  • 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.

What customers say

Great base for Stratford-upon-Avon, with a bus stop handy. Staff and showers get top marks for friendliness and cleanliness. Pitches are generally good, though some are sloped or a bit close. Shop hours are limited, and some amenities are dated. Occasional noise noted.

Liked We had a lovely pitch at the top of the slope on the grass so the views were better. It’s a very quiet site and relaxing. Site well maintained and clean but looks like work going on at the site.

Disliked You need crocs to wear after taking a shower because floor gets very wet in dressing area because water gets everywhere. Showers powerful and very warm.

Liked Friendly staff, good clean facilities and a nice walk available just outside the site. Being close to town is also a bonus.

Disliked Shower pressure is a bit low but didn’t have to wait at all, and the water was more than hot enough.

Liked Conveniently placed near Stratford and in a lovely area. I liked how small the park was so not over- crowded. The shower was amazing- hot with lots of pressure.

Disliked Toilets and shower facilities a little cramped. Could do with a few more trees.

Liked The std of the site slipped a little last year but it’s back to normal again now & this is a very cheap site around £30 at around a night you can walk into town a couple of miles there is a pavement all the way or you can catch the bus into town right outside the gate. This for me is a great site for weekends

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.
