easy to walk around and see everything. We visited the Mill Street open garden which was idyllic and had a great view of the castle and I also visited the Hill Close gardens which are just outside the entrance to the site. We didn’t go inside the castle this time. I thought you could walk around the grounds for free but you have to pay - but it is a stupendous castle! St Nicholas Park is lovely and has everything that you would need –lots of amusement for children there –and again it is within easy walking distance from the site. We hired a motor boat on the river. We enjoyed having a drink in the Market Square. When the sun was shining we preferred to sit outside Wetherspoons or the Twisted Wig as Rose and Crown was in the shade but we did go there one evening. We ate at Spice Hut in Market Place –it was ok but not very spicy. We went to Micatto restaurant in the Market Place –nice food if you don’t mind being ripped off! Next time we go we will try the many restaurants on Smith Street. We went to the New Bowling Green pub on St Nicholas Street as that had a nice beer garden at the back.

 Good place to stay. When there a races a very nice plat to stay. Good price good value. Watwick is also a good place te walk around and to do the shopping. A lovely castle. Good management (Harwich people) saw later in Harwich on the beach site. We will return.

Reviewer: Pippah45 3 reviews from this member

 This is one of the first sites I took the children to about 38 years ago and it was great to return! Easily found if you follow the CC directions. Everything as it should be - and lovely wardens who went the extra mile for me in a crisis. Great site to walk dogs off straight onto the area round the racecourse. Walking distance to the town centre - and all its attractions including the castle which I think is one of the best I have visited. Something for everyone here I would say.

Reviewer: Elizahigham 23 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site twice, both times as stop-overs. We found it perfect for this purpose. One nighters are all accommodated on a large tarmacked area next to the race course, which is fine. Fabulous toilet and shower block, perfectly clean. Lashings of hot water. Staff very friendly and helpful. The site is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Warwick, which is well worth a visit. Will definitely use this site again.
