Relaxed rural campsite on a working mixed farm
Bradford-on-Avon 15 minutes' drive; Bath half an hour
Family-friendly farm on the edge of a Wiltshire village; dogs allowed

Take up a plot at Yellowtail Camping for a relaxed and welcoming stay. This campsite is in the grounds of a working mixed farm in the Wiltshire countryside and it’s a top base for exploring local towns like Bradford-on-Avon or Frome, as well as UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Stonehenge and the Georgian city of Bath. Plus, the place itself is in a convenient location on the edge of the village of Hilperton near Trowbridge. With a nature pond, a designated picnic and barbecue area and key facilities like toilets, showers and chemical disposal points, Yellowtail Camping has the kind of functional amenities that make holidaying here that little bit more pleasant. Dogs are allowed here throughout the camping season too, but please make sure they're on a lead at all times and well-behaved around other guests and their pets. New Barn Farm, where the campsite is located, is about 15 minutes' walk from the Kennet and Avon Canal, where there's lots of scope for waterside walks, bike rides and trips to the pubs that are dotted along the towpath. The site is also within a mile's walking or cycling distance from a café and a coffee roaster, while Trowbridge town centre's supermarkets and railway station can be accessed in a five-minute drive or less.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Friendly staff. I was glad to find that the campsite was open, when quite a few others weren't (start of April 2024). Nice field. Clean facilities. Spacious shower. Good location, close to National Cycle Route 4 along the Kennet and Avon Canal. Easy to cycle into Trowbridge.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: This facility was excellent. Great hard pitches and road made for east access despite the heavy rain for some days prior. The shower and bathrooms were new and in excellent condition and regularly cleaned. Owner was on hand to greet us and provided all necessary advice and support in a friendly manner.

Disliked: A little ways out of town so difficult if you wanted to head to a shop or cafe. Not the fault of the site !

Local attractions

Scenic are many of the places around here. First off, there’s Bradford-on-Avon (15 minutes' drive) on the river Avon, where it’s easy to get fully acquainted with the water by canoeing, kayaking or taking a boat tour. There are historical heritage sites too, and it’s not the only place known for that because Bath (half an hour) has Roman baths, the pretty Pulteney Bridge and Bath Abbey. More of those historical go-tos, Stonehenge (40 minutes) has surely got to make your list for its iconic stone circle. Closer by, the 14th-century remains of Farleigh Hungerford Castle (15 minutes) and the peaceful Iford Manor Gardens (20 minutes) are some other tributes to old times. Then, when you fancy throwing some wildlife into the mix, Longleat Safari Park (30 minutes) has more than its fair share. Other cool natural spots include the limestone caverns at Wookey Hole (an hour), but for that buzz of the town, Frome (half an hour) has a historic centre and Wells (an hour) is packed with events, eateries and museums.
