New pitches have too small gravel which makes pitching difficult.
Wardens not helpful with instructions on pitching, as per leaflet given on arrival.
Security on site didn’t exist.
Coved 19 instruction on toilet block very poor.
Noisy road and flight path.
Poor drainage and roads around site.
Worth a visit to see local area
The site is in an excellent position for seeing the local area, close to local buses and reasonably close to train stations. We went for a meal at the Rose and Crown pub in Warwick, dog friendly and taking all necessary precautions. Similarly, in Leamington Spa we found the Royal Pug had excellent food. Both were booked in advance. There are excellent walks from the site with plenty of space for dogs to run around. However, there is some traffic noise. The road within the site became muddy and full of puddles and generally the grounds are not as pleasant as on other sites we have visited. Our grass pitch kept reasonably firm and we were able to move off it with no trouble after a full day of rain. The welcome we got was not as pleasant as we have had previously at other sites this year, and the toilet block facilities were very limited at this time. There was a negative tone to the way COVID instructions, and off-limits areas in the toilet block were presented, compared to other sites. Overall we had a pleasant stay for three nights. We would come again, most likely on the way to somewhere further south as it is a good mid point in a long journey.
A return visit to Warwick
We have been to this site many times and like the location as it is ideal for walking the dogs around the racecourse and for walking into Warwick. The wardens are friendly and helpful and the basic facilities are kept clean.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, and the small facility, only 2 people were allowed into the shower block. This would be fine if there were a separate toilet to use if access to the shower block was denied. Most sites do provide this. Unfortunately, this is not available here.
In the ladies shower block, both privacy cubicles were closed which was disappointing.
There was also a notice asking people not to clean teeth etc in the sinks that were available.
The restriction rules appear to have been interpreted differently throughout the network and wonder whether this is intentional.
Enjoyable three days.
Very easy to find from M40, approx 5 mins. Pitched by racecourse on tarmac which was level & nice views over the course as we pitched front end facing course. Pleasant short stroll into Warwick & bus from outside site takes you to Leamington Spa or Stratford on Avon. Short stroll along racecourse to a large Sainsbury’s if needed. Overall would recommend this site for a few days stay to visit the various towns & attractions. Wardens first class.
Great location
Just spent 4 nights at this well located site, wardens were helpful and we pitched on an awning site, lovely level site and toilet/shower facilities very clean, good system considering the present pandemic. They could do with an update but apart from that were fine. The site itself is very close to Warwick town and Warwick castle. Many pubs, restaurants and takeaways all within 15 min walk. Good for cycling to Leamington spa or up to the Hatton locks. Great park nearby next to canal where you can take kayaks or SuP but car park no good for Motorhome unfortunately as barrier too low. Highly recommend this site will definitely be going back.
Great location
Prior to arrival, good communication received reference covid restrictions and booking in times.
On arrival greeted by cheerful helpful Wardens. Excellent briefing given reference covid restrictions. Superb advice on site and local area given.
Facilities spotless. Excellent walks from site. Approx 10 minute walk into town centre. Lots of places to eat out.
Really relaxing site and area. We stayed on pitch 53 pitched side on to Racecourse. Had some enjoyable chats with people walking on the footpath.
Excellent chat one evening with Wardens, sharing tips and advice on this site and area and other club sites. We will definitely be back again.
Great site, delightful wardens.
Had a recent one night stop at Warwick site, the first of a six site trip and the first since they re-opened. Organisation was excellent and the wardens were very understanding about us not knowing about the new 1.00pm arrival time. The site is lovely with some great pitches where you could be deep in the countryside. A few pitches are on the tarmac opposite the race course and these are alright for a short stay or on race days. We pitched on number 30. Lots of opportunities for walks and an easy 10 minute walk into the town. There were plenty of outside areas at cafes in the town so safe eating outdoors was possible. Good charity and other shops and all were well organised with hand sanitizer and controlled numbers inside. We didn’t use the site facilities but the system for limiting numbers with bands on hooks was efficient. In all a great site for a short stop or a longer holiday with easy access to a lovely area.
Great Wardens
Stayed here first weekend after lockdown great measures put in place to keep us safe facilities open albeit limited entry but never had an issue. Greeted with a great Warden in fact best I have ever come across. Helpful polite and made me feel welcome. Even with my big awning he gave some sound advice instead of simply saying take it down. Close to town and Warwick castle great dog walks. And friendly campers thanks Warwick
Great Site Team
Was greeted with a smile and good welcome. Brilliant site staff that are helpful and polite. The toilet and site are very clean and tidy and it is only a short walk to the Wetherspoons pub. :)
Only tip I can give is to not camp near the race track as its also a public footpath so can have a lot of walkers passing.
