Enjoyed my stay

Another enjoyable stay at this site - this time mainly to use it to access the NEC for the Caravan show. The wardens were very attentive and insistant that I didn't park under the chestnut trees that were shedding their conkers! They were quite right - the noise even on my car roof was considerable! This site has a lot to recommend it for its lovely surroundings and great walking for dogs just outside the gate. And of course plenty of interest in Warwick itself as well as the surrounding area. I haven't rated the site for families because I have no idea what they would need these days - although my first trip to this site was 40 years ago when my children enjoyed the castle hugely!

Excellent all round

Stayed 1 night on our way north. Excellent stopover as less than 2 miles from the M40. Wardens are very helpful and welcoming, among the friendliest we have encountered. Site is very well located, a 10min stroll takes you to the heart of Warwick with its many attractions and eateries. There are nice walks in the area including being able to walk (or run) around the racetrack. Facilities are smaller and more dated than some other CC sites, but spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water. Overall highly recommended, this was our second visit and we would definitely return again.

A day at the races.

We were only able to stay for a day at Warwick and this site suited very well. It is situated alongside the town so the shops, castle, canal walks, golf course etc are really close to hand. We have stopped previously at Cheltenham racecourse which is fine but really does feel like a car park. Warwick is a little more interesting. There are the hardstandings around the track but there are also plenty of pitches with hedges and trees around them which adds benefits. The grass pitches are not an issue for motorhomers as they all fall towards tarmac roads so no chance of getting stuck! This is an amazing site if you are attending a race meeting but also a fine place to stop for Warwick and all the local amenities.

Half term singles visit

Just had a 3 night stop over on our way back from Tewkesbury. The satnav took us right to the gates of the racecourse which was great, but there was a shortage of signage to direct us to the actual site entrance from the main road. However we found our way in. Its a quirky kind of site compared to any other we've stayed on, but it was a pleasant experience. We had numerous walks to the town, castle, pubs etc. as well as a splendid canal / river circular walk. There's a bit of aircraft noise though not invasive, and we were on a blue post pitch behind the toilet block which was very large. I don't know what it would be like on the tarmac next to the racecourse.. it certainly had a good outlook but was just.. odd!! An excellent stop over or a sightseeing trip to the area - I think 3 nights was just right. Not much for kids, but unless you were going to the castle, there's not much in the locality either. Definately recommend for us oldies!!

Close to town with good dog walks

This site is located close to Warwick town centre but being on the racecourse there are plenty of walks from the site. Facilities are not top notch as would be expected from a racecourse site, but the toilet block is heated and clean and showers are very good. Many of the pitches are grass, and the hardstanding is on tarmac so not suitable for an awning. The hardstandings overlook the racecourse buildings and appear a bit 'temporary' but are fine for a short stay. Warwick is an easy 1/2 mile walk and there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The castle is well worth a visit, as is nearby Stratford upon Avon (7 miles). Would recommend for a few nights but probably not a long stay.

Great ... but

Superbly located for visiting Warwick town and its attractions. There are a number of walks directly from the site and the canal walk is easy to access. Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Stratford are within easy reach - the bus station is 10 mins walk from the site. The toilet/shower block is maintained spotlessly clean as are the other facilities. However, the pitch we had been allocated with our motorhome was on a large tarmac area, adjacent to the actual racetrack, with no trees or greenery (except the track) to relieve the views. Moreover, the area is completely unlit at night and walking across it in the dark is not very pleasant at all - the ground surface is not visible, there are standing water puddles and some uneven patches. My wife would not walk across it unaccompanied as she was frightened of tripping up. I spoke to the wardens the morning following our first night's stay and we were reallocated a pitch in the main area which had trees, hedges, grass and night-lighting! We were very appreciative of their understanding and cooperation because without that our stay would have been quite unpleasant.

Brief stopover

Booked this site for a couple of nights stopover. Website showed full so phoned site and booked no problem. Was told when booking we'd got a hard standing, being a motorhome no problem - so we thought. We have stayed before for a week several years ago, great location. Walking distance into town and castle, very expensive theme park but worth a visit plenty of history! Buses available very close to site, including the bus station. Canal nearby for walks. Disappointed on arrival to be given choice of three pitches all in the completely tarmaced area despite plenty of grass pitches and dry weather. Were informed going to be full because of show! We didn't question either point as only stopover but wouldn't have been happy with our pitch for longer stay or in the really decent weather. Was warm and we did sit out but it felt VERY like a car park. All that said a good site in a great location.

Little gem

This a little gem of a site we did stay in Oct so not full but it's very well kept, it's close to town centre and the castle, and close to a few good national trust sites, and Stratford is not far 30 to 40 mins away, making this a great place to tour the area we will go back for a week next time as there is so much to explore Also I will highly recommend the 4 penny's pub just up the road and the Tudor inn on the main road Cheers all Top wardens

Great Little Site.... super location

Super for the town and local area. The site seems not to be run at full capacity. The website indicated that it was fully booked when we were there, however there were a good few vacant pitches all week.... possibly due to the limited number of loo's and shower cubicles (3 no. )? The wardens keep the site very well, however we thought the same as roma1 in that review... the CC may be renting/leasing the site and limited in what they may change or invest to improve the site - which is required.

Tired facilities

Lovely site that we have used regularly. The wardens keep the site and facilities very clean however when the site is at capacity the 3 toilets and 3 showers struggle to be sufficient also the chemical closet is near to the dish washing area..time to assess this site and consider bringing it up to the standard of other sites.
