Hidden gem CL for any purpose and ideally located close to M5
We have visited this lovely CL on several occasions - mainly as an overnight stop en route to the West Country but also for a "Family Rally" of several days.
What we enjoy about this CL is its close proximity to the M5 motorway and other road networks.
Access is via a wide entrance from a relatively busy road - no issues at all with our Swift Conqueror twin axle caravan.
Upon arrival, we always receive a very friendly welcome from the Owners and/or their daughter and on several occasions for an overnight stop when the site was not busy we were even able to park overnight without having to unhitch since the site is so level !
This is a working small-holding/farm with sheep in adjacent fields that add to the feeling of "getting away from it all" ! Whilst the A4538 is quite a busy road (requiring care when leaving with a caravan), nevertheless the noise has never been an issue since to some extent this is minimised by the many trees that surround the CL.
Although the CAMC Sites Directory Handbook states that TV reception is fair, we never have any issues with reception in our caravan.
The CL has flat level pitches that provide adequate space for all to enjoy, and thankfully when the grass is cut it is collected, thus avoiding it being trampled into the caravan !
The Owners have "gone that extra mile" by the provision of quaint clean toilet facilities that adjoin a farm building and other amenities are well provided - including solar lights around the water etc points ! There are very adequate facilities for waste, including that generated by dogs etc.
Worcester is only a short distance away with several superstores that offer discounted fuel for those long journeys - we found Tesco to provide the best access/departure when fuelling with a twin axle caravan (Sainsburys had to open up a special barrier to allow us to leave the forecourt) !
We have never encountered any issues with the electricity supply.
The site is always found to be well maintained.
In conclusion, we believe that value for money this CL at Woodlands Farm is a real gem and is highly recommended (but do not tell too many others for fear we have difficulty next time we need to book lol!) - in comparison to the relatively nearby 2018 CL of the Year (Avonbank Meadow) which we visited only to find that it is NOT actually situated adjacent to the River Avon as portrayed in photographs which actually show a commercial site alongside the river), we would stay at Woodlands Farm every time without any hesitation - far more tidier and appealing ! Looking forward to our next visit !
