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.

Convenient Relaxing Cotswold Location

Bourton-on-the-Water is a lovely small caravan park with no toilet or wash facilities, which is no bother as caravans and motorhomes have them built, so this shouldn't be an issue. The site is less then ten minutes from Bourton-on-the-Water with beautiful surrounding countryside. The site has nicely spaced out pitches surrounding by fields, and the water and chemical waste facilities are immaculate. Bourton-on-the-Water club site has the fast check in which works great. But I must admit I much prefer to speak to a person. There are no parks and this is a quite site for relaxing, so not a football kicking or electric scooter park, more reading and chilling.

Peaceful stay

A small but peaceful site in a lovely setting. There are no toilets or showers but that didn’t detract from a very stay. Pitches are good. Robin and Annette are extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again. The walk from the site to Salperton is easy to navigate and the village itself is beautiful. Dover’s Hill is worth a visit if you have dogs.

Simply The Best ..... !!

A fabulous site, beautifully & lovingly maintained by Robin & Annette, for whom nothing is too much trouble. Easy to get to Bourton, Stow and other villages, try the pubs in Guiting Power - all 3 of them. A lovely walk from the back of the site takes you to Salperton village - about 20-30 mins each way. Cheltenham is only 20 mins away and the nearest supermarket, the Co-op in Bourton has a great wine selection ! Plans to "automate" this site will NOT be popular amongst the regulars for whom Robin & Annette are integral to the beauty of this unique location.

Lovely Cotswolds base.

We have recently returned from a week’s stay in our Motorhome with our two labradors. It was our first visit & we found it to be a lovely site with very helpful wardens!! We were really pleased to learn that the small on-site dog walk can be extended on to the bridle path - that was great for the dogs!! We got the bus into Bourton-on-the-Water for the tourist experience & from there walked to Lower & Upper Slaughter. We also did the advertised walk from site to Salperton & Notgrove ….. the cafe in Notgrove is run by the community & is well worth a visit (do check opening times!). We did that walk ‘back to front’ …. walking the bit on the main road first to get it over with. Visitors should be made aware of this part of the walk as the road is VERY busy & there is no path … the rest was lovely & well worth it!!! We have already booked to return as a stop off to break our trip to Cornwall.
