This was our first visit to this site and we were very impressed, although I have to agree with a previous review that some parts of the site look particularly crowded. We were in one of the perimeter pitches which didn't feel so crowded, but it backed on to a busy main road so there was quite a lot of traffic noise. We were also facing a family of three very loud scooter riding kids, despite us choosing to holiday before the schools broke up. Having said that, the traffic was not a problem at night and the kids went to bed reasonably early, so neither issue caused us to change pitch. Some very positive points about the wardens, they keep the office open from 8.30 until the evening, I think it was 19.30. They also clean the showers in the early afternoon which is much better than most sites when it is done in the morning. It's an easy stroll into the village, lots of hotels and a couple of tearooms, charity shops, and an over-priced cheese shop. Quite a big market on Tuesday. Excellent dog walk on site, plus a boules pitch, crazy golf and a small football pitch, all tucked away so they don't cause a nuisance. Wifi was rubbish, we gave up and used the 4g on our phones.
More Space Please
The site and facilities were fine and very much upto Caravan Club standards but when planning the pitches I do believe the Club tried to cram too many into the available area - proximity of one pitch to another left the distinct feeling of being shoe horned in - so more space please!
Well placed site
We chose this site as we were attending a wedding nearby. It is well placed for visiting Moreton in Marsh by foot and if you have a car the other popular Cotswold towns. We walked 12 mile round trip cross country to Chastleton & it's excellent National Trust Jacobean house. The site is near a main road so there is some traffic noise but it wasn't a problem at night.
Usual excellent standard of facilities & friendly staff. Quite a small site so you are very close to neighbours but still quiet when it needs to be. We didn't have children or dogs with us so cannot comment on facilities for them.
Frequent Visitors
We regularly visit this site due to being able to get there before 8 after work on a Friday and we like the surrounding areas. Not far away from Bourton on the Water and Stow, and only 5 minute stroll from Moreton.
Great wardens and facilities. Looking forward to returning again soon.
Our favourite site
This is our favourite site handy for the Village & Stratford & all the other nice Villages that make the Cotswolds,
But Site didn't look the same the Hanging Baskets round the Office were Pathetic & it's the end of June, there not going to win any awards this year!
Moreton - who wants more?
Stephanie and I spent two nights here at Moreton-in-Marsh, and loved it.
The site: if the season is fairly dry (as for our visit) it would be hard to beat Moreton-in Marsh as an excellent get-away place. Well maintained with accessible pitches, we encountered none of the issues reported in earlier reviews.
The facilities: these are modern and well maintained, the wardens doing an excellent job.
The town: this is delightful, preferable in character (we think) to Broadway. The Tuesday market is not to be missed, and even if not in the mood for shopping, you will be tempted by the plethora of stalls. We bought excellent steak for BBQ at the friendly Checketts Family Butcher 24 High Street.
Attractions: take the walk to Batsford, and just before the arboretum visit the Cotswold Falconry Centre to watch Chris fly the raptors. This was utterly fascinating, and provides a highlight for visitors of all ages, with the opportunity to meet the birds hand-to-glove.
Don't normally do reviews but ....
We are here on this lovely site, and want to give an honest appraisal, firstly the good. The site is great for me having three dogs, lovely contained dog run, set aside from the play area, the cafes and bars have made us very welcome even when coming in with huge muddy paws. Local off lead walks are amazing. Wifi excellent. Now the bad bits: You will need a 25M long electricity lead as the posts on the pitches we saw are a long way from the pitches. We had to buy one for £38 from the shop. We had no TV reception but again needed a long coaxial cable which I doubt many would have. Again the shop will sell you one for £15. Looking at the number of new white cables going to outfits I would suggest that nearly everyone had the same issues. There are some more private pitches BUT mainly we seem to be packed in too tightly, with little room to manoeuvre in and out.
Would I come again? Yes, but not in high season.

A Busy Site
We stayed here for seven nights in May, when unfortunately it managed to rain every single day! However, despite our hardstanding becoming a rather soggystanding due to water running off the road onto our pitch, we had a pleasant stay. It is a huge site and a bit like a maze. Facilities were good but my main issue is that there is a shortage of service points. In particular I had to walk some distance for the CEP at the toilet block where I had the dubious privilege of having to queue on three or four occasions to use it (at 8 am in the morning). In summary therefore the infrastructure needs improving to cope with the numbers on site. Loads to do in the area and it was nice to be able to stroll into Moreton where there were plenty of cafes and restuarants. The play area looked fun for youngsters and the dog walk looked good too.

Some areas need updating
As others have commented there are lots of positives about this site but also a few negatives.
Some of the pitches are large and well spaced but in some areas they are very cramped with narrow roadways and because cars have to be parked in front of outfits it makes manovering difficult. The area we were on felt a little like a carpark.
There is also quite a bit of road noise.
The club are erecting camping pods at the back of the site in a quiet open aspect area which will be available to rent by members of the general public. I really feel that they should be improving facilities for members and not turning us into the Motorhome Caravanning and Camping Pod Club.
