Ketch Caravan Park

Mi è piaciuto: This easy to find, 'work in progress' site will be a 'little gem' when completed.
Whilst a lot of work is going on at the site, it did not impact our weekend away.
Close to motorway/main roads, but road noise minimal (so minimal that you don't even notice it). Very peaceful, beautiful views and chilled.
2 min walk to Toby Carvery, Aldi & B&M, 3 min walk to Harvester. 5 min walk to Bus Stop for Worcester City Centre.
Walks along the riverside.
Jake, the Site Manager was a lovely young chap, very friendly & helpful.
Toilet Block clean & tidy and the Rainfall Showers fab.
We will definetely be returning for weekend get-aways as long as we can bring our Dog.

Non mi è piaciuto: Confusing information about Dog types accepted/not accepted. The Ketch Webside states Dogs Welcome on leads, etc.

Via Pitch-up it states: The site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act (i.e. XL Bully, Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro) and/or any of the following: Staffordshire bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Rottweiler, any Mastiff or Tosa.

My disappointment is not accepting the following, Staffordshire Bull Terrier - we have a very well behaved Staffordshire Bull Terrier - which is NOT on the Dangerous Dogs Act - so do not understand these being banned on the site. Our Staffy has travelled with us on hundreds of Motorhome holidays and never been refused to stay on any campsite?

Also, Pitch-Up suggests 20p to use the Showers - this is incorrect, there is not extra charge.

Mi è piaciuto: How peaceful it was and staff friendly

Non mi è piaciuto: Toilets and shower block to far away
Also waste water to far away
The steps to go to the toilet/shower block are way to steep
Anyone with walking difficulties would not cope with it all .

Mi è piaciuto: The river, toilet block was new and very clean. Showers a bit small. Need steps in middle of bank as long way round either way. Noisy motorway very close but loved proximity to town centre.

Non mi è piaciuto: Need steps in middle of bank for easy access to toilets, showers and washing up

Mi è piaciuto: Great spot on the river with a lovely walk along the river to Worcester. Great value for money compared to a lot of sites. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There's a new shower block and were clean and tidy. There's only 22 pitches so not busy. The site is shared with a static caravan park which as been upgraded and awaiting new vans. I would definitely return.

Non mi è piaciuto: Distance to the elsan and fresh water but I understand the bottom field can flood in the winter.

Dal gestore: Thank you for a kind review, yes the toilet block is up on the high level of the site as the bottom section floods each year.
Pleased you enjoyed your stay

Mi è piaciuto: Location and you have got two pubs in easy walking distance to have a nice meal. Only downside as a tourer you have to walk round the edge of the site to get to toilet instead of putting a central pathway and steps in the middle,

Non mi è piaciuto: Long walk to toilet facilities

Mi è piaciuto: Spacious pitches

Non mi è piaciuto: No signage or directions on how to get to toilet/shower block or water points. The sites like a building site. It's ironic how in the rules it asks you not to walk on static caravan foundations that have been laid but you have to walk on them to get to shower block that's located in far corner of the site. I used the steps at side of elsan point and motorhome filling station they led me straight onto the foundations where I fell and now have cracked ribs and grazed knees. Toilets and showers aren't clean they weren't cleaned all over the bank holiday weekend which is such a shame as brand new shower block.

Dal gestore: Hi
Im sorry but your review is ridiculous.
You read in the rules which we give ti all our guests, not to walk on the static pitches, but you did it anyway?
It is blatantly obvious the path to the toilet block it is up a set of steps to the left or up a ramp to the right, you do not need to come off the paths and walk on the static pitches.
We get the comment a lot that the toilet block is a bit of a walk which it is, I have explained numerous times that the toilet block has to be where it is as the camping field floods each winter.
The toilet block is cleaned on a regular basis.

Mi è piaciuto: Vacinity to the River Severn and close walking distance to Worcester City centre.... Quiet site even over a BH weekend as it is undergoing a full renovation. Jake was lovely, helpful and didn't seem to stop working! Also close to a couple of eating pubs, an Aldi and a B&M store. Great location for exploring local area.....

Non mi è piaciuto: Nothing - great price for a lovely setting....

Mi è piaciuto: Good sized pitch .

Non mi è piaciuto: 1 drinking water tap between pitches 8&9 not great for people pitched on theses pitches . Toilets and showers . No toilet roll in ladies Thursday and Friday had to find someone on site as reception is not manned very often . My husband said Mens were the same only one toilet with toilet paper . Ladies showers and sinks were not cleaned in the 4 days we were on site .. washing up area is attached to the ladies toilets and showers where the door between washing up and the showers does not close properly . . Access to these facilities are not marked from the camp pitches you have to go across the building site to access them . Not good in the dark Another set of steps perhaps half way down the camping pitches as it is too far to walk to the far end and the bank is to steep to get up .

Dal gestore: Hi There
Thank you for taking time to leave a review,
Our toilet block is cleaned daily and is brand new we have been open for 1 month.
You do have to walk to the loo block it cannot be avoided as the touring field floods in closed season.
The site has undergone a massive redevelopment as you will have noticed, though it is not a building site !
Infrastructure is complete, there are bases laid and drives laid for all static pitches, there is no building work and there is none going to be happening.
Thank you for your review

Mi è piaciuto: Quiet and peacefull location and near to local amenities. Showers and toilets new and very clean. Washing up facilities great. Laundry facilities looked new, we didn't need to use them. Lots of hot water. Helpful staff when needed.
Lovely walk along the river to Worcester city centre.

Non mi è piaciuto: Would appreciate a couple more steps up the slope.

Mi è piaciuto: Lovely site, great location. Ideal for getting into Worcester and having amenities nearby. Still undergoing works on site and facilities all new. Warden was very helpful when there was an issue on site with another camper teaching his 10yr child to drive on the site. Would come again as it is great so the dislikes are minor points / tips as the owners learn. Lovely hot water on site as well. Will be beautiful I'm sure when finished.

Non mi è piaciuto: Not necessarily dislikes but maybe tips for the owners as they may be still learning too. Less attention should be focused on striming and maybe a half an hour daily clean / check of toilets and showers as often other campers would leave them in a mess or we were without toilet paper for days. Bins / chemical waste are quite walk away not sure if anything can actually be changed on that as appreciate it floods in the winter. We ended up using our bike to take bits as we were the end pitch but that was ideal for the stairs to toilets. Most people walk up the bank which the rules say don't but most ignored that so perhaps additional steps are needed. Grass cutting / striming was carried out very close to the vans on site and did make me nervous if a stone flicked up maybe wait until a pitch is vacant to works right behind.

Dal gestore: Thank you for taking time to leave us a review, We are very keen to read them and make changes over the season to make the site better in anyway. We have added a motor home service point as a new feature but indeed we had to put everything up on the high level of the site.

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and would love to welcome you back
