Practical Caravan Top 100 Parks Award 2008

Set within walking distance of the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh, this site is a good base for exploring the picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. A little further afield are Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham. However, with an on-site play area, recreation field, games room, crazy golf and volleyball, the family will be as busy on site as off. This club site has the usual high-standard amenities, and you can choose between grass and hardstanding pitches with electric hook-up.

Practical Motorhome independent site reviews Feb 2007

This Caravan Club site is less than ten minutes’ walk from the charming old town of Moreton in Marsh, where there is a good supermarket and a choice of pubs and restaurants. On Tuesdays, Moreton hosts a hugely popular street market. Bus and rail services from the town allow access to Oxford and the surrounding countryside.
The site is laid out with marked pitches, separated by grass and interspersed with trees which lend an open, woodland feel to the site. Almost all pitches are hardstanding and wide enough to accommodate a ‘van and awning (they are also deep enough to accommodate a parked car).
You are free to choose your own pitch, but those alongside the public road edge of the site suffer from traffic noise.
The toilet/shower facilities
are clean, modern and heated. We particularly liked the provision of individual washing cubicles with lit mirrors. Another nice feature is the adaptation of some standard cubicles with rails and hand-holds for disabled use. Each of the facility buildings has a well-equipped toilet and shower for use by the disabled and the door is operated by a ‘radar key’ and a normal lock (the ‘radar’ scheme means one key fits all). For families with toddlers there is a separate bathroom area with scaled-down toilet and bath.

Practical Motorhome Independent Site Reviews.

Just off the A44 Bourton Road, this well-kept site is about a ten-minute, level walk from the lovely Cotswold town of Moreton-in-Marsh. The town boasts several excellent tea and coffee shops, traditional pubs offering superb cuisine and an interesting mix of shops selling antiques, art and clothes.
A lazy morning can be spent browsing, punctuated by frequent stops for tasty food and drinks. A small but informative Aviation museum is only a few minutes walk from the site and a Falconry centre is a short drive away.
Typical of Caravan Club layouts, it has a functional yet pleasant appearance with wider than average tarmac roads. Touring units are sited in two main areas, each with their own wash/laundry building, which include facilities for disabled users. One area has a baby bathroom, making life easier for those with young families. Both blocks are spotlessly clean, with indoor food preparation and dish-washing areas.
There are several pitches that are longer than average to cater for large motorhomes. These are situated near the main entrance, ensuring that they have clear access to the exit and are within easy reach of the motorhome service point.
Although close to the town, views from the site are leafy and rural. A dedicated dog exercise area and children’s play area are situated slightly behind and away from the main site but well away from the busy main road. Several recreational facilities are provided to keep both young and old amused, including a petanque pitch, mini-golf, a climbing frame, volley-ball court and five-a-side football area.
The site is well situated for touring the Cotswold area. ‘Shakespeare country’ and the regency town of Cheltenham are both within easy reach. One disadvantage of this site is the traffic noise which can be heard from the busy main road, although it does have the advantage of easy access because of its position.
