Visit to Tewkesbury

I have just returned from the Caravan and Motorhome Club Tewkesbury site. The good point of this site is its location as it is just a short walk to the town where there are many places to eat and to enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon tea. There are also some walks along the river bank. However there are downsides, of which there are many. Firstly the individual sites for each caravan or motorhome are extremely close. This is not good for privacy and also for manoeuvring a caravan or motorhome onto a pitch. The hard pitches are few and far between. The website does not make it clear that the majority of the sites are grass, this was agreed with the warden on site and he said they had reported the fault on the internet to the Club but still the people like us arrived to be horrified to be given a grass pitch. The hard standings were all booked at the time of our visit. The wardens do their best and spend considerable time using their tractor to pull motorhomes from their pitches. This site should not use their grass pitches during wet winter periods. The new toilet block has a bad system to gain access - a code number and to turn a smooth round handle. The door has a heavy spring and there were many people who could not manage to use this means of access and I found many times people outside knocking to come in because they were unable to use the means of access. To leave was no better as again a heavy door to move and the same smooth circular knob had to be turned. Also the heat in the showers could have been warmer. The wardens were very helpful but they got very muddy and therefore their hands were not the cleanest to push motorhomes from their pitch so left nasty marks on window edgings but at least were more than helpful doing their best to help motorhomes etc leave their very muddy pitches.. Not a site I would visit again in the winter months unless I was assured of a hard standing.

Would agree about the spacing, the grass awning pitches only just fulfil the 6 m spacing between outfits. Also agree about that lock / spring on the door. Fortunately when we were there temperatures were in the high 20's C and the door was wedged open most of the day. I must say I am amazed they are using the grass pitches on that site so early in the year.
