Situated right on the edge of an elegant spa town, Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite is located within the 'Best Mate' arena and viewing area of Cheltenham Racecourse, directly opposite the main grandstand and at the finish line of the racecourse. With a high percentage of hardstand pitches, whilst on slightly sloping tarmac, you are offered mesmerizing views of the racecourse itself as well as Cleeve Hill, providing a very good chance of securing a hardstanding pitch giving you more opportunity to tour even during inclement weather! Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite is the perfect base from which to explore the delights of the area. The town of Cheltenham is just one and a half miles from the campsite through a nearby park, or you can use the convenient regular transport service provided by the Park and Ride. The site is also well placed for visiting the City of Gloucester with its Cathedral and other historic buildings.
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite puts a wealth of fun activities within easy reach. With its tree-lined promenade and colonnaded buildings, the Regency Spa town is an absolute pleasure for the pedestrian. Regent Arcade provides a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants and you will want to take in the sight of the delightful Wishing Fish Clock. The Everyman Theatre is available for those wanting to experience a little culture as well as enjoying the scenic views of its well maintained gardens. Why not experience the thrill of the races? Famed for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, held every year in March, the racecourse has fixtures throughout the year. All in all, the campsite offers enough memorable attractions to keep visitors returning time and again.
