To find site:- From Oxford on A44 and as you approach Broadway, after Fish Hill take the Broadway Bypass. Exit at second roundabout signed for Broadway on the B4632, the site is on the right in about half a mile immediately under railway bridge. Best to avoid towing through the village.
Broadways CMC site
is a very popular site and is situated in the Cotswolds just outside
the village of the same name. It is exclusively for Club members and
is open all year. This site has 116 level, good sized, pitches all
but a handful are on hardstanding including 20 which are serviced
pitches with their own water supply and grey water waste point. The
site is in two sections, the original upper section, with the old
railway Goods Shed, and the newer lower section. The Club has
ensured that there is grass area around all pitches and as the
shrubbery grows it has become more intimate. This is generally a
peaceful site but there is some road noise that mainly impacts on
the first 10 or so pitches on the left down from reception. Electric
points are convenient to all pitches and are rated at 16 amps and
use CEE17 blue connectors. The electric bollards also have a co-ax
TV connector, these are free to use but you must have your own cable
or buy one from reception. There are two water and waste water
service points on the lower section and another on the upper section
which also have a chemical emptying point. Some pitches at the far
end of the site are a fair distance from a water point. A most
welcome addition to this site is the installation of an open grill
waste water point for motorhomes. There is a toilet block on each
section. On the lower section the block is of modern design and
everything you would expect from the Caravan Club. On the other
hand, the toilet block on the upper section is something rather
special. It is housed in what was the old railway sheds in the
Broadway goods yard. Also included in this building is a special
storage point for The Wanderer, the world's first purpose-built
leisure touring caravan. (During our latest visit in August 2021
this toilet block and Goods Shed was closed) Next to reception is a
good-sized information room. Some mobile food takeaways visit the
site on certain days, information from reception. There is site wide
Wi-Fi and access can be purchased online. When trying to connect to
the site WiFi to use the Club’s website I found it a bit
intermittent. 4G connection was better on O2 but EE was difficult
especially on the pitches on the lower section of the site. There is
a nice centrally situated children’s playground which is also
screened from the pitching area.
This site is about
a mile walk from the delightful Cotswold village of Broadway. There
are several restaurants and tea/coffee shops in the village as well
as shops and galleries. There is a Co-Op supermarket in the centre
of the village which will cater for most needs. Evesham is about 10
miles away and has both a Tesco and Morrisons supermarket. For fuel
there is a handy garage opposite the site which has a good pull in
space for both cars and caravans and larger motorhomes. This garage
also sells newspapers and various food staples. There are various
other attractions around and about including Broadway Tower and
several National Trust Properties. Details of these and other
attractions can be found in the site information bureau. There are
some bus services from the village but best to check times and
frequencies with Reception. Work on the restoration of the old
Broadway Station, opposite the site entrance, is now complete and
regular train services are running between Broadway and Cheltenham.
The Station has a shop
and café for those that just want to look.
