Poor organisation.

Came down for birthday, 13.3.2019. Arrived 12.3, no notification that electric would be turned off the morning of 13.3. Claims of notices being put around the site were discovered on the toilet block doors, which we do not use. As a result of sudden power failure the battery fuse blew, no water, no toilet flush, no auto ignition of fridge. Toilet blocks were closed because emergency lighting failed, no help offered by staff. Electric restored later between 17:30 - 20:30. To top it all the toilet block was closed 14.3 for water testing. Probably the worst site I have ever been on, poor road system and pot holes seemed irrelevant.

Such a Shame ...

We have to agree with the three previous reviews. We left a day early and went home especially as the wardens were going to close the facility block near where we were pitched in spite of the fact there were people nearby. We were very disappointed with the state of the site since our last visit. The site drainage was simply awful - huge pot holes and puddles. The pitches were very tatty looking - not looked after at all. We will not be going there again which is a shame because the location is great.

Agree!

Couldn’t agree more with the two previous reviews. Just spent ten days there. Very disappointed with the state of the site. Poor drainage from roads; pot holes worthy of the worst French sites; tired main toilet block; pitches too small, badly drained and muddy; poorly lit in places. Sorry, will not be going there again anytime soon - unless there’s a major refurb.

Moreton needs refurb

A lovely weekend at one of our favourite sites but it is such a shame the club has chosen to spend money adding glamping pods but not bothered spending money on the site itself. The roads are a disgrace, pot holes and when it rains large puddles. The pitches are desperate for some attention the hardstanding in places is full of moss which then makes them muddy when it rains. Many of the pitches are not big enough for the units using them, this leads to cars being parked on the grass and running over the grass when parking and leaving. Looking at the CAMC record of closing sites for long periods of time to do simple refurbs. no doubt they will eventually do the same here. Such a shame the club don't look after the members who pay membership fees and nightly fees to stay at a sub standard site. The wardens do a marvellous job keeping this site clean and trying to look after the pitches.

Time for a refurbishment

This site was once the gem of the Cotswolds sites, being within easy walking distance of the lovely village of Moreton in Marsh with all of its charm and facilities. Also an ideal location for touring the Cotswolds. We haven't been to the site for some 12 years and we were welcome really warmly by the warden. The site is in a lovely setting with lots of birds and wildlife. The two toilet blocks are always spotless although the older one of the two is shabby and ready for a refit. The site has a lovely play area and a generous dog walk. At the rear of the dog walk is a popular footpath across some beautiful countryside to Batsford Arboretum however you cannot access the footpath from the site anymore as barbed wire has been erected. Can I suggest that a gate with a punch lock is fitted (as the club have done at Knaresborough) to allow access to the footpath.The site is open all year and as such I would expect to be able to fit my caravan, awning and Land Rover onto the pitch to save the grass from being churned up. This is not the case. ALL of the pitches are small and are not suitable for twin axle caravans. It is impossible to fit any modern caravan, car and awning alongside each other without ruining the grass. We were advised to park our car in front of the caravan. Firstly if this was possible it masks your view and secondly the gap between the caravans tow hitch and the edge of the pitch was 3 feet. My Land Rover is 1.8 meters wide! As the site was quiet I parked it on an adjoining pitch to save the grass. Many pitches are muddy and need re-gravelling. If this is to continue to be an all year site this needs a rethink. Reduce the number of pitches and make them wider. To keep the grass looking good must be a nightmare for the wardens.

Peaceful site

The site is level, quiet and in a good location for Moreton and surrounding Cotswold villages. The toilet/shower blocks are inadequate for 182 pitches when full, and the gravelled pitch sizes vary considerably, with some too small even for a reasonable awning. Parking the car in front of the caravan (a requirement) blocks the view from the caravan windows. The site tends to be dominated by enormous motorhomes - which presumably pay the same as the tiniest caravan or VW camper. Does this mean that the high electricity usage by such massive vehicles (especially during the winter) are being subsidized by the low usage smallest vehicles? It's about time that the Club adopts the policy whereby electricity usage is metered - and the pitch costs reduced accordingly. This would also encourage those who smoke inside their vans with the skylights wide open (in winter!) to take energy conservation more seriously.

Central location

A peaceful site with good facilities within walking distance to town. Buses and train available in Moreton-in-Marsh to transport you to nearby picturesque towns such as Bourton on water and Stow on the Wood, Stratford on Avon and train to Oxford. Pitches however are on the small side.

Great Site with a lovely palyground

This is a great little site in a lovely setting. the faciliteis are the usual club high standard and were kept nice a celan despite the site being full. Lovely play gound with space to play football and a great little crazy golf course. If my 5 year son was in change every site would have crazy golf!! Easy walk into the town and a good walk to Batsford Arboretum. A steak van was on site Saturday evening and served a lovely steak with chips, mushrooms and coleslaw. It's ccoked in front of you and it's great! There area couple of National Trust properties close by as well as Cotswold Wildlife Park and Cotswold Farm Park. We'll be back!

Felt a bit tired

The site is in a great location with good access to the town and some lovely country walks. The facilities were clean however, the water in the men’s block was like warm which is not ideal when it’s cool weather. Two of the showers in the ladies block didn’t work at all! The pitches are ok but a little tight getting in and consequently the grass verges are quite badly cut up which makes everywhere feel a bit dirty/muddy. Maybe that’s could be ententes on the edges to allow better access especially for the larger units. Nice dog walk area and the surrounding countryside is stunning. Great location but could perhaps do with a bit of TLC.

Immaculate facilities on a quiet and tranquil site

Just got back from spending three nights here in our motorhome with our young family and father in law joining us in his motorhome. We managed to grab two pitches next to each other in our vans. Plenty of room for awnings, excellent facilities for motorhomes and immaculate toilet and shower blocks. There's a lovely little play park and field for the children to play in and a separate dog walking field. The town of Moreton-in-Marsh is a 10 minute walk from the site gate. Only tiny negative is there's no tv reception on site, but the EHU posts have an aerial connection.
