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.

Tanya B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass campsite

Liked The location was ideal for exploring Stratford upon Avon.
The wardens Lesley & Jim, lovely couple and very helpful. The shop on site doesn’t sell fresh milk strangely. But Lesley was kind enough to give me some of hers out of her own fridge. They couldn’t do enough.

Disliked The permanent residents on the camping area. A little interfering and talked too much. As much as I’m sociable I allow just want to relax. It also made you feel like you’d moved on to the set of Eastenders as there was issues with another permanent resident and his dog. I wanted a break not drama

The stock in the shop was poor. No fresh milk stocked. They could use the shop a lot better and stock it a lot better.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Nice welcome. Elevated pitch with good views. Bus stop right outside for exploring Stratford. Hot showers (no push button) and seat!

Disliked "Semi permanent" residents and work vans were a little off-putting for a camp/touring site. Not very relaxing.
Very disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the toilet block. In the two days we were there, was no loo paper in either, the bins had the same rubbish and the toilets and sinks had the same marks. Also, if nobody activates the light sensor at night, you get plunged into darkness in the shower. A health and safety risk.

Liked The location, in the countryside but very close to all the amenities in Stratford upon Avon. Toilets and Showers were fine, perhaps the shower cubicles could be updated.

The gardener was great to chat to, very happy to chat about his small plot.

Disliked It’s a bit inclined in parts.

Liked Lovely site ideal location for Stratford very welcoming on arrival. We stayed on a grass pitch was set a bit higher in the park so had lovely views. Would definitely go back.

Disliked Toilets and showers I think were a bit tired and could possibly do with a couple more washing up sinks

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.
