  • 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.

Aron B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome and helpfulness of site staff. Facilities were clean but could do with updating/upgrading

Disliked: Pitches are really close to each other. We travelled as a couple without kids, would’ve liked the choice to be away from the busy family areas. Booked a hard standing pitch but got put on a grass pitch. Cars were still driving around at 11pm. Never got to sleep until 1am due to the family behind and then was woken up at 7am by them running around the back of our caravan. Unsure why families would stay here as there’s nothing for young children Left a day early, unhappy as was looking forward to the short stay to recharge batteries. Uneven pitches

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Nice site. Toilet and showers were always clean. Owners were friendly. Very close to town to drive in.

Disliked: Wouldn't stop us coming back but we were surrounded by caravan we felt squished. There were mainly caravan and campers. It would be nice if were separated from them. Top section had plenty of room than the middle section and bottom section was crammed in. The shop should be open longer only 1 and half hour every morning if you have lay in you miss the shop.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Very well kept. Good facilities, nice welcome and tidy. Great stopover point for a few days.

Disliked: Busy site but needs a little area in the middle dedicated to kids to play in my opinion, they were restricted to their area and the roads. Showers are a little tired. Wouldn’t like to be there longer than a few days

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.
