Touring pitches (added by manager 07 Jul 2021)

Hard standing pitches do not have grass edges or borders

Peaceful park with easy access to Stratford-upon-Avon
Within the race course for easy access to races and events
Several pubs within a mile and a half

Located on the western fringes of Stratford-upon-Avon, Stratford Racecourse Touring Park is a place with spacious and level pitches that are equally well placed for easy race day access or some time wandering around Warwickshire. Close to the banks of the Avon and set in Shakespearean countryside, Stratford Racecourse Touring Park is only 20 minutes' gentle walk from the thespian tours and treats of central Stratford-upon-Avon. And, with a name like Stratford Racecourse Touring Park, it's a sure bet you'll be near the geegees too. In fact, equine aficionados, you'll be pitched in the racecourse itself, with plenty of surrounding space in the centre for small racers to let off steam – and you'll get free race-meeting tickets tacked onto your pitch price if you book for two days, one of which is a race day. (Plenty of other events accumulate at the racecourse too year-round such as a motorhome show and a beer and cider festival: you may well wish to pitch up for a lengthy sojourn.) Amenities include a modern loo and shower block, a launderette, Calor gas sales, washing-up facilities and water points; for feed, trot to one of the several on-form pubs within a mile and a half.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Fantastic location within very easy reach of the town centre. Facilities lovely and clean, showers nice and hot. As it's a racecourse location, it's very flat making it very accessible. Staff were super friendly and went out of their way to show where the dog walking areas were. Can stroll into town within 15-20mins

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very convenient to walk into Stratford (about 20 min walk) & nice and clean toilets / showers. Also sensibly priced

Disliked: A bit unlevel in places, so tricky to get camper level, even with the ramps. Also quite open, so not all that private

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very helpful and friendly warden. Site super clean with all the amenities. We booked no hookup as there was none available at booking, when we got there we were able to book for hookup, but we had not taken our hookup lead lol. Not the sites fault, but moral of the story is be prepared take your hookup lead just in case 😉 All in all we had an amazing stay and the site was perfect to explore the area.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Following recent flooding site staff kept us appraised of developments before arrival. Attentive good natured staff. Considering recent floods the touring pitches, facilities and racecourse were a credit to all concerned.

Disliked: Our only dislike was we couldn't stay longer.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The site was very quiet despite the amount of people staying there. There was plenty of space in between the vehicles so it never felt cramped. All the other people we met were lovely and considerate. The toilets and showers (in a large facility \ block) were dated but kept very clean. The shower cublicles are huge and the water was nice and hot.

Billy J. Aug 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Toilets and showers were clean enough.

Disliked: Lady on reception was a little rude, told us to pitch up our tent anywhere Inbetween the roads, once pitched up asked us to move an extra two meters away from next doors van, which wasn’t a problem it was the way she said it which wasn’t very pleasant It’s also a long way from the city centre and there isn’t an on site shop to get anything you may have forgotten. Bins were overflowing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, I am sorry you felt the warden was unpleasant when asking you to move your tent away from another unit, you were asked to allow a minimum of 6 metres between yourself and any other unit, we do insist on the 6 metre rule for everyone’s comfort and safety

Local attractions

It's less than a mile from Stratford Racecourse Touring Park to the cottage of one fairly famous Miss Hathaway, and a 20-minute meander on a direct path along the greenway and the Avon bank to reach the shops, pubs, restaurants and Shakespearean sights of Stratford. Stratford-upon-Avon is of course the place for Shakespearean scholars the world over. Spend a couple of days around the main Shakespeare attractions in town – Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Shakespeare's Grave, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Hall's Croft, Mary Arden's Farm, Nash's House and New Place – and then catch a show at either/both of the RSC's theatres, the Royal Shakespeare and the Swan. The charity Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust keeps books, manuscripts and other interesting Shakespeare items in its Shakespeare and local collections. Also in Stratford, try to take a flutter at Butterfly World, Europe’s biggest butterfly collection, and check out nightly ghost tours at independent museum Tudor World. Those who fancy undramatic countryside walks can tackle part of the 146-mile Shakespeare's Way from Stratford to London's Globe Theatre via Oxford, the Cotswolds, Blenheim Park, the Grand Union Canal Walk and the Thames Path. More flutters can be had at the year-round meets of Warwick Racecourse less than ten miles from Stratford, and take time too to see the topping castles in the region: Warwick Castle, filled with family fun and events all year round, and Kenilworth Castle, described by an eminent historian as 'the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages'. More history? Try National Trust houses like Charlecote Park, the award-winning blacksmith’s workshop Chedham’s Yard, or getting envious among the vintage cars and motorbikes of Gaydon's Heritage Motor Centre. More horses? Get to Redwings Horse Sanctuary at Oxhill 10 miles south of Stratford to see over 90 horsey inhabitants on a free walk and talk tour.
