Lovely site
Just spent the bank holiday weekend at Bourton-on-the-Water site, what a gem! So peaceful, lovely views, and lots of wildlife of the animal and bird varieties to watch! We are in the second full year of owning a caravan and up until this weekend have only used sites with toilet/shower blocks and were a bit dubious but the bonus is, sorry families with children, its mostly adults. There were probably 4 or 5 children on the site but there was non of the ball kicking or rampaging around until all hours on bikes and scooters so we could sit in peace and watch the birds or walk the dogs or just sit and snooze! When we arrived we were advised by the warden which pitches would be okay for our caravan as its about 27ft long. Non of the pitches were very far from chemical waste point, fresh water point, grey water point, along with recycling bins and each of these areas were immaculate. We did have plans to go into Bourton but we had such a laid back three days we never left the site except to walk the dogs! And on Monday morning after a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich we packed up to go and on exiting the car park were told by the warden we didn't have to go SO early, my husband and I consulted our watches for the first time and found it was only 10.30 am, that was a surprise, we both thought it was much later. So, to sum up, totally relaxing weekend, can't wait to go again, loved it!!!
A one night stay
Site was good although quite slopping tv reception poor as stated but I feel the booster cable should be available for hire at a reasonable price instead of having to purchase one at £15
Fabulous site and super wardens
Stayed here over Easter. Easy to find and a great location for visiting many parts of the Cotswolds. We were allocated a pitch to suit the size of our van which was good (saves driving around to find 'the perfect pitch'). No toilet block which we knew on booking. Although it was about full we found the site peaceful and very clean. Very good sized pitch and water and waste facilities handy. TV reception with a booster ariel was excellent. The wardens do a great job at keeping the grounds in tip top order. They were also very helpful in suggesting places to eat and also in giving directions. Nearby Bourton was lovely but there are other places well worth visiting - the Slaughters for example, and Stow on the Wold, Bibury and the Arlington Row and Stanton. Delightful Cotswolds villages. Broadway is a larger village/small market town that has a good range of small shops, and of course Moreton on the Marsh. We found super walks and cycle routes near by. We also visited Highclere Castle (Downton) which was about a 50 min drive away and would highly recommend here.

Last Minute Two Night Stay
Just returned from a very last minute two night stay at Bourton-on-the-Water CC. Firstly what a very warm welcome we received from the wardens who could not do enough for us throughout our stay. The site is beautifully kept and pitches appear to be larger than other sites. Very peaceful and tranquil even though it was a Bank Holiday weekend. A lovely site we certainly will return to again for a longer stay.
Lovely spot - away from it all
Lovely spot up in the Cotswolds and with really great countryside and small villages and hamlets to walk to. The Wardens were just wonderful - very helpful and informative.
Good compromise
We usually stay on CLs but have found over the years that they have become quite expensive and as we get older we are less inclined to go down muddy tracks. We therefore felt this was a good compromise with tarmac roads, hardstandings and excellent filling/emptying/waste facilities. We have our own facilities so would rather have this sort of arrangement and pay a bit less. Only issues were the poor TV, radio and mobile data signal. We made do with the few channels and had DVDs so that wasn't a major issue. The radio was odd in that all but one night we had reception but we must have been parked just a fraction further back which meant we could not pick up any decent station. The mobile data was an issue because I need to book my gym classes at some awful time in the morning and usually do this online so as not to disturb my husband. Unfortunately I had to ring them at 0630 so it was an early start that morning!! Friendly staff and lovely location. We don't have dogs but used the walk as the start point across country into the neighbouring village. We were lucky enough to have lovely weather during our visit.

Wonderful wardens - credit to the site - memorable stay
I stayed with my sister as we wished to walk to Bourton-On-The-Water from the site. The wardens were very helpful from the moment we arrived, and pointed out various pitches we could go on i.e best view and went above and beyond in helping us/guiding us to the start of The Windrush Way taking their time to explain the route on a map/providing valuable information. We had a great few days and recommend the walk to BOTW (takes a good couple of hours through some lovely countryside, takes 3 hours if you don't follow the way markers properly!!) and the town itself is very pretty with lots of nice places to visit. We also visited Stow-on-the-Wold and you can park your motorhome for free in the coach car park. We also decided to extend our stay by another day as the area was so great to explore. Would definitely go back and lack of toilet/shower block not an issue for us as my m/home is self-contained. Overall an absolutely brilliant location for us and will definitely be back.
Our first visit here and it won't be our last!
We wanted a quick weekend away before our van goes in for a warranty repair and as our first choice site was full (Moreton-in-Marsh), we choose this site instead so we could still be within an hours drive of our destination. Even though this site is fairly remote from civilisation, we weren't in the least disappointed. In fact, as others have stated, mobile signal is poor and this only made for an even more peaceful weekend away. Both of us were surprised how much we didn't miss our phone/iPad/wifi! We made use of the tv booster for evening entertainment but drove into Stow On the Wold on Saturday to pick up something to cook for dinner and to give the dogs another leg stretch. There is a dog walk onsite with poo bins and even a small supply of poo bags for anyone who might be caught out (although I fully expect most responsible dog owners to ALWAYS have bags on them!). The site wardens were lovely and friendly and were very helpful when we arrived in pointing out where we could park and exactly where everything was. We were almost put off by the lack of toilets/showers but we're both so glad we booked anyway. A fantastic little site in a peaceful and beautiful location and one that we will definitely visit again soon! Thank you!
Immaculate, peaceful retreat
What a lovely site to escape to. The views, if you pitch right are amazing.
Do take plenty of books and the dvd player and iPod. We could not get a radio, internet or good TV signal.
Excellent and friendly wardens. They have planted herbs which you are invited to snip. What a delightful touch!
