  • Small CAMC members-only site halfway between Bristol and Bath
  • Next door to Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park
  • Dogs and kids welcome; farm shop less than a mile away on foot
Booking a stay halfway between Bath and Bristol, and with easy access from the A4, is an excellent idea – it means you’ll be able to make trips to both of these vibrant (but very different) cities, and also try out a whole lot of fabulous attractions and activities in the Somerset countryside. Occupying this attractive location is Avon Valley Farm Certified Location, a small touring site for CAMC members only. The handful of pitches here are part of an arable farm – it’s a working farm, but generally fairly peaceful and calm (although there can be some noise from the nearby Bristol-to-Bath railway line sometimes). The pitch area of the site is pleasingly flat and populated with plenty of hedges and trees for privacy and shade. It’s a scenic place, too, with views towards Kelston Roundhill and the River Avon, and several paths leading from the farm down to the river, to the village of Saltford or to the Bristol-Bath cycle path. It's also easy to stroll to the nearby farm shop (just under a mile away), which serves great breakfasts and sells a good range of local produce, including local meat. Back at base, you’ll be staying on a serviced pitch with access to toilets, chemical disposal point and waste facilities. Dogs and kids are welcome – and the latter will probably be delighted to find that they're staying next door to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, which is open through school holidays and for some special events (such as the October pumpkin patch and Bonfire Night fireworks display).

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-kept campsite with spacious hardstanding pitches offering easy access to water and waste disposal. Its excellent location provides convenient bus access to Bristol and Bath, and proximity to Avon Valley Adventure Park. While many praise the quiet surroundings and friendly owner, some reviews mention that the toilet facilities are basic and require cleaning and updating, a point the manager acknowledges and plans to address. Train and occasional farm noise are noted but generally not disruptive.

Karen H.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked Good location for getting the bus into Bath. Toilets ok. There was a firework display on the neighbouring field but the owners notified us as soon as we booked. We enjoyed the free show. The site wasn't awful but we wouldn't choose to stay here again.

Disliked There were a few bits of debris around our pitch - an old tyre and other things. There was a slightly derelict shed at the side of our pitch too, which made it seem a bit scruffy.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked It was only 10 minutes walk to the main road with easy access to the bus, great for visiting Bristol and Bath.
Well spaced pitches with hard standing.

Disliked Toilets weren't the best, although the floors were freshly painted it would benefit from a deep clean.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your comments. The lavatories as you identified were being refurbished and are now much nicer (I think!). Please do come an visit again!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked The proximity to the Avon Valley Adventure Park is brilliant.
The road traffic was quiet, it was nice to see the sheep close by.

Disliked Lots of weeds, nettles, the sites feels a bit run down. The lid for the chemical waste was a bit hazardous and felt like it was about to collapse, toilets basic.
Needs a grey waste point to be totally self contained.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. I have got someone to come in and fix the lid of the chemical waste point - thank you for pointing that out. Sorry that you won’t come again.

Clean facilities. Level pitches. Convenient for both Bristol and Bath

Local attractions

You won't need to travel far to get started on the outings and activities – it’s only a few minutes' walk to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, to meet farm animals, walk among (animatronic) dinosaurs and enjoy the play areas and rides. If that's not your style, you can instead stroll to Active Outdoors for paddleboarding, archery and axe throwing, among other activities. Further chances to exercise your competitive streak are close by at Stockwood Vale Golf Club or Congo Falls Adventure Golf (both 10 minutes’ drive). If you’d rather take in the scenery, there are plenty of paths around for walks and bike rides, and Avon Riverside station is 10 minutes’ drive away for heritage rides on the Avon Valley Railway. Although the rural offerings are great, so are the nearby cities. Both Bristol and Bath are easy to get to by bus or train – choose Bristol for the SS Great Britain, M Shed, Bristol Aquarium and We The Curious, or head to Bath for a historic stroll around the Royal Crescent, Bath Abbey and Roman Baths.
