Always love coming here "BUT"

Always love coming here "BUT" this time we got a little cheesed off with the wardens having a go at one couple in a American RV. talking to him he said last time he backed in but was told to drive in because of side door was on, this time he drove in & same warden ( big guy with bandage thing on leg) told him to turn around AGAIN. then another warden had a go because on his way to the main gate his dog did a poo ( which he got up) Are we suppose to tell the dogs to stop? Others around said there were fed up of the wardens having ago the people in this van as it was spoiling there time too. normally such a great site.

Quick stop

A great place to stop when enroute home from Devon up the M5 as only a few miles from the motorway. Big site which was full when we arrived so our pitch and been preallocated. We tried out the multi surface pitch which was great, block paving plus a grass area. Bells from abbey every15 mins was very noticeable as we were in our campervan. Would be less of an issue for caravan and Motorhome owners. Large area to walk dog off site but nothing on site which means some owners were using grass beside pitches for early morning or late at night. Need to remember to take your fob to open pedestrian gate too before 7.30am. Would be good to have a small on site pit stop area for dogs like Cirencester has. Dogs welcome in the abbey which is only open 9 to 1 at present. We had a takeaway curry delivered to site which worked well. Menu in information room. having bands in a bucket to use facilities works well, as unlike other sites people didn’t seem to forget to put them back . There were queues at peak times but nothing major.

Wasted Opportunity

The wardens try very hard to look after this site, however the design & layout leave much to be desired. Whilst we had no problems with our pitch some pitches are very small ( including 1 which was parralel to the main exit road & also some pitches are not at all level. I was also surprised at how soft the ground on some of the pitches was considering we have had an exceptionaly dry spell of weather. The Motorhome service point was very far from level both front to back & sideways. Making it impossible to fully drain the waste tank or fill the water tank; although it was at least a drive over grid & not the ridiculous system of having to lift the lid as on some other sites. On the plus side the site is very easily accessible to the town & the Severn & Avon rivers. Unlikely to visit this site again as I would not want to take the risk of ending up on one of the postage stamp pitches or stuck in the mud

Lovely Site

Spent two nights here, a lovely welcome, good pitch, very clean facilities. We have two dogs and they were totally spoilt by having two huge fields right next to the site to charge around in! Met some lovely friendly people, especially one chap who gave us a tap connector as we had the wrong one (only our second time out!) Lots to do and see. Would definitely book again.

Right Up Our Alley

We stayed here as part of our current tour. What a fabulous site. Although the site was nearly full with few remaining pitches we found one that looked OK. It was sloping slightly in the wrong direction for our motor-home. A quick word with the warden and we turned around and everything was fine. We had plenty of space all around us. The on-site facilities are very good and kept spotlessly clean by a very hard working team of friendly wardens. There are some nice touches around the site with flower tubs and bugs hotel which are very attractive. Walking from the site to the interesting town of Tewkesbury, the nearby countryside and the Abbey is very easy and worthwhile, especially the Battle Tour. The site office provided information on a variety of walks including the fantastic Alleys walk. There are some great pubs and restaurants to visit also.

Lovely site - Near to Town & Abbey

Just spent 5 days at Tewkesbury and had a lovely time. The site entrance is decorated with lovely flowers and amusing "things" to welcome you. We were met at the gates by a very helpful and friendly chap who explained the site rules and COVID regulations etc., in a very friendly manner. We chose our grassed plot (49) that was really spacious (seen some comments that some plots were tight!!) and it was clean and tidy too. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful, and work extremely hard to keep the site in tip top shape, they even apologising for the noise, when a guest left, and they had to cut the grass plot ready for their next guest, whist we were having a cuppa sat outside our caravan. Its so near the Abbey and the lovely town that we didn't use our car the whole time we were there. The site office supplied us with a map of the town. Its a shame that Tewkesbury Town Tourist Information Office was closed so we couldn't get maps of places to go/walk/cycle/see etc ., but we saw lots by just wandering down to the river and walking along, exploring the town and then at the boat house. We have booked again for 2021.

Pros and Cons

We were met on arrival by lovely wardens and found the site very easy to access from the M5 either from north or south, fantastic location a short stroll from Tewksbury centre and the Abbey, with a large supermarket nearby with a fuel station. The site is an absolute credit to the hard working wardens, facilities were spotless and we found the safety measures worked well, had to wait a couple of times but in these strange days that's understandable. The floral decorations around the site are beautiful. Some nice walking from the site, we did the Battle Walk which is well signposted and also the Ham walk, both highly recommended. For us the cons were the pitches, as others have said they seemed to be predominately grass and very tight, so much so that we returned after a walk and found that the motorhomer on the next pitch had thought it ok to wind his canopy out fully and then put his awning on the end of that too, unbelievably I couldn't open my drivers side door without scraping against his awning, never had that in all our years of caravaning, after having a word he reluctantly wound his canopy in and moved his awning to an acceptable distance, needless to say he wasn't very pleased with us and it made for an uncomfortable couple of days until we travelled on to our next destination. Unfortunately our Tv reception was non existent on our pitch with no bollard plug in option and phone signal very poor. Have to say that with more hard standing and better spaced pitches this would probably be one of our favourite sites on the system. Next time we will book well in advance and go for a service pitch. They were huge, as were the hard standing pitches.

Lovely Warm welcome

We arrived and were met at the gate with a lovely warm welcome By the warden, nothing was too much trouble and We were given full instructions of arrival procedure, everything working extremely well there was no fuss or stress. All the wardens were friendly and very pleasant, Lovely floral display around reception, everything you could ask for on site. The only slight negative was that only 4 people allowed in the toilet blocks at once which does not seem enough when compared to other sites that we have visited, hense large queues at certain times of the day.

Wardens;good.Site layout;poor

We are two adults & we stayed four nights in late September 2020 on a serviced pitch.Every pitch was occupied throughout our stay. The wardens were courteous & helpful.The site is clean & well kept. The non-serviced pitches are close together & the internal roads are narrow.This resulted in us feeling on top of our neighbours & the whole site looked crowded.

Lovely location, lovely stay

My husband and I stayed here for 2 on 11th September. The site was very very busy. We got there at 3:10pm and only had a limited choice of pitches (obviously proves a popular site). The pitch we picked was 115 which ended up having no sun at all due to the trees, obviously this was our fault. The site is right in the town which was lovely, a short walk to the nearest supermarket or pub and there was lots of shops to explore. You can see the Abbey from the site which is a lovely view. The facilities were lovely and clean and the grounds well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is only a field just outside the site which our dogs loved.
