Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars, solo)
Liked Peaceful but incredibly convenient location.
Super clean and tidy with a lovely strip of wild grass to break up the campsite, which made it feel private.
Great that there was a combination lock so you could let yourself in and out, and that the faculties were super clean and tidy.
Also superb location for the cycle path and getting into to Bath and Bristol.
Definitely coming back

Fantastic, quiet little gem.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I love the fact that the whole middle of the field is left wild. It makes it feel secluded and is amazing for insects. The trees were alive with birdsong. You couldn’t hear the Road. The toilets were lovely and clean. It was nice and quiet. We were able to have a fire in a firepit. The pitches are perfectly level. Lovely flat field. Great views with access to local walks and the Avon river. Less than 30 minutes drive from Bristol and a few minutes from the Bristol to bath cycle path. Secure bike racks. Shop and pub 10 minute walk away.

One of my favourite sites!
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Quiet, basic campsite surrounded by nature. I absolutely love this site! The middle of the field is left unmowed as a wild meadow which is alive with the sound of chirping, humming and buzzing as nature should sound. Sunlight dances over the swaying grass heads. This site allows you to get away from the rat race of everyday life. The site, although basic, was tidy and the portaloos were spotless on my visit. There are plenty of walks from this site, close to the monarch's way, bristol to bath cycle track, walks along the River Avon, cotswold way. I will definitely be back!

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely campsite, clean toilets, pitches marked out sensibly with grasses left for butterflies and insects. Very quiet and restful. Buses to both Bristol and Bath just a few hundred yards away. Buses running every half hour. Would definitely visit again.
