The Temporary Site

The site is located, as in previous years, directly to the left of the main front gate. There are no toilet/washrooms on site so you will need to use your own caravan or motorhome facilities.

The site facilities include fresh water points, wastewater and chemical waste disposal, 6amp electric hook up pitches are available. However, we would recommend you book these early as they are popular.
The site will be opening on Wednesday 10th at 10am running until Sunday 14^th site closes at 6pm.

Minimum Stay 2 nights.

Please note the prices stated on the booking form are per outfit including its occupants.  

You will have the opportunity to take advantage of various onsite and offsite functions and excursions.

Travelling into Windsor and the Show from the Campsite

1. From this site you could walk or cycle 1 mile partly along the river path to Windsor and a little further to the show.
2. Travel by river boat Wednesday to Friday.
3. Take advantage of the possible deal being negotiated at this time, with a local private car hire company.

This will be the best option by far.

Please note: When you book your show tickets, you will be offered car parking opposite the showground which is on grass and may get water logged at times. It can also get very busy at the end of the evening with everyone leaving at the same time.

We suggest you consider option 3 as above. The choice is yours.

Make the most of your stay while on site and local area programme.

Onsite Friday:- Join the Buckinghamshire Centre’s marshalling team at 7.30pm in the marquee for a “Welcome Reception” Some drinks and nibbles will be provided. Feel free to bring your fold up chairs and your own favourite drink and glass to join us for this social.

Out & About 

Maybe you would like to visit one of the national trust houses in the area. Try Cliveden House. Glorious grade 1 listed garden, set high upon the cliffs above the Thames.

The Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede commemorates by name over 20,000 airmen and women who were lost in the Second World War during operations from bases in the United Kingdom and North and Western Europe, who have no known graves. They served in Bomber, Fighter, Coastal, Transport, Flying Training and Maintenance Commands, and came from all parts of the commonwealth. Some were from countries in continental Europe which had been overrun, but whose airmen continued to fight in the ranks of the Royal Air Force. This sits on a hill overlooking part of the Thames Valley.

Windsor castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. First established by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. The King now spends some of his time here.

No visit to Windsor is complete without a tour of the Castle but please note The King maybe in residence so some of the castle may not be available to view. Pre-book online.

Travel by private car

Parking in Windsor can be a nightmare. We hope to again reach an agreement with a local private car hire company. They will collect you on site to go into Windsor or the shows. Prices to be confirmed nearer the time. They are usually very helpful when you say you are a Caravan & Motorhome Club Member. Do a car share to reduce the cost. (Taxi number will be in your envelope given out on arrival)
