We have stayed at tewkesbury a number of times the site is well maintained and very close to the lovely town that is full of friendly people The wardens are excellent On the negative side because members can book ahead without paying a deposit the site gets booked up As long as people cancel with 72 hours notice it is OK but this means that new bookers have only 72 hours notice to try to plan their trips. We could only book 4 days as the site was full but we wanted to stay 8 days so we were constantly looking for late cancellations which we eventually managed to get but had to change pitches 3 times. I am sure that taking a deposit on booking would reduce the number of cancellations and reduce block booking making the site more available to more members Almost every site in the UK takes a deposit but not the caravan and motorhome club
