Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club

Amazingly accommodating site staff. Shower and toilet facilities were excellent and wonderfully clean. Site in walking distance of Stow-on-the-wold. Food and drinks available on site when the club was open for events. Will definitely be returning

Nothing to dislike

Quiet, nice location, free flow hot water, near a beautiful village, good price, toilets and showers were fine

Pitch not level, no contact from site host so didn't know which pitch was ours - not that it mattered in the end, showers were a bit dirty (hairs on the walls, a big dead spider), no WiFi. Dog poo on the field (not ideal for an active toddler)

We really like the position of the site, close to Stow in the Wold and the lovely views.

The shower and toliet cabins were in good condition and usable, the gents shower was filthy, obviously used by the rugby players as the ladies was not so bad.
The toilets and showers are not regularly cleaned, when we were there someone did have a quick flit round the toilets which was next to pointless.
There are two long stay units plus a static caravan, the area around the campervan and static caravan is very untidy at best.
Pitch sizes are very small, as they have a huge field to use.

Lovely views, near village nice pitch

Showers and toilets not clean

Location is fantastic. Everywhere is either a short drive, or bike distance away. Beautiful views.

Showers and toilet cubicles were not swept out and definitely not cleaned daily, empty shampoo bottles etc on the floor aswell as overflowing bins and dirty toilets ..we were not the only people to complain and got met with a shirty reply saying that her daughter cleaned them on Sunday ( it was wednesday!! ) and when she did clean it the floor wasn't swept anyway ...disgusting !!
Hardstands were very gritty and covered the floor of caravans. Electrics were confusing as to which stand was yours? Some strange caravan permanently parked at the beginning with a very large Alsatian which the guy joked to my friend was vicious and he let it roam across the site without picking up the mess.

Nice setting

The site roads and hard stand were a very sandy material which seemed to get everywhere inside our camper. We stayed here for 5 nights in that period the toilet blocks were not cleaned once. I asked the lady about this and she was very dismissive of my comments and told me they as cleaned everyday. When we arrived there was no electrical connection available to us when I asked I was told the guy that deals with the electric isn't in until tomorrow and suggest I unplug one to plug mine in.... Also the site was littered with dogs mess.

Great location a couple of minutes from stow on the wold. Perfect for visiting Morton in Marsh, Bouton on the Water, steam railway etc.
It is a rugby club, so camping is just a side line.
Friday night there was a large private party at the club which stopped at midnight. Sunday there was rugby being played on the adjacent pitch.
For those arriving for pitches with electric hookup there's a handy board with your placement.
Club has a very hands off approach. No check in. As I never entered the building I never found out whether there was any kind of reception. Possibly at the bar ?
A simple pdf map of the site and where you had to go would have been a benefit, but even if you don't make contact it's easy enough to work out. For those who like to be spoon fed it could be more of an issue.
The place had a good atmosphere and I would stay again based on proximity and cost.

Reading recent reviews the toilets and showers could be clean or dirty. These are typical portacabin type brought on to site. New, well made fairly high spec and all fittings and fixtures as I would expect. 4 units, shower units had 3 nice showers. Units by their very nature are compact. Shows and toilets were reasonably tidy, but only by the grace of the users, not by regular inspection and cleaning. Hand towels and loo roll didn't run out. Urinal cakes and more regular cleaning would have been appreciated.
Overall they were better than I expected. It is a camp site after all.
Having emailed the club, I had to call them to see where my alloted spot was. Turns out they weren't busy so just choose anywhere. How good advice on where to pitch my tent.
Thankfully I'd looked at the aeriel pics so knew where I had to go.
Couldn't find a rubbish bin so it took on my bagged rubbish home in my cool box. Not much of a hardship as it allowed me to recycle.
I'm sure if there was a small bin in the shower unit numerous empty bottles wouldn't have been left in the men's dressing area.
Perhaps dealing with our own rubbish keeps the costs down. Would only be a problem if we had stayed for a week.
In fairness, perhaps I just didn't look hard enough for the bins

We throughly enjoyed our stay even though we only benefited of an evening as we were karting in Rissington during the day.

There was everything we needed, lovely powerful clean showers, chemical toilet disposal, and a fantastic view.

Good location
Good shower

The site was really noisy due to a private party in the rugby club, the other campers were also really loud. No plug sockets in shower room to dry hair

Great spot. - stayed for two nights. - great views, toilets/showers clean and hot! - very friendly site and would stay again for touring the Cotswolds.

Nothing comes to mind.
