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.
Location ,Location,
Have been to Warwick racecourse a few times now ,have always been met with a friendly welcome ,its location is great right next to the town and great dog walks on the park next to it ,have not been on a race day but we are intending to do so next year already looking forward to it .
Warwick again
Like many reviews, we agree with comments about the facilities, which really do need updating, and it is true that many of the hardstandings are in what appears to be a car park. We understand that there will be more hardstandings created on the more attractive part of the site and look forward to seeing these. However, due to the position of the site which has easy access to good dog walking and the town centre, as well as the friendliness of the wardens and the cleanliness of the facilities, we will be visiting this site again.
First visit ..... and last
When you look at pictures this site on the web its quite appealing, but when your there its a different picture. There are 2 water points on site, one has no soak away and so is constantly a mud bath. the hard standing is on the car park, teared seating behind you and the racecourse in front, that was to be expected from the pictures. what isn't obvious is the public dog walk around the course, and at night there are some shady characters 3 feet from the caravans. at no point did we feel safe in bed, and we didn't leave the van for long in the day time. The barrier security is a joke, a couple of gates secured with a combination bike lock! some people love the site, we hated it. The only saving grace is its location. but never again!!!!
Thanks
I have titled this review "Thanks" as I found the wardens on this site were excellent, they helped us out with an electrical problem and I just want to say thank you. These two people really do go above and beyond.
Great location and easy to get to
Stopped over for an afternoon and night on my way south. Very warm greeting from the staff and a good explanation of the facility. I chose a pitch next to the race course on the hard standing. Needed ramps to get level, but plenty of room. Although people walk round the track just the other side of a waist high fence, had no troubles and if you like people watching, fantastic! Walk into the shops in town is not very long, but is uphill. Wide selection of shops and places to eat. As your in the centre of the race track, plenty of room for exercise if you so wish.
Would recommend and will be returning again on my travels

A racing certainty!
We decided to visit Warwick after previously living there for 30 years. We had used the magnificent facility which is called St Mary's Lands, within which are Lammas Fields Common, a 9 hole golf course, a rugby pitch, caravan park all encircled by the racecourse many times over the years but never as a caravanner. What a great central position, for dog walking (miles and miles of walks), for visiting the town with all is pubs or cafés and antique shops or for visiting the castle. Yes of course there are a few drawbacks with the site but there are always comprises with any site you visit. We found the facilities acceptable and yes the site was full and busy, but wherever we go we always adjust our use of the facilities to suit. The site is what it is and it's very unlikely that any more land will come available. We'll done the club!
Great site in ideal location
Excellent location, great friendly wardens who are very knowledgeable of the local area
Super dog walk next to site
Up hill walk to town which is definitely worth a visit., downhill back to site. Buses outside site
Only downside the shower block is too small for the site when full but apart from that excellent over site.
Close to Town, ideal Stop Over, very friendly Wardens / Staff
Clean however pretty seasoned facilities could do with a make up.
Only one sink to wash dishes and, being right next to the grey water disposal drain and the chemical toilet disposal is not necessarily optimal but could be easily improved.
Still, we will call in again.
P.S. potty that some of the dog owners let they’re dog pie against the water tap pipe’s and the support pole at the reception, this is however is not Warwick specific, it happens on other sites as well, we often wish that the pet owners which obey the rules would remind their follow pet owners to be considered.
