 This is an update of my 2013 Review
To Find Site:- Leave M40 at junction 15 and take A429 towards Warwick. In about a mile watch for a left turn into Shakespeare Avenue signed to the Racecourse. At the end of the road turn right into Hampton Street. Continue past Racecourse Stands and turn left into Bread and Meat Close, from here the entrance to the site is in view across the racecourse. If coming from the Coventry direction on the A46 bypass continue to junction 15 and then as above to avoid coming through town.
The Warwick Racecourse site is convenient as it’s quite a short walk into the town. Like all racecourse sites it does not quite match up to the normal standard of Club sites but this one probably comes a bit closer. There are 58 pitches on a mix of grass, gravel hardstandings and tarmac.
When booking the non-awning pitches they are generally on hardstandings, stone or tarmac, check out the site plan on the CMC website. Depending on conditions motorhome are usually accommodated on the hardstandings. Electric points are convenient to pitches and are rated at 16 amps and use CEE17 blue connectors.
The main facilities are located in the reception building including a small laundry room which doubles up as an information point and behind the office is the toilet/shower block which whilst kept perfectly clean is of an older design. A semi enclosed washing up area, but only one sink, fresh, waste water and toilet waste points are situated around the outside of this building.
This is only service point on site but there is another tap at the other end of the site. For motorhomes there is a grey water dump point, unfortunately with a heavy metal drain cover which has to be lifted. It is also slightly awkwardly situated if an adjacent pitch is in use. Additionally there is a tap for refilling fresh water tanks. Recycling provision is at the site entrance. There is no WiFi on site, the 4G is reasonable as an alternative. Access to the site will be restricted on Race Days and dates are published on the CMC website.
The major advantage of this site is its close proximity to the centre of Warwick which is a short walk away and the Castle a little further on. If visiting the Castle it is cheaper to buy the tickets online beforehand rather than on the gate. There are many restaurants and takeaways in the town. For food shopping there is an M&S Food store near the Bus Station and a larger Sainsburys within walking distance.
For excursions further afield Royal Leamington Spa, Stratford upon Avon and Coventry are within reach by public transport. The actual Racecourse provides the opportunities for walks and for exercising dogs.

A fairly small site conveniently situated on Warwick Racecourse, check on website for racedays as access is restricted, and some pitches not available.
There is a range of awning(grass) pitches and non awning which are hard standings or tarmac.
Some grass pitches are tight for long vans.
We received a friendly welcome and were given a choice of pitches.
Facilities are clean with plenty of hot water.
The site has plenty of walks as you can walk around the racecourse area, wwhere there is a 9 hole golf course and plenty of open spaces for dogs.
Its a short walk to the lovely town centre with a good choice of pub, shops and restaurants.
There is parking in town but limited and not free! We just walked into town.
There is a fairly large Sainsburys five minutes walk from the site.
Buses run from outside the site or from the centre bus station. There are frequent services to Coventry, Leamington Spa and Stratford.
Warwick Castle is within walking distance, worth a visit.
The site is a few miles from the M40 so is used for night stops
Its location makes it great for motorhomers as the town is so close.

Excellent location for stop off from M40. Well located for the town centre and Sainsbury's. Toilet and shower facilities clean and functional but a bit tired and not quite usual Caravan Club standard.

Good location for visiting Warwick, but site felt quite regimented and even though our motorhome was less than 7m we still struggled to fit onto the pitch we were allocated without overhanging the road.
We chose this site because we wanted to use a free site voucher but when we tried to pay with it we were very rudely told that being a racecourse site they don't accept them and that we should have already (somehow!) known this (it wasn't mentioned on the voucher itself).
The site facilities would have been ok for a site about half the price, but were not up to par considering the price we paid.

This is a nice little site on the outskirts of Warwick with easy access from the M40 (follow Club route instructions in site book). Shower block although small and a bit dated is kept very clean. There are hardstanding (gravel or tarmac) non-awning pitches or grass pitches if you want to put up an awning. Wardens were very nice and polite and keep the site looking good.
For Motorhome owners we should mention that the waste emptying point was not easy to access and could do with re-designing but this is not the first time or probably the last that we will come across this on campsites. We do wish campsites would give a bit of thought to the users.
You can walk into the centre of Warwick in less than 10 mins where there are numerous pubs, restaurants, shops, tea rooms and bars but unlike most places these days a lot of them are independent and not part of a chain. We had an excellent evening meal in the Tilted Wig Pub (it is not called the Twisted Wig as a reviewer below has stated) however we would recommend booking if you want to eat inside. There is also a large outdoor area in front of the pub as it is on the square which would be very nice in summer I expect.
We visited Warwick Castle which was very good but a warning to those of you who are not easily parted with your cash – it is expensive! but if you have kids or grandkids it is a must. The Club however had two-for-one vouchers in the Information Room so this will help. We also visited the Canal Trust and walked all around the Town. There are also gardens to visit but we ran out of time.
We would highly recommend this site and would definitely visit again.

Our second visit here for an overnight on our way north. Very convenient as less than 2 miles from M40. A 10 min stroll takes you into the heart of Warwick with an abundance of eateries and pubs plus of course the castle. You can walk from the site to the canal (we didn't have time to do this ourselves) and the walk around the racecourse itself is a nice stroll. Facilities are smaller and more dated than at some CC sites but as always were spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water. The wardens here provide a very warm welcome, one of the friendliest we have had on the network. All in all highly recommended.

The site is a gem. Its actually on the racecourse and just a short walk to town. Loads of eating places, we went to Chopstix and Giovsnni's both excellent food. Walking distance to the castle which was well worth a visit. Leamington Spa just a short drive away is also worth a visit. National Trust sites within a few miles.
Site is not very big and the washrooms small but up to the usual caravan club standard.
Would definitely go again.

We spent 2 nights there as it was convenient for a visit to the NEC motorhome show.
On arrival I was told that we had booked a grass pitch. This was unknown to me and I've never fully understood the Caravan Club differentiation between pitches with or without awning. I'd booked the last available pitch which was one with an awning (even though we don't use one) and all became clear as the grass pitches could take an awning and the tarmac pitches couldn't!
Yes, that's right the non-awning pitches are on tarmac, which I believe is used as a car park when races are held. Obvious now.
Anyway, the 'van ahead moved on to a corner pitch and we set up alongside. We'd already connected up and were having lunch whilst the other folk were still manoeuvring their motorhome back and to. In the end they moved elsewhere and another motorhome moved on to the corner pitch. Some time later, they too moved off and it transpired that the pitch was very boggy and they kept sinking.
So be warned where you set up.
Anyway, the new wardens were very friendly and chatty and the facilities were fine.
We visited the Mill gardens, which were a delight and ate in ASK, where the food and atmosphere was rather disappointing.
I think it's a good site, location wise, if you're visiting for something specific, it's just not one of the CC's most glamorous sites, but it is excellent value.

A warm welcome from the Wardens. Clean Facilities. Good Location. Excellent dog walking area.
We visited Warwick Castle, it is best avoided during the school holidays. It is a pity Merlin do not look after the artefacts as well as the National Trust do.
Lord Leycester Hospital, is worth a visit and much information can be provided by the lovely gentlemen who are on the reception desk and live there. Be aware it may be closed some afternoons and evenings due to private hire.

Just spent 3 days at this site. It was very unusual being next to a racecourse! But there are only about 21 race days a year so never saw any races. The site was immaculate and the staff very friendly and helpful. We like to do a bit of easy cycling on the flat and the wardens have directions already printed out for the cycle ride to Hatton locks. It was so easy to get to. I think it was about 2 miles to the canal and maybe another 2 miles along the many locks. We had lunch in a nice café there by the canal. It was also easy to cycle around Warwick. Warwick is lovely. It is so compact and easy to walk around and see everything. We visited the Mill Street open garden which was idyllic and had a great view of the castle and I also visited the Hill Close gardens which are just outside the entrance to the site. We didn’t go inside the castle this time. I thought you could walk around the grounds for free but you have to pay - but it is a stupendous castle! St Nicholas Park is lovely and has everything that you would need –lots of amusement for children there –and again it is within easy walking distance from the site. We hired a motor boat on the river. We enjoyed having a drink in the Market Square. When the sun was shining we preferred to sit outside Wetherspoons or the Twisted Wig as Rose and Crown was in the shade but we did go there one evening. We ate at Spice Hut in Market Place –it was ok but not very spicy. We went to Micatto restaurant in the Market Place –nice food if you don’t mind being ripped off! Next time we go we will try the many restaurants on Smith Street. We went to the New Bowling Green pub on St Nicholas Street as that had a nice beer garden at the back.
