Great Location

This was our second visit to this site. This visit was early September 2021. I cannot describe this site as a holiday destination, but it is ideal as a stopover or short break. There are a few grass pitches which are snapped up quickly so don't set your heart on one of those. Our pitch was in front of the stand and overlooking the racecourse with extensive views. The pitch is tarmac and is on a slope for which you may want to use your ramps. There is water fill-up available near to reception. and we chose a pitch with electric hook-up. There is a motorhome drive over waste near to reception. There is a toilet/shower block but we did not use this, using our own facilities instead. You can walk the full perimeter of the racecourse, (just outside the boundary) which is a very pleasant walk. If you walk in an anticlockwise direction you will reach the car parks for the course towards the end of your walk. Venture a little further and you will get to the Gloucester and Warwickshire Steam Railway which is well worth a visit. The site is within walking distance of Cheltenham town centre with all that it has to offer.

Stunning views

We love this site and visit quite regularly. It's close to home.easy to get to.and the location is good for visiting Cheltenham Town. We walk into town from the site through Pitfield park.about a mile.the views across the cotswolds are fabulous. I know a lot of people are not a fan of the amount of tarmac,but it never bothers us.there is a grass selection of pitches too.the wardens always seem to be very friendly on this site.and always have time to talk.we also love the views of the racecourse itself. Makes it a bit special to be on one of the most iconic racecourses in the country.

Great Location !

It was our first time staying at this site towards the end of September 2021. We spent 3 x nights here. The location is unique overlooking the racecourse & main stand. There were plenty of pitches to choose from, so we selected a pitch towards the front overlooking the whole course, and the wonderful Cleeve Hill. The pitch was tarmac, however, this did not faze us, as we knew what we were coming to, and we were there primarily for the location and ease of getting into Cheltenham Town. All facilities were clean, and water taps, drains etc., were close at hand. The Wardens were lovely & friendly, and very helpful & sociable. We walked into Cheltenham from the site, which took 30 minutes to the edge of the Town, then another 30 minutes to the other side of the Town. We walked the perimeter of the racecourse every day - clockwise & anti-clockwise, which is a great walk, with some lovely scenery, and great if you are a dog walker. Next time we will take our bikes, as there were some nice roads through the racecourse, which would have been ideal. Our only criticism was the noise on the last night from the Main Stand of the racecourse, as there must have been some social event on there, which went on until 2am. It really was very loud, as I would assume a lot of the attendees were worse for wear for alcohol ! A very nice, unique site, which is great for a base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Handy stopover

Having been here before we knew the site would be useful for a stop on our long journey. There are plenty of places to eat in Cheltenham, pleasant walking for the dog and the site is quiet. However, we were not happy to be telephoned at around 2.15, by the wardens, while travelling, to ask our time of arrival. We were given the impression that all their other arrivals had been completed and that it would be good if we could pay over the phone and pick up a pack on our arrival. This is the second time we have experienced this here. On our arrival at 4.00, six packs were waiting for new arrivals, so we were not the only ones. After a long journey it is pleasant to meet with wardens and we do not like being harassed for payment while driving. Apart from this they gave us a handy pitch for an early morning start and we had a good night. We were concerned that the toilet blocks were not secure at night and the female block did not smell too good. The showers were lovely and hot. No hairdryers. Would use again but please do not phone us on route fir payment...

Friendly staff

If all CAMC wardens were like the fantasic 2 at Cheltenham Race course there would never be a need for any more reviews. This is a site well run and obviously loved by the wardens, we will be visiting again next season and mainly due to the wardens welcoming and willingness to help in anyway they can. Well done guys looking forward to seeing you soon

Perfect in every way!

From friendly and welcoming staff, to jaw-dropping scenery, a superb location at such a brilliant price. It's organised well, and the views of the racecourse are breathtaking. Good facilities too and bonus of great internet and phone signal. Peaceful surroundings, with the quaint toot or two from the nearby steam railway, and an easy walk into town. The Southam car boot is worth a visit, as well as the Suffolks Sunday Market. We will definitely be back, as will our friends and this weekend's camping neighbours. We had changed our booking for Bank Holiday weekend to Cheltenham and aren't we glad we did 😎

Great place to stay

Just been to Cheltenham Race Course only one night. Lovely views and very peaceful. Staff are excellent very friendly and helpful. We were having problems booking a site in August and it was no problem for them to book it for us which was much appreciated.

perfect spot!

This is a really lovely place to stay for a few days, the location is perfect and easy to find! The views are amazing, we pitched our motor home in front of the desert orchid stand, you will need leveling blocks but you do at most places. You can walk to the park and ride in 30 seconds, you need to go just behind the reception building and follow the path round and through the barrier fence which is open, the buses are every 20 minutes and drop you off outside marks and spencer in the main town of cheltenham, it is about a 10 minute journey. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants as well as plenty of shops, to return to the site you need to catch the bus from outside the superdry shop which is around the corner to your right from where the bus drops you off, get bus D or E. The people who run the site are lovely and very helpful, we didn't use the facilities as we use our own but the site is well kept and the service area for motor homes/caravans are very accessible and clearly marked. we had 2 lovely days here and will definitely be returning in the future.

Having read the positive reviews for this site, I absolutely despair. We spent one night in glorious weather and it was utterly depressing. God knows what it’s like in poor weather. Basically it’s like pitching on an Asda car park minus the charm. Unless you were savvy enough to book a grass pitch (we weren’t) you’ll be pitched on a (probably sloping) chunk of tarmac. In fairness some pitches have great views of the Cotswold Hills but most don’t and many have the sun blocked by one of the huge grandstands. On the positive side there’s a lovely park about 15 minutes walk away and the centre of Cheltenham is only 30 minutes or so. Oh, and it’s very cheap but to be honest I’d want paying to stop here again. Grim. But not like the fairy tales.
