One night stopover

We had a one night stay here on the way up to Scotland A really nice site, friendly staff and other campers. The little dog walk through the woods was great! It was a wet and windy night and we should have put the storm straps on the awning! There’s a fab village shop about one mile down the road that sells a few different lines - nice to have a change and locally produced goods.

The site description, like other CAMC site descriptions, does not say clearly what can or cannot be done without driving off site. For example, it doesn’t show if or how it’s possible to walk to Malvern, which is important as there is no scheduled bus service there. The centre of Malvern can be reached on foot in about 1 Hr at a steady pace. Turn left at site entrance and immediately left onto a footpath across fields leading to a lane. Turn left and then right along the lane to join the B4211. Turn left onto the B4211’s footway. The route improves after 10 mins when the speed limit drops. On reaching the shops at Barnard’s Green, continue for another 15 mins uphill into Malvern’s town centre. There is plenty to see and do in Malvern including accessing the Malvern Hills. With an OS map circular walks of varying distance can be made from the site. Caravan stuff4u and then the Three Counties Showground (2½ miles) can be reached by foot or bike by turning right at the site entrance and right again at the Hanley Swan crossroads with footways all the way. The Backmore Camp bus stop is 300 yds from the site entrance in the direction of Hanley Swan which is 1 min bus time from the Hanley Swan bus stop. The only scheduled service is First Bus’s 363 to Worcester and Upton-upon-Severn. The timetable is on their website. Their 2 Sep 24 timetable shows no service on Sat, Sun & BHs. On the remaining days busses leave Upton-upon-Severn at 0715, 0940, 1140, 1340 & 1540 and Worcester at 1045, 1235, 1445 & 1800. On schooldays an extra bus leaves Worcester at 0745. A timetable at the bus stop shows each bus’s arrival time which can also be found on their website. There is an on-demand bus service for essential journeys bookable up to 5 days in advance that we did not use https://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/council-services/travel-and-highways/bus-travel-worcestershire/worcestershire-demand. Upton-upon-Severn is a pleasant small town that can be reached easily by bike using quieter back roads. There may be other things that can be done without driving off site.

Such a Shame

This was a return visit and we were looking forward to a few peaceful nights, sitting out in the warm summer evenings, but it was not to be. A group of about six old people set up tables and chairs on the grass behind our van and proceeded to be loud and unpleasant all evening. The next night there were ten of them, so we arranged with the staff to move across the site. The group watched as I took down the awning etc and carried it all away. Just as I finished the "heavens opened" and it poured with rain for next couple of hours - we were so pleased! Don't let this review put you off going, it is a good site and staff are most helpful.

Excellent site great location

What a excellent site facilities excellent and clean . Staff very helpful and friendly in fact staff couldn’t do enough to help .Great location but you either need a car or bike to get to about as tried to walk to Malvern and it’s a good hour and half walk each way . Local pub is good and serves nice food and reasonably priced . One of the better sites we have been to and lots of room between pitches will Deffo be coming back. Used it as stop off on the way down to Cornwall for 5 days but next time will be a longer stay

2nd Visit, and I'll be returning again soon

I am solo motorhomer, I recently made my 2nd trip to the Malvern Hills site, with my little dog, at the end of July '24. And I'll be returning again very soon! Of course, in the summer peak season, the site becomes very popular, but it is open and spacious by design, so it copes very well. During the quiet times, when walking in the lovely wooded dog exercise area, it was so peaceful, with little else to hear apart from the birdsong. The facilities were "spot on" and had good capacity: I never waited once for the loo or a shower, and everything was nice and clean. If you choose the right pitch, the view of the hills is stunning, especially with the early morning sun and at sunset. The area itself is beautiful, of course, and I had a lovely time pottering around on my pushbike with my dog in a basket up front. Idyllic! And I'd certainly recommend a walk to the Swan Inn! So its a "Thumbs up" from me, and a "Thank you" to the team! See you soon! Nigel D

Great site

We agree with all the positive comments, but worth a separate mention are the wardens. The friendliest welcome (never had a bad one) we have had at any site in the 16 months we have been members, great explanation of the layout etc. Had a good chat with the warden and assistant warden, even though they were in the middle of tidying up the site. Great location for a nice area of the country. Would not hesitate staying again.

Meeting up with friends

This was our first time here, the site is well laid out with a good selection of hard standing and grass pitches, the WiFi was poor on our pitch No2 as was Mobile signal, There are a lot of pitches and when full I could imagine it would be very busy, the site is well kept, clean tidy while feeling relaxed, Although we didn’t have children with us the play area was away from most of the pitches and looked very well maintained, a pizza van arrives in the car park every Friday. We would consider returning , If you want a great meal visit the Anchor Inn in Upton upon Severn and talk with James Murray 😂😂 Revels farm shop just the other side of Upton is worth a visit, Clive’s Fruit farm Upton is ok in a car but tight in a motorhome .

First visit

Enjoyed our stay. Though not sure I would want to be there if the site was was fully booked or near capacity. The number of white pegs makes the mind boggle. Great if you want to Walk the Malvern Hills which are a short drive away. There are also walks from the site. Lots of places to visit nearby Croome (NT) Worcester and Tewkesbury to name 3. Free WiFi suits my needs and I have no issue with the 1 hour duration. If you want longer then the Premium WiFi is available. The staff were helpful and friendly and kept the faciities and site clean and tidy

One of the best albeit in need of investment.

This is one of our favourite sites, left numerous reviews over the last 10 years all positive and have many happy memories. Over the last couple of years though we have noticed the hard standing pitches around the site are beginning to look a little tired, not I hasten to add at the fault of the wardens. But the site is now in need of much needed investment, we stayed after quite a heavy wet spell and some of the pitches became lakes with one in particular on par with the River Severn. Drainage needs to be addressed as the pitches at the lower end of the site don’t stand a chance, access roads on the corners need to be widened slightly so that there is no need for the longer outfits to chew up the grass creating some very deep culverts and the hard standing pitches themselves need refurbishing. I’m not bothered for super pitches etc, just a pitch capable of draining correctly and not collecting water. It is a wonderful site, and has amazing wardens so come on CAMC please invest in this one.
