The camping field

  • 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

Lovely quiet spot handy for Stratford. Staff are grand, though the loos are a bit old. Great for dogs. Pitches can be cosy and a bit sloped, and the shop shuts early.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The pitch was clean and a nice size. The lady in reception was pleasant and very helpful. The toilets and showers were basic but clean.

Disliked The shop only being open for a couple of hours in the morning. Also there was a group staying and woke us up around 1am and didn't go quiet until around 3 - 4 am. It would be good to have someone onsite who could be contacted in these instances to quieten down guests like this. Especially as the rules say "no noise after 10.30pm.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The lady at reception was really friendly and went over and above. The bus route from the campsite to Stratford upon Avon was also an added bonus. The campsite was clean and just the right size. Excellent stop over.

Disliked Not really a dislike, but the shower block could do with a bit of an update. They were clean and warm, but could do with a revamp. Like I said, its not a dislike, just an observation. Having been on other campsites prior to this one we found the other campsites had more modern washing facilities. Like I said, not a dislike, just an observation.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Warm welcome. Clean toilets and showers. Good dog walks direct from site. Bus or walk into Stratford-upon-Avon or to Wellford-upon-Avon in the other direction for pubs. Cafe at Antique centre next door. Good 5g signal and TV reception OK.

Disliked Majority of pitches are on a slope. If adjacent pitches to water taps are occupied it may not be easy for onboard water or grey waste tanks for motorhomes. No dog waste bins in the dog walking area.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The site was quiet (volume wise) and we had a nice view from the top line. We didn't need any levelers - but then we never do.

Disliked Showers and toilet blocks are grubby. Old things can and should still be kept clean. Spiders webs, dust and generally unkempt. They are cleaned daily but they do need a deep clean.

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.
