Excellent site

Only stayed for two nights 24/6/24, excellent site and extremely clean. Wardens very helpful and friendly. Close to town with lots to see but only two days so will have to go back. Main reason for choosing this site was to have a hab service carried out on our motorhome at spinner which is about 4 miles away, was so glad to have chosen this site and would loved to have spent more time there.

Stunning Location

The location of this site, managed, but not owned by the C&MH Club, is superb, with views across the racecourse to the stands. The site is compact and the pitches reflect this. The staff were most welcoming and recommended three suitable pitches, which was more than we expected arriving after 4pm. With the town and racecourse nearby it was very busy in the area round the site. Lots of people walking, walking dogs early in the morning and late in the evening, running, cycling, a very well attended Park Run on Saturday morning, late night party/disco at the Racecourse Hospitality Suite, there is a lot going on here. Other reviews have commented on the lack of TV and mobile signal/wifi. We had all of these and our van only has a standard TV ariel on the roof and our phones are also quite basic. A good town site with quick access to anything you need!

Its only one night

Ok so relatively new to motor-homing and we have been on a selection of CAMC and independent sites so far and its on this that I am basing my review. On arrival, we were allocated a pitch. The only CAMC site this has been the case so far. The pitch was fine with a nice grassy awning area, although the weather did not warrant using it on this occasion. As we were using this site as a stopover to break up a longer journey we just needed the essentials...There was no TV reception or site WiFi. Why not? Not even any site TV sockets on the electric hookup posts as we have had elsewhere. Luckily I had decent signal on my phone so used this to stream some TV. The amenities block definitely is in need of some refurbishment. The shower itself was fine and the water temp and force were above average but the tiles and walls and general fittings made me feel like I was in a third world prison block. We ventured into town only to find a quite run down and shabby feeling place so didn't stay long. In summary, given that our brief one night stopover cost over £35, I cannot see how this is justified alongside some of the superb private sites we have used at a similar or cheaper cost with free unlimited WiFi and fantastic shower and toilet facilities. This site does not compare and I feel that the price is way over what it should be. The club seems to be charging a premium for the location here and not spending the income on the site. Generally speaking, we will be avoiding this site in future.

A Great Location and Site

Warwick Racecourse is a centrally located site, close to the centre of Warwick, with access to many of the surrounding areas by public transport (the local bus station is a 10 minute walk up the road and the train station a little further away - maybe 20 mins walk away - but a very nice walk!). The team at the site are all incredibly welcoming and helpful and know lots about the local area. They are very helpful and supportive of all customers. A pleasure to meet them. Some reviews have complained about the race events - but it’s easy to find out about these dates - as they are already on the sites page! So just be aware that’s all. And it’s like having a free ticket to the races! The site has great facilities - shower blocks are always clean and hot showers (with no pressing of buttons!), and the site is well maintained and looked after. I’ve stayed on grass, hard standing - both non-awning and awning. And I’ve been happy with them all. The hard standing without awning is directly facing the race track (only used during racing days!), and although it’s a large area of parking site - I still find it good for sitting out and relaxing. TV reception is poor - so bring a book or two - or use your Firestick! Phone reception is fine - so I hotspot to my phone data. There’s some supplies for sale in the reception - but there are many local shops nearby, including a Sainsbury’s, bakery (The Two Brother), butchers and general shops all in the centre of Warwick. Local eateries - are very close by (The Four Penny Pub is great and food is excellent- lovely garden area too). Of course the castle is nearby - which is worth at least 1 visit in a lifetime! (It’s all we can afford! 🤣). There’s also local gardens and cafes to visit and a walk around St Nicholas’s park is nice - even if it can get busy on a sunny day (there’s a cafe). Plus Stratford upon Avon and Leamington Spa are a bus ride away. This is my ‘go to’ site on my trips up and down England and love being there.

Good for Stopover or Warwick Visit

We stayed here on our final night of a 3 week tour. Access was good and we found the wardens welcoming and friendly. Small site in the middle of the racecourse, perfectly placed for walking into Warwick and the surrounding area. Shower facilities clean but tired. This is a very popular site and was full when we stayed, but we felt like we were in a bit of a car park not a CAMC site, but perfect for us a stopover.

Great location, but poor pitches and lack of choice over pitch. Avoid on race days!

We arrived at the site on a Monday and hadn't realised that the Eater race was due to happen on the Thursday. We had booked for a week and despite the site being pretty empty we were offered a choice of 4 pitches. There were pitches with cones on which were apparently reserved for units that arrived later and stayed for just a couple of nights. We also noted smaller units being allocated bigger pitches that we had not been allowed to use. We asked for a larger pitch but were told that our pitch was a 7.5m pitch so was suitable for our 7,5m motorhome. The back of motorhome was against hedge and the front was over the road and we were unable to access the bike rack on the rear of the motorhome. The distance between the front of our pitch and the vehicle opposite was extremely tight and must have challenged the 3m fire break rule. This narrowness of the road on a bend had clearly posed a challenge to campers as the grass was churned up and chained off around the roadway. All of this was a shame as this site is a fabulous location for campers with dogs and the town and supermarkets are really close by. The disabled facilities are poor as the floor in the shower room is uneven and doesn't drain well.

One night only.

Stayed for one night on our way South. We were on an economy non EHU positioned beside the pathway around the race course, and right near the park entry/exit. It was fine for one night but due to the position had people walking very closely along either side of the van so little privacy. Facilities were warm and clean, easy access to town centre, and a warm welcome from the wardens. Would stay again if next in the area, but probably opt for an EHU pitch even though we don't need it.

Overnight Stay

A great location for an overnight stay. Efficient admission with instructions as we arrived late the office was shut. Good, clean toilet block - can't comment on the shower as not used. Easy to access the dog walk. Quiet overnight. Would stay again.

Great stop over location

Our first year of motor-homing and found this site to be the perfect location to break our journey north / south. Easy access from M40. Really nice site layout with good choice of pitch types. Great options for dog walking direct from the site as well as short walk into the town for supplies and eating options - as well as the castle. Site hosts (Sally & Steve during our visit) were really friendly & helpful and made sure the facilities were immaculate. Going to be frequent visitors; next stopover already booked!

Great site in the centre of Warwick

We spent one night on an economy pitch without electric hook up which was along side the footpath around the racecourse. Had a lovely quiet night and site facilities are clean and warm. Very friendly staff and altogether a great site.
