Well Kept Site
Bourton-on-the-Water Club Campsite
It's been many years since we visited this site and on this occasion we were only booked in for one night. There is no denying that the site is beautifully kept but it was running at full capacity during our stay and for us, it felt very hemmed in. There are a variety of pitches - hard-standing, grass, non awning but many vary in size and have length limits on them e.g. 7m, 7.2m. When the site is busy, smaller outfits are put on the smaller pitches leaving the larger pitches for longer outfits. I understand why they do this but I expect it creates some 'interesting' discussions with the site managers. There is very limited walking from the site - a permissive path gives access to a bridleway but after that, you need to take your chances along the main road (not recommended). There are no facilities and no play area so it may not be attractive to families - that would be their decision. I would visit again but when it the site is quieter - just my opinion.
Peaceful easy to access site
Bourton-on-the-Water Club Campsite
This site is easy to access off main roads rather than down lanes. The automatic check in system makes it quick and easy to get on site and pitch up. The wardens are very welcoming, friendly and helpful, even for people who struggle reversing their caravan, helping guide me onto the pitch between the marker posts. Site doesn’t have toilet block but with a needy dog that wasn’t an issue for me. Pitches are a good size and some are in full sun and others have shade. I found everyone very friendly but campsite was very quiet, no late noise of an evening and quiet to sleep in in the morning. Dog walk is on site but only small, but provides access to bridle path with long walks. Dog bins are situated at each end of the walk, shame some people didn’t use them. Info shed on site has selection of books and guides to local area including the hail to stop bus route opposite the campsite entrance. We had a fabulous weekend at the end of June 2024 and will be back later in the year.
Great Site
Bourton-on-the-Water Club Campsite
Visited this site for 7 nights from 17/6/24. Very easy to find and very handy for the M5.
We had booked a hardstanding pitch with awning. The pitch was a good size.
The site is very well kept and the managers very friendly.
The is a good dog walk on site but you can walk through a field to a bridleway and walk for quite a while.
This site is well kept but disappointed with pitch
Bourton-on-the-Water Club CampsiteThis site is very well kept and the staff running it are fine. It is just their policy of where you have to pitch your van; you are not allowed to select your pitch. If you have a small van 6.5 meters or less you are allocated a pitch and we were under trees, and there was a bank at the back. I couldn't get round my van at the back otherwise the tow ball would be in the road. They save the larger sunnier pitches for the larger vans and that area has the most sun but where we were pitched after 3.30pm in the afternoon there was no sun at all. It is a small site but members shouldn't be penalised just because they consider you have a small van. All the grass pitches with hook-up are the same price.
Comment from the Club:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We want to assure you that we do not have a policy of reserving the more desirable pitches for longer units. Our aim is to provide all members with a pleasant and enjoyable experience at our campsites. Most of the time, members are free to choose their pitch regardless of the size of their unit. However, during extremely busy periods on this Club Campsite, such as Bank Holiday weekends, the site staff sometimes need to allocate pitches more precisely to ensure they can accommodate everyone. Given that there are 10 grass pitches that are 7 meters or under, they do need to place smaller vans on these pitches when operating at full capacity.
We hope this clarifies our process and we look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay soon.
