Peaceful easy to access site

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

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

This 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.

Very nice camping

First time when we are trying a camping with no showers, toilets etc. I have to admit that I booked this camping without checking very well the facilities :). But I'm not sorry for that,. because the camping is very clean, quite and in a good location. You need the care to visit Bourton on the Water, there is a bus I think but we didn't want to check the times so we used the car. Also to walk is like 5 miles and there is no walking path, and the road is quite busy, so not very safe. Definitely is a location to go there again for a weekend, if you want to relax and be in a quite place. Also to walk the dog, a lot of walking path after you are out from the camping, around the fields. Initially I thought that it's only a small path, but following the maps from camping, you have plenty of path to walk the dog.

Spoilt only by inconsiderate dog owners

Such a lovely welcome awaits visitors at this beautiful small site. The managers are so helpful, before and after arrival and during our stay. A quiet site There are no washing or toilet facilities. Which is ok but had there been a pot washing area that would be a big improvement - nothing fancy is needed. (Had there been pot washing facility I would have rated 5/5 for all sections.) The site is very clean and tidy and clearly the managers put a lot of work into the site to make it welcoming. It is within easy reach of M5 J11a on good roads, and the entrance to the site is good, single track with a passing place, hence no arrivals before 1pm. There is a large lay-by just past the campsite going towards Boughton 0TW on the right if you do arrive before 1pm. Good base for exploring the area. No shop on site, but stores within a short drive.

Great site

Lovely and quiet. Really easy checking in with number plate recognition but at same time I would miss warden contact if all sites went that way. But I did have contact with them as one came to greet me anyway. Shame it’s not nearer to Bourton on the Water as I was in a van but the car in the village has motorhome spaces which is great. Have stayed here a couple of times and will no doubt stay again. Not having a shower/toilet block doesn’t put me off. Well kept site. Lovely and clean.

An ideal site for a short stay

We spent three nights here and enjoyed the peace and quiet the site offers while also being on a direct bus route to Bourton on the Water and Cheltenham. The site has well spaced pitches but could do with more privacy hedges. There is also a well maintained dog walk with plenty of bark clippings to absorb any mud. The walk then leads to a field edge path which the site has permission to use. It was good to be able to talk to the site wardens when we arrived as well as using the fast check-in service which certainly worked well.The very friendly and efficient site wardens quickly provided our friends who were parking on grass with under wheel mats as there was a lot of rain around. It is disappointing that the site has no toilet facilities which seems surprising when composting toilets are available on other sites. The site also has a very useful information hut with lots of information on the railway history of the area together with local walks and bus timetables. We hadn’t taken our tv as the site info said tv reception was poor. On arrival we found that there were tv aerial sockets on the EHU bollards.

Short break

This site is just what we want a little jem in the cotswolds. Small but quiet no toilet block on here so own facilities needed. Beautiful place to relax and unwind. The grounds are spotlessly clean and tidy all grass pitches are immaculately kept, hardstanding pitches are covered in cotswold stone and are some of the biggest pitches I've seen on any sites. Stayed here for 4 nights in April and will certainly be back. The club is trying a automatic entry system here and providing you have pre booked there are no queues at the barrier. Wardens are very helpful and freindly and are available if and when you may need them. The site is about 15mins from centre of town so transport is needed really. As already said we will be back soon.

Best in Cotswolds

We have recently returned from a two night stay at this our favourite Campsite. Over the last five years Robin and Annette have made us feel so welcome. We were disspointed to learn that they will not be returning next year. We wish to put on record our sincere thanks for the commitment they have made to keeping Bourton so splendid. The attention to detail is second to none and few other sites in our experience come close to replicating what they have achieved at Bourton. So much so for us, it is our 'go to' site. We are slightly anxious that the NPR system now in place will not provide the level of welcome that our wardens Robin and Annette have provided. That personal touch and warmth of greeting has been so appreciated. To be greeted by a machine displaying welcome to the number plate does not fill me with enthusiam, and if this is the way things are going, then thank goodness for CL's where owners still come out to welcome. We will miss Robin and Annette, we wish them well and can confirm that our loss at Bourton is certainly the gain of wherever they pop up, hopefully on the CAMC network. As we left Bourton this last time, there was a real sadness that our wardens who have become by association our carvanning friends will no longer be there to greet us.
