Can't believe we've never visited before!

We decided to take a short hour long trip from our hometown for a mid week break at this lovely site and didn't regret it at all. We've given it 5 stars even though the toilet blocks are a bit on the ancient side as we really loved this site and its location. The wardens are lovely, really friendly and helpful and we were warmly welcomed on out arrival even though we were a little early. The site is really peaceful despite its location on the edge of the town and is nicely laid out. Tewkesbury itself has loads to offer with nice parks, an amazing Abbey the rivers, lots of old buildings to look at and plenty of places to eat and drink. We will definitely be back again. This site and the wardens and their team are a real credit to the Caravan Club.

A good stopover

I agree with most of the other comments on here. The site is in great need of upgrading, especially the toilet blocks, which though kept clean are old and not what we are used to on a CC site. The pitches need better marking and are quite uneven. I had to get out my levelling ramp after long disuse! There is noise from Abbey Bells and some road noise but not too bad. Having said this the Wardens are really nice and it is a good stopover for travelling up or down the M5 and it was nice to look over the town and Abbey.

Convenience scores over facilities

Easy to access from the M5 so an ideal site en route to southern resorts and ferries. Great also as a base for exploring the Cotswolds and Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Forest of Dean. We found lots to do in the area, and Tewksbury itself is a charming town. The site is well placed for an easy stroll into town for shopping, eating and drinking;peaceful enough for just relaxing....what more could you want from a site? Well caravan club- this site would benefit from extending the facilities, which although adequate, fall behind many other sites visited. The staff at Tewksbury are friendly and helpful...we love it here!

First time, so first impressions. Good access and good location. Wardens very good . The site is uneven and the wardens did their best to move the pegs along so as to park the 'vans on the bare patches left by folk not lifting their groundsheets. Some of the pitches are awful as they are too close to the road and sideways on, some didn't seem to have much space between and the tent pitched were under tall pine trees. The water pressure is low, it takes an age to fill the water butt. The toilet block is bad, clean but bad, it not only needs doing up but extending, there is room on both blocks. At the moment the site is one of the "cheaper " ones so I expect once they refurbish it , it will become expensive like the others. Out side the site is a play park and a big field for the dogs and kiddies. The bells are not too bad , they do go all night but only as loud as a chiming clock. the evening they did the bell ringing was a bit much but it was only one evening. The weather was good so no worries about the site flooding, however if it does I believe you get a two hour warning. It is used for a stop over by many many people as it's just off the M5.

Good location

This review will sing the same most others, the site is in a very good location next to the abbey (it's an abbey there are going to be bells ringing), more importantly it is a busy site with a desperate need for investment from the caravan club, loose slabs around the toilet blocks, toilets whose cisterns won't fill quickly enough to re-flush and very very dated but generally clean as can be toilet blocks, the pedestrian entrance is located in the middle of the entry and exit gates with no marked walk ways which must be a accident waiting to happen, however a piece of red and white tape and a black board instructing pedestrians did appear while we were here so maybe it nearly did. Overall a very nice site well maintained by the polite wardens but in need of investment from the club and this could be a perfect 10 site.

Great Location, however you have to like church bells all night.

Amazing location next to Abbey in a amazing town however you have to like church bells all night. Toilet facilities little dated and are in desperate need of refurbishment with more showers, but most importantly very clean. otherwise a great site within walking distance of a good range of restaurants & pubs. So relaxing and great to watch the coming and goings everyday of people passing through. Staff so very welcoming and attentive. Looking forward to returning.

Good site

Busy the day we got there. Had to wait for a shower. One of the blocks ran out of water which became unusable. Great location for the Abbey and Town. Regardless would stop there again. Good facilities and well maintained. Good and very pleasant staff.

Outstanding site

This site is a gem. Close to Tewkesbury, it is well worth a visit. It is well maintained and in a lovely location. I do not recognise some of the comments on previous reviews. We were there on a busy weekend and whilst it was full, it did not appear crowded. Showers and water were hot. The facilities are well kept and in my opinion more than adequate. May be we caravanners should concentrate on leaving the facilities in a state we would wish to find them. Clean sinks. Clean toilets. To often sinks and toilets are left in a disgusting state by the previous user. It takes little effort to use a toilet brush and wash the sinks out. It is not the wardens job to clear up after us!
