A popular caravan site in Warwickshire, The Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite is set on a grass and tarmac enclosure within the grounds of the racecourse itself and is a mere 15 minute walk from the town centre of Warwick. Conveniently located a mile away from the M40 motorway, the caravan park gives you easy access to a large variety of fun activities, from lovely walks and a 9-hole golf course to a driving range with an area for flying model aircraft and gliders. You can also enjoy a lovely walk along the Grand Union Canal at picturesque Hatton Locks and perhaps stop for refreshments at the Hatton Lock Café.
Adjacent to the Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite you will find the historic Hill Close Victorian Gardens (admittance charge), which act as a gateway to the town centre. The award-winning Warwick Castle is also within easy reach of the caravan site and is a must-see as it's reputed to be the finest medieval castle in England. Another place in the area that is well worth the visit is pretty Stratford-upon-Avon - here you can walk the superb Heritage Trail, take the fascinating Shakespeare Story Tour Bus and visit the world famous theatre. You might also like to visit Birmingham or Leamington Spa, accessible by train, which offer a great mix of both high street and boutique shops.
Please note, site night vouchers are not accepted as the Club manages this site on behalf of the owners'.

Dog Heaven
Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite
Great walks just outside the site. Parkrunners staying on site for the Saturday morning run. Helpful and sociable wardens and all seemed clean and well cared for. Poodles will be back.
Excellent site
Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite
Only stayed for two nights 24/6/24, excellent site and extremely clean. Wardens very helpful and friendly. Close to town with lots to see but only two days so will have to go back. Main reason for choosing this site was to have a hab service carried out on our motorhome at spinner which is about 4 miles away, was so glad to have chosen this site and would loved to have spent more time there.
Stunning Location
Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite
The location of this site, managed, but not owned by the C&MH Club, is superb, with views across the racecourse to the stands. The site is compact and the pitches reflect this. The staff were most welcoming and recommended three suitable pitches, which was more than we expected arriving after 4pm.
With the town and racecourse nearby it was very busy in the area round the site. Lots of people walking, walking dogs early in the morning and late in the evening, running, cycling, a very well attended Park Run on Saturday morning, late night party/disco at the Racecourse Hospitality Suite, there is a lot going on here.
Other reviews have commented on the lack of TV and mobile signal/wifi. We had all of these and our van only has a standard TV ariel on the roof and our phones are also quite basic.
A good town site with quick access to anything you need!
Its only one night
Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite
Ok so relatively new to motor-homing and we have been on a selection of CAMC and independent sites so far and its on this that I am basing my review.
On arrival, we were allocated a pitch. The only CAMC site this has been the case so far. The pitch was fine with a nice grassy awning area, although the weather did not warrant using it on this occasion. As we were using this site as a stopover to break up a longer journey we just needed the essentials...There was no TV reception or site WiFi. Why not? Not even any site TV sockets on the electric hookup posts as we have had elsewhere. Luckily I had decent signal on my phone so used this to stream some TV. The amenities block definitely is in need of some refurbishment. The shower itself was fine and the water temp and force were above average but the tiles and walls and general fittings made me feel like I was in a third world prison block. We ventured into town only to find a quite run down and shabby feeling place so didn't stay long. In summary, given that our brief one night stopover cost over £35, I cannot see how this is justified alongside some of the superb private sites we have used at a similar or cheaper cost with free unlimited WiFi and fantastic shower and toilet facilities. This site does not compare and I feel that the price is way over what it should be. The club seems to be charging a premium for the location here and not spending the income on the site. Generally speaking, we will be avoiding this site in future.
A Great Location and Site
Warwick Racecourse Club Campsite
Warwick Racecourse is a centrally located site, close to the centre of Warwick, with access to many of the surrounding areas by public transport (the local bus station is a 10 minute walk up the road and the train station a little further away - maybe 20 mins walk away - but a very nice walk!). The team at the site are all incredibly welcoming and helpful and know lots about the local area. They are very helpful and supportive of all customers. A pleasure to meet them.
Some reviews have complained about the race events - but it’s easy to find out about these dates - as they are already on the sites page! So just be aware that’s all. And it’s like having a free ticket to the races!
The site has great facilities - shower blocks are always clean and hot showers (with no pressing of buttons!), and the site is well maintained and looked after. I’ve stayed on grass, hard standing - both non-awning and awning. And I’ve been happy with them all. The hard standing without awning is directly facing the race track (only used during racing days!), and although it’s a large area of parking site - I still find it good for sitting out and relaxing.
TV reception is poor - so bring a book or two - or use your Firestick! Phone reception is fine - so I hotspot to my phone data.
There’s some supplies for sale in the reception - but there are many local shops nearby, including a Sainsbury’s, bakery (The Two Brother), butchers and general shops all in the centre of Warwick. Local eateries - are very close by (The Four Penny Pub is great and food is excellent- lovely garden area too). Of course the castle is nearby - which is worth at least 1 visit in a lifetime! (It’s all we can afford! 🤣). There’s also local gardens and cafes to visit and a walk around St Nicholas’s park is nice - even if it can get busy on a sunny day (there’s a cafe). Plus Stratford upon Avon and Leamington Spa are a bus ride away.
This is my ‘go to’ site on my trips up and down England and love being there.
