  • 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.

This campsite is praised for its excellent location, offering easy access to Stratford-upon-Avon via bus or a pleasant walk. Visitors frequently highlight the friendly and helpful staff, along with the consistently clean facilities, particularly the hot showers. Pitches are generally well-maintained, offering good value. While some find the pitches a little close together or slightly sloping, and mention the on-site shop has limited hours, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Gillian M.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked A lovely site in a great location.
If travelling with your dog their is a great exercise area near the entrance to the site and a the taxis operating in the area are dog friendly.

Disliked We booked last minute, so the only space available was next to the grey waste and water tap which meant there was a lack of privacy this morning.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very nice site, lovely views and close to Stratford, only a short bus ride into town. Friendly staff who took the time to come and speak to us. Clean toilets and showers. There is a big field at the entrance to the site which was ideal for letting the dog run and the kids to ride their bikes. Would stay here again.

Christopher S.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Location. i.e. Proximity to Stratford-upon-Avon and number 28 bus stop right by entrance. Efficient reception. Nice shower block.

Disliked The shop is only open for 90ish minutes each morning. Another site we visited that was of similar size, amalgamated the shop and reception and therefore guests had access to essentials most of the day. Perhaps Dodwell Park have not found the shop viable on a full time basis?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Christopher,
Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay ! but just to clarify there was a sign on the shop door that said open in the mornings and between Thursday through to Monday open 10am - 6pm by request and to just ring the door bell at reception and the wardens are more than happy to open :)
Many thanks

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.
