Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club

Liked Name on the plot as you drove in.

Disliked All 3 showers & floor were really dirty & mop & bucket to clean them were even worse!
Dust track as you drive in spread dust everywhere each time a vehicle went by, so unable to sit out.
Seemed like people were staying who weren’t booked in & alot of shouting & drinking until 1am.

Liked Was really pleased with our short stay at the site relaxing after a days racing.
It had everything we need for the short stay

Disliked Pitch is on a slope but it is in a beautiful setting could probably do with more electricity hook ups and can only get WiFi when you are by the club house

From the manager: Hi, thanks for staying with us & for leaving a review. We would love to have more electric hook ups, sadly our planning permission restricts us to the ones we have, we review every year & go back to them now & again, hopefully in the future we will have more. The Wi-Fi is based in the clubhouse only unfortunately, the cost to run it to the camp area is huge, many thousand's & we just can't afford to do it!

Thanks for staying with us, hopefully see you again.

Liked Campingsite is fine and a good place to discover the surroundings

Disliked In the weekend they hosted a group of karting drivers. Some of them were so pissed that they only stopped talking and laughing loud at 2 in the night

Liked We liked being close (walkable) to Stow, as well as a lovely pub (Horse and Groom) in the other direction. Had gorgeous sunsets both night. Showers and toilet block were v good. There was a bar on site which we didn’t go to but that was handy.

Disliked Not much that could be done about this given the run of super hot weather we’ve been having but the track to the toilet was quite dusty and when cars / vans passed it kicked up, so maybe some matting or similar would be good but it’s been so dry that the dust is out of their control!

Liked Fantastic views
Good location for getting around
Good electrics (16 amp)

Disliked The toilets and showers were not clean for at least 3 days.
Bins were smelly and overflowing.
Washing up area was in between the outside drinking area and it was smelly and not welcoming and dark.
No organisation as to pitching onsite and no fire breaks between units implemented. We also didn’t see any fire points around the site.
Generators were being run late into the night and people were loud up until at least 1pm
It just felt like the whole site was unmanaged.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for staying with us & for leaving a review. We're sorry you didn't appear to enjoy your stay with us. The toilets, showers & wash up areas are cleaned at least twice a day as can be seen from the records kept on the units, & our reviews would suggest they are clean most of the time, it's possible you have used the facilities between cleans or after busy periods & we do clean the units more often during busy times.
The wash up area is under cover & fully lit, with the lights on sensors & is cleaned along with the showers etc. & bin changed daily.

The pitches on the site are clearly marked on the large white notice board on the entrance to the camping field, with names on the electric pitches and making it clear that the grass area is a self service area where you can choose where to pitch.

The fire regulations can be seen in the camping information centre in the clubhouse along with all the other site & local information, our site is fully compliant with the required fire regulations as required by our licence.

The site isn't permanently managed as its not big enough to justify the time for a full time manager, however you have a contact number on the booking acknowledgment, it's also shown on the top of the board in the access to the site & again in the clubhouse on the wall in big font, so if you had any queries help was easily available.

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, we will take your comments on board & make improvements where we can.

Liked Beutiful and quiet area. Lots of space and really good facilities.

Mainly self service which we prefer.

Liked Space and level pitch

Disliked All on really -

Liked Lovely clean toilets, showers and washing up area.
Quiet. Plenty of space
Late check in
Relaxed atmosphere

Liked Night views from the pitches, staff friendly and helpful, toilets and showers all clean and service well. Pitches are sloping but with chocks we were fine! The club had rugby practice whilst we were here so we enjoyed a pint in the club too. Easy walk to stow on the wold.

Disliked Nothing to do with the club but there is road noise - appreciate nothing to do with club.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for staying with us & leaving a review.

I think you had the mis fortune of staying with us during the windy spell we had, which blew across the road, 3 fields away which did bring a bit of road noise. We've had some windy days lately unfortunately.. mostly the road cannot be heard from the camp site, however we're pleased you enjoyed your stay, hopefully you will visit us again in the calmer weather!!

Liked Picked own pitch space on grass area
Toilets very clean

Disliked Signage at entrance could be clearer
