Why stay here ...
Situated right on the edge of an elegant spa town, Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite is a desirable site and the perfect base from which to explore the delights of the area. The town of Cheltenham is just one and a half miles from the caravan site through a nearby park, or you can use the convenient regular transport service provided by the Park and Ride. The site is also well placed for visiting the city of Gloucester with its Cathedral and other historic buildings. 50 of the 76 pitches on site are hardstanding so you have a very good chance of securing a hardstanding pitch which gives you more opportunity to tour even when the weather is bad!
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite puts a wealth of fun activities within easy reach. With its tree-lined promenade and colonnaded buildings, the Regency Spa town is an absolute pleasure for the pedestrian. Regent Arcade provides a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants and you will want to take in the sight of the delightful Wishing Fish Clock. The Everyman Theatre is available for those wanting to experience a little culture as well as enjoying the scenic views of its well maintained gardens. Why not experience the thrill of the races? Famed for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, held every year in March, the racecourse has fixtures throughout the year. All in all, the caravan site offers enough memorable attractions to keep visitors returning time and again.

Fantastic iconic site
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite
Three night stay over the bank holiday weekend. Having attended the races at Cheltenham for nearly 40 years, this was our first time staying at the site and absolutely loved our time here. The wonderful wardens (Phil and Debs - the best and nicest we have come across anywhere), the fantastic views across the racecourse towards Cleeve Hill from our pitch, the spotlessly clean toilet, shower and washing facilities, the walk around the racecourse itself, Prestbury village a 10 min walk away, the Gloucester and Warwickshire Heritage Railway a 5 min walk away - the list goes on. An added bonus was the Wychwood Festival taking place at the racecourse (CAMC site in in Foster's enclosure, festival other side by Tattersalls) which could be enjoyed from outside the van. Would fully recommend a visit and will definitely return.
The friendliest site!
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite
We stayed over the jubilee bank holiday, as a party of 3 couples. On arrival, we was invited to a Jubilee get together at reception the following day, by the very welcoming wardens Debs and Phil.
Beer, Prosecco and nibbles were provided, and a fun jubilee quiz to take part in. We ended up taking our chairs to reception and stayed all afternoon! We had a great time, a lovely atmosphere, and we really enjoyed chatting with the other guests. We even arranged to meet back later with some of them and walked to the nearby park together for the evening celebrations there!
The site has fantastic views, spotlessly clean and in a great position.
It is definitely the wardens though who make this site special, Debs and Phil are the most friendliest we have met, and we will return to stay with them again! Thanks for a fab stay!
Wonderful site
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite
Visited this site a few times pre pandemic and couldn't wait to return last week. It's a wonderful site, with beautiful views...just wish it was open all year round! Walking distance in to Cheltenham, which is great. Also, a little village 15 mins walk part way round the course is worth a visit as had 3 x excellent pubs (Prestbury?)
Facilities are spotless as are the pitches.
A special mention to the site staff...especially the lovely lady that knitted all the Royal characters on display in reception in readiness for the Jubilee weekend. She and her husband are some of the nicest wardens we've encountered.
We hope to return very soon. Thank you.
Good base for visiting Cheltenham
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite
Read reviews so knew basically what to expect. Greeted by friendly 'temporary' wardens. Selected tarmac EHU pitch due to wind, not particularly good views but that was our choice. Plenty of pitches available with great views over the course and beyond, definitely levelling block req'd. Easy walk into town via road or much nicer through Puttville park. Park & ride available at entrance to site. Steam railway running from site Fri/Sat. Motorhome point just past reception. Toilet/showers/chemical disposal clean and functional. Cream tea/cake slices/milk available at reception. Arrival time now from 1pm as are most other club sites. Some late night disco noise from function in one area of the stands, but didn't run into the early hours.
Information in handbook to follow brown 'Racecourse' signs is near to useless, signage when there is faded and doesn't take into consideration diversions. We were not the only people who struggled to find it, the unit checking in behind us ended up 7 miles away from the site.
What a GEM
Cheltenham Racecourse Club Campsite
Last minute booking after staying on the Henley site. Fantastic meet and greet excellent, nice to see staff who interact with customers happy to do so and not the opposite., picked pitch on grass, levelling not required. On the whole the reason I ignore negative reviews is why I ended up here. I parked on grass, no levelling required. The vista from our MH of the course and surrounding hills is beyond belief. We didn't hear any road noise or any noise. Woken one morning, by the statutory barking dog, not the dogs fault just the stupid owner. The location is superb for countryside walks or into Cheltenham town centre about 20 minutes via a lovely park. Used the park and ride once which is so handy but preferred
to walk. We don't have a freebie pass yet, so the cost for two adults is a fiver return. TV reception, mobile and mifi all excellent. Fortunately the UB40 concert on the course had been cancelled!!
Shall definitely return, oh and ablutions were fine. Visited 21-23rd May 22
