  • 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.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Owner and staff very friendly but Wednesday is their day off and felt guilty asking for help when we didn’t have a hose to fill water tank during their personal time. Would benefit from the addition of laundry facilities and wifi.

Disliked: Booked it because said there was a shop which also sold alcohol which would save us driving out and shopping. Shop only open for an hour in the morning to supply newspapers; alcohol license withdrawn due to change of ownership.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: We have stayed at this site several times now as it is near my parents. We love how quiet it is and that we can walk into Stratford Upon Avon. We took our dog with us for the first time and there are so many places to walk her in the area. The wardens are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Last year my father was in hospital and I was leaving and returning to the site at times I could have disturbed others so the wardens gave me a pitch at the entrance to allow me to do this. I highly recommend this site!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Very straightforward booking on Pitchup. Dodwell Park is an easy find and not far from Stratford-upon-Avon (2-3 miles). The site is clean and tidy, with hot showers, decent chemical waste disposal etc. My partner and I will certainly use Dodwell Park again when we return to Stratford-upon-Avon.

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.
