Distant views of the Malvern Hills

This is a large site but roomy and attractive. We had booked last minute, so had a 'blue peg' pitch, we were lucky as we didn't get one of the ones near the facilities on old concrete. As mentioned before, there could be more service points, but it wouldn't stop us coming again to this lovely part of England. We walked to The Swan, about a mile, flat walk on footpath, and had a lovely meal.Only downside of our stay was being given a parking charge when we'd clearly displayed our valid parking ticket in Great Malvern.

Excellent Site - Avoid booking in at key times

We found the site to be an excellent standard, clean and well maintained. Friendly and helpful Wardens. Unfortunately our arrival on Sunday 12 July was chaotic. We had received an email from the Club advising us to delay arrival until 1pm, which we did. On arrival 40 plus caravans and motorhomes were queuing and blocking the main road causing mayhem for other traffic. Amazingly the usual checking in system was applied. Enter office pay bill, go to pitch, report back. This was a little ironic since everyone was requested to phone the office rather than visit it. Maybe it would have been better to take a name, membership no. and car reg and let arrivals go to a pitch then return to pay the bill either by a timed appointment or at will. This would have been more Covid safe and would have released the traffic from blocking the highway and only necessitated one visit to the office !

Wonderful

Second visit to this site in 3 years, first trip after CV19, we went the 5th July first weekend of reopening. Excellent, very well organised especially as a very big site. It’s in a beautiful location, wonderful walk from the site. The pub down the road is still fab. Perfect for cycling as all flat quiet country lanes but there’s the hills if you want them.

Nice site, close to M5 for stopover

We used this site for a stopover whilst travelling to the Lake District. It’s not far from the M5 and is easy to get to. There is a mix of grass and hard standing pitches. We liked the site. But there are not enough service points and many pitches are some distance away.

9 days instead of 10

We arrived on 19.07.2020 to a long queue waiting to get on the site, not very organised, even people that were already on site were stuck in the queue. We were given wristbands and a barrier key and some information regarding Covid rules and requirements etc, which was put together very well. The site was very busy but we eventually found a hardstanding pitch, the TV signal was very poor, very pixilated, apparently this is very common due to the granite in the Malvern hills we were told, so no football for my hubby :( We notice quite a few things on this site that would normally not be allowed on other sites we have been to and found it strange as we though that all sites followed the same rules. Caravans and Motorhomes were arriving on site easily from 10am and some even leaving as late as 8pm, no regard for speed limits, I cringed at the speed some people were driving over the bumps in the road, kids were going hell for leather on their bikes or scooters, although I didn't really mind this as they were enjoying themselves, just a bit worried about the amount of skin that would be scraped if they went a cropper, and a few did. The toilets and showers were ok lots of water on the floors and wet tissues most times I went in, could of caused an accident for someone older slipping. We will not be returning to this site

Excellent Site and well organised after Covid

This was our 1st trip out in the caravan since February because of the coronavirus lockdown. A little apprehensive but didnt need to be. Very well organised arrivals. payment before arrival and pitch allocation we were met by the wardens who handed us barrier card receipt & covid info in a pack. Wristbands for facilities so only 4 in at a time, only minor issue was people forgetting to take bands back. But it worked well. Wardens were very friendly and helpful, stopping to say hello and kept the site clean and tidy. The area around is fabulous so many places to visit. we had dogs and there were so many dog walks around either in the hills or surrounding areas. We actually found the arrival easier than normal no queueing for reception and straight to a pitch I know some dont like pitches allocated but personally we found this quicker. We would definately visit again and would like to thank the wardens and the club for their hard work in getting sites up and running safely so that we could all enjoy our favourite times away.

I would stay again!

Only stayed for one night on our way south. The countryside around was flooded and roads were closed and there were roadworks so getting to and away from the site from the M5 was difficult and tedious. Not the site’s fault obviously! Our welcome was warm and when I explained my husband’s disability the staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. They suggested a pitch, showed me where it was, helped me to get unhitched on the pitch and were generally brilliant. The next morning we were able to hitch up without help but the wardens came out to check us over and were ready to help if needed. When thanked they shrugged it off, saying it’s part of their job to help members. We will certainly return and stay for longer as it is a lovely site.

Large site with plenty of space

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of October. The Friday & Saturday were VERY wet and much of the surrounding area was flooded. We had chosen a pitch at the bottom end of the site and many of the pitches around us were flooded. Although we did have standing water on our pitch it wasn't too bad and when the weather improved dramatically on the Sunday the water quickly dissipated. However during the heavy rain the sheer volume of surface water made it a bit difficult to get to some of the service points (a pair of wellies would have been useful ;-) ) We received a warm welcome from the wardens on arrival and they were always pleasant and helpful when we encountered them during our stay. The facilities were to the usual high standard of the CAMC. It was nice to see that both shower blocks were to remain open until the end of the season. On previous visits at this time of year the lower shower block has been closed and due to the size of the site it can be quite a trek to the other block. The site is ideally suited for the Malvern Hills if you enjoy walking. It's also very close to the 3 Counties Showground if you want to visit many of the shows held there throughout the year. The city of Worcester is a relatively short drive away and there is plenty to do and see there.

Warm welcome at Malvern

We arrived on this site breathing an immense sigh of relief having been evacuated from Tewkesbury due to flooding, which to say the least was very stressful. So to arrive on a beautiful sunny crisp Autumn day and see a spacious and welcoming site like this which is immaculately cared for with two heated generously sized and immaculate shower blocks, was tremendously appreciated. The wardens welcomed us in and we found plenty of hard standing pitches to choose from. The Malvern hills ridgeway is a must if you like to walk. We visited Croome, NT, well worth a visit. We only had a few days here and came to see the Autumn spectacle and wasn't disappointed, only had to look out of the front window to see the beautiful trees in all their Autumn glory. We will be back, but will avoid the wet season.

Late September Arrival and into October for a Full Week 1st Visit

Taking a full week on this site in a motorhome using available public transport. It is possible to reach Great Malvern from the site by using two buses. The local bus towards Worcester that stops about quarter to half mile down the road towards the village of Hanley Swan on the same side as the site is. Then change at Powick and walk for three minutes onto the main road and get the bus to Great Malvern. Going out is particularly easy and straight forward. Return is a little more tricky as connecting buses become less later in the day. It can be done though! As MH users we rely on the local services and up to date time tables are essential. Please ensure double checks are made in this location as the winter times are approaching and the service reduced. The site itself is calm and tranquil off season. We would not visit in peak season due to the grass areas being full with outfits. Most of our time here was extremely quiet with folk pitching to give neighbours space and quiet. The arrival of one outfit destroyed the tranquil atmosphere with its dog continued barking. Had we not been leaving the next day we would have asked the owner about it. The facilities are as you would expect and cleaned during the afternoon, a bonus imho. The mh waste point is easily accessed with driveover drains. However, a full circumnavigation is required of the site following its use, most frustrating and wasteful of fuel and a disturbance to others. Would we visit again? Most certainly but only off season.
