What customers say
This campsite is highly praised for its excellent location, directly opposite the Park and Ride for easy access to Bath. Reviewers frequently mention the clean facilities, friendly staff, and spacious, level pitches. While some noted issues with mud in wet weather and a lack of hot water in washing-up areas, management has indicated these are being addressed. The secure entry system is also a positive point. Despite some minor drawbacks, many guests express a desire to return.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Easy to find campsite with a secure gate system and clear instructions before arrival. The campsite itself was a lovely flat field with views over the neighbouring farm. Our boys absolutely loved watching the cows and tractors! It was easy to rent a fire pit and buy some logs and each pitch has a paving slab so you can have a fire outside your tent.
To top it all off, when we arrived we realised we’d accidentally left our tent poles at home — total nightmare! But John completely saved the day and kindly lent us his own tent. What a legend!
The toilet and shower facilities were clean and well maintained, and it was really easy to get into Bath on the bus too. We had a brilliant stay and would definitely come back.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely campsite nice and quiet I mean it is a working farm so expect to noise that comes with it. But it's great little site.
I'm a single mum with two tennagers girls, make note signal is very sporadic but nice to escape tech for a long weekend.
I'm a well seasoned camper the best showers I've had in a very long time.
Great location for exploring Bath we visited to see my brother in Bristol to so great location for there too. Shop just down the road a couple of pubs in walking distance too.
Disliked More toilets and showers, there's a total of 3 showers for everyone on site. But to be fair they are worth the wait.
Ants! Granted it's a farm and your staying in a farmers field but I had to full on anti bac and bleach the van the get rid of the pests when I got home they'd crawled up the vans waste pipe and spread like wild fire in me van 😩

Liked The location was excellent. Close to Bath and 2 good pubs. Pitches were laid out very well
Disliked All facilities were functional but they could do with a bit of an uplift
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review!
Indeed i agree, the facilities will be getting an uplift. Its our second year and I've been busy with function and operations of the facilities, aesthetics will come later - I hope to clad the outside and paint / glampify the inside.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful location. Loved watching the hot air balloons and sunsets over the fields. Wonderful green pitch with healthy grass and spring flowers. Love that you can do a campfire and slabs are provided. John the manager is a very friendly guy. Felt secure with the gates. The new toilet block was very useable and professionally finished.

we will bring the whole family next time
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked the quality and vastness of the grass pitches; The 2 Johns were helpful and friendly; easy access to Bath centre by bus.
Clean facilities and the absence of electric pitches means solar powered campers like ours enjoy the space uncluttered by white marshmellow monster vans
Recommend to friends Visit again
For £85 for 2 nights you’d expect more.
Anonymous Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked Our portaloo…disgusting, regurgitated waste when flushed.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The portaloo was ment for emergencies when busy. You could of walked to the main toilets and showers and used the facilities like everyone else.
You chose to pitch the furthest away from the facilities and use the portaloo.
If you had contacted me prior to leaving I could of pointed this out to you.
Regards
John
