Very well maintained and cute site.
Great location for walking into Broadway.
Wardens were friendly and helpful with things to do in the area.
Little enclosed dog walk area is a nice touch but due to scruffy owners each time we went in we came out with dog poo on our shoes.
I wasn't looking for it on the floor as I expected the people using it would do so and clean up after themselves.
Who on earth do they think they are thinking that someone else will clean it up for them.
This happened on 2 seperate occasions so unlikely an accident. Disgusting people!
Broadway is such a quaint little place, can highly recommend The Swan for food & drinks.
The Broadway Hotel was lovely to sit outside for afternoon drinks in the glorious sunshine that we are experiencing at the moment.
Pitches a great size and the lay out of the campsite is fab
Excellent site
We are regular visitors to Broadway as it is a super site, well maintained by the efficient and pleasant staff. Easy 15 walk into Broadway. Recommend Cafe 32 and Swan Hotel for refreshments etc. Visited Moreton on the Marsh by bus which leaves from opposite Doctors Surgery a 5 minute walk from site. Broadway Tower well worth a visit, with lovely tea/coffee shop.
Trialling a new way to pitch
We are probably wasting our time doing this review, because the Club management have already made their mind up.
We recently stay at Broadway which has been for us a regular visit over numerous years. When we arrived, we were presented with a leaflet depicting a new multiway of pitching. So off we go to find a serviced pitch. There was only one left, which had a couple of overhanging silver birch trees within a hedge to one side. So we had no alternative to parking, other than the normal way (car, caravan and awning) method, as the trees were continually shedding seeds, which would enter our van through the skylights.
That was fine for that day, as the campervan next to us on our awning side had also parked in the middle of the pitch. Unfortunately, the next day they left and a caravan turns up and park directly on the edge of the grass verge, which in itself doesn’t contravene any fire regulations, but this did have a major effect on our stay for the next seven days.
Given, that this period included the hottest day of the year, we would have spent a lot more time in our awning, especially when having an evening meal. We felt that our space had been invaded with a van that close to us and therefore forced us to have our meals within our caravan. This spoiled the trip, and if we had been given prior warning of the change we would of thought twice about staying.
Why can’t the Club just leave things alone? There is nothing wrong with the current way we are pitching. It provides a defined way to pitch, which has served us well over the past years.
Doesn’t the current management team think that when the Broadway site and others were first laid out they didn’t consider on how pitches should be set out to give members the maximum respect/privacy they could afford? For example, pitches opposite each other across a road are staggered, so when you open your front blinds of a morning you don’t look directly into the van opposite.
We hope that common sense prevails, and you do not adopt this pitching method.
Our recent visit to Broadway (Aug/Sept 2023)
We arrived around 1.15 p.m. and met by a friendly member of site staff we then went off to find a pitch. The site was quiet as quite a few people had left that morning so a good choice of pitches, we picked our pitch and notified the staff in reception. We pitched to the left as part of the new system being trialed. This set up we feel on some pitches is great and suits us and the dogs.
A caravan arrived just after us a few pitches down, a lovely couple who also had a dog and we enjoyed chatting to them and then we began to set up. Whist we was setting up someone went onto the pitch next to us, after a short period they walked passed us and made an inconsiderate comment which totally changed the atmosphere and the joy of arriving on holiday. We were buzzing, happy, busy setting up and the dogs excited to have arrived, most people walk past others and smile or say hello and are friendly. It felt like the ambience had changed, however we decided not to let their comment affect us (be kind to people whilst they are setting up, you may hear some noise). A few nights later another couple arrived and went onto the pitch next to us with their dog who were friendly and said they were looking forward to their stay.
On-site during our stay, the site itself was very quiet in the week for August quite a few empty pitches compared to previously when we have been. Seemed a few more arrived over the weekend, there was Motorhomes, caravans, a lovely couple with a parrot, couples, dogs, and families, a teenager going round on their bike. Broadway is a great for couples, families, dogs, and child friendly site. At night we didn’t hear noise or any of the families/children, dogs on site, you could only hear the owls and cows in a nearby field. We enjoyed watching the steam/diesel trains and visited the cafe at the station.
When we were packing up a few people stopped; chatted, and said hello to the dogs and talked about which other sites they had been to and enjoyed.
Facilities - are great, clean and well looked after by the staff
Pitch - we loved our pitch, however not sure if we will pick it again if it was free (possibly as it’s a great pitch)
Eating/Drinking - short drive or you can walk into Broadway. We decided rather than the on-site chip van to use Russell’s Fish and Chips and glad that we chose this option although slightly more expensive. The pizza van on site is great. Also don’t forget the little cafe across the road at Broadway Station.
Staff/customer service - all polite, friendly and helpful.
Likely to stay again - yes as we have said we would meet up with some friends soon to help them and it’s also a favourite site.
Would we recommend Broadway - definitely. (5/5).
Chuffed with our stay!
With the chuff chuff passing by the site regularly and the nearness to the town, the site is never going to 100% quiet. But the steam train adds a real interest to the site and the proximity to the local shops means that any noise is massively outweighed by the pleasures in both. With the aid of a trolley and a knapsack we didn’t have to use the car to top up on supplies - even when an extra bottle or 2 of wine was required. Great butchers as well which kept the BBQ going. Great series of walk leaflets providing circular walks along the Cotswold Way, of particular note Cleeve Hill near Winchcombe which provided easy to follow paths and spectacular views over Cheltenham and across to the Malvern Hills. All in all a fabulous relaxing stay.
Wonderful site in an excellent location
The site was very well maintained with excellent wardens. We have visited the site many times but this was our first during the school summer holidays. Although it was busy it never felt overcrowded and remained very tranquil. It continues to be one of our favourite sites and we look forward to visiting again soon.
Perfect site for exploring a beautiful part of the country
A wonderful site just outside the picturesque town of Broadway and sitting on the edge of the GWSR steam railway line and station. Perfect for exploring the surrounding area on bike and foot and beautifully quiet and peaceful. Extremely helpful staff and excellent facilities. We loved it here and will definitely be returning.

Great site
We've been to this site several times over the years as it's in a great location but now its even better, the new larger hardstandings and new pitching rules are first class and more in line with European sites which many of us have visited these days. So long as your unit is in between the two marker pegs you may put your car on either side, making pitching much more flexible. I understand that 6m fire gaps must be maintained for everyone's safety but this is a much better system. I also saw a campervan with a gazebo on the pitch which again would not have been allowed before. Well done Camc, I hope that these new rules are allowed to be used at other sites, pitch spacings allowing of course!
Peaceful and Beautiful
What a beautiful site, it is so peaceful and well laid out, although we had a grass pitch which do tend to be of a more relaxed layout anyway. We pitched right by the railway line and without fail was excited everytime the steam train went by with the driver and guards handing out of the windows waving! Will definitely be going back
Brilliant Broadway
We arrived at Broadway on the 23 July and as we got on pitch my wife who had been ill for a few days had to dial 111 after about an hour the ambulance arrived and the ambulance men did all the tests and said that my wife needed to go into hospital. She was admitted into Worcester Royal hospital . She was in for four days she had severe gastro enteritis. I would personally like to thank all the site staff at Broadway for their support and concern for both myself and my wife. There was not a day went by when ever they saw me walking the dog or going to the shop they asked how Carol was doing and when she was likely to be discharged. When I got her back to the van I went to see if we could extend our stay a few days to help my wife's recovery they said they would do their best and true to form they sorted things so we could stay a few extra days. So once again a Big Thank You to all the Site Staffat Broadway Caravan Club Site for all concern and support shown to myself and my wife. Yours Ian and Carol Trowbridge
