What customers say
Lovely rural spot with racecourse views. Convenient to farm shop & golf club bar. Water & clean loos good. Signage/communication could improve, some found insects in loos & train noise. No showers, but was advised before booking.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

Clean facilities but definitely need ear plugs.
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Location was good - walking distance to The Clive Arms - lovely, welcoming pub/hotel. The site is also very convenient for exploring Ludlow
Toilets were clean and well lit.
Although the site is not well signposted, when we called the number in the booking confirmation we got excellent, clear instructions on where to go.
Disliked The trains and the noise of traffic from the A49. Not sure how this can be described as a peaceful rural site given trains going past pretty much all night (except between about 2am and 6am) and so much noise from the main road

Level pitches clean toilet Facilities
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the racecourse it was easy to find clean facilities you could arrive when you wanted to and leave on the day of departure at a reasonable time. We were there for the food festival and were able to get a bus from the main food straight into Ludlow- Perfect.
Friendly bar close by on the golf course (non members welcome)

Take your earbuds as the Trainline adjoins the racecourse 😉
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked The provision of water and access to toilets as we were not expecting this. Met the Racecourse Groundsman Tom who kindly told us we could catch the Ludlow bus by the local Farmshop just up the road.
Disliked The campsite sign stated that the Elsan point was in the carpark as you enter the racecourse... we walked round the carpark several times and could not find it. Not a problem for a one night stop as we simply took it home!

Very easy going site, left to your own devices. Would stay again
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Great location, very quiet, clean facilities right next to the race course
Disliked It is near a rail track but it didn't bother us, trains were only during the day about every 30 minutes. Campsite could do with better signposting

Better comms/duty phone line or meet & greet. Signage. Insect spray
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked The location - close to the local Farm shop & golf course has a great bar with friendly staff.
Disliked The lack of signage. Reliance on a single flag (these are no good if there is no wind!!! ) No sign in/welcome at site. I felt like I was trespassing.
Toilets were filled with insects - insect spray should be made available in the facilities. I’d only stay again IF the suggestions were noted about the insects.
I’d only recommend to friends IF the suggestions were noted. It’s likely most solo females would feel a bit unsafe to be in this location.
