This campsite is in a great location and only 10 minute walk from Warwick Town centre and the castle. However, our weekend away was spoilt by 2 things.
1. VERY loud event at the race course that went on way past closing hours. We understand this is out of the sites control however we wish we would have been informed by the site who knew of the event as this was like being at a pop concert, all day!!
2. Our pitch location seemed to be in a carpark. We booked without awning as we were only there 2 nights. There are some secluded beautiful pitches on grass and in the trees but there seemed to be about 10 of us in a tarmac carpark, right next to the racecourse public footpath. There was no privacy and it felt insecure as anyone could come in from the public footpath and could see in your vehicle. It didnt feel like you could relax. Would be so easy to install a barrier and make people feel safer but this tarmac area really is awful.
We would return to the site as the location and town are great and facilities clean but our advice is book an awning pitch, even if you don't need it so you get the nice secluded pitches and not the carpark!
Amazing Site
3 nights on this site but we wished we had booked for longer. The location is superb. Less than 10 minutes to Warwick centre where there are plenty of bars and restaurants and the same to the castle. In the middle of the racecourse is a 9 hole golf course with a club house where you can relax and have a drink with lovely views. The site managers, Kath and Roy, are so helpful and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything you want it to be. We put our awning up on the wrong side (our fault) but Kath helped us to turn it round without having to take it all down without it even being a problem . All this while seeing to other clients arriving.
I had a major problem with my knee and if it wasn’t for Kath and Roy i would not have been able to get about as Kath kindly lent me her walking sticks and constantly made sure I was okay.
The site is absolutely immaculate and all the facilities are in the one block. We could not recommend this site and the site managers highly enough and will definitely return . Thank you Kath and Roy.

A Favourate Site
This has to be one of our favourate sites, it is so convenient for the town yet seems in the country and a bonus if you happen to be there on race day. The wardens our the nicest couple and look after you very very well. I have to disagree a bit with the previous reviewer about the rules but understand his comments. The pitch pegs our now placed towards the left edge of the pitch, this is something I have personally been asking for from the club in the last year or so. The pegs now allows a Motorhome (as well as a caravan) to take full use of the pitch because this leaves a large area to erect a drive away awning, where as before it would encroach over the allotted pitch and you would or could be asked to take it down. I have friends that had given up using the club sites because they were asked to take down their awning, This was a daft situation because there was always a strip of land the other side of the Motorhome that was not useable, well done Warwick and Hawes (who are doing the same thing). Now I do understand that those Motorhomes with the continental design (doors on the drivers side) will have to park nose in, sometimes if its a hedge then the view maybe restricted but that's not always the case and the same applies to them in that they have a very large area to erect an awning or spread out should they wish, we used to have a continental style Motorhome but in the end had no intention of travelling abroad (which after all is what it is designed for) so changed it. Anyway I guess you cant please all the people all the time but its a thumbs up for me and a big thank you to the wardens who have applied it.

Convenient site, but too many “rules”
Friendly wardens, hampered by far too rigid rules about how to park. Had to go nose in, so my view was a hedge for a week. Friend had rear lounge, so her view was the hedge as well. Need to rethink this rule, as many continental vans now. Facilities spotless, but too few for the number of pitches. There needs to be safety handrails in each cubicle - available in only one. Need to have seats in shower, as difficult to get dressed in shower with very wet floor. I was lucky to have a nice pitch, but some others were not so great, tarmac or gravel. Only two taps, so quite a walk to fill up. Usually many more at Caravan Club sites. This being said, it’s a very nice site, near good dog walking and near to town.
Perfect site for us
We have just spent 2 days at this site, our "First" CAMC site since joining, we needed it to be very close to shops/town as wife is disabled and we will not use buses, it was perfect only 5 mins walk to all amenities. We were a little worried based on all the negative reviews about the attitude of Kathy, (the site has its rules and it seems to me if you follow them everything is fine) however she could not have been more helpful as was her husband, we were in the queue to enter site and he checked with us and once he was aware of the wife's requirements he immediately reserved a pitch right next to the entrance and facilities etc. Once we had checked in he helped us park up and get our motor level etc. We had a lovely chat with the owners after the main rush of visitors had passed, they explained how to get to places and how to pre-request a suitable location at future sites etc.
There was a friendly squirrel that would come right up onto the steps of our motorhome in the morning and after a bit of bread was given it was waiting for us the next morning.
We will be returning again very soon
Won’t be back
I guess it had to happen one day, an unpleasant experience after 12 years caravanning, UK, France, Belgium, and eight years Caravan Club staying at several club sites. It’s a pleasant enough site in itself, and a handy location, and well kept, but really let down by a member of site staff that really needs customer care training.

Excellent Campsite
Staff are very friendly and very helpful. They do a marvellous job keeping the facilities perfectly clean and looking like new. Being inside of a rage racecourse mean you feel safe that the children have scope to run around without any worry from vehicles and the same for dogs. We made a mistake of walking the dog around the site, as dog walking is just outside and was informed of this very politely by a staff member. We would have stayed longer but it was a shame they was fully booked due to the start of the Grand Prix starting the next day very close to the site. The staff tried everything they could to accommodate us and we are looking forward to return to this site. I would recommend it for anyone.
Lovely site
We have recently spent four days at this site and found the wardens to be very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Site facilities kept very clean. Warwick is a very historic town with lots to explore and easy walking distance from the site, we hope to revisit in the future.
A Good Stay
An excellent site situated in the centre of Warwick Racecourse, ideally suited for visiting historical site's in the area.
Roy and Kath are very obliging and always ready to help if asked.
The site which is owned by the Racecourse is kept by them to a very high standard, which includes the aging toilet facilities.
The only problem I have seen is caused by Members arriving early before 1pm and parking causing an obstruction at the end of the access road.
I have stayed on this site on a number of occasions and will be returning in July 2022.
Relaxing
We have just come back after a weekend break. We booked this site as booked to visit the castle on Saturday. Arrived Friday and left Sunday. We booked an awning pitch so not to be put on the tarmac.
So relaxing. So quiet. So chilled.
The wardens are so friendly and helpful.
Can not fault this site and will definitely return for a weekend break.
