Overcrowded and not clean.

Since lockdown was lifted we have been to lots of CAMC sites and have been so impressed by how Covid safe they felt. Not this one. As a previous review stated it is rammed full. Every green space has a pitch on it. The facilities block nearest us allows far too many people in at once -8. and is simply not clean. I showered straight after the cleaning time and there was hair in the shower, the floor was still dirty and there was no smell of cleaning products. Not what we have come to expect from camc sites even pre Covid. There is no sanitiser at service points either. We left early.

Overcrowded too many vans crammed in

We were shocked when we arrived to find there were only 2 spaces left and it soon became apparent that the Club had crammed far too many people into this site. Thankfully we only stayed the one night. There was no evidence of the ‘regular’ Covid cleaning that was supposed to be taking place. The chemical waste facility was awash with water. The pipe was leaking everywhere and the cistern flush did not work. We will stay at the Caravan and Camping club site next door next time we visit the area. This place reminded me of Soweto.....

Lovely site

Malvern Hills is a lovely site in an ideal location. We were pleased we brought our car along as it enabled us to visit the area - Malvern, Upton upon Severn and Ledbury. We would have been fairly isolated without the car as we have four (small) dogs. The dog walk on site is a little disappointing as it only covers a small area and dogs are required to be on a lead, even on the dog walk. However, we found different interesting walks on our travels around the area. The wardens were friendly and kept the site tidy and facilities clean. COVID rules were adhered to but we never found we had to wait to use the facilities. We were given a rubber wristband which was left on a peg on the way in and collected on the way out. If all the pegs were used, then you didn’t go in but we never encountered this. We did have to remind ourselves to collect our wristbands on the way out and, once, forgot and had to dash back hoping they were still there!! Overall, a lovely site.

September sunshine

We had the most beautiful relaxing 3 days with September sunshine at this site. The wardens in reception and around the site were some of the best we have encountered. Always happy and said hello, which is one of the free things in life. They always tidied the pitches and mowed the grass and the Showers always clean spotless and not busy. We walked along to the pub in Hanley swan, bit expensive but busy. We went to the retail park for a spot of shopping. We did witness a caravan roll down the hill into another caravan whilst it was leaving. which was sad. Nobody was hurt but such a shock for the occupants of the car towing it and the people in the caravan that it hit. The wardens were organised and expertly sorted out the problems when they already have enough to do. Well done to them. I actually witnessed it happen and it was scary and a warning to everyone to make final checks. Anyway a lovely few days at Malvern only 35 minutes from our home in Evesham. Thank you Malvern hill site for a lovely stay.

Lovely!

We stayed here for 2 nights to break up our journey home from Cornwall. It is a lovely site. There is a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches. We chose a grass pitch and they were all nicely spaced, albeit a bit difficult finding your way in and out! The site was very busy, given it was mid September, but it didn't feel overcrowded! The toilet blocks used the bands on hooks outside system, which seemed to work OK, although someone did take my husband's band while he was in the shower! We would definitely stay there again, maybe for a little longer, as there are lots of walks in the area.

Malvern Hills CAMC site - what a gem!

Spent a week here - our first visit. A large site, but don't let this put you off. The location is beautiful, the views and the walks superb and the site is extremely well run. A mixture of hardstanding and grass pitches - we ended up on a grass one which was a relief when putting in my awning pegs! I'm not one for offering my gushing praise for anyone, but the wardens team really were switched on, professional and above all friendly and cheerful. On our next to last day there was an incident where a departing caravan detached itself from it's towcar and rolled into a caravan on a nearby pitch. Quite shocking and distressing for all the affected members and thankfully there were no injuries. There was substantial damage to both caravans and the electrical hookup post. The wardens swung into action quickly and effectively - this is what they are trained for I'm sure and they must see this sort of thing on an all too regular basis. So, don't hesitate in booking this site - you won't be sorry. We'll be back

Excellent site with views of the nearby Malvern Hills

Despite being a large site we felt we had plenty of space. Our visit was during school term time so there were few children around and it was a lovely peaceful visit. There are only two toilet blocks and some of the pitches a quite a distance from the nearest one. However, they were not too busy as many people, especially during Covid, are using their own on-board facilities. The site is fairly flat and there are good views of the Malvern Hills. All site staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. Local roads are mostly quiet and we enjoyed cycling and walking in the area. It's the sort of countryside where just about every field has a footpath or two running through it. The Swan in Swan Hanley has been mentioned by others (online booking essential) but the Plough and Furrow, slightly further away, is also worth a visit being newly refurbished and with an excellent beer garden. It's also easier to get a table here. We came here primarily to visit the hills, which we walked the length of over two separate days, but there are other lovely places to visit, including Croome National Trust, Worcester, Tewkesbury and Upton. All the last three are on the river Severn, with walks along the river.

Nice site for visiting the area

We enjoyed our four night stay here as it was our second visit to a club site. After our first visit we were a bit afraid that we wouldn't like the club environment after we had a run in with an over officious warden on a smaller site. This time the wardens were great and offered help when needed but were in the background for the rest of the visit. The site is huge but the facilities were adequate with the possible exception of the washing up facilities where we thought there was room to open up at least another sink. There is a nice pub within easy walking distance in the nearby village of Hanley Swan but it is advisable to book a table if you want to dine there. We enjoyed excursions to Tewksbury and Upton but not so much to Worcester.

A perfect end to our holiday

We chose three nights in Malvern on our way home from a trip to Cornwall and what a good choice it was. Lovely welcome by the wardens, excellent grass pitch (even though it took us a while to find our way round and choose one) with plenty of space and the site itself is in a top location. The facilities are okay but could do with modernising, the social distancing was as expected and seemed to work well. Access to the Hills is an easy walk away and a must. We enjoyed the surrounding villages of Hanley Swan and Upton on Severn. We can’t wait to return.

Pleasant but busy

Lovely site, good location for walking the Malvern Hills, nearby Ledbury is a trip to make, historic town, good eateries. Nothing to complaint about just a comment regarding the continuous grass cutting which is noisy if you are planning a few hours on site in the sunshine!. I know it has to be cut and the site does look good... difficult one. Would go back again.
