Reviewer: MegsGang 5 reviews from this member

 Perfect for what we wanted - one night's stay, near to Stratford upon Avon. Only a mile to walk to town centre from campsite. Toilets/showers immaculately clean. Lots of space. And great for dog walking. And very helpful site management couple. Thank you. 
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.

 Very large featureless site on the racecourse. In my opinion a bit bleak but may be better in the summer. Very clean toilet and shower block but when I tried to have a shower I inserted my 50p and nothing happened. There were no instructions so I have no idea whether or not I did something wrong. This needs rectifying. Our reason for staying was to go to the theatre in town which is a good 40 minute walk away. We would have liked somewhere a bit closer. Overall impression of the site - it'll do. That's about the best I can say. The showers should be free at this price. Too steep for what was on offer. 
Management response: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we are sorry the park did not meet with your satisfaction.

Reviewer: Elaine-n-Trev 34 reviews from this member

 We stayed two nights and at £15 a night we thought this was excellent value. Just to set the scene, this is a race course and the campsite is an addition, so in that respect, we felt that it did what it said on the tin. Electricity, water, grass cut and pitches with sufficient space - shown by the campsite people. The toilets were clean - there was always toilet paper and hand towels. It ain't the Ritz - but for £15 a night I think this was excellent value for money - a lovely walk into Stratford upon Avon, plenty of room to let the dog for a walk.

We had ACSI and this gave us a discount - we were pleased that this campsite didn't consider the two UK camping/caravan clubs as an advantaqe. We've come to the conclusion that nor do we. We're tired of bossy wardens and high costs. The friendly welcome we got from the people at the Stratford Racecourse campsite was brilliant.

 In the summer holidays we always try to get out at weekends camping to different places.

This site comes very low on our list of good campsites. Reasons.

In the gents toilet area, there was no soap for the 2 nights we stayed, bins in the wc area were overflowing and toilets weren't the cleanest.

Site was a bit dull & boring with no real views

After the music festival ended at 11pm Saturday night, we had drunk people walking through the site shouting loudly and one even came over to our awning and started shaking it.

I wouldn't go again.

Reviewer: Mick Riddle 1 review from this member

 Nice Quiet site in lovely surroundings.

The wardens very friendly & helpful

Toilet facilities clean--50pence for a shower.

Ran out of hand towel in gents & not replaced for 2 days although an air dryer available.

Bit of a distance to carry the waste water to elsan point from caravan. Fresh water near to caravans.

Plenty of bins around although not emptied & very soon overflowing.

Stratford a twenty minute walk by road but half that by cutting through the back of the racecourse.

Two pubs short walk from site.

The one near Anne Hathaway, s cottage very nice & good meals although not cheap.

All in all we enjoyed our trip & would go again

 Excellent value site lovely day at the races which was covered by the site fee ( we upgraded but you don't have to) the showers were very clean and hot. Lovely walk into Stratford through the race course in Stratford lovely shops and eateries there was a boat race and market on when we were there. We would definitely visit this site again.

 My partner and myself stayed on this campsite for a week in August. This was our first visit to Stratford, but will not be our last. On arrival we were welcomed by the wardens, and provided with information regarding the site and a useful map detailing a riverside walk into Stratford from the site (about 25 mins). We were then escorted to our pitch, where the warden helped me pitch. The pitches themselves are very large, most with EHU and flat, this provides good access. Looking at previous reviews there seemed to be grass mowing issues, in this case the grass was very low and overall the park looked very good.

The facilities are a bit basic but always kept clean, and well stocked with loo paper, soap etc.

On the restaurant front there are plenty in the town, however just outside the campsite there is 'Chutneys', the best Indian take away or sit down ever! A short drive away we went to The Four Alls, the food there is of the highest quality and at a good price. This is truly a hidden gem of a campsite, and in a great location, we will return!

Reviewer: Bill the Bus 16 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for last 2 weeks in June and overall very disappointed. Did not get off to the best start when our allocated pitch had not been mown, not good when we stopping for 14 nights, and around a 10 min walk each way from all facilities except clean water fill up, almost a half mile round trip. CDP is open and in full view, many people camped close around it, grey water could only be emptied here. Showers were 50p slot but did not use as they are very basic and toilets and showers were never very clean. One other strange thing was there were no urinals in the gents

Everything quiet until first friday and after 2 weekends of festivals at Uttoxeter there was another one here, yet again loud music until the early hours on both nights, I had checked the racecourse and caravan web sights and nothing was listed. Checked with the racecourse if anything planned for 2nd weekend, if so we would leave early, all I got was a rather curt letter back 4 days later saying not but if I wanted to leave early take it up with wardens. The wardens by the way were very friendly and helpful.

The location of the site is fantastic, 20 mins walk along a path and your in Stratford, riverside walks also but a little longer. Very busy with tourists so we stayed riverside. Was there while the boat festival was on and it was very enjoyable though very busy. Lots of paths and trails close by. If your a racing enthusiast then this site is for you. The horses arrive through the site, the stables are very close and easily viewable and the horses walk through part of the site pre and post race.

All this and £17 a night during mid season. Come on Stratford this site could be so much better and I guess the fact that there never more than a few units on at any time was indicative of facilities. Not one we will be back to which is a great shame.

 Stayed over at the site for a couple of nights as the food festival was on. Friendly greeting and our level hardstanding pitch was close to the reception. The fresh water tap was very handy so we did not have to move to fill the tank. As mentioned the toilet and showers where a distance but this was not an issue. The site was busy so the facilities were well used, but non the less clean and everything worked as it should have done. It was nice to see the heating was on as it was a bit chilly one morning.

Good location for a walk into the town, but on the day there was a shuttle bus running so even better.

A great 2 days and will return

Reviewer: Perko1680 1 review from this member

 I've been camping all my life but this is my first review on a site!

We stayed for 2 nights at the site. I initially phoned in advance to book a pitch and spoke to the lady who said that the site was fully booked. A shout from the man in the background then changed things and spaces were available (a comment previously mentioned by a visitor to the site).

Upon arrival I got checked in and bought my shower tokens. I only realised later that I'd been short changed! We were directed to our pitch and it was dry and level, just right for our requirements.

On the Sunday morning it was Family Day at the racecourse, not a problem because the grounds a large and have adequate parking. What was a surprise was the number of people filing between the caravans towards the race stands from the public carpark. Had I been one of the caravans next to the route taken by the race goers, I wouldn't have been happy.

The shower block and toilets are a long way from where the caravans and campers are located. When I stayed, as with a previous comment, French travel students were staying. The toilets were busy and hard to keep clean I expect. The students tidied up VERY well after themselves and their area was spotless. Well done them!

The cleaning of the shower blocks was done between 11 and 12pm. Both male and female blocks at the same time. I visited at 10:55am (a little close to cleaning time admittedly) and was told that both blocks were closed. I asked where the other toilet block was 'there isn't one' said the lady. I asked to use the toilet in that case. 'No' was the answer! Hummmm! Very curt and not very helpful I thought. (I do appreciate that they must get interrupted lots while cleaning but if there's only one block available then facilities should be open for use. Very frustrating!

Apart from those two issues I think that the site is great for kids to play at, a large open area in front of the caravans means that parents can sit back and let then run round while they have a drink!
