Storm Katie Aftermath
We were due to stay at Tewkesbury as an overnight stop en route to the South West the day after Storm Katie hit the UK over Easter. On the morning of our arrival we were called by one of the wardens to inform us that the site was on flood alert and there was a high likelihood that it would be evacuated. We were given the choice of cancelling or going ahead with the booking. We decided to stay with the booking and arrived on site mid-afternoon. We were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful wardens who ensured that we were aware of the evacuation procedure and we were given an evacuation plan. We were also directed to the least water logged pitches and advised how to park in case we needed to be towed off the pitch (we have a large motorhome). Throughout our stay the wardens kept us informed of the impending flood situation and made a point of walking round the site and knocking on everyone's doors to keep them updated. We left the site on our schedule day of departure with an hour or so to spare! The wardens work was very much appreciated by both of us. On a more negative point I think the facilities blocks look a little tired and could do with modernising/ upgrading, but overall I would highly recommend this charming site in its wonderful location (apart from when the river floods of course!).
