 This is a nice site in a nice place. Staff really friendly and the facilities were very good.
I know this is a work in progress but when it gets some tree's it should transform the site.
Tewkesbury is a lovely place with the splendid Abbey, some nice shops and some excellent old Pubs.
The Berkley pub is one to visit.

Stayed here for two nights this weekend. We pre-booked one of the new multi-surface pitches(interlocking pavers). Had a great weekend, a lot to do with the location and the weather.
The redevelopment, is in my opinion a success, yes the turves laid are lumpy, but when they have had some rain will bed down properly. The contractors were held back for 3 weeks due to the site flooding earlier in the year, so the completion was virtually the day it opened, so no chance to water anything in.
Comments passed that site now is featureless due to removal of a number of trees. Trees will be replanted in September, they do not want upheaval during the busiest months, as there was no time before opening to complete that task. Only one toilet block now, but we never had to wait for a shower.
Minor grouch, the temp of showers fluctuated slightly from time to time. No big deal, just be aware if you have it up very hot or very cold.

Lovely 2 night stop over in August. Beautiful setting with views of the Abbey and a 2 minute stroll into town.
Site was very busy and the spaces are quite close together, but there was no noise.
Toilet blocks were a little tired and could do with modernising but they were spotlessly clean.

This site is wonderful! It looks beautiful and is peaceful (other than the bells from the Abbey).
All the staff are brilliant, friendly, very hard working and always have time to have a little chat.
The site is all grass but copes with motorhomes of all sizes, in fact I think there were more motorhomes than caravans!
The site toilet/shower facilities are out-dated but are spotlessly clean.
There weren't many children (if any) on the site, there is not a playground on site, but a lovely park right next door.
Situated 5 minutes off the M5 Junction 9.
It is a 2 minute walk into the town centre which is steeped in history, lots to see and do:- museums, theatre, Alleyways, short walks, Antiques shops, local shops, pubs, restaurants, buses to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester and lots of little villages on the way to these towns. The Cotswolds are on the doorstep which is an added bonus.

Beautifully situated across open fields with the glorious Tewkesbury Abbey in full view, this campsite is definitely one of the most superbly positioned sites I've been to. Ideal for dog walking as the adjacent fields are perfect for safe off-lead dog walks plus plentiful dog-poo bins.
Facilities at this site are not up to Caravan Club's usual standard however they are been completely upgraded from October to June 2017. Once completed, this site would achieve the highest rating possible. Hook-ups were easy and plentiful and the site had a very pleasant feel about it.
There were a combination of caravans, motorhomes and a sprinkling of tents. And lots of very well behaved dogs. The bins/water etc. Stations were plentiful, clean and tidy and well signed. It was a bit (very!) irritating to have to carry a bundle of keys with us everywhere - to enter the site and use the facilities block so hopefully, once renovated they will just have the cards - as most sites have.
Wardens were pleasant and very helpful, particularly as my friends' small campervan had a flat battery (on departure) and the warden was only too happy to come and sort it out (huge thanks are due).
One of the best children's playgrounds (local authority owned & maintained) I've ever seen was just outside the entrance gates on the edge of the extensive open grassed area (being mowed as we left) and thankfully there were remarkably few dog messes on the grass.
Tewkesbury is a glorious little town with much to see on foot. The Abbey is stunning, the river walks are a must (even ferry trips on offer). Excellent dog-friendly pubs plus cafe's with outdoor seating making it easy to enjoy a good coffee in the town. A very good market on Wednesday's.
The Tourist Office was one of the best with a wide range of leaflets. It is a town with the most amazing number of charity shops plus a huge number of fascinating and intriguing alley ways - ancient architecture abounds. No one could ever visit Tewkesbury and say there was nothing to see or do!
The surrounding countryside offers visitors plenty of great places to visit and spectacular views.

Good overnight stop off but the site is in dire need of updating. Hard standing pitches for starters would help.
The ground was very soft and there were lots of tyre marks in the grass where vehicles had struggled to get traction. Wash room facilities whilst clean are tired and need an upgrade.
The access isn't great now there is a development on the approach being built and the local council need to chop back some of the trees and bushes that overhang the road.
Motorists on the approach roads seem to park where they want including on double yellows which makes access at busy times very difficult. Then again it was an overnight stopover and we left early on the Saturday. Wardens cheerful and helpful.

Just had 5 days at this site. Although the ground was soft the motor home was parked on pads so no problem.
The wardens were very helpful and very friendly and nothing was too much trouble we will go there again.

Tried for some time to actually get a booking on this campsite and we were not disappointed. The site itself was suffering quite a lot from the excesses of rain and was cutting up in places.
I felt a great deal of sympathy for the wardens with the continuous flow of units coming and going not helping matters, in fact I think it is the busiest site we have been on.
The facilities that people seem to complain about were spotless if not the most modern.
The town itself is well worth a visit, and of course the Abbey.
We had a meal in the local Italian Restaraunt which we can highly recommend.
Would definitely benefit from hardstandings, but I believe the site is council owned so maybe not allowed.
Would we go back there, yes if we can get in.

Excellent site. The location couldn't be better in the centre of Tewkesbury the facilities are good staff friendly and helpful.
Local Wetherspoons is very good too.
We will certainly stay here again as it is a good stop off when going north or south. It does get full so I would advise to book early.

Met by very friendly site wardens upon arrival at the beatifully planted reception adorned with flowers. Our relatives had already pitched up, so we were advised that the pitch next to them would be free the next day if we wanted to stay in another pitch just for the night. This we did.
Facilities were clean, a bit dated but in good working order nonetheless.
Two blocks so there are always showers/toilets available. Quiet site, with plently of space between pitches, mature trees around the perimiter and in the centre added character but did not cause the site to be dark or over shadowed. Well maintained services, recyling, bins, etc.
The location is perfect if you don't wish to drive anywhere as the town of Tewkesbury is a short walk (10 mins) and has plently of shops for provisions or places to eat if you don't' wish to cook! We tried the Indian in the High Street which was OK.
Our first visit, and it's too far for us for a weekend, but will definitely consider this site for another 4-5 day stay, and even longer if we decide to venture out in the car further afield.

Another visit to this lovely site fantastic staff great facilities toilets are one of the best with privacy cubicles and good showers, there are two blocks with wash up laundry and waste disposal, reception sells basics and takes orders for papers. I did not see a play area or any children when we were there. A short walk into town with all the shops you need a supermarket a beautiful home made bread shop and plenty of restaurants, we had the best Indian ever at the Rahj, lovely river walks and boat rides. There is a bus stop at the side of the Abbey which is well worth a visit. We use it on our way south and as a stop off to wind down. I am sure we will be back.

This is a very well kept Caravan Club site, yes the toilet blocks are a bit dated but were always clean and the site grounds maintained as you would expect from the Caravan Club. All pitches are grass and quite a few are very un level ! The site is very well located being just a 5 minute walk from the town centre with all the usual pubs, shops & restaurants (weatherspoons across the road) The downside is the constant industrial machinery noise from the adjacent plant (started at 7. 30am and silence finally fell at 6pm) the other issue was the regimental style in which a couple of the wardens ran the place was seen on numerous occasions telling members off for parking incorrectly and we were shouted at by the man for taking a 5 meter short cut on the one way system, neither were ambassadors for the Caravan Club which is a shame as you rarely come across such rude abrupt CC staff anymore !

It's exactly what you can expect from a caravan club site with excellent security given its close proximity to the centre of Tewkesbury, yes the facilities are dated but they are numerous clean and perfectly functional. Left at the exit from Gander Lane and you will find an Aldi within 2 minute drive, Morrisons near motorway junction, Tesco metro at the other end of the high street. Pub's restaurants and takeaways all within waking distance. Good flat walks along both the Avon and Severn rivers, Ledbury and Gloucester both approx 12 miles away so plenty of options for a change of scenery.
16 amp ehu no issues with free view or satellite reception mainly flat grass pitches, levelling blocks needed for a small number of pitches. Good playground just outside of main entrance for the little ones.

This is probably our 4th visit to this site but, we won't be returning. We've been to Caravan Club sites up and down the country, even in Scotland, but found this to be the worst by far.
As previous reviews have said, the wardens are far to officious and run this site like a military establishment. We'd innocently parked outside of marker post and we genuinely thought the foot we were out really wouldn't be an issue. We were wrong. I had a warden phone me, then a visit by 2 more telling me I'd pitched outside of the marker post and it would need to be moved. The owners of the caravans on the adjoining pitches also had the unwelcome visit.
What should have been a relaxing weekend turned into a trip where we couldn't wait to leave. It was such a shame as the site itself is wonderful. It's location is perfect for a gentle level walk into town. We even managed to enjoy watching a game of cricket at Tewkesbury Cricket Club next door. The restaurants in town seemed plentiful and we enjoyed a fantastic curry in one of the pleasant Indian restaurants.
We really do like Tewkesbury, but we go away for a restful peaceful break after a hard weeks work. Unfortunately, due to the wardens on this site we'll try others nearby, even if it means a 30 minute drive back to Tewkesbury.
