 We used Tewkesbury CC site as a one night stop-over on our way to north Wales. We have been many times before and have always found it a pleasant site. Easy access off the M5 (past a large Morrisons, handy for supplies and fuel).
Nice, friendly wardens and easy booking in. Some of their pitches were still fenced off following the very wet winter. We were allocated a pitch (in fact we had a choice of two) this time as some were still very soft and we have a large unit. This was not a problem.
3 toilet/shower blocks on site, all a bit dated but spotlessly clean and accessible only with a key. Plenty of water points and dustbins too.
Short walk from the site to the abbey, river and town and lovely it all is too. Plenty of places to eat and drink in Tewkesbury. We chose to eat in the Wetherspoons 'hotel' just outside the site that evening and returned for their breakfast the next morning before heading north.

Site is easy to get to and despite some comments we did not find access a problem. Toilet blocks were clean and warm but perhaps not quite up to usual Caravan Club standard. The site seemed a little impersonal and cramped and the layout means that you have to walk through others pitches to get to loos, etc.
Great location though as only a short walk to town shops and restaurants and the Abbey. We were concerned about the Abbey bells as we are very light sleepers but they did not disturb us at all. In fact, nothing disturbed our sleep.
We can thoroughly recommend The Bay Tree restaurant opposite the entrance to Gander Lane. It was so good when we ate there the first night that we went back and ate there the second night too. They give people staying at the site a 10% discount too which was nice. Probably wouldn't go back to the site as we tend to park our van and explore on foot/bike and Tewkesbury didn't have a great deal to offer. Nice for a couple of nights though.

152 pitch site set just next to Tewksbury Abbey and only five minutes’ walk from town centre and rivers. Location is ideal for stop over from M5 being only 5 minutes from junction 9 and great base for exploring the area.
Whilst the site perimeter is edged with trees, the central pitches are open without hedges and feel like a large grassed car park, although large grass pitches (no hardstanding which maybe a problem in wet weather). The three toilet blocks are dated by Caravan Club standards.
Friendly and very helpful wardens have provided a great floral display at reception, truly lovely.
The Abbey dominates the area and site and bells ring every quarter of an hour. Ear plugs are recommended if you are a light sleeper.

To Find Site:- Leave M5 at junction 9 and take A438 towards Tewkesbury. In town centre at roundabout take first exit. In a couple of hundred metres turn left into Gander lane. This lane narrows on the approach where it crosses a stream so care is required with cars exiting the car parks. The entrance to the site is just past the car park on the left.
This site is situated in a semi urban environment next to Tewkesbury Abbey and a short walk into the town. The wardens make great efforts to create a floral welcome to the site with reception decked with flowers. Tents and non-members are welcome at this site. There are around 140 pitches which are all on grass. Whilst many are level some will require a little levelling. Electric points are convenient to all pitches and are rated at 16 amps using CEE17 blue connectors. There are three toilet blocks which, due to the risk of flooding, are all raised above normal site level. However all but one of them has ramp access for the disabled. The blocks are functional and clean rather than being luxurious. The motorhome service point is at the front of the site. Reception sells a few essentials and newspapers can be ordered. Next door is a small information room. There is site wide WiFi, time can be purchased online. I have to say I found it quite slow even on fairly basic tasks. Whilst there are no play facilities on site for children there is a large adventure playground immediately outside the site entrance in the adjacent park.
The Abbey is only a short walk from the site and the town a little further. There are lots of restaurants and tea rooms and the town provides a good selection of shops. There is a Morrisons on the approach to the town from the motorway. The site is ideally situated to visit the Severn and Avon valleys. For many it will be a convenient overnight stop to and from the West Country being so close to the M5.

Stayed for one night as a half way stop over.
The site is easily accessible from the M5 and is a 2 min walk from the town centre where there are multiple pubs(some dog friendly)/shops/restaurants etc. The pitches are all grass but seemed well spaced out we didn't use the facilities as we have them on-board so cannot comment.
There is no dog walk /play area on site although there is an adjacent park opposite.
The staff were friendly and welcoming.
Overall a very pleasant site, we will definitely return

Toilets - super clean, although at least two loos had loose seats. No one likes a wobble. I thought there were too few toilets in the gents, can't comment on the ladies. Plenty of hot water.
Pitch - the 5 tent pitches are under a bunch of tall trees on muddy ground. They can't put caravans there as there is another row in front preventing access. So if you're in a tent, expect mud, bird poo on your tent, and a lack of sunlight.
Staff - we were told-off about having an extra car on the site, which was absolutely a fair cop gov, but there's a way to go about these things and they haven't a clue how to deal with people. Completely got people's backs up.
Noise - To quote Quosimodo, 'the bells, the bells'. It is very close to the Abbey and the bells ring quarter-hourly come rain or shine. There was also some late night noise from the adjoining park / cricket pitch / car park.
Location - perfect! 2 minutes from the centre of picturesque Tewkesbury.
Washing up - enough sinks.
Parking - 1 car per pitch, everything else has to go on to the pay and display next door. We were nervous about this, it's not exactly an affluent area and the public car park didn't feel particularly safe.
Summary - I think this is a great site for caravaners, and an average site for tent campers.

What an excellent site!
The site is very well maintained and run by friendly staff. Some may disagree with this as they are also strict about where you can and can't pitch but for us that is fine.
Tewkesbury is on the door step as is the the park and dog walking area. Dogs can be let off the lead almost outside the gate and love romping around the park area.
There is lots to see and do with many towns and beautiful villages surrounding Tewkesbury which in itself is great.
We didn't eat out but did walk to the chippy one night. The portions are enormous. A large chips will feed 4.
It is a busy site as many folk just use it to overnight on-route but it never once bothered us in our week on site.
Highly recommended.

Come to this site often as its central for sightseeing and shopping and good transport links. I read previous comments re wardens didn't have a problem in fact they were very helpful. Agree re toilet block it could do with make over can't speak for ladies but gents loo's not well maintained but then wardens are not there to flush loos after people every day was greeted by unflushed pan wonder if they do this at home. They have been rather drastic with the pruning of trees don't like the exposed views from the flats some late night noise from that area but otherwise peaceful site. One other gripe on some pitches people pass very close to your outfit when short cutting to loos or exit even when your sat outside eating etc.

Just had an enjoyable 5 nights at this lovely site. The welcome we received was very friendly, although there were comments that some of the staff were very rude. We'd originally booked 3 nights and decided to extend it on arrival, but the 5th night wasn't available. Luckily, they had a cancellation late on the Friday afternoon, so we were slotted in.
This is the first Caravan Club site we've been on with only grass pitches and were wary of getting bogged down. However, despite some rainy nights, none of the many motorhomes had any trouble on leaving.
Despite some comments on here about it being crammed in, we had lots of space around our pitch.
Possibly too much, as a couple of the caravan owners used our space as a short cut for their car access and kept driving over our hook-up lead. (Isn't this classed as a lack of courtesy?)
The facilities were up to usual Caravan Club standards and the location for the town is excellent.
We can heartily recommend the Nottingham Arms for evening meals, as we ate there on our last 3 nights. The quiz night we got roped into on the Thursday was good fun, but be warned. You won't get back to the site until after 10:30 p. M. And if you've forgotten your gate key, you'll be sleeping under the stars in the nearby playground!
The area is really good for cycling, as there are segregated cycle tracks leaving the busier parts of town, before emerging onto quiet country lanes and quaint villages (and moderately flat too!).
We did find it a bit expensive at £22+ as it was still classed as peak season the week following Easter.

We've used this site as a stop-off on our way down to the West Country, this was the first time we've stayed more than one night. The reception block has a fantastic display of hanging baskets which must surely have won awards. The reception block itself is on stilts, due to the threat of flooding, just google 'Tewkesbury floods' to see for yourself. The site is really close to the town centre, so some noise can be expected, particularly on pitches around the edges. On the other hand, on a summers evening, it's great to sit outside and listen to the sound of the Abbey bells and the gentle thwock of leather on willow from the adjacent cricket club.
Tewkesbury is an old market town with lots of interesting buildings, shops, restaurants and pubs. There are boat trips as well, which we haven't yet done, but plan to visit for a longer stay next year.
I have only 2 small gripes about this site which stops it getting full marks, the site itself doesn't have a dedicated play area for the kids. There is one very close, but it is outside the fences as it were and open to the public, to my mind it doesn't feel quite as safe and secure. And, the pitches do seem crammed in just a bit too much, we were shoe horned into a corner on a pitch that was supposed to take an awning, but there was no way we could get it up (ohhhh matron!).
