Site is in a fabulous location, within centre grounds of racecourse, with easy walking access into lovely historic Warwick. Both M&S and Sainsbury's are within a ten minute easy walk from the site.
The wardens are very friendly, welcoming and attentive.
Site facilities are spotless clean although looking a bit tired, perhaps could do with a revamp (understand difficultly re being open all year).
Suggest that the site would benefit from more hard standing pitches.
Great dog walking opportunities close to site, more limited on race days.
Looking forward to returning.
Warwick Racecourse site
Friendly and helpful staff
Amenities kept clean but could do with some updating, easy walk into Warwick centre great for dog owners
Will definitely return
Great location for visit to Warwick
As a town site this is really interesting - you walk across the racecourse to get to the campsite! It's only a few minutes walk into the town and to Warwick Castle. We stayed two night, mid-week. We have a large motorhome and had booked hard-standing. We were put at the far end and it felt very much like staying in a car park (which it is), with a chilly walk to the facilities (misty November). The following morning a pitch became available on some gravel pitches, with grass and trees around, and near the shower block. The warden allowed us to move, and I must say our stay was much more pleasant as a result. The tarmac pitches are perfectly functional but not attractive.
The showers are a little dated but again functional, and the facilities were kept very clean.
There is some background traffic noise but you're not in the countryside here, so nothing too extreme.
The warden was very helpful, especially with information on arrival.
We really enjoyed our couple of days here.

Great site
Enjoyed my stay at this site very much where they were very helpful and it was easy to get in good price and I think when I joined the caravan club in the end. Just a really good little site with a beautiful view over the racecourse and were very helpful to me even though I was a late booking. Good facilities and very easy to get into Warwick thanks so much. Possibly my second favourite site. Warwick is so so beautiful.
Small site, near to town, but needs upgrading.
We've stayed at Warwick on several occasions and do like the site however, the site itself does need upgrading. Pitches are mostly grass and many were closed off during our last visit in October. The toilets / showers were spotlessly clean but looking tired. Think the warden was having an off day on our arrival but was more pleasant afterwards. The site can be a little noisy at times from the park behind and the aircraft flying into Birmingham. We were there on race day and were surprised how quiet it was then. 10 minute walk into town and Sainsbury's via the race track.
Warwick stay - some issues
We wanted to see Warwick and surrounding area so we chose this site as it is close to town. On arrival we were made aware of pitch problems by the temporary wardens who appeared quite stressed as many pitches were rutted and waterlogged. There were some hard standing pitches free which we would have preferred but we were told we had booked an awning pitch and therefore had to park on the grass - not ideal in those conditions with a large motorhome. The washrooms badly need upgrading and are poor compared to other club sites although they were kept clean during our stay. Both Warwick and nearby Leamington Spa are well worth visiting the former is a short walk and Leamington a 20 minute bus ride that runs regularly throughout the day. Warwick Castle is a great day out and includes the best falconry display we have seen. All in all a less than satisfying stay, had Warwick and Leamington Spa not been so good we would have left early. Unlikely to return given the poor facilities here.

Weekend in Warwick
Just had another great weekend in Warwick, the site is in such a good location lovely walking for the dog, close to the town centre which is very dog friendly. The locals are so friendly and helpful. Walked to the Fourpenny Hotel Friday evening for a meal excellent food at reasonable price with great staff.
Walked round town on Saturday lots of dog friendly cafes & pubs.
Only downside is you can hear the road noise from the motorway but not enough to keep you awake. The facilities block is dated but kept very clean, shame the hand drier in the ladies doesn't work better.
Once again a lovely site spoiled by selfish members, someone had let their dog mess right by the drinking water tap! We were pitched next to it and as we have a dog felt the need to clean it up just so people didn't think it was us. If you can't look after your dog then you should either not have a dog or not visit club sites, you just give other dog owners a bad name with your selfish acts.
Great location
Some aspects of this site may not be perfect for everyone but this is more than made up for by its great location. A grass pitch in very changeable weather in late September may be avoided by many in this age of hard standings but for us with a caravan it was not a problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay particularly the easy walk into Warwick, walking around the racecourse with the dogs and even the supermarket is in walking distance.
There are many other places to visit in the area with Stratford only a few miles away and the rest of the Cotswolds easily accessed by road. The wardens could not have been more helpful and the facilities very clean.
Stopover - Good for Visiting Warwick
We stayed a couple of nights, the site is compact and busy and has a temporary feel to it. Its great for visiting Warwick Town (Walkable) with its many resturants and good range of shops. Warwick Castle is also a great day out,the Archery and Bird demonstrations are not ot be missed - a full day (10 - 4). Staff at the site were efficient and kindly offered 2 for one CAMC vouchers which made what would have otherwise been an expensive day out, good value.
Holiday stay
Stayed here for five nights, in August 2017. Wish we had never bothered. Unfriendly welcome from owners and trouble with gypsys, trying to get on site.
Owners through out the stay not friendly and had a go at my wife because she forgot the code for the lock on the gate.
Pitches not very tidy and overall a waste of five days holiday.
Warwick a lovely town and visited castle, but would have stayed else where if we new about gypsys trouble in advance.
