A liittle dissapointed

I agree with the last two contributors, The signage is very poor, so much so that we could not see the entrance to Malvern Hills and turned into the previous Site, The lady informed me that it happens all the time. Likewise the CC. Club sign on the main road is visible only after you have passed the entrance. The Grass cutting was not so bad when we visited, but still very intrusive. I know if you did not cut the grass we would complain that way. but the mowers seem very noisy even when on next area. The TV rating is not "fair" it is very poor unless you have a dish or a special type of aerial. I like the idea of being left to choose which pitch, with plenty of grass pitches available. But we nevertheless had a wonderful short stay, helped by gorgeous weather, surroundings and the annual Jazz fest.

Large site ( to large )

Stayed here for a three night break, have to say not a fan of arriving and being told to go and find a pitch that may or not be hardstanding. The site is massive with grass pitches seemingly all scattered in every direction with hard standing pitches in between. We had booked a hard standing pitch as we have a large motorhome and when we arrived we're told that their might be only grass pitches left, now that seems to benefit people who can arrive early, and not people arriving after work, anyway about the site too big for us, pitches full of weeds and shower blocks in need of TLC. The signage as you arrive is a bit misleading as we also turned into the site next door as did lots of other arrivies, The location is good plenty of things to see and do and not too far to drive. A word of warning Malvern itself has a very steep hill so it's advisable not to drive through if your towing. We would visit here again only to attend the county show ground other wise we would look else where maybe somewhere smaller and better kept, I understand that the site itself must be hard to maintain because of the sheer size but when sites become too large to maintain you loose the whole essence of what the club promotes.

Lots of grass

First let me get the negatives out of the way. The signage for this site is truly appalling. If you follow the advised route the only sign you see is a very large one for the Caravan and Camping Club site that is next door. The CAMC sign is only visible once you have passed the turning and as it is the new small nondescript type you have to look very hard to spot, facing the wrong way and behind a hedge. Secondly if you are a fan of the little orange tractors or the big green and yellow ones this is the site for you. You can experience non stop grass cutting from mid morning until very late afternoon. The Site staff had at least three tractor mowers plus petrol ones going for three days solid non stop. This is not a site to relax on. Site located well if you like walking as the Malvern hill are on the doorstep and can be seen from the site. Both loo blocks are adequate and are kept clean.

Well worth a visit

If you want a site away the general hubub of life try this one. There is no road noise etc.. We were greeted by a very friendly warden and the layout of the site explained. The pitches are a good size and during our visit ther were plenty to choose from. There is a small wooded dog walk at the bottom of the site which is ideal.The are two facilities blocks with real hot water, not the just above warm water on some sites - bonus. We have been to the area before but there is always somewhere else to visit and take in a bit of history. Some good photography to be had as well. We can heartily recommend the Fish and Chip shop in Malvern - finding a parking place can be an art but it’s worth it. If you follow your sat nav to Morrison’s in Malvern don’t think it’s having a hic-up. Likewise for the Sainsbury’s Local. And whatever you do, make sure you follow the directions in the handbook to get to the site - Malvern in a car was “entertaining” never mind having the caravan attached.

Great site but looking unloved.

I have been going to this site for 4 years now, and this is the first time it has felt unloved. The grass was the longest I have ever seen it and the hard standing pitches are covered in weeds, also noted by our neighbours. The facilities were clean but there was a lot of dust on the shelves, the bins were emptied daily but to be honest I only saw one person that worked there our entire stay. This is a fantastic site and I hope it gets the attention it deserves, never have I seen it so quiet,

Once again superb

Very simply the site is in a beautiful location, well presented and happy staff. Many things to do around the area and on our last visit we had superb weather to cap it all.

May Bank Holiday Weekend

We recently stayed at this site over the May Bank Holiday weekend. The site was fully booked, but despite this, there wasn't a feeling of being squashed-in! There is plenty to do and see in the local area, in particular the nearby towns of Malvern, Tewksbury and Upton-upon-Severn are worth visiting. Myself, my Wife and two children thoroughly enjoy staying at this site. This was our second visit to this site, but won't be our last!

Good site, well kept, friendly staff

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at this site after visiting Upton Folk Festival. The site is well kept and the staff were friendly and helpful. Toilet/shower blocks were kept clean but are looking a bit tired and could maybe do with an upgrade. The site was not full so did not feel crowded, though I suspect it could when all the pitches are occupied. There are no dividing hedges between the pitches so you would be lined up in rows. The site was mostly peaceful but for the almost constant daytime noise of the tractor going round mowing. I realise this is a dilemma - people like neatly mowed grass and it will insist on growing so it has to be cut. It just seemed that every time I settled down in the sunshine with my lunch or a drink, the roar of the tractor would start up. It was nice when it stopped though. The bus service that is advertised is a great bonus. The site office lent us a bus timetable. You turn right out of the site entrance and the bus stop to Worcester is only 400 yards along the footpath on the right. If you want to travel in the direction of Tewkesbury you have to wait on the other side of the road in front of a house. There is no bus stop sign and it is confusing. The timetable on the Bus Stop on the Worcester side of the road states that buses to Worcester stop Adjacent to Blackmoor End Caravan Site and then says buses for Tewkesbury stop Opposite Blackmoor End Caravan Site. We were confused as to where we had to stand so went to wait opposite the site entrance. Needless to say, despite our waving arms, the bus went sailing past without stopping. Pity as we would have liked to have done that trip. The following day we had a great day out in Worcester visiting the Cathedral, Tudor House Museum and the Guild Hall - all free of charge to enter. The bus fare was £5.00 for me and my husband was able to use his bus pass. That was probably cheaper than a car park (not that motorhomes can park in Worcester anyway) so well worthwhile. Just remember that the bus stops are opposite each other even though there is no bus stop sign on the other side of the road.

Malvern Hills in April

This site has such potential and the new wardens - Jez and Heather - are friendly and helpful, and seem very keen to make improvements. The entrance road is shared with the Camping and Caravanning club-site and this road is in need of repair. The signage at the entrance to the road could also be improved. Coming from the direction of Hanley Swan, the only sign visible is the one to the Camping and Caravanning site. The site feels very spacious at this time of year, although I suspect that it will feel more crowded once the grass pitches are opened after the first May Day Bank Holiday weekend. Overall, a lovely site - well placed for visiting Tewkesbury, Ledbury and Worcester. We would very much like to return. It would be good to see some serviced pitches introduced.

Time for some TLC?

This is potentially a superb site. The location is lovely, it’s peaceful and there is a delightful sense of space. However, at the moment a gem it is not, though hidden it certainly is, if you arrive from the ‘wrong’ direction and don’t know that it actually adjoins the C&CC site. The ‘other’ club proudly announces its presence with a large and easily visible (from both directions) sign, but the Caravan & Motorhome Club seems to be rather coy about admitting it’s there. And then there’s the access roads which are full of potholes, and the hard standing pitches which look as if the last time they saw better days was when the old king died. The whole place has a tired and worn look to it. Hence the title of my review. Time, I think, for the club to put its hand in its pocket and make this site into the gem it deserves to be. Until it does, when I’m next in the area I shall take the first turning - into the C&CC site. That said, the welcome was warm and the wardens both friendly and helpful.
