Large enough for V Large Motorhomes

Fantastic leafy, clean, friendly site. Made sure we had a large pitch which was a great pitch and easily accomodated our 10m winnebago motorhome. Loved our short stay here, and will definately put it on our touring list. Well done Burford Team.

Sadly disappointed with Warden

We are in storage on this site as we live 100 miles away. This was our 3rd visit this year. Cotswold Wildlife Park is brilliant-a lovely walk, fabulous gardens-and the animals are the icing on the cake ( we are late 60`s in age but you don`t need children to enjoy this venue). Moreton is lovely-definitely visit the Black Bear for a meal-fabulous! We have always found the site to be immaculate--such a great idea to have afternoon cleaning of showers facilities etc.It took the CAMC how long to think that was a great idea??-Wardens so friendly and helpful-until our last afternoon before leaving! We could not have been more shocked-a campervan on the pitch next to us had put their “drive away” awning ENTIRELY on our pitch! The wardens decided in their wisdom that it was fine for them to do so-"wouldn`t want to inconvenience new campers"! What that decision did was to spoil our last afternoon and evening-and our last morning! The neighbours were so close we could not possibly have sat outside and had a conversation without them hearing-we could hear and see them and the candle they had burning inside the entrance to their awning. Had we used the caravan BBQ point for gas to the front of our van-we would have flooded their hexagonal awning with smoke! We are not that inconsiderate! We have been CAMC members for 2o+ years and this is the first time we have encountered an issue of this scale-you are suddenly expected to share a pitch? Your neighbours can pitch their awning on your pitch? Not acceptable at all as far as we are concerned. When a Warden can undermine a customer, with so little regard of the impact of his decision, you have to wonder why you ever joined the CAMC in the first place-Sadly we will not be staying on this site ever again because we rent a pitch-not half of a pitch! We don`t book a pitch to share with another unit-why would you? We stayed 5 nights until 23.7.22

Comment from the Club:

I'm sorry to learn your stay wasn't fully as expected and I trust you have been in contact with the Club formally to review this. The Clubs pitching policy is to accept outfits either pitched nose in or reversed on to the pitch marker and we know in many of our locations, this flexibility allows our guests to experience the very best from the landscape and views that surround them at many of our Campsite locations and sometimes to create a shared space if pitching with family or friends.

We know privacy is an important aspect for many guests and that this will be a priority when considering how to best locate and position their outfit. At all times the fire regulation spacing must be in place to avoid the spread of fire, there must be at least 6 metres spacing between facing walls of adjacent caravans, motorhomes or trailer tents and a minimum clear space of 3 metres between adjoining cars, awnings tents in any direction. Our site staff are not able to observe and assist everyone arriving and so on occasion will ask members to reposition to ensure the fire regulations are in place and, if they were encroaching on another members pitch.

Great site - will return

Our first visit to this site, it is lovely - the wardens are friendly and helpful, the facilities are immaculate and the site is well laid out. Perfect location to explore the Cotswolds or just relax in peace. We were sad to leave. We stayed for 7 nights with friends. Perfect holiday. We won’t bother with the wifi next time though - it’s hopeless, we don’t usually use it as our mobiles suffice, but the signal there is not great. The wardens kindly put us in touch with the people who provide the wifi & we got a refund.

New caravaners - great stay

As new caravaners we really don’t have much to compare to but our 4 night trip at the beginning of August was just right. A friendly warm welcome, excellent reception kiosk & we felt lucky to be able to chose our pitch - which are roomy. Shower & WC’s were clean & spacious and visiting food vendors were a treat. Unless you are keen walkers/cyclists I would say you couldn't walk anywhere/to Burford, main road has grass verges and unlit. Burford is a lovely place to visit, eat & drink and other villages are an easy drive away. We used park & ride and had a fab day in Oxford. A very central location & we will definitely return

Burford......Absolutely!!

My first visit to Burford and pleasantly surprised at the number of bike ride possibilities there were from site by road or one of the many bridleways nearby the site. Like one of the other reviewers I did get the "I've parked on the other side of the site so I should be able to take the shortest route to the facilities even if I walk all over someone else's pitch brigade". There are grass boundaries provided between pitches to walk on but because I had a Campervan and no awning I had several people who seemed to think it was okay to walk right across my pitch within a few feet of my van without a by your leave. Perhaps a few reminders at check in for the more Ignorant or maybe issue cattle prods as well as barrier keys?! The facilities were kept immaculately and the wardens were very friendly and warm. Lots to see and do within reasonable driving distances and some truly beautiful nearby locations in addition to Burford itself which is a very pretty town and actually offers free if slightly limited parking (yes you heard that right FREE) to be able to access the town which does have a rather steep hill you might want to avoid if your legs are a bit wobbly when walking like mine. Would I go again?........already booked and back there in a few days

A lovely well kept and friendly site

Had a fantastic 4 night stay at this site, well kept, clean and spacious on the grass pitches. The wardens were so welcoming, helpful, friendly and hard working...a credit to the club. Recommend the wildlife park over the road and used the discount tickets at reception. We spent over fours hours at the park, lots of shade, toilets and restaurant although busy was well run and the hot food delicous. Be aware Brize Norton just up the road so expect a few overhead fly pasts, did not bother us and provided some entertainment watching their flying skills. We will visit again, our thanks for such a lovely stay.

Our Favourite Site

We have visited this site many times, always our go to site. This year we have made ourselves visit many other sites, all excellent but on returning back to Burford we both agree this remains our favourite. Starting with a lovely warm welcome at reception to generous sized pitches and spotless facilities, it was so good to be back. The wildlife park opposite is a great day out for both adults and children and the club is superb for cycling from, quiet country lanes and beautiful villages all with excellent watering holes. Love it!

A tale of two sites !!!

We were booked in to Cirencester Park from 9th to 16th July which was our 4th time of staying at this site. However, if you expect a warm welcome - forget it!! A staff member was extremely rude and when we spoke to the warden/assistant warden she said he would be very upset to hear this. Nothing about how upset my wife and I were. We asked to have a refund for the rest of our time as we didn't wish to stay any longer. That evening we located an alternative site at Burford and what a difference!!! The ladies on reception greeted us with genuine warmth The male wardens couldn't have been nicer and more helpful even in blistering heat trying to help me unhitch my car which had jammed to the caravan. When it couldn't be mended by them they arranged for an engineer to come the next day. For the remainder of our stay until Thursday they were brilliant - we could not recommend them enough - and that's what a holiday is all about - it's not just the facilities ( which were by the way excellent) - it's about the people. Cirencester is sadly lacking in this regard ( but we did meet a nice member of the team there) and we won't be going back. Burford - we can't wait to stay with you again next year. Many thanks!!

Weeds

This could be a lovely site but the pitches could do with some maintenance such as a bit of weeding, we had two foot weeds growing on the pitch. Also if your not lucky enough to have a pitch around the edge then prepared for inconsiderate people using your pitch as a short cut, on the up side the wardens are some of the most friendly we have ever met and the shower facilities are immaculate.
