  • Riverside site within the grounds of an adventure and wildlife park
  • Within a 25-minute drive of Bristol and Bath; Cheddar Gorge 45 minutes
  • Dog-friendly; experience the park out of hours; watersports rental
The name tells you two key things about Avon Valley Adventure Park – namely, that it sits right on the banks of the River Avon, and that it is within the grounds of the eponymous park. This translates into 24-hour access to the wildlife park for the ultimate out-of-hours experience. Now, how’s that for a welcome to the West Country? This dog-friendly site is packed with adventure. You can catch a sunrise with the alpacas or watch the sun go down over the Dinosaur Valley, with its huge collection of animatronic dinosaurs. There are also plenty of outdoor play areas in the adventure park. There are paddleboards and kayaks for hire (and lessons available, if you’ve never had a go before), or you’re welcome to bring your own. Afterwards, rinse off in the site’s hot showers. You may very well be quite hungry after taking advantage of the riverside location. If you’re planning to be chef for the break, there are firepits for hire; if you don’t fancy cooking, the burger kitchen will take care of the chopping and sizzling for you. The Deck bar is open every evening during high season and runs a happy hour. With roaming animals and inclusive entry to the adventure park (from your arrival date to your departure date), this is a very family-friendly getaway. A final bonus point: there are excellent access roads, with Bristol, Bath and the Monarch’s Way within a 25-minute drive.

What customers say

Avon Valley Adventure Park offers campers extended access to the park, which is a major highlight. Children enjoy a wide range of activities, with the foam party and slip and slide being popular. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. However, numerous reviews mention issues with the basic toilet and shower facilities, including doors that don't lock properly, cleanliness concerns, and occasional blockages. Some guests also found the food and drink prices expensive.

Liked Park is nice. Some lovely things to do. And great that open later for campers and community on fridays
Staff very friendly and helpful.

Disliked The adventure park could have a bit of TLC. In removing/replacing any thing damaged. And the doors to the toilets by the camp grounds need some TLC. They dont shut or lock.

Liked Staff and activities are excellent. So much to occupy the children and therefore the adults able to enjoy themselves too!

Disliked Would like separate sinks for hand washing and dishwashing. If cleaning aids were available, we would be happy to do interim clean.

Liked Bijna niks

Disliked De camping is saai het is gewoon een grasveld. De mensen zijn niet zo aardig . Het is vooral gericht op het park er is niks om te doen op de camping alleen naar het park gaan. Het park is ook een beetje verouderd. Er staat een Eland alleen ze zeggen dat hij het leuk heeft maar ja. Er is zelfs een vos .

Liked The park itself was amazing for my 4, 6, 9 yrs old boys for 1.5 days you can use the park for the full day on the day you leave. We had to head off but had two nights and spent from 3pm on the day we arrived until 8pm in the park and a full day the next day. I think more than two whole days and they'd have been getting bored but for the time we had it was back to back fun and all the different things going on.

It's really nice that when the park shuts at 5pm (after the awesome foam party ends) everyone camping / staying stays on and so you then have an evening park scene with the kids playing in the really good sand and water pit or the impressive indoor playbarn (which has slides and other things to keep any child from 2 to 10 entertained for a good time) both of which near to the bar.

The camping pitches were decent enough and no-one partying late when we were there like some of the reviews say and I suspect most of the time the guests are all with young children and so the general vibe is family friendly.

Disliked The toilet doors are still a bit tough to shut properly for some of them. It didn't really bother me and my boys but I can see how it could be annoying for some.

There is a train track just the other side of the camping area but they run only every half hour (or so it seems) and aren't that noisy (I'm a fairly light sleeper and didn't get woken).

Liked Great place, good facilities as advertised, pitch was close to everything. Some lovely families staying as well and everyone respectful of noise etc, and given the access to the park this was ideal for kids. Thank you we had a great time.

Liked The pizza.

Disliked The toilets and showers were disgusting and there were sanitary towels stuck to the walls of one of the shower cubicles. They aren’t cleaned very often, lucky if it’s cleaned once a day. No lights in the showers and gaps so you can see in. Some toilet doors don’t lock so you have to go in pairs. Got walked in on at one point which wasn’t fun. There was a storm with thunder last night, power went out, went to ask if they could reset the breaker but was shouted at, told to get off the property and that they will call the ranger. Got up this morning, still no power, toilets in complete darkness as no windows. Most of the fun stuff in the adventure park was closed which was crazy because it was a bank holiday weekend and the school holidays as well as a heatwave. The website had photos of a slip and slide, doesn’t look like it’s been used in quite some time. The climbing frame was shakey, the go carts were all chained up, the mini train was out of service and the drop slide outside was chained off. This place has seen better days and it wasn’t cheap to camp here so we were really disappointed. We won’t be back! The website also has paddle boarding and kayaking. That’s not a thing here, the launch ramp is overgrown and full of duck poop and the water was brown with large boats coming back and forth. All in all, not what was advertised.

Local attractions

From ancient Roman baths to elegant Georgian architecture, the city of Bath (20 minutes’ drive) is well worth a visit. Check out the collections at the Victoria Art Gallery and the Holburne Museum (keep an eye on their calendar for interactive workshops), or follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen, who lived here for five years in the early 1800s. Explore the legacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel in Bristol (25 minutes), where the famed Victorian engineer built the vertiginous Clifton Suspension Bridge and the passenger liner SS Great Britain. Bristol is also known for its street art, which includes Banksy’s take on The Girl with the Pearl Earring. In the Mendip Hills National Landscape, Cheddar Gorge (45 minutes) is a limestone gorge with guided tours of subterranean caves. There are more limestone caverns at Wookey Hole (45 minutes), which have a millennia-long history ranging from Neanderthals to Celt tribes and the Romans.
