We drove up from the Cheddar Gorge site. The roads from the M5 to the site were fine - nothing too narrow or steep. We arrived the Friday after the Platinum Jubilee and the site was very empty and very quiet - about 50 pitches in use but we were told it had been much busier.
I bought access to all the OS Maps for the year (£29) as the phone app shows the vast majority of footpaths (as well as detailed OS maps of the UK). We have a Springer Spaniel so we want somewhere where we can walk from the site - today's walk was a 9 mile circular walk to Hanley Castle on green lanes, footpaths and field boundaries - absolutely perfect. There is nice small dog walking area on the site for a quick 10 min walk.
Plenty of toilets, showers, wash hand basins - all maintained to the standards you'd expect. Grass is well looked after.
It suited us down to the ground. We thought it was a lovely well maintained site. You can't walk to a supermarket but there is always Waitrose in Great Malvern and there's a co-op a bit closer at Barnard's Green.
Minor thoughts - I don't think much of the way the beer is maintained at the one and only pub you can walk to The Swan Inn. It was poor when I last came 5 years ago and wasn't any different this time.
I prefer a shower hose - not a shower head fixed to a wall but I understand the reason for the choice.
Beautiful well kept site
We stayed here for a long weekend while we were house hunting. It is beautifully laid out and so peaceful, lots of birds singing. Two new things for us, we pitched up on a grass site rather than our normal hard standing as it was nearer to the toilet facilities which we knew our son and his wife would prefer to using our facilities on the van. Although not completely level it was very easy to level ourselves. The other new thing was using the site facilities. They are spotlessly clean, well thought out with loads of cubicles, daughter in law may be converted to caravanning after all.
The staff were really helpful and friendly as always. The pub at the end of the road The Swan Inn does superb food and i would highly recommend it.
Definitely will visit again, but this time for a holiday!!
Large and gently undulating site
Just spent a few days on site, visiting the Malvern Spring Flower Show. The site is very well positioned if you are attending something at the 3 Counties Showground. There are lovely leafy walks from the site, but its a long way to the Malvern Hills by foot, although it is managable. The Plough & Harrow is very very nice, not cheap, but very nice food, with loads of parking if you are in a MH, you do need to book at busy times though. You cannot walk there though, which is a shame. However you can walk to The Swan all along the pavement from the site, cannot give a recommendation as we didn't manage to find time to go. We hired a boat from Upton Upon Severn which was a lovely way to spend the afternoon and I thoroughly recommend Pundits Fusion, an Indian in the same town. Again you need to book as it has a very limited number of tables. The only negative about the area is that you need to drive to visit most places, which isn't always easy in a MH. Site as always was very clean and the facilities were fab. The site has a lot of grass pitches, which isn't a problem, but they weren't the most level. Lots of very large trees, so if you are looking for the sun, you might find it difficult, but if you like the shade then it's perfect for you. Wardens were wonderful, full of recommendations and very helpful. Another lovely few days in a CAMC site

Spring at Malvern
Lovely views. So peaceful and quiet. Spacious and very clean.
Quite a way from the start of the Malvern Hills walking, so we found bikes very helpful when staying at the site.
Some nice villages nearby and in Great Malvern the tourist information was very helpful.
Great walks from the site as well as it was rural.
First stay at CMC site
Nice site with good facilities good if you like walking and cycling.found the staff a bit officious. And the lack of cheaper non electric pitches forced to pay for something I don’t need a metered ehu would be better.
1st trip to the Malvern Hills
Lovely campsite with great facilities and friendly, helpful wardens. Ideally situated for touring the Malvern area. Good size level pitches with electric. Plenty of walks from campsite with shop and pub within a mile. Plenty of wildlife on site and in local area, with Green Woodpeckers visiting if you’re lucky enough to spot them. We did a circular walk from site to Worcestershire Beacon and back, which was around 11 miles in total. We will be back.
1st trip of the season
Lovely 3 days stay for our 1st trip of 2022. Very peaceful and quiet with the sounds of the birds and woodpecker early morning. Facilities always spotless and the wardens friendly and cheerful which is what you want, got on with their jobs and didn’t bother you. Our dog Ted loved lying on the grass outside watching the world go by. Weather beautiful except for last Wednesday when it rained all day so we went to the retail park for retail therapy. Sunsets are amazing. Fish & chips in barnards green lovely but soooo expensive. A little play park if you have children. Thank you wardens lovely well kept site.
Peaceful
Three night stay in late October meant huge amounts of rain, but fortunately mostly at night. Nice views of the Malverns from the site, and indeed from some pitches. Facilities up to usual standards and wardens friendly and welcoming.
Cycled to Upton upon Severn which was a pleasant flat ride of about four miles, has some lunch and cycled back. Fantastic to walk on the Malvern ridge itself - a short drive away and found motorhome friendly parking at the Gardener’s route car park. Hanley swan lovely village short distance away with handy shop.
Overall, very pleasant and peaceful visit on the last few days of being open this year. I’m sure we will be back.
