Hardworking Team

We spent 5 nights at this site and can’t praise all the staff enough. Everyone was friendly , helpful and welcoming and work extremely hard to keep the site up to a good standard. Facilities were alway well kept as was the site. This site is nicely placed for exploring The Cotswolds, with quite good bus links and a good rail service too. Lots of lovely places to eat and shopping as well. We were unlucky with the weather but didn’t spoil our break. Thank you and well done to all staff on a job very well done. My only criticisms are not in any way down to staff, sadly some down to members. I never understand why some people find it so difficult to mop the shower floors after use, on a couple of occasions shower floor and cubicle were covered in talcum powder......no excuse ! Around the site were several signs asking us to avoid damaged grass areas as they had been reseeded, not only did some members drive across them but many just walked on repaired sections. The site staff are trying to keep site in good nick for us!! I have to say that the CAMC need to have a look at the pitches on this site, many , in my opinion , are much smaller than other sites we have been on , in some cases not much difference between awning and non awning pitches! Come on CAMC, this needs addressing as does the state of surfaces on many pitches, in some cases almost no gravel was present, just weeds and soil, resulting in flooded pitches after rain. I do realise it has been a very wet start to the season but certainly the state of pitches needs addressing this year. It is unfair that site staff have to be answerable for lack of maintenance beyond their control.

As neat and tidy as expected from a Club site BUT ......

My wife and I arrived without having pre-booked and we were accommodated very well. Moreton-in-Marsh site is beautifully located near to the town centre and is very well managed. We were told to pick from any pitches still unoccupied and we chose Pitch 31, just across from the "facilities". Great!! Until evening and then night came - and so did the wood pigeons which chose the tree over our pitch as a loo!! We heard splatting all night long and were horrified by the mess that we saw when morning arrived. We were unable to drive off until we cleaned off the windscreen. I spoke to the site wardens who were very sympathetic but were at a loss as to what could be done with the birds. Eventually we arrived home and spent a merry 4 hours cleaning the mess off the roof of our motorhome. So ..... I suggest that you don't pitch up on Pitch 31 at least (while cleaning off the windscreen, other people said that they had had a similar experience but not as dramatic as mine) unless the Club has been advised how to manage the bird problem. Good luck to them!! Perhaps the problem is due to the time of year - we were there in April, 2018.

Filthy showers

At 1pm today most of the showers were muddy and unusable. It seems to me that a few members do not bother to leave the showers in a state they would like to find them. There is no excuse for leaving a shower muddy. The showers are not for cleaning boots! Tonight at 9.30pm again two of the 5 showers were not useable unless you wanted to clean up after other members. There was enough talc in the one to start a business and enough mud in the other to have a bath or grow potatoes. This is not the fault of the staff, this is the fault of fellow members disrespecting the facilities, other members and the staff. Please if you use the showers use the squeegee to clean them. It is not difficult. Rant over!

Disappointed

Visited this site many times but I am sad to say I was disappointed on my last visit. I know we have had a wet winter and sadly a wet start to autumn but despite that I do feel that the site is missed some general maintenance. This pitches are dirty even the hard standing, the paths are muddy. The showers had mud in them something I have never witnessed before. In my opinion the pitches are too small , outfits are getting bigger hence grass is getting churned up due to difficulties getting onto pitches.

A Pleasant Weekend

This site was recommended by friends and we spent one of our weekends here. It is just over an hour from our house along the Fosse Way and is within easy walking distance of the town. Facilities are great and the site is well maintained by friendly, helpful staff. We walked to Batsford Arboretum and had a fabulous Sunday lunch there as well as a walk round the trees. It would be nice if there was a pathway to the public path to the arboretum without having to go right around the site but I suppose it was good exercise. The aviation museum is worth a look if it is open.

Small, Scruffy Pitches

Moreton-in-Marsh site must be long overdue a major pitch refurbishment from what I have seen on this visit. Okay, admittedly it has been a wet Easter, but it doesn't excuse flooded pitches, mud and filthy puddles everywhere you look. I don't know when the site was built or last updated, but it definitely represents an earlier age of caravanning. Pitches are much too small to accommodate modern, generally longer caravans and the large SUV's needed to pull them. Cars are parked at the front of pitches with two wheels often trespassing onto the service road. The service road looks narrow in places too. This makes towing a caravan around the site quite difficult. Perhaps none of this would matter if the hard standing pitches were all well maintained, but they aren't. Most are bare of a stone surface and various greenery and weeds are growing through what little decent surface is left. It all looks very scruffy and untidy. But that's presumably okay because we can all proudly say that we are now The Caravan and Motorhome Club with brand new colours and badging. Money well spent when so many club sites seem like they are languishing in some degree of neglect.

Great Location

My parents recommended this site, they visit every year. On arrival at the site we were greeted with the usual high standard you come to expect from the Caravan and Motorhome club site all the wardens were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable of the local area. The weather this weekend was awful just relentless rain which meant the site was quite flooded and grass areas extremely muddy. We stayed on pitch 53 with was very close to all the facilities, it was a white pitch to allow awning but it was quite small the awning reached out over the hard standing onto grass surround which as I said was extremely wet and muddy. The space in front of the van to park the car was again narrow which meant treading on the mud to get into the boot. The facilities were kept extremely clean considering the weather. They did have a Pizza take away on site on the Friday and Fish and Chips on the Saturday we didn't try these but they both seemed popular. We did try some local eateries in Moreton, Mermaids Fish and Chip shop excellent food and service very quick and friendly. The Redesdale Arms if you have a main meal off the menu you get a free drink of Beer, Wine or soft drink if you show your membership card. The Hussan Indian don't be put off by the decor the food was amazing. We caught the bus from the site (flag stones opposite entrance and wave the bus down) to Stratford upon Avon and drove around to Bourton on the Water, Stow on Wold and Lower/Upper Slaughter all very local sites to see. Will definitely be back and can highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit The Cotswolds.

Another lovely break

I have visited this site many times and always enjoy my stay.it is in a good location with plenty to do and see as well as being walking distance from Moreton. where there are of pubs and cafes. The site itself is well looked after and the wardens are friendly and helpful. Twice a week a fish and chip van visits the site and there are 'freshly made to order' pizzas on Friday. Will be back again soon.

Great location

This site is ideally located as a base for visiting the Cotswolds - while the centre of Moreton-in-Marsh is no more than a few minutes' walk away, other parts of this beautiful part of the country e.g. Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway etc. etc. are all within easy driving distance. The site was fairly quiet, so we had a wide selection of pitches from which to choose. There were contractors working on one part of the site, of which we were advised during the efficient and friendly check-in, but their presence was not in the least obtrusive. Pitches are not the biggest, but adequate for our purposes. All are gravel hardstanding, with EHU and TV aerial connections. Some of the roadways were in need of some TLC, but the presence of contractors suggests that this is in hand. Aside from this, the facilities were all well maintained.
