Location great, but site awful.

Stay at this site for 2 nights after which we were glad to leave. On arrival we were greeted at the entrance by an abrupt warden who immediately told us the rules of the site etc. Then he confused us by saying we needed to use the motorhome service point to fill up, despite us having an Aqua roll in our storage area. Went to motorhome service point which can accommodate 2 Motorhomes comfortably, to find some inconsiderate other person taking up the whole bay while filling up. Whilst waiting for it to be come free, went to the toilet block where only 4 persons at any time are permitted entry. You have to take a rubber wrist band out of a liquid solution in a tub hanging outside before entering. There was already a queue of 3 persons waiting to gain entry to shower, so if you really were desperate to use the toilet, it would have been dreadful. Returned to motorhome service point and other user was just finishing filling up with water then moved off. After filling up our water tank we drove around the site looking for a pitch. It was really busy and very little social distancing between pitches and no privacy at all. We parked on the pitch and set up. 30 minutes later a warden was riding around the site and approached us, telling us we hadn’t parked between the markers correctly ! Was told we must park correctly. Surely a pitch is there to be used fully. Does it matter whether you’re on the left or right side of the pitch? We didn’t have an awning or other vehicle on the pitch? We complied as directed nevertheless. Too many others using the site which was fully booked. Toilet block should have been closed and all Caravaners / Motorhomes should be using their own facilities. Abbey bells chiming on the hour every hour throughout the day & night, so no sleep had at all. Only good thing about the site was the 5 minutes walk into Tewkesbury. Won’t return again.

Ok for a night

Used as a stopover for a night while heading south west due to proximity to m5 and facilities locally. Nice area but 1 night is enough on this site. Extremely busy and packed in like sardines on the grass pitches in the rows behind the hardstanding,very poor access on some pitches. Club certainly making use of all available space.glad we arrived early pm and not later as dread to think what sort of pitch would be left.fortunately dry so no issues there with getting bogged down. Not overly keen on picking a wristband out of a bucket of bleach either, only 4 allowed in facilities block at a time too,crazy on a busy site,might as well just close the amenity block.so best off to use your own loo / shower unless you enjoy queues. Facilities all round were clean however. Found one of the wardens rather abrupt and not overly welcoming,not a great first impression after 180 miles behind the wheel..the other guy we spoke to later was spot on however.. Site Served its purpose but wont be rushing back….particularly at the current price.would find a CL next time.

Beautiful

We love going to Tewkesbury, great little high street with everything you need... Nice Park (Off Site for the Kiddies) and the Site itself is very well maintained (Would say this is the best site we have been too) Great Stop off for the M5 Run down to Cornwall or Devon

Perfect location

Lovely welcome from Andrew at the gate. Cheery and polite and very helpful explaining what was what etc! Excellent location for our purpose which was to meet up with friends for an evening meal in the town. 5 minute walk into the very picturesque town of Tewkesbury and can recommend dinner at The Abbott’s Table very conveniently positioned at the end of the campsite lane!

Beautifully located site

Have visited this site on numerous occasions during the last 18 months as our family live in Cheltenham and it has been an ideal place to meet them during the recent restrictions. The site is beautifully situated within walking distance of Tewkesbury and it’s beautiful Abbey. We love it here. The toilet blocks and showers are beautifully clean and all the wardens are extremely friendly and helpful. Are visiting again at the beginning of July

Excellent Site, everything on your doorstep.

This was our first long trip in our van, 323 miles and 7 1/2 hours later we arrived at beautiful Tewkesbury Abbey. The wardens were very friendly and welcoming and the site was beautiful and well kept. The facilities were very good too, the changing area in the cubicle is great, and they were kept very clean. The site was very busy, coming from north of the border we hadn't realised it was half term. That said the kids were well behaved and at night there was very little noise at all. It is a short walk into town and everything is there on your doorstep. A must see is the Abbey, it is an amazing building with some fantastic stained glass and tonnes of history. We both thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights en route to Cornwall and would not hesitate to book here again or to recommend it to anyone else.

Lovely Site, conveniently located for Tewkesbury Town and River Walks.

We stayed at the Tewkesbury Abbey site recently, and were very impressed with its location, cleanliness and facilities. Some COVID restrictions were still in place, but these worked fine for us even if some guests did not heed the face covering needs within the toilet block and did not understand the wrist band system! Due to the wet conditions some guests were struggling to get their vehicles on and off the pitches. We were lucky as we were on a hard standing site. I do think that there should be more fully serviced pitches available, as this is what most people want. One comment I would like to add is one of the wardens needs to go on an anger management course and perhaps attend a Customer Services seminar, as his attitude to a couple of guests who had mis-understood the pitch marking system was appalling, making them feel as if they were criminals! The other Wardens were great and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and will be happy to recommend it and will certainly be returning to this very well placed site.

Very disappointing stay

We had a very disappointing stay at this site. On arrival we we were advised we had a grass pitch which I had not realised as when I booked it said standard pitch with awning which I hadn’t realised were grass pitches ( this is my fault). I did ask if there was anything else available but was told not. The pitch we had was near the entrance to the site by the public carpark just outside the site as this was the only available pitch. The weather was terrible and the pitch was like a total bog as were all the grass pitches. They really aren’t fit for purpose and need to be made into hardstanding pitches. We were paddling every time we stepped out of the caravan. Our shoes were wet through and muddy. The carpark just behind the site had cars with loud music, shouting and bottles being thrown about until the early hours of the morning then at 6.30am each morning the work started on new gas or water pipes that were being put in. I appreciate this is beyond the control of the site but all in all it was not a very pleasant stay at all. Ourselves and the people pitched next to us left early as they were also fed up with everything. Definitely won’t be rushing back to this site which is a shame as the area is lovely and the Abbey is stunning, I hope the CAMC seriously look at scrapping the grass pitches for hard standing as on a site that is known for flooding they really are not fit for purpose.

Great site and really close to the town and bus stops

Starting with the welcome and site information to the pitch itself, we cannot fault it. the staff are friendly and the site is clean and well kept. There is a bus stop about 2 mins walk from the site and regular goes to Glous and Cheltenham. the 2 main independent bookshops in town are an absolute treasure trove. loved the site and the walks around, will be returning.

Two night stay

Stayed here for two nights in April. Pitches are well spaced and face in a variety of different directions so choosing a pitch that suits your requirements shouldn't be a problem. The facilities are very clean and the Covid procedures are well thought out and generally everybody seemed to adhere to them. The site is in an excellent location only five minutes walk into the town centre with a good range of shops, take-aways, pubs and facilities. The boat trips down the Severn were suspended whilst we were there but no doubt they will start again in May. Right next door is Tewkesbury Abbey and even a cricket ground where you can watch matches, which appear to be played on Saturdays. Even so the site is very peaceful and there is little or no road noise, especially after six in the evenings. The site has three service points one of which has a drive over waste water disposal point for motorhomes. The toilets are spotlessly clean and the staff are extremely helpful. We were just a couple and I'm not too sure if there is a play area or any specific facilities for children on the site. To be honest I forgot to look! However, in general I think this an excellent site and we both agreed that we would stay here again if we were visiting the area.
