Quiet site in the countryside

We had a weekend here in the heatwave. Site is spotless, only spoke to the warden at check in, but was friendly. Hard standing pitches are rock hard, can hardly get rock pegs in, but that might be the weather. The site was pretty full when we were there and felt a bit regimented, ie rows of caravans. Hedges surround the site, but not much to break up the view of caravans. There is no toilet block and I think that keeps people in their vans more. Although it was full we saw very few people outside, not much chatting going on! I think some of the vans are seasonal, so they may have been empty. Dog walk goes around a part of the site on bark chippings between hedges, but you can turn off and walk on a bridle way. Not sure if you could let a dog off here as the crops were high and couldn’t see what it lead to. Generally this site is quiet, peaceful and not near anything. Better suited to couples who want to relax or explore the area by car. Not the best site for families.

A Peaceful Haven

By preference, we normally choose quiet CLs or relatively isolated wild camping spots but Bourton offers a well maintained, rural spot that seems to attract the more thoughtful. With no kids, we can't comment on the suitability for families but there seemed to be several vans and motorhomes with a range of ages. They all appeared quite happy on site and certainly did not affect the relaxed ambience. The link from the dog walk to the bridle path is clear and not too overgrown - a 20 minute exped to Notgrove Barrow took me past a field with wild hare and, in the distance, barking muntjac. Great to see a photographic history of the site in the Information point, showing it's railway heritage. We will be back.

Peace and Quiet!!

If your looking for a lovely, clean, quiet site then I would highly recommend this place. Stayed here for a short 2 night break with hubby, our 11year old son and his friend and we had a great time. The site is well maintained, very peaceful and very quiet. It’s a short drive into Bourton-on-the-Water and there’s plenty to do once in the village. The wardens were friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely go back there!

Great site for a quiet relaxing break

Have just returned from three nights at this site and what a great place to stay, a very warm welcome from the wardens who made sure we chose our pitch in our own time and offered to help both with setting up our awning and also finding info for me as I had an issue with the brakes on my caravan on the journey to the site. The site was really well maintained and the service areas were spotless, look forward to visiting this site again very soon and would recommend to those looking for a peaceful quiet site and don't require a toilet block or a play area

Peace on a railway line!

Set on an old railway line, far enough from the road to be quiet this is a traditional club site with no toilet block. As we do not like using communal facilities and hardly ever step inside a toilet block, this is music to our ears, because we don't have to pay double the price for facilities that we don't use. Helpful and friendly wardens and well kept site. In the old days it was in Notgrove but seems to have moved to Bourton on the Water although you will have to drive a few miles to the village, so might be a challenge for motorhomes without a car (parking). Easy to spot because they still have the old distinctive red and green caravan club sign (for now) rather than the dreadful new logo that is difficult to pick out on the road.

Great site

Very friendly site, beautifully maintained, peaceful and quiet and great to just chill out at. Weather was atrrociuos but can't blame anyone for that. Great facilities for motorhomes. There isn't a shower block - didn't bother us in the slightest but guess I have to knock a star off for that. The facilities that are there are spotlessly clean.

A hidden gem!

Have just brought the caravan back home after a part seasonal pitch stay at this beautiful site. We have been fortunate to spend many long weekend since September exploring this fantastic area and discovering many great walks and local hostelries! Not usually a fan of club sites, preferring quieter CL's, Bourton on the Water is an exception to my rule. The site is well kept with some lovely grass pitches (which I prefer), immaculate facilities and friendly helpful wardens. Kate and Bob kept the site beautifully tidy and were approachable if ever we had any queries. We are looking forward to a return when the site opens again next season.

Peaceful site centrally located in the Cotswolds

We stayed on the site for a week in early October 2017. We selected a hard standing pitch as the warden advised grass pitches were rather damp due to recent rain. The site is very rural and peaceful. The site is very well maintained with lush well kept lawns. The wardens were very helpful and friendly. Long distance views are not available on most pitches as the site is located on the site of the former Notgrove railway station in a cutting. However this was advantageous in October as pitches are sheltered from strong winds. It would have been helpful having signs on the Bourton/Cheltenham road at least 100Metres either side of the entrance as it is easy to miss. The site is located near the charming Cotswold villages of Bourton on the Water and Upper/Lower Slaughter. There are several Interesting National Trust properties within a 20 mile radius. Also Sudeley Castle is an interesting day out (resting place of Katherine Parr). Cheltenham is a 10 mile drive for larger shops and the Everyman Theatre.

Fantastic peaceful Site.

A Site on the 'roof' of the Cotswolds that is so peaceful you'd be hard pushed to beat it anywhere. It's a real anachronism - only a few miles from one of the busiest villages and the conurbations of Cheltenham and Gloucester - yet you have a gem of rural beauty. The flora and fauna compliments this amazing Site. Sometimes we all deserve a bolt hole to escape the pace of society and this is it!

Quiet and well maintained

Lovely site if you prefer small and peaceful sites and are not concerned about lack of facilities, which doesn't worry us as we prefer to use our own at this time of the year( early October). The wardens were wonderful -very friendly and helpful. We only booked for 2 nights as a stop over between Dorset and home but stayed for 3. Would certainly stay on this site again if passing through the Cotswolds.
