Liked Lovely quiet, beautiful spot with amazing regulars and all you need.
Location was perfect, close to local facilities but far away enough to indulge in nature.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very peaceful, spacious and reasonably priced. Only 4 chemical toilets but they were clean and well supplied. Lovely view of countryside around the field and convenient for lots of walks along canal/river paths and Bristol to Bath path. Easy walk to a number of good pubs. Particularly liked the Lock Keeper - good food and reasonably priced. Campsite well cared for and owners very friendly. Will definitely be returning!

Mandy G.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great location with loads of space. I needed some place to park for the night as I had a training course in Bristol a dn doing the drive from home and back plus the training day would just be to long a day for me and the stables were the idea solution for me. Would.like to go back for a short break next time.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful little site, lady who ran it was very accommodation when a family member dropped by. Nice spacious layout with plenty of room

Disliked Not so much a dislike as an observation, toilets at the bottom of the field would be great because its quite a walk if you wake up in the night needing the loo

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars, solo)

Liked Brilliant campsite, really enjoyed my stay. Location is great, facilities are well maintained and there is plenty of room. I will absolutely be coming back.

The Premier is a short walk away and has any last minute things you might need. I would also recommend a stop in The White Hart for a pint. Short walk to the river is also very pleasant.

Local attractions

Head half a mile to the Avon Valley Railway for heritage train rides leaving from Bitton and running alongside the River Avon or drive to Kelston Park (10 minutes' drive) and meander around this manor house and its 75-acre grounds. The Avon Valley Adventure Wildlife Park (15 minutes) is a prime pick for combining ambles with animal attractions – this kid-friendly spot is a farm and petting zoo with a playground, small train, go-karts and riverside roams. If your watery walks here have you itching to brave bigger trails, join the Monarch’s Way long-distance route, running 615 miles from Worcester to Brighton, from Bristol (25 minutes). Make sure to check out Cheddar Gorge (40 minutes) on wanders from the park as well and seek out subterranean spots to explore like the family-friendly Wookey Hole cave (40 minutes).
