  • Peaceful family-run park two miles from Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Shop, off-licence, free hot showers and spotless facilities
  • Regular bus service from right outside the site
Settle yourselves down here, Shakespeare fans: Dodwell Park is just two miles from Shakespeare’s birthplace, Anne Hathaway’s cottage and all the bardly attractions of Stratford-upon-Avon. There’s peace, there’s quiet, there’s a countryside setting – and if all that still isn’t enough for a final attempt to get the kids (and dog) reading sonnets, you can culture-ise them by taking them along to nearby Warwick Castle for all sorts of horrible history. Sorted. Dodwell Park is a small family-run site where the amenities are kept to spotless standards, with free hot showers, dishwashing facilities and hairdryers to keep the barnet looking tiptop. A shop and off-licence is on site, and armfuls of leaflets are at the information stand with info on Stratford-upon-Avon and other local tourist attractions. Nearby are Cotswold villages with Shakespearely thatched inns, walks and cruises along the River Avon and the hills of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Boating, fishing and old buildings are at Luddington village about three miles from Dodwell Park. Leaving the car behind to avoid hiking up car parking costs in Stratford? A regular bus service stops right outside the site.

Liked: Good location, bus straight into Stratford. Wardens were really kind and helpful. Not a bad little site for a short stopover.

Disliked: Bank holiday weekend and it was far too overcrowded. Facilities just couldn’t cope. Pitches on the small side and a bit of a slope that we couldn’t level even with chocks, and facilities would benefit from some TLC.

Liked: Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was very clean, shower and toilets were clean and tidy. The place was very quiet at this time of year. Bus stop right outside the site, great bus link to Stratford upon Avon and very reasonably priced. Beautiful place to visit, lots of history. A lovely walk around the river Avon. The town was very busy with a lot of tourists.

Disliked: Nothing

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Location, wardens were very helpful & friendly.

Disliked: All the hidden charges that you don’t know about until half way into your stay, we had 4 pitches, we were charged for x4 awnings at £4 per night that we didn’t have, we were told they would be removed from the balence, they was not. We were also charged per dog per night, we have a severely disabled daughter that doesn’t leave the caravan at all as she is fully wheelchair dependant and blind, tube fed and lots of other medical needs and we were charged per night for her too. All these extra charges totalled up to twice as much as the pitch cost which is ridiculous, and they don’t tell you when you book, or when you arrive, they came to us on day 2 and informed us we needed to pay all the charges, which is very very naughty and deceiving of them as you can’t then choose not to stay and pay all these extras! No phone signal on any network

Liked: Good location to Stratford upon Avon, nice clean toilet & showers

Disliked: All the extra charges per night that were not made clear at booking, extra per night per child, extra per night per dog, extra per night per awning, a £29 per night stay ended up as £54 per night! Shop wasn’t open once during our whole 3 days there. No phone signal at all, no wifi or even a television signal, could only watch bbc1.

Local attractions

To Stratford-upon-Avon first: see what the big deal is by catching a Royal Shakespeare Company play before a trip around town to the Shakespeare attractions; buy a Shakespeare Five House Pass to see Hall's Croft, Mary Arden's Farm, Nash's House and New Place and Shakespeare's Grave alongside Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. Many companies offer cruises along the Avon, but to save pennies take a trip on the old chain ferry for 20p, or stay on land and take the mile and a quarter route along the Avon for views of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Shakespeare’s burial place Holy Trinity Church and the Memorial Theatre Gardens. Scores of other walks can be had in the Cotswolds, the biggest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, with miles’ worth of footpath and bridleways broken up by small villages and market towns. The Cotswold Way runs 102 miles south from Chipping Campden to Bath and passes many historical houses and churches. After Warwick Castle, families can have a day out at the Ragley Hall Estate to get lost in the 3D maze, or go to Kenilworth Castle with its kids' audio trail covering the history of the castle and the lovelorn Robert Dudley who built it in the 16th century to impress Queen Elizabeth I. Kids will probably also like the gizmos at Stratford’s MAD (Mechanical Art and Design) Museum, Hatton Farm Village at Warwick or driving you nuts around the world’s biggest collection of historic British cars at the Heritage Motor Centre, which has the Land Rover Experience, a nature path and a playground.
