Start of season.

1st trip of 2023.couple nights on way to Baltic Wharf. Easy to find and handy for town and buses. Lots potholes and puddles. Toilet block ventilation is noisy and not very effective. Water hot but all looks very tired and a bit shabby.good job its not more expensive !! Staff pleasant.

A lovely stay and a great site. We will be back.

We had booked a long time ago, planning to visit Stratford Christmas Market. Having seen the mixed reviews we were a little apprehensive. However, it was all brilliant, so need to worry! The couple that manage it were very welcoming and friendly on our arrival. There were even lovely home made cakes for sale at reception, which were delicious. The site is literally smack bang in the middle of the racecourse, so quite a special and scenic spot. It is literally a stones throw walk into Warwick though, across the race course and up the road. Warwick is lovely, with some fine choices of pubs and dining. We had one of the gravel pitches. Some reviewers had moaned about the amount of gravel, but it was no issue for us at all. The toilet and shower block was immaculate and cleaned to perfection every day. The people managing this site are lovely and I made sure to say a big "thank you" for all their hard work and letting us have a later check out, which enabled us to do a lovely snowy walk with the dog, then have brunch before leaving. We did the Park Run on Saturday morning too, which starts about 100 metres from the site. That is a great event too, if you fancy a nice sociable, fast 5 km run on Saturday morning! The only slight downside of our whole stay was the time it took to get the bus in to Stratford. The bus stop is just up the road, but the bus was very late and the road into Stratford was chaos, so it took over an hour! Been quicker walking... Highly recommend a visit to the Warwick Racecourse site. Lovely location, close to the pretty town and lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. Thanks. Neil, Susie, Rosie, Isabel and Bobby the dog (plus our friends in their 4 outfits as well).

Good location

Well situated for walking into town and canal. (excellent for races but unfortunately they got cancelled day we were due to go). Despite what others have said, found wardens friendly and efficient. Not sure I'd want to be on one of the pitches beside the racecourse as that is just a concerte car park, but we got one of the hardstanding pitches a the back of the site which was good.

A site of 2 halves

As the title suggests it depends on where you pitch how your experience is. We pitched by the racecourse rails on the tarmac. We chose that as it was raining and the ground by the pitches was soft and muddy as other vans had driven over the edges. There wasn't a race meet on and one wasn't due for some days so thought it would be nice and quiet. It wasn't, there is a pathway along the length of the course that is open to the public. It was a constant stream of folk walking, jogging and dog walking within a couple of feet of the van. We were woken at 6am by some inconsiderate person out walking his dog and on his phone loudly having a conversation. After that it was difficult to get back to sleep as more and more folk walked by, many having conversations or shouting on their dogs. At 07.30 the race course started up a noisy leaf blower machine and proceeded to drive it around the enclosure at the rear of our MH. This went on for over an hour, by which time we had given up on anymore sleep and got up. Not what I wanted after a very long drive the day before. I appreciate there is nothing the club could do to stop this and it's not their fault. Thankfully we were only there for one night, if it was for longer we would have moved pitches. The site is well looked after, the facilities old but warm and clean. The wardens on duty were very nice and friendly. The site is well placed to visit the town and the areas around it. Just be careful where you pitch.

Fantastic Stay & a lovely welcome

Arrived after a 3 hour drive to a very welcoming & accommodating couple who let us choose which pitch we wanted. Explained about the fireworks display & entertainment that was happening that we did not know about. Helped with where we needed to be & everything we need to know. Lovely couple doing a great job. After reading other peoples complaints I just think you cannot please everybody all the time & especially people who want home comforts. Thank you for a lovely stay in our hired camper van first experience from midnorfolkmotorhomehire

Not so good

We have used this site over a number of years, we are from the area and Warwick has a lot to offer visitors, the castle is the star attraction. However we paid top prices due to a half term stay and it brought home what is lacking on the site, no site WiFi no TV reception and clean but very basic and limited facilities. New gravel on some of the hard standings was so deep and soft that vehicles were sliding and unable to grip on the surface. We use the site because of it's central position but as a site it's become a lot less appealing and expensive.

Disappointed

Not a good site. Wardens not helpful and like staying on a car park. It was a two night stop on a longer trip, but wouldn’t use it again. I’d thought of stopping again on my way home, but decided against it and stopped elsewhere. Hopefully next year will have more friendly and helpful wardens.

Final Visit to Warwick

Just returned from our final visit to this site We have decided the CMC no longer offers value for money, the new booking system is a nightmare and the rules and wardens on site are so inflexible it is no longer the club for us We decided to go to our favourite site one more time before our membership ends in November, I tried to ring the site to book but just got a recorded message saying book online. As we were at home I went online and booked the pitch and paid in full for it which was fairly easy but if we were touring and wanted to do it I would not be happy doing it on my mobile phone I do not think it is an improvement When we arrived just after 13.00hrs we were behind about 10 other vans but the warden was outside and as we had pre booked and paid we did not have to go into reception, we chose our pitch filled up with water and I went back to tell the warden which pitch we were on The facilities are very old and dated but they are kept clean as you would expect The price is not good value for money we paid £23.30 which has gone up by £4.00 from last year, I know the cost of electricity has risen and the club has raised its prices due to this but if we had gone the previous week during half term the coste was £33.00 per night! The wardens were OK but speaking to others on site they had problems, one couple could not get a tv signal on their pitch and when they asked if they could move they were told only onto another pitch as booked (grass awning) if they wanted to swap pitch type they would have to re-book and pay again! This was ridiculous as by Wednesday the site was nearly empty .Another couple arrived on Wednesday but had not booked, they got a telling off from the warden and told they must pre-book on line. This is not what the club should be about it should be a touring club so you can turn up and if there is availability you can stay On our departure day the warden was round chasing us offf site as she was closing the gates to stop anyone arriving early. I get the club has changed arrival times but I do not understand the new way of the wardens enforcing the rules like a miltary exercise, when we joined the club ten years ago wardens were friendly and could make their own decisions on making your stay better but it seems this is no longer the case they just have a pre set rule book which is no longer customer friendly Such a shame but as they have got so many members I am sure we will not be missed

Needs updating

The wardens were fine, and yes there are rules but alot of these are imposed by the Racecourse, its a shame people can't stick to the 5mph!! However this site needs updating. There is no WiFi or TV signal, the facilities whilst clean need updating and the chemical waste disposal is so close to the washing up area that the smell whilst one person emptied their loo was awful. The deep shingle on some pitches is really not good as it made pitching our motorhome difficult with wheel spinning and levelling. This could potentially damage my outfit and is awful. Warwick itself is nice for an afternoon stroll but not much else but the bus to Stratford on Avon was good. Would only use this site as a stopover.

Unwelcoming

Seriously? You need new wardens on this site . I have stayed on many CAMC sites and have never been made to feel more unwelcome. Brusque, officious and quite frankly rude. First greeting : not 'hello' but .'Stand outside!' (only one other person in office ) Why do they need to ask several times if you are the driver or passenger of a unit for example? ,What difference can that even make when you sign in? Was it because I am female, I wonder.. ? .. and two nights booked on two bookings,? ( yes because the system wouldn't let me book the same pitch for two nights as only one of each was available , ) greeted with a big sigh.. 'well you'll have to wait until tomorrow so we can tell if you need to move ' ( despite there now being pitches for tomorrow available to book on website today, but no cannot swap a pitch with awning for one without, meaning we definitely wouldn't have to move then , even though it was available to book 'because someone else may want it' Then later on, Why did they not believe my partner that the gents toilet block combination lock wasnt working and just kept repeating the number loudly to him rather than checking it out? Then on him going back because it definitely wasn't...huffed and sighed .. . You do get a nice sheet with all the rules highlighted in Bold though , so make sure you read it and do as it says ! Site itself is handy for the town , cannot fault that and facilities perfectly adequate.. .But the 'hard standings' have been given a layer of thick shingle which makes it really difficult to get on or off without spinning wheels or depositing shingle all over the road and for using leveling chocks . I have never had to leave a bad site review before.... I wont be back here to leave another one
