Lovely site.

This is a well laid out, nicely landscaped site with spacious pitches that are not too close together. The toilets were immaculate as you would expect from a club site and the little dog walk in the woods was charming. The little village of Hanley Swan a short stroll away was very picturesque. We stopped for a drink at The Swan which looked to be a lovely restaurant but chose to eat at the Bluebell a few miles away which although just a budget Marstons house, was dog friendly and good value for money. We only used the site as a one night stopover, so can't comment on what it would be like for a longer stay but for our purposes it was excellent.

Great Week

Arrived at Malvern Hills to be greeted by friendly wardens. There was plenty of pitches to choose from and we opted for a hard standing pitch which was certainly of a good size to fulfil our needs. Car Caravan and Awning. The facilities were spotless the showers good and plenty of hot water. The surrounding are was good as was the visit to Croome National trust not too far away. Overall great site and will visit again.

Smashing

Spotlessly clean facilities, friendly welcome and a large site that offers a variety of pitches - near the playground, near the loos, in the shade, views over the hills - you get the picture. A great location for visiting the Malverns and surrounding area. The local pub has a nice beer garden for sunny evenings and there is a pavement all the way so no walking on the road necessary. If you want to climb something other than hills then visit Worcester Cathedral and climb the 200 or so steps to the roof. Stunning views and you can check out the walking route to the Diglis Basin (a short and easy stroll) where you can see boats going into the Birmingham canal. There is a canal boat there that doubles up as a cafe (though it was closed for their annual holiday when we were there). Upton upon Severn is a pretty little place with plenty of cafes. A 600 meter walk will take you to the cholera burial ground. Not a lot to see it's true, but a fascinating piece of local history. And Tewkesbury is well worth a visit too. The Abbey is beautiful and we had an excellent lunch in the Bay Tree restaurant just opposite. They have a small mediterranean garden out back which is nice for an al fresco coffee or meal. And a short walk down to the river will allow you to watch the boats going through the locks onto the Avon navigation - a relaxing way to while away a lazy afternoon. There is a CC site in Tewkesbury which we went to look at (well, you have to look don't you) It was extremely busy on the day we visited, and though it is handy for the town and all it's facilities, we were very happy to have chosen chosen Malvern as our base. We will be back.

Gem of a site

The welcome we received was lovely, allowed to pick our hard standing pitch, the site itself is ideal for the Malvern Hills, small village of Hanley Swan about 3/4 mile manageable walk from the site, nice pub but pricey this is the same in the local village store. Upton is a really nice town/ village, plenty of pubs, shops, and tea shops, we had a nice take away from the River Severn!! The facilities at The Malverns are the best we have ever seen, plenty of showers, toilets and hot water!! So easy to get too off the M5, we will definitely return!

What a find

We stopped over for a night whilst on route to Cornwall, what a lovely site. Don't be stupid like I was when I turned onto the site and went right. I then made a prat of myself trying to book into the Camping and Caravanning site which is adjacent to the Caravan Club site. When you enter the main entrance go straight ahead. This is a big site but well managed and spotlessly clean. We had a great nights sleep which set us up for the rest of our journey. We will definitely come back for a short stay to visit and explore the nearby area.

Huge Site, very busy

Make no mistake this site is huge >200 pitches which include some very large rigs on some of the pitches. The site is very clean and well presented and quite close to the M5. We chose this site to break our journey back up north and it did not disappoint. There are two toilet blocks with ample showers but they can be quite a distance from your pitch. The large number of pitches mean that there is quite a bit of traffic to and fro. Outside of the site, there are two other camping sites sharing the same entry road. The hamlet of Hanley Swan is very pleasant with a nice pub that serves good food. In summary a well run site but perhaps a little busy for a quiet break. However it is ideally suited for a travel break or visiting the showground which is close by. Be aware of those Big Rigs though...

Our first time caravaning.

Firstly I cannot fault the site for cleanliness and general housekeeping was tip top......on arrival I thought I was arriving at a flower show! However the welcome wasn't quite what I expected. Stupidly, in the rush to get out on the road for our first ever venture into caravaning I forgot, or so I thought, our club ID and how we were made to suffer. I was told that if I could not provide our card we would not be coming onto the site. I offered an email confirmation of my membership number and driving licence which was accepted reluctantly only to have a guest stood behind me tutting! I explained that it was our first time out hoping for some sympathy and maybe an offer of help but no such thing. We are very "green" when it comes to caravaning and still a little nervous so this wasn't a great experience for us! Hope all sites are not run by the gestapo. Again the cleanliness of the site was excellent and facilities were all we needed. Now we have some idea of what we are doing we look forward to searching out some other sites. Then again we won't be forgetting our ID either!

A benchmark for a Caravan site

The Malvern Hills site could easily be used as a benchmark for a caravan site. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and directed to areas that were available to us to pitch. From then on everything was as good as you could get, a nice mixed pitch site with nice views and lovely walks. The facilities were kept in immaculate condition even though the site appeared nearly full. It was difficult to believe that there are 217 pitches on this site as it is so well laid out it seems that you are on a much smaller site. We will definitely be using it again as it is close to our family and encourages us to make a full weekend of it.
