Stayed here for 2 nights and wished we had booked for longer.. What a beautiful, large and very open site with outstanding views.. Large pitches and very clean shower blocks.. Would highly recommend to anyone as they have facilities to suit everyone... Very well maintained and would like to say well done to all the wardens... Will definitely be back as soon as we can...
Confrontation with the warden
Arrived just behind my sister and we wanted to pitch together after an older club member took exception to that and reported that my sister refused to allow him on the pitch, although he made it clear he didn't really want it he went to the warden. The warden came down on his bike and was not interested in the other side of the story and told us about the rules etc in a stroppy manner. He then saw a man on a motorcycle who he shouted at with the words "Hey you" which was totally out of order, he could have spoken properly to them and told them about going all the way round. Instead that too became an issue .
We have stayed on this site before with no problems and when we pointed out the dogs were loose and fouling on the grass instead of the dog walk he was uninterested. Club rules apply to everyone and wardens can not pick and choose which ones they want to enforce.
He was very confrontational to everyone other than the dog owners.
The shower block that was close to us had a big permanent puddle in the middle of the floor and we were told that the cost outwayed the repair so slipping was a real danger and no warning signs.
The site itself was well maintained and easy access to the shows. I don't normally complain but felt this particular weekend the attitude of the warden to us and others around us was unacceptable.
Malvern Hills
A Lovely, long weekend visit, third time visiting, but all different times of the year, and just as spotless and well maintain whenever you visit
Wardens very helpful, from booking in to leaving, very pleasant
Would recommend for all types of visitors, great for couples and families alike
Perfect site and perfect site staff
Spent 6 nights at Malvern Hills mid Sept could not fault it in any way. Site beyond clean and tidy and staff the most helpful we have encountered in 20yrs plus as club members. This site could be used as an example some sites on the network.
PERFECT!!
Nice site, but pay close attention to the on-site direction signs
This is a lovely large site. Mainly grass pitches, with a varied layout, as opposed to the standard rows of pitches found on other CAMC sites.
The entrance/exit of some of the areas aren't particularly well marked. Because it's mainly undulating grass pitches, an 'ideal entrance/exit route' to these areas has been designated. Some are quite ambiguous, which we found out when arriving and selecting the area for our van. The entrance to our particular area, was marked with a sign which we believed we followed, that led to a large concrete pad, with no units sited on it. As our chosen grassy spot was right next to the pad, we drove straight to it.
When we were reversing onto our spot, we were politely-ish told off by one of the wardens. Apparently, we didn't enter the grass area between the small sign and a single 12" high scaffold pole in the grass, with red tape on it. No words on it, just a single pole with red tape. I tried explaining that if I'd known that, I would have done so. He did volunteer that the grass area entrance signing could be a little ambiguous, if one hadn't been to the site before. His attitude, whilst completely polite, was 'but, if I catch you coming in that way again....' Local knowledge is key. Needless to say, I hugged that post whilst entering and leaving! (Looking at the tyre tracks in the grass, I certainly wasn't alone at missing the entrance/exit. They were all over the place!)
Our 'telling off' didn't detract from our stay. I only put it here so other newcomers can look out for the area entrance/exit posts, when selecting their pitches.
We'd definitely recommend the site. It's kept very clean and is spacious. The local area is stunning and well worth a visit.
What a little gem!
Never been to Malvern before, booked this site and was not sure. However this is a lovely site. The location is ideal, there are lovely country walks direct from the site, a great pub only a mile away which has a path to it. The site itself is very clean and well organised. It is also about 20 minutes from the Malvern hills which are lovely. Would book again no probs.
Nice quiet site
Booked this site as I had a Morgan Experience day booked as a 70th birthday present. We were very lucky as the weather was fantastic, dry, sunny and very warm. Pitches are well spaced and mostly quite level, (helpful for us as our motor mover had given up the ghost the day before we set off!!)
A small amount of noise during the evenings as some motorcyclists decided that everybody in the area should be able to listen to their latest toys, but that's no fault of the site.
The only downside is I'm sorry we both decided to purchase WiFi access. A real waste of time as it only worked infrequently, so, unless you really need WiFi access, don't waste your money. We were near the entrance just after you enter the site, (pitch 14 I think) and phone reception was almost non existent, (Tesco network). I wouldn't normally mind, but I needed to phone my caravan dealer as our water pump packed up but couldn't.
Technology aside, this is a nice, well maintained site and I will happily return for the Malvern Show next year.
Midweek Break
We stayed for one night in early June as a stopover on our way to Somerset and felt there was so much to do in the area that we came back for 4 nights in August. The site was excellent once again. We stayed on a grass pitch by the playing field. It was great and perfectly level. Wardens were very attentive and friendly and the site was run very efficiently and professionally.One of the highlights was a visit to the Morgan cars factory. Well worth the fee for the tour. We also visited Gloucester and Cheltenham as the site is only 1/2 hour away from either. For a nice dinner we recommend the Plough and Harrow. Great menu, food and service was very attentive. In summary, a great site, well located for the Malvern Hills. Will definitely return.

Excellent Site
If the club website was as well run as Malvern hills site I would be a very happy bunnie. Simple please put leave a review at a site at top of the members login page so I do not have to go thru the wringer to leave a review. Simple!! Anyway great site and staff during our stay during in August despite them being very busy. We used it to finish a very enjoyable Malvern Show and will come again.
Just the Ticket
Had tickets for a show at the Three Counties Showground and this site was ideal. Have stayed in the Malverns before but on a CL. This Club site is large and we did wonder how noisy etc it might be but we had a lovely 6 nights. Facilities clean (2 blocks) plus additional water/recycling points. All the staff we had contact with were friendly and helpful. A motorhomer who had pitched incorrectly near us (presumably a novice) was approached and advised by one of the team - perfectly appropriate and friendly manner. Handy site for walks, cycling and Nat Trust/English Heritage.
