We have stayed there very, very frequently, but to be fair that was some 12 years ago and the site itself may have changed somewhat. If you pitch in the first part of the site some of the pitches are very small and very prone to flooding, the clue is in the name. We have had to change pitch many a time due to flooding. However, as I said that was some years ago and they may well have done some work to help with this. What won’t have changed is the location, which is great. Easy walk into the little town, tea shops, ASK, wine shop, fish and chip shop, Tesco convenience store and interesting shops. A market on a Tuesday. A very short drive up the road is an excellent Garden Centre with a butchers and food shop + women’s clothes etc and a very good restaurant. Lots to do all around if wandering around Cotswolds villages and NT houses is your thing. Stratford Upon Avon for a nice day out.

Not stayed at the Club Site, but have used a very nice CL, Pebbly Barn Farm just outside. OH knows M in M well, he’s spent months at the old Fire Service Training College on outskirts of town. Typical Cotswold quaint, with mellow stone buildings, some nice shops, it’s a bottle neck for traffic in the Summer months at times though. However, it’s a good location for visiting some really interesting NT and HHA houses and gardens. NT have Hidcote, Chastleton, Snowshill Manor, Upton all close by, Chedworth Roman Villa within ten miles, HHA have Kiftsgate Gardens, Bourton House Gardens and Sezincote within a mile, and Batsford Arboretum is located just North of the town. It has a railway station as well, so links to other places. Nice supermarket, Budgens I think and a little Co-op as well. We took our bikes, and used them from CL, but it’s not the best cycling we have found, ok on some of the small back roads, but we found it impossible to do circular rides as you end up on some very very busy and dangerous main roads. Certainly wouldn’t use them from Club Site.

Bourton House Gardens, just up hill from Club Site.
Half Moon Pool at Kiftsgate Gardens, which are opposite Hidcote Manor Gardens.

It was a regular place to visit for us, 4 times in the last 18 years, as it was only 50 miles from where we live. Easy walk into the town with pleanty of good transport connection plus lots of shops. Pretty near most of the regular Cotswolds attractions.

.....the first ever Club site we stayed at, some 35 years ago. Went back last February. The site has changed quite a bit. We like the increase in hardstandings and addition of serviced pitches, although the site seemed just a little cramped in places. The town is just down the road, and includes a nice cheese shop.
Plenty of places to visit close by: Chastleton House (NT), Batsford Arboretum, and lots of Cotswold Villages. Well worth a visit.

Long ago we lived half an hour away from Moreton in Marsh, so too close to home for us to stay at the Club site there. But as well as being a base to visit places of interest in the Cotswolds the town has a main line railway station, with trains to Oxford in one direction and to Worcester the other way - only a half hour train ride in each case. That might perhaps appeal to visitors.

We’ve visited twice over the years. Maybe we’ve been lucky, but haven’t had any issues with muddy conditions. That said, we made the mistake of taking a pitch under a tree, ended up with a right sticky mess over the car and van. On one occasion, we had our daughter and grandchildren stay in one of the glamping pods, a very good addition to the site in my view. They are set away from the camping area, so not obtrusive at all. There’s a very good play area too. It might be worth considering avoiding driving through Stow-On-The-Wold, as it’s always been a bottleneck for traffic every time we’ve driven through it. On one occasion we were stuck there for around half an hour.
It’s a site I quite like, in a good location.0 -
We stayed here in August 2025 and again end of November 2025 and loved it both times. Lovely large site excellent facilities and staff all lovely. Just dont stay on the edges near the roads as it can be a bit noisy with the amount of HGV trucks that go through there. Honestly surprised us the amount of large HGV's that go past giving the size of the town. Lovely restaurants and bars a very short walk away as well we high recommend a lovely little pub called "inn on the marsh" if you come out the site turn left walk to the junction and take the right just walk straight ahead past a little pond you will see it. Also a LIDL supermarket just further along the road as well or an Aldi i can never remember which is which lol.

Rowena, why do the reviews no longer appear on CT? I found them very useful and visited sites that I had never thought of going after reading good reviews about them on CT. If you are visiting Moreton in the Marsh out of season in a M/H and use the bus to go to Broadway (perhaps to go on the steam train), keep an eye on the bus timetables as after around 1.00 pm the bus service seems to disappear for quite some time.

It is an excellent site which has been recently upgraded. Most pitches are gravel with a good percentage serviced. We stay there every year and have been there for over 40 years. We find the site very well cared for and managed. The wardens are excellent and very helpful.
Very enjoyable walk from the back of the site, across the fields to the Batsford Arboratum with garden centre - takes 30 mins. Discount available through the Club. 10 mins walk into town.
