 My family and I have stayed here on two occasions. On each occasion we have stayed on the tarmac at the back of the site which is not the best view (car park) and is on a slope so is difficult to get level. However the facilities are always spotless and there are lots of toilets and plenty of hot water. Be warned it's not ideal for children on site as there are no ball sports and no play equipment/park areas. It is in a super location in terms of being right next to the Conference Centre where we were going for a Christian Convention and right on the outskirts of Cheltenham with a brisk downhill walk into town (15/20 mins). We will be staying here again!

Just returned from an overnight stay at this site, which we booked at extremely short notice - whilst travelling home on the M5! We were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful wardens who thankfully could accommodate us and gave superb directions from Junction 11. We didn't find this route difficult - maybe a little tight as you turn at the railway crossing but nothing too bad - certainly not if you've been to Devon!
The site is as you would expect for a racecourse - yep, lots of hardstanding and with the look of a car park. The views out over the racecourse more than make up for that though, and as other reviews state, the majority of pitches do slope quite dramatically - particularly the one I chose, as I wanted that view! The grass pitches are quite nice though. The site has a very relaxed feel to it even though lots of people use it as a stopover.
The facilities block must have had a re-vamp since some of the previous reviews, as the ladies in particular were very impressive. Lovely large, modern cubicles with a detachable shower head. Luxury! And very clean and powerful too! The mens were not so modern but still the same standard of cleanliness as we expect from CC sites.
We didn't make it into Cheltenham as were only there for the one night; however we did walk into the village (about 1/2 mile walk using the perimeter of the site) and had a meal at the Plough - lovely beer garden. There are 3 pubs in total in the village, all serving food. There is also a public footpath around the perimeter of the whole racecourse (approx 3 miles), which we did on the Sunday morning, ending with a walk through the weekly car boot - which is huge - if car boots are your thing.
I don't know that I would necessarily take children here though, as yes, there appears to be lots of space; however no-one is allowed on the racecourse itself and as its generally a stopover site, there is a fair bit of 'traffic'.
All in all we had a lovely, if unexpected, stay here and look forward to a return visit.

We stayed at this site for 3 nights and overall had a pleasant time. There are good and not so good points about the site. We were able to choose a pitch and selected one right in front of one of the stands. This is on tarmac and I guess it, s a car park when its, s a race day. The views across the course and into the distance are wonderful. If you pitch behind the stand you may not get the benefit of the views.
We did, t use the toilet block but did look inside and it is a bit dated and a typical racecourse toilet/shower block and a bit basic. The wardens do their best to make the most of it though. The wardens couldn, t be more helpful. If you like walking you can walk for miles around the racecourse perimeter.
We went to the site from the west country and the caravan club directions take you off the M5 at junction 11. This route is a bit tight and difficult in places and a lot of care was needed. When we left we took an alternative route which was to go north a bit and join the M5 at junction 9. This was much easier and straightforward and we would use this route in future even though its a bit further for us.
The site is right next to the park and ride so trips into Cheltenham were easy.
The site does slope nearly everywhere, some areas are better than others but in a motorhome you will almost certainly need levelling ramps.
We will certainly visit again

Excellent site with brilliant views over the racecourse.
Right next door to a park and ride which gives regular 10 buses into Cheltenham for £2. 30 free for bus pass.
Toilets and showers could do with a spruce up as they are a bit dated but they were ok no hair dyer but 3 pin plugs available so used my own.
Code to enter the toilets which is fair enough.
Not too many hard standing on the grass section but absolutely loads on the tarmac, so not good if you need an awning which we and many others didn't being a motor-home.
Nearly all had good views except the ones behind the stands, you don't need to ask for one as you go and pick your own which is a much better idea, I hate being told where to go and would rather choose my own and let them know where you are.
Very quite site and you can hear the silence in the night lovely!
Excellent wardens very friendly.

Stayed on this site on our way back from France.
Only stayed for 1 night so didn't really get chance to see much of the surrounding area.
Was greeted by 2 very friendly wardens who gave us a choice of pitches. I choose a level pitch. When we got to our pitch it felt like we were on the course car park! Maybe it is a car park on race days?
We were behind the stand so the views that other people have said are good, we missed out on!
The toilet and shower facilities are a little dated but served a purpose, but the pot washing is not in the same block as the showers/toilets, they are a walk across the site under the 'Desert orchid stand'.
The site lights stay on all night so you will need good blackout blinds.
Was ok just for overnight stop, wouldn't want to stay for more than 1 night, although it might appeal to other people.

Second time we have stayed here and pitched on the grass this time. All pitches are sloping and spacious, midweek anyway. At the weekend the warden created extra pitches, putting two into three, pity really.
We were situated at the furthest end away from the shower and chemical disposal it was a bit of a hike there and back but did not detract from our enjoyment of this picturesque site. The site was immaculate and facilities spotless, thanks to the attention of the wardens.
Hired a car from Enterprise through the club site and the saving and service was amazing, picked up from the site to get the car and dropped off when I returned it,enjoyed visiting Stow, Moreton and the other cotswold villages but found Gloucester and Tewksbury a bit iffy! Park and ride two minute walk and town five minute bus ride away.
The stay was good but wont visit again for a while. It is worth noting this site does not accept club gift vouchers.

There was only one pitch available, a double sloping, scruffy small patch of weedy grass. Just relieved that we were only here for one night. There was a weekend pop concert at the racecourse so it was very noisy. Not for us I'm afraid.
But the facilities were clean and the wardens very friendly. We were only passing though, but if you want the site for a specific reason, then arrive early to get a better pitch than the one we had.

This is the second time we have visited this site, and it's another typical racecourse site with basic facilities which were kept very clean as was the rest of the site. The views are spectacular and it was quiet and relaxing.The wardens were very helpful and friendly, as you would expect on a club site. The park and ride is just outside the site across the car park. Its only a 5 minute bus ride into Cheltenham, were you can get a bus into Tewkesbury or Gloucester. There is so much to do at Gloucester Docks, we spent a full day there.This is a convenient site for a few days stoppover.
TV reception on this site was fair.
We will definitely be staying here again.

We've used this site a number of times now.We find it ideal as a stop-over or for a weekend away.
If you are pitched at the front of the stands,you get lovely views of the racecourse and the Prestbury Hills(.The view's not quite so appealing if you're pitched right behind the stands though!).
The toilet/shower block is a little dated but was very clean and neat,which is what counts in my mind!
The pitches can be surprisingly 'slopey' in places though.
On a previous visit we were pitched behind the stand and by the time we'd levelled the 'van,
We came very close to bottoming out the rear!
The site's right next to the Park&Ride.But it's only a 20-30min walk into the town,down quite a pleasant,tree-lined(if a little busy)road,passing the Pittsville Pump house on route.
For anyone approaching from the north(M5),I would advise them to leave at J9 and come via Bishop's Cleeve and keep well clear of driving through Cheltenham!

Have been at this site twice now just for two nights and is so clean and peaceful. Great views over the race course and beyond,would go back again and stay for a week even with our two kids which are 2&4 Loads to do in the area, just 10mins down the road is a great park with boats, animals and play park as there is not one on site.
