Warwick Racecourse itself is a stunner—a historic track hugging the River Avon, right next to the medieval castle. But the campsite sits inside the course, slap-bang in the middle of the action. You’re literally sleeping on the infield. Yes, you read that right—if there’s a race on, you can watch from your awning, martini in hand (or tea, no judgment).
And honestly? It’s bonkers. One minute you’re boiling a kettle, the next you’re up close with thoroughbreds thundering past. The club site is open all year round, even when the racecourse isn’t hosting events. So you get the best of both worlds: total tranquillity on quiet weekdays, and front-row seats to the weirdest, most wonderful spectator sport on race weekends.
The Facilities: A Glorious Mix of Old and New
Let’s talk amenities, because I know you’re curious. The shower block is brand new, heated, and spotless—I’m talking water pressure that could massage a grumpy cat into purring. Thank you, Caravan Club, for knowing that a good shower makes or breaks a trip. There’s also a handy little shop for essentials, though don’t expect a full supermarket—bring your own gin.
What tickled me most was the dog exercise field. It’s literally a fenced-off patch of grass where racehorses have trampled the ground into a perfect, muddy oval. My spaniel thought she’d died and gone to snifffest heaven. And the staff? They wave at you like old mates, even when you’re blocking the entrance with your reversing mishaps. They’ve seen it all.
