Lovely Site

Have visited this site on many occasions and have enjoyed it every time. However the toilet blocks are in need of updating and my wife asked me to add that in one of the toilet blocks the lock was not working correctly. The door could not be opened as the lock would not turn until it was turned back in the opposite direction and thus for anyone who is claustrophobic or panics this would have been a big issue. Otherwise this site is ideal.

Busy Site

Very well placed for people travelling to/from Devon and Cornwall - extremely busy - we stayed for 3 nights on our journey to Devon and 3 nights on the way back. Close to the abbey - easy walk into town - very friendly helpful staff - toilet blocks need upgrading but we will certainly visit again.

Busy Site

This is a very popular site. We stayed two nights in mid September. Abbey outside the site, with large park area where you can exercise the dog. The wardens were fantastic, all very friendly and helpful. Only negative is that in the toilet block we were near only had two showers in the ladies and three curtained sinks. They also need updating and more showers as the site is so popular. Two minute walk into town with lots to see and places to eat. Will visit again.

Nice and close to town

This is a well kept all grass site, stayed for 5 nights. The pitches weren't in fantastic condition, guessing due to non- breathable ground sheets, the toilets do require updating and weren't the cleanest I've seen. There is some noise from the carpark adjacent and the abbey bells! However it is close to the town and plenty of pubs and restaurants. Good for visits to Gloucester and Cheltenham. Don't blame the wardens, lift your groundsheets and look after the amenties a bit better yourselves.

Still let down by Facilities and Cleanliness

We have stayed at Tewkesbury every year for about 8 years, and we have seen the condition of the toilets / showers slowly worsen. This year (16/09 to 18/09) they were close to disgusting. We can accept dated facilities but not dirty and smelly. We will not return until they are updated. Shame as the location is excellent, but we will book an independent site next year.

Stopover

We just stayed one night as a stopover on our way to Devon. Ideally placed to walk into Tewkesbury & to walk the dogs in the park by the entrance. Very pleasant welcome from the wardens & yes the site was full and very busy.

The Rules require changing!!

A fantastic site plagued with dickensian rules & ruined by uncaring wardens. We were to meet our friends halfway between our home in Suffolk and there home in Cornwall, one of our Cornish friends who is disabled was hoping we could be pitched together so it would have been much easier for her to see us, being wheel chair bound. We arrived 2 hours earlier than them but alas it was not in any way allowed for us to either reserve or pay in advance so that we could hold the pitch next door to us. This site is perfectly laid out for the disabled but alas the regime isn't. We will have to meet up at a non Caravan Club site next time so it may not be worth us staying as members? Can anyone change or even stretch the rules when the disabled are involved???

A Lovely Location

We arrived and received a lovely warm welcome from the wardens with a beautiful array of flowers on entrance to the site, due to the fact that it had been warm dry weather for sometime the grass pitches were more than adequate for our stay and nicely cut as was the whole appearance of the site. However on our visit to the toilet blocks we were more than disappointed. There is 2 very dated old style buildings on site. although cleaned daily are well past the need for a full refurbishment, broken toilet, cracked cistern, mound on ceilings, cubicle panels delaminates and very tatty, not what you would expect from a site of this value.

A great place for a stopover

This site was a stopover for us on the long trip back from Cornwall to Lancashire. Tewkesbury is ideally located just a few minutes off the M5 motorway and the Caravan Club site sits in the shadow of the magnificent abbey. Tewkesbury is a very pretty town with lots of old buildings, riverside walks and a number of inviting pubs. It's certainly worth a visit in its own right. The site itself has all grass pitches, some of which are not suitable for motorhomes due to the soft ground. The staff at the site were extremely friendly and helpful. Once you are booked in you are issued its a set of keys. Toilet blocks need a key, the barrier needs a key and the pedestrian exit needs a key. Guess there must be a good reason.. The facilities are in need of an update. This was especially noticeable having just come from a private site in Cornwall where everything was very modern.
