Lovely site to visit Cirencester

We stayed here for its vicinity of the Cotswold show, i.e next door to it.  Its a well planned site with plenty of facilities, so many showers and toilets all were clean.  There are some lovely walks in the area including a scenic walk in to the town through Earl Bathurst's  estate.  Its about a 15min walk to the town that is definitely worth a visit.

Poor staff - paying customer's job to clear other people's dog mess?

Whilst pitching up we noticed some dog mess had been left on the grassy area by our pitch (92).  A member of staff happened to be nearby and so I very nicely reported it to him.  His response was to offer a dog bag for me to clear it up.  I nicely pointed out that it wasn't for us to clear it up and he should.  His reply was that it wasn't his mess, to which I replied it is the site's though.  He then said it is not his job. So then I had to point out he needs to find someone who's job it is.  Eventually he cleared it.  Is it The Caravan Club's policy that paying customers should maintain the site?

A Great Find

We live fairly local and wanted to air out our van after a while of not using it, plus introduce our 3 week old daughter to the joys of caravanning! We loved this site, it is peaceful, easy walk into Cirencester for shopping/eating out, plus very close to many places to discover and explore in the Cotswolds. The facilities are clean and modern with the emplacements large enough for privacy. The site is very well maintained with lots of trees and backing onto the lovely Bathurst estate for walks. Only noise was birdsong and the occasional plane from the RAF base (we presume Lyneham). Site was very well kept and has a small playground for children. Enjoyed delicious fish and chips from the mobile chippy, shame we missed the pizza van! Would highly recommend and although on our doorstep would use again.

What a well kept site!

Our long weekend was all we could have wished for it to be on this beautifully kept Club site. The team of Wardens take a great deal of pride with their constant maintenance and the help they provide to members. The fact that the site was almost full - with many young families present at this time of year, meant that children needed to let of steam and enjoy themselves. This affected the peace and quiet sought by members but was understood by the older element. Work being carried out rebuilding parts of the college had no adverse effect on our enjoyment but, one area worthy of note - the top of the driveway could be improved with so many vehicles entering the site and leaving it, and the cricket club - has made a series of fairly deep potholes tricky to negotiate with a caravan in tow! Maybe this is one for the Club's estates department?    Cirencester has something for everybody and is a delight to visit whether on foot, or by car from the site. A typical Cotswold market town with all they have to offer. Further afield, there are many other towns and villages and places of interest that deserve a little of peoples' time.

A good second visit

We first visited some years ago on a stopover en route to the south west, but decided we wanted to see more of Cirencester so booked for two nights. Site was far from busy mid week in May so plenty of choice. Warm welcome and very clear instructions given for the route into town through the park. Cirencester was a delight - despite the rain showers. We found a little cafe in the stable yard (down the side of the butchers) just down the little road on the left past the museum. Allowed us in with the dogs as they were not too busy but they also have a courtyard, which was a sun trap when the sun was out! The full breakfast include a coffee and was excellent. The Museum is well worth a visit (we took it in turns to wait with the dogs in the courtyard with the kind permission of the owner) and has some excellent Roman mosaics. Quite a lot of independent shops  and some impressive old buildings.  Nice field for the dogs on site. Facilities on site very good (including the bench seats rather than my bete noir - the plastic stool). Sensible that one block closes in  the morning and one in the afternoon. However, be aware that they start closing up for cleaning ten minutes before 10.30 and if, given the very necessary one way system, you are emptying your motor home at the top block before  you leave and want to quickly nip to the loo before you go, make sure you are in before 10.20!

Comment from The Club

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are sorry to hear your comments concerning the closing times of the toilet block.  I have checked with the Wardens on site who tell me that this toilet block (TB1) is closed for cleaning each day between 10.15 and 12.00 and signs are clearly displayed on the doors to advise members in advance.  It is always a good idea to check the closing times as they do seem to vary slightly from site to site. The other toilet block (TB2) closes for cleaning in the afternoon from 1400 – 1600 which means that facilities are always available.  There are motorhome service points in each of these areas.   I hope this helps to explain the way things work at Cirencester Park and thank you again for leaving a review.

As good as ever!

This is one of our favourite CC sites and only 40 minutes from home so an ideal first trip out with the new boy Sparky (rescue Irish Setter for those not in the know!) to make sure he settles in the van. And he was absolutely fine so we can now start planning some longer trips away. The site is as good as ever; very busy this weekend, but looking great in the sunshine and as always the facilities etc were kept spotlessly clean by the hard working team of wardens. Nice to be able to walk directly through to the park itself again. For those not wanting to do a lot of cooking, the pizza man is there on Thursdays and the pizzas are fantastic if a little pricey. The fish & chip man is new and for a fiver does a great fish, chips & mushy peas with a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce - classy! It was great to see the site so busy, loads of families with kids, loads of dogs, loads of couples with neither all enjoying the sunshine and having a fab time!

Lovely site

We really enjoyed our weekend visit to Cirencester. Although this is a large site it was peaceful and the trees make it feel very rural. There is plenty to do in the area as other people have said. We visited Cirencester town which has lots of quaint Cotswold stone buildings and some interesting history. We will definitely visit again,

A May birthday Treat

This was our first visit to the site and we were very pleased with the facilities and layout. At last some hot water in the showers and for washing up - not always the case these days with CC. Site was quiet during our stay and we found plenty to do in the area - Chedworth Roman Villa (NT), Westonbirt Arboretum, Slimbridge, walk into Cirencester through the parkland; also the Roman Amphitheatre nearby. Had the most amazing hailstorm one evening leaving the site looking like a winter wonderland, but we survived to tell the tale. We don't usually revisit sites very often but we would be tempted to return. Oh by the way, those potholes in the approach road - hang on to your china ladies!
