Unlike other recent reviews I did not find the staff overbearing. In fact I engaged with them as we settled into to our pitch where they were helpful. Other than when grass cutting I didn’t see them other than at the exit on welcoming duties!
A site we will be revisiting.
Could be better
At first sight a lovely site on closer inspection pitches very close together. Over officious staff patrolling and watching your every move. Even just walking our dogs around the site to the entrance we were told No Exercising of dogs on the site, how were we supposed to get the dogs to the entrance without walking them there? Carry two large dogs to the entrance? Very overpriced for a basic grass pitch. Won't be visiting until prices come down and staff get better training.
Won’t be Back
We have stayed at this site before but this will definitely be the last time - we are paying over £40 a night for a small pitch with nothing more than electricity which is daylight robbery. By example we have recently come from a commercial site where we had a large fully serviced pitch and our own bathroom for £29 per night. The WiFi at the site is non existent and the TV signal poor and very patchy. The staff on reception were ok but the fact that they were constantly riding around the site on their bikes made us feel that they were constantly checking up on us. Won’t be back and don’t recommend unless you like being ripped of & spied on.
Tewkesbury Abbey stay & Peregrine falcons too
Tewkesbury Abbey Club Campsite was so easy to find, the site was immaculate, the shower and toliet facilities spotlessless clean. Wonderful to walk from the site up the high street and sample the many places to eat, relax. (recommend the chocholate shop!)
To see the Abbey in the evening from the site all lit up was wonderful, spending a couple of hours in the Abbey and the grounds was perfect, in addtion to see and hear the resident peregrine falcons soaring above the site was a wonderful addition to our stay.
We walked to Gupshill Manor for a meal, the pub is beautiful but the food was a little disapointing but lovely place to have a drink and take your dog too.
I cannot fault the site overall, only to say that it was very busy and for me unlike other club sites, space is limited as the pitches are very small and I felt there was not enough space between each pitch, also its very much felt like adult only site not really for families, though access to a large park just outside the gates accorss from the Abbey with a play area was an additional bonus for those with children.
OVERNIGHTER
We have stayed here quite a few times now, sometimes overnight and sometimes for a few days. We are never let down by the site or the staff. The facilities are kept immaculate and the pitches well maintained. The site is within walking distance of the town for takeaways or eating out. The Abbey over the road and its field are well worth visiting. We will be coming back again, probably on numerous occasions.
Another superb trip to Tewkesbury Abbey - 5*
This is the second time we have stay at Tewkesbury Abbey, again we were en-route south.
However next time we visit we intend to stay longer- the site location is fabulous, clean, well tended.
We are in a Motorhome and the pitches as ample space for us.
We will certainly be back very soon.
If you’re looking to visit for the first time , the town location is less than 5 minutes away. The Abbey is over the road and there is a lovely field to exercise you beloved furry friends.
A lovely 3 night stay
First time here, and will certainly be back. We have previously used another site in Gloucester as our half way stop to the South West from our home in North Wales, but would probably stop here instead. Many people seem to use it for one nighters, in fact we had three different neighbours each side during our 3 night stay. Site is really well tended and cared for by wardens and facilities are modern and always clean. Lots of choice in terms of pitches but would recommend a pitch at the top of the site, furthest away from park and cricket ground as can be noisy at weekends. Plenty of places to eat and drink (would suggest the Nottingham Arms or the Berkley Arms for the olde pub vibes) in Tewkesbury town, would need a week or two to try them all as there is so many.
Took a bike ride to Upton on Severn, as listed in the site info room, and found it to be a lovely small town with a few cafes ( we enjoyed No8), and we also took a walk to the Fleet Inn along the bank of the Avon, which is in a lovely setting, or you could get a ferry there from Tewkesbury Marina if you didn't fancy a walk.

Worth a stay
Stayed for 4nights arrival on point and dealt with efficiently.Staff very friendly and helpful. Facilities excellent and cleaned daily to a high standard. Would definitely recommend this site. It helped not having to be off the pitch until 12 pm.
Tewskesbury abbey what a gem
just spent 3 night here although the site was full plenty of room , site staff were a credit to the club facilities as always were 1st class. located right by the abbey ( a must see ) and plenty of shops and pubs close by and most are dog friendly. good walks nearby for dogs.
Another good overnight stay at Tewkesbury
We've used this site on a number of occasions finding it very convenient for us living in the South West. This time it appeared that there was an increase in 'Do not exercise your dog here' notices' - valid as there are good walks from site. However, could I make a request for a small area to be set aside for dogs on site for that vital last evening call? I'm not a particularly nervous person but am not wholly at ease at taking my dog for a last wee onto the water meadows after dark. If an area of grass could be set aside this would perhaps also mean fewer signs (never a good look) and less mess elsewhere. It is, after all, a very large site.
