I stayed at Dodwell Park for a couple of nights camping with the new tent and to see a bit of Stratford. The campsite is about 3 miles outside Stratford but a regular bus does run from directly opposite the park so the location is pretty good.

The entrance to the site is quite smart with a number of pre fabricated retirement homes, the gardens are really pretty so it’s really welcoming.

The site itself is very small with a small shop and reception area. The shop building looks like something from the fifties and the choice is limited and expensive, £7.99 for a poor red wine. The site attendant was very friendly and had us onsite in no time.

The shower and toilet facilities are also very dated and not welcoming but are cleaned regularly.

The site was very quiet when we stayed, although another family told us the two nights prior were a nightmare as lots of people from the grasstrack racing across the road were partying all night. It maybe worth checking when these events are on before booking in.

Overall this is a nice site but could do with some upgrades to the facilities. At £12 per night for a tent it’s not to badly priced.
