 Loved the location, friendliness of staff and easy access into Stratford upon on Avon via a footpath at far end of racecourse via a gate by some Old railway carriages. This should be signposted by the campsite so that campers are aware.
Lovely safe walk into Stratford via the river. Take a good torch at night time.
Unable to really comment on all facilities due to Cv19 but those available spot on.
Take away curry from Usha, which was delivered fast and hot was one of the best I've ever had.

Great welcome and very friendly and helpful.
Have not been here for a few years but much improved,
I would highly recommend, and the blackberries were abundant, free and very tasty, a bonus.

Grass area with most having Hook-up. Free WiFi. Refurbished shower facilities. Short walk along old railway line into town (15 mins. ) pet friendly.
Wardens (Darren & Sheri) very helpful in all aspects of camping. Have been here several times and enjoyed it. Weekends sometimes have racing days and campers are given free tickets to watch.
Also hot air balloons take off. Car boot on Sundays (seasonal) on adjoining field. Full of activities for all.

This is a return to a campsite that we like. Our last review here was in August 2015. We have been back a few times since then.
It's the same site, same people, same quality. The only change is that the ladies' loo is around the back of the racecourse building which means I have to walk a few more paces - boo hoo.
It does everything that is offered and more for example there is now free WIFI which serves our purposes.
The wardens are a delight and always willing to help. What more could you want?

Been here twice before and to be honest always had a reasonable stay however unfortunately not this time. Ok the park is flat, large and cheap at £18 a night all in, it's within easy walking distance(20 mins ) of Stratford and easy cycle routes to. The Loos and Showers are reasonably clean but not really adequate if it's busy specially if there are events on and please ask about events when you want to book as otherwise it's a nice surprise as your not pre told on booking!
When we arrived we had to wait 45mins on the gravel pull up in 30 degree heat as there was no arrivals until after 1pm even though we had been before and had no issues, checking in was a little clinical and abrupt to say the least although the man who took us to our pitch was very friendly and gave us good instructions shame about the lady on reception, and after that things went down hill.
There was an event on when we were there that we weren't told of and there were cars racing around not really paying attention to the site limits so a bit risky for children playing, security also was a bit lapse as people were coming and going on site freely which was also a worry.
The site rules state that noise is strictly not permitted between 11pm and 7am for the comfort of all campers which is great however someone must have forgotten to tell the hot air balloon that started roaring at 05:30am, then we had racecourse grounds man banging in fences at 6am and the tractor cutting the track grass at 6:15am!pretty poor tbh. We didn't want to risk another early wake up so left a day early.
On our way out I called into the reception to explain that we were leaving early because of these issues, a different lady on reception was very understanding and apologetic however the lady we saw the day before was also there and never said a word or even acknowledged me, not really surprised and won't be revisiting unfortunately.

Management response: It is unfortunate to read that your stay here did not meet with your satisfaction but we would like to address a few of the issues that you mention.
1. Events are published on our website, research when booking anywhere is the key.
2. Our records show that you arrived on site at 12:28pm 32 minutes before the allocated arrival time that you would have given at the booking stage its a process we do with all guests when they book. Arrival time is displayed on our website and on the door of the office and pointed out to you at booking. The wardens are out of the office between midday and 1pm something you would have been aware of having visited us on two previous occasions.
3.I don't believe for 1 second that the lady in reception was abrupt upon your arrival. But we apologise if you felt this was the case.
4. I will pass on your comments regarding the event and subsequent traffic issues that you encountered to the relevant racecourse official.
5. The site rules state that there is to be no noise between midnight and 7am (not 11pm) on the touring park not the racecourse. We are a working racecourse and we were on your previous two occasions.
6. When you eventually decided to leave you said the lady from the day before never acknowledged you, again we can only apologise if you felt there was an issue here but she was off duty and the relief warden was dealing with your concern more than adequately.
I refer to your review of the park in July 2013 where you state 'Overall ok but wont be visiting again' and yet you have since been twice. Thank you for your somewhat perplexing review. |

The weather was kind to us as we took the tent as well. We were pitched on grass. Not too many campers as on the Sunday it was a race day. So most of the area was reserved for parking. It became full of day visitors. Anyway, the campsite was well maintained by Sherrie and Darren and with a wicked sense of humour made our stay interesting, (we had stayed before). Who can complain about the price £18 a day with EHU and the showers are now FREE, was 50p. Loo area all clean. Plenty of doggy walks and 20 minutes into Stratford town. Bus from outside on main road.
If you want a good site then give it go. Good stop off point if travelling from North to South or vice versa.
On race meetings best to book as they have priority. Car boot in next field too on some Saturdays.
As Arnie would say “We will be back”

We stayed here for two nights to check out the van after it had been serviced etc for the season ahead. We were pitched on hardstanding as grass pitches, very understandably, weren't suitable for use after the inclement weather. At £18 a night with EHU and heated washrooms, we felt that we were getting very good value for money.
The site was quiet at night and well-situated within easy walking or cycling distance to Stratford-upon-Avon. We walked into town, following the pathway across the racecourse and then joining up with the greenway cycle route, alongside the river Avon. A very pleasant walk, despite the damp, with the bonus of discovering Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare is buried - beautiful building and really very interesting.
On the second day, we took a taxi into town (£5 each way) and caught the train into Brum for a complete contrast of experiences. Regular train service and very reasonably priced. Worth thinking about for the Commonwealth Games in 4 years' time.
We intend to visit the site again, when the weather is better, and make more use of the adjacent cycleways to explore the surrounding area.
All in all, a pleasant site with more than acceptable facilities. Well worth a visit.

Spent 4 nights at this site weather was kind site wardens friendly and helpful pitches are good size all have electric hook up and water points are near by waste disposal and water
Dump for motorhomes. 190 pitches some hardstanding, around the race track and camping field. Warm shower room toilets, laundry and washing up Facilities. Small shop at reception. Nice walk into town round racetrack along river takes 20 minutes. Used Indian restaurant Cafe Chutney 400 yards from site entrance very good meal. Pub in the other direction about a mile sadly didn't make it there but heard good reports of food and beers.
There are very many things to see and do in the area both in Stratford and Warwick which is only 10 miles away and there is a bus route. However the attractions are very expensive for example to visit Warwick Castle is £32 for one adult you can improve on this if you do research and buy tickets and get offers on line unfortunately we didn't do this. We intend to
Do this on our next visit.

Been to this site 3 or 4 times. Always a nice welcome, given pitch to suit the size of unit you have. Short walk to town centre. Toilet block clean and other facilities close by. Best to book in advance, in particular when race meetings on. Wardens good at looking after you on site.

Had a weekend break on this site which we picked for its location to the town. The wardens are very friendly and efficient and we checked in, paid and pitched in minutes.
The site is sprawling as it adjoins the racecourse and was never going to cosy or picturesque. Having said that, there is plenty of well maintained grassland, trees around the edges and views to the countryside. The facilities are in the racecourse buildings and are very clean and well maintained. Showers are free and hot.
The walk to town takes 25 minutes on an old train line that meets the river and feels very rural. It starts across the racecourse, in part on grass but other options are available on tarmac.
Taking a different route back you can walk past the local pub (The Salmon Tail 3/4 mile on the flat). The pub has good beer, is dog friendly and has well reviewed food, although we didn't eat there.
Aside from the obvious Shakespeare links, Stratford is a very pleasant town with numerous excellent pubs and eateries, many of which are dog friendly.
In particular Loxleys does breakfast lunch and dinner and we also enjoyed Vintners, The Opposition Bistro, Brakspear's Town House and the Keys and Kitchen pub.
We will return to the town and the site.

Management response: Thank you for taking the time to leave your positive feedback it was pleasing to read that overall you enjoyed your stay. We certainly hope you will be back to stay with us again at some point in the future. |
