  • 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.

What customers say

A great site with plenty of room on the pitches, and the facilities are spotless. Excellent value too. Staff are lovely and always willing to help. It's in a brilliant spot, a nice walk or cycle into Stratford-upon-Avon. Some bits are a bit basic or old-fashioned, but always clean and working. Peaceful and great for dogs.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lots of space, big pitch. Very well situated, short drive to town.

Disliked The toilet facilities. Around the corner on a badly paved path. Just not your normal camping facilities. We showered in the caravan.

Liked A fantastic site, flat ground which is great for tents and caravans. A perfect location to visit the town, where there is so much to do and see. This site is suitable for all age groups , the staff are friendly and helpful and all amenities are kept extremely clean.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked My husband and I stayed for 3 nights bank holiday weekend. The sight was full. There was also 2 rallies on the race corse. Lovely and quiet at night . The warden was welcoming and always buzzing around in her golf buggy. A fantastic location for Stratford town itself 15—20 mins walk. We would stop again as a pass through.

Disliked The only thing I think is missing is a shower block at the other end of the race corse and there is not grey waste drive over for Motorhomes. And there must of been a few hundred motorhomes on the site that weekend. The shower block that is there wasn’t the cleanest

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Pitch was level. Handy to Stratford. Some evening entertainment.

Disliked Reception was hurried and impersonal. “Name? Wait over there and someone will direct you”

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to learn that you found your initial experience at reception hurried and impersonal. We fully appreciate that the first impression of a stay is important, and we regret that on this occasion we fell short of your expectations.

Bank holiday weekends are among the busiest periods in our calendar, and our team works hard to ensure that check-ins are handled as efficiently as possible to minimise waiting times for all guests. This does, at times, mean that the reception process is more streamlined than usual. That being said, we always ensure that every guest is personally escorted to their pitch, where our staff explain the facilities, provide guidance, and answer any questions to ensure a smooth start to the stay.

We are pleased that you chose to stay with us during such a popular weekend and do hope you will consider visiting again at a quieter time of year, when we can offer you a more relaxed and personable arrival experience.

Lovely site. Nice walk into Stratford…

Liked Lovely site. Nice walk into Stratford On Avon or 2 minute walk to bus stop. Clean facilities. Great staff. Lovely open feeling on pitches even when it was really busy on Bank Holiday Weekend never too noisy or over crowded.

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.
