  • 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 staff, clean facilities, super location near Stratford with easy bus links. Lovely quiet vibe and dog walks. Pitches are generally good, though a bit sloped/close for some. A few noise/dated facility mentions.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Toilets and wash ups etc. in good order, friendly and helpful wardens. Great dog walk close by too. Showers good too and great having large cubicles with bench to put stuff on.

Disliked Sloping pitches just doesn't suit our folding camper. Seems some of the long stay campers are none official wardens telling us how we couldn't set up our tent and had opinions on set up!!!!! No reflection on the wardens they were flexible and accomodating. Put us off staying again due to rude fellow campers.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice quiet site, very clean & warden very helpful. Ideal as a stopover or to explore local places of interest. Near pub (The Bell - excellent food) and outside the hustle & bustle of central Stratford. Bus stop right outside site & near Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets. Will definitely use site again.

Disliked On site shop was very basic with restrictive opening hours.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly Staff
Ease of access

Disliked Advertised as a peaceful location - It is far from!

The noisiest site we've been on. Too many groups and pitches that close you could hear next pitch on the toilet.

Facilities need a good clean. Mould and cobwebs everywhere

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.
