Yellowtail Camping

Easy access, good toilet and shower facilities. No issues

–

We stayed there for 1 night, and found the site exceptional, laid out well, very spacious, has a newly installed toilet and shower block.
Grass or hard standing. Being early in the season, the grass pitches were on a well drained flat field site. It’s rural, love it!
A lot of hard work has gone into this site, and is a real credit to the Craddock family, a real pleasure to meet. Thank you.

The site is in a lovely location in a quiet village on a working farm.
The site is very basic although there is a new toilet block with a single shower which was very clean, however only one of the toilets was unlocked.

Only one of the toilets (the one with the shower) was unlocked and there were no wash up facilities open.
Our stay was unfortunately spoilt by a group of men who arrived on Friday and proceeded to drink and shout until 0230, hence we left a day earlier than planned. We did let the owners know by email as they are not on site (they live locally) but there was no suggestion of a refund.
Perhaps some signs to encourage consideration for other residents would help.
For such a basic site it is expensive.

Peace and quiet, clean spacious shower facilities, the welcoming family who run the farm

Roomy site with great facilities and a friendly host

Nothing

Location and very clean site.

Toilets locked out of season.

Nothing to like really, flat small waste ground.

No facilities what so ever, toilet block locked, no warning, no other options as alternatives, but charged £36 .Spoke to son who said he would speak to his father to open toilets, ... never did

Very quiet, large pitch, loads of space, can get in and out any time with gate code.

Shame to toilets aren’t open over winter, but we knew that when we booked so not really a problem.

Nice remote area, lovely for dogs, easy access, friendly owners.

Off peak prices too high as no toilet or shower facilities

This is one of the best camping sites I've stayed at so far.
It is very quiet, even though it is only a half hour walk from Trowbridge town center, and 10-15 minutes walk from the bus stops (for the X34 from Chippenham to Frome, or the 49 from Swindon to Trowbridge). The other guests are friendly but nosy, some of them seem to be seasoned campers, I admired how quick they are at setting up/taking down their tents.
The toilets and showers blocks are not available during the winter, however I've stayed there during the summer when they were available and they were quite clean (depending on who had used them before you!), well lit, and there was hot water.
There are several taps for drinking water dotted around the site and there's an 'intelligent' gate with sensors (so you don't get squashed if you are a bit slow walking or driving in after keying in the code). The drive goes all the way to the end of the camp site so there's no risk of your car or camping van getting stuck in a rut.
The owners are friendly but not nosy, and I've had a lovely time watching them gather the sheep and move them from one paddock to another, with the help of Border Collies.
There are plenty of walks around, you can spot or hear woodpeckers, buzzards, kestrels and owls, and there's also a military airfield not far away so you often get to see military planes and helicopters practising during the daytime.
