The site is very conveniently situated for walking into and around Tewksbury and visiting the abbey. We thoroughly enjoyed an evening at the Roses theatre and a meal at the Abbots Table close to the entrance to the site.
The facilities are modern and very clean and the site very tidy. It is very quiet at night for a large site in a town situation possibly because locking the gates at night stops evening traffic and also makes the site feel very secure at night.
On a negative side the site feels very cramped when full which I suspect it nearly always is. The grass pitches seem particularly packed together. Because of the positioning of the pitches and the electric connection poles I was put in the position of having to chose between driving over two caravanner’s cables or asking them to disconnect to allow me to leave the site with my caravan. Fortunately the camper van on the next pitch left just before us allowing me sufficient space to leave without upsetting anyone by driving over their cables or asking them to disconnect. A little more thoughtful positioning of pitches could have averted this situation but I think the priority seems to be to pack as many pitches in as possible
I did also despair as I witnessed someone on arrival pull the white peg out of the ground, wander around with it in her hand whilst her partner chose the best position for their caravan and then just plonked the peg in the grass where they had chosen to park up.
Tewksbury Abbey Campsite
A beautiful and well maintained site. Very friendly staff. Also very clean.
Very accessible to all amenities. Walking or cycling to the town and rivers and buses. Children’s park close to site.
Would definitely go there again.

LOVELY SITE
This was our second stay at this site and it was as good as the first. The staff are friendly and courteous. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The facilities are spotless and fresh. The site itself is well kept and the wardens were out and about keeping the bushes trimmed. The town is only a few minutes away with plentiful cafes , pubs and retaurants. It is also a very dog friendly town. We will be back.

A busy cramped but well kept site in the centre of Tewkesbury, the warden working hard, always pleasant and actively participating in Jubilee Celebrations.
The facilities are immaculate being new, the landscaping is now establishing but I am concerned that this will not alter the fact that the site is cramped. I can recall years ago when it was mainly grass pitches, old fashioned toilet block, it was open, feeling spacious, a pleasure to be there listening to the Abbey bells regularly chiming day and night.
However we use this site for overnight stays to Cornwall and Devon, a useful stop over, a short distance from the motorway.
Ideal for breaking journeys and as a venue in its own right
This well kept site is always a joy to return to, with a welcoming warden at the gate to explain procedure. The facilities are excellent and the adjacent Abbey and town are worth a wander round at any time day or evening. A "present" left by a dog on the grass (unknown to its doting owner of course) was immediately scooped up by a warden without complaint before it could become a problem.
So glad we went back after 30 year gap!!
Calm, well organised and well run site with Wardens to the fore for their tireless entry organisation often under difficult conditions and of course their tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
Efficiently run by friendly wardens
This isthexsecknd time we have visited this site, the wardens are dry helpful efficient, knowledgeable and approchable. On arrival we stayed in the Motor home and they came to us, taking the details, going through the rules and letting us through the barrier, this system they have adopted works very well, the wardens keep the site immaculate with a beautiful display of flowers at the entrance. Toilets are cleaned around 2 to 3pm which is much better than the morning midday cleaning. We love this site, easy access to town which is very dog friendly, great for us with 2 dogs, the fields adjacent to site is great for walking the dogs. The area is full of very interesting historical events, a site which is a pleasure to stay at, will definately be going back..Thank you Wardens for a pleasurable visit.
OUTSTANDING SITE - WILL DEFINITELY RETURN
After a disappointing trip to Devon, we hoped CAMC would recover its form - they have. This site is wonderful. There's plenty of space; the pitches are well cared for and easily accessed, no matter what size of outfit. The facilities are all modern and spotlessly clean. Quick access into the town of Tewkesbury is a real asset - plenty of history, culture and retail for those that need it. The only reason I marked the site down (a bit) on peace and quiet was due to a large party in the adjacent rugby club during 1 evening. Aside from that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return.
Beautiful Tewksbury
This place is so convenient to the town with lots of lovely independent shops etc, easy access even for the largest of outfits
Wardens super friendly and toilet block immaculate
Another lovely stay!
- Stayed here numerous times & as usual we had another lovely stay. Only had a two night stop this time as was heading for Cheddar. Staff are all lovely & friendly & make a great effort at presenting the site. They went above & beyond this time with the Jubilee decorations, they were amazing. We wished we could have been there for the jubilee weekend. The site is well situated, just off the motorway but far enough that you don’t here it. Easy walk into town. It’s also positioned well for visiting the Cotswolds, Gloucester & Worcester.
