  • Dog-friendly Wiltshire retreat on a smallholding just off the A350
  • A 15-minute drive to the Kennet and Avon Canal; 35 minutes to Bath
  • A five-minute drive from pubs and takeaways; walking trails nearby
Towpath adventures, country walks, Roman baths and laidback pub crawls? If you’re liking the sound of all of the above, Littleton Retreat has the recipe. Located on a smallholding just off the A350 in Littleton, Semington, your Wiltshire wanderlust will be well treated here. Make your way to the Kennet and Avon Canal, 15 minutes’ drive away, for peaceful towpath bike rides and days of boating, or take yourself off-piste onto various local walks. Melksham, the local town, is 45 minutes’ walk from the site if you fancy a takeaway. Or perhaps you might want to plot out your own route for a relaxed, daytime pub crawl (the first pub is a short drive or cycle away) in and around Melksham. Littleton Retreat is a well-maintained site with mainly level grassy pitches. It’s a simple sort of getaway – the type where guests can fully unwind without too many distractions (unless you count the towpath adventures and Bath’s many Roman sites and cobbled streets, 35 minutes’ drive away, that is). The facilities consist of toilets, showers, a washing-up area, several drinking water points, a grey waste point, an Elsan point and a recycling waste point.

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained, and peaceful small campsite with generously sized, level pitches. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owner. Facilities are generally reported as clean and adequate, though some mention limited numbers of toilets and showers, particularly for ladies. Road noise is noted by some, but is generally not considered a significant issue. The site is well-located for local attractions and walks.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We experienced a wonderful camping weekend over fathers day weekend. The site, although busy was peaceful. The children had plenty of space to play and enjoy their time. A great outdoors experience. It is a very well kept site, beautifully looked after. We have been visiting this site for the last few years and constantly see improvement. The owner obviously puts a lot into it. We will definitely return again and again. Ady is lovely and always happy to help.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Site was flat and well looked after.

Disliked It was marketed as dog friendly which it was, but there was no place close where your dog could be exercised. If you have travelled miles to get to the campsite you want to exercise your dog close to where you are staying and not having to travel out. I did find 2 footpaths both very short one was blocked with a electric field fence, the other you get to by using either a gate or stile, walk a few yards across the field to the other stile which has been fenced and it was difficult to climb over the style but no where of getting your dog through.

From the manager: Thanks for your review, sorry that you had problems walking your dog, there are foot paths near the site and are usually very accessible, always here for advice, thanks Ady.

Very good site

Local attractions

What will Wiltshire serve you up? There’s medieval architecture, a brewery and a working set of Shire horses in Devizes (15 minutes’ drive) – that might make you feel like you’re back in the olden’ days. The same goes for Trowbridge (10 minutes), which is one of 23 Magna Carta towns (very important places 800 years back in time). Nowadays, it has a splendid weekly market and great shopping streets. Tick off a bucket list item while you’re making your way around, as the stone circle of Stonehenge (half an hour) isn’t too far away either. Avebury (half an hour) has another ancient stone circle, which is part of the Avebury World Heritage Site. If you’re not quite done with the historical itinerary, Bradford-on-Avon (15 minutes) on the river Avon has an ancient bridge, 19th-century cloth mills and old weavers’ cottages. There’s an Elizabethan manor house in Longleat (half an hour) too, but another big attraction there is the drive-in safari park where monkeys can clamber over your car and lions can stride past your vehicle.
