  • Friendly and scenic basic site between Bristol and Bath
  • Edged by the 13-mile car-free Bristol and Bath Railway Path
  • Stroll along the banks of the Avon to local pubs serving food
Bed down between Bristol and Bath (half an hour's drive from each) with a budget-friendly stint at The Stables – trips here are top for taking in two of south-western England’s most stellar cities and their scenic surrounds. This simple site set on 10 green acres of land – some of which hosts a herd of alpacas – is close to walking trails including the 13-mile Bristol and Bath Railway Path, which runs alongside the end of the pitching field. The car-free route between these cities follows the River Avon and passes by pubs serving food and drinks with views out over the water. Wild swimming is also possible at certain spots en route (just make sure to sip on a Somerset cider after rather than before your dip…). A sports and social club is behind the site for more drinks, and shops are in Keynsham, along the local bus route (a five-minute drive away). The main top spots to sightsee are in Bath and Bristol – don’t miss the former’s Roman architecture and the latter’s graffiti art – but other excellent places are within driving distance too, like the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) and Cheddar Gorge in the Mendip Hills (40 minutes). All questions on where to roam are welcome at the park: the owners are laidback and friendly, wanting guests to really get to know this pretty area. The site's facilities are basic (it’s got three portable toilets, drinking water and chemical disposal), which is reflected in the budget-friendly pitch price, and it welcomes well-behaved dogs as long as they're kept on leads around the grounds.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Just off a main road but very quiet and relaxing. Beautifully thought out field with wild habitat in the middle and pitches around the outside. Got what you need at a generous price. Close to transport for Bristol & surrounding areas.
I was just stopping over and would definitely visit again.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: A lovely basic site with views of lovely fields. Next to a busy road but didn’t notice it at all once we were in, you can’t even see it from the site.
Toilets were really clean, nice touch of supplying women’s period products in the toilets too!
Would definitely stay here again.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Owner was incredibly kind & friendly, campsite is magical and in a perfect location - we walked to Bristol along the railway path one day and then pottered along the water the other. Toilet facilities were immaculate and, as a family of six, this site represented exceptional value. We will be back!

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

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).
