  • 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 location near Stratford-upon-Avon. Staff are friendly & helpful, facilities are clean w/ hot showers. Pitches offer good value, though some are close or sloped. Limited shop hours. Most guests want to return.

Liked Close to Stratford upon Avon and Evesham.

Disliked Slopping pitches, small cramped site when busy and road noise is constant in the background.
Showers and toilet facilities are small and needs updating.
Constantly pestered by wasp's.

Jane C.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The welcome, guy on reception was nice and helpful. Tidy and clean site, toilets and showers were great.

Disliked On our second night we had family of 5 put on grass behind us. Not an actual pitch. Only a meter away.
Bad language, kids crying, screaming, just generally annoying.
There is a reason you book up a pitch, to get your space but to have a family in a tent put next to you that isn't a pitch. It's not nice,
No chill time and lack of sleep from the kids and adults loud talking and swearing.
Also I booked up the pitch available on the understanding that no bbq or fires allowed, and we were on pitch with no hook up so when we turned up and our pitch was electric hook up, we were gutted as we took no cable. Plus bbqs were being used on site

That pitches for campervans and caravans are not separated. Campers situated right behind our campervan and so they were sitting out talking to the early hours.
Pitches close together

Powered grass campsite

Liked Just off main rd into Stratford upon Avon. Wardens VERY helpful. Some pitches are sloping and I was unprepared, so they allowed us to move.
There is nothing to dislike about this site, amenities are good, with very nice showers, all you need services wise...a good honest comfortable site, so much so, that we doubled our stay.

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.
