Avon Valley Adventure Park

Positiv Great place, good facilities as advertised, pitch was close to everything. Some lovely families staying as well and everyone respectful of noise etc, and given the access to the park this was ideal for kids. Thank you we had a great time.

Positiv The pizza.

Negativ The toilets and showers were disgusting and there were sanitary towels stuck to the walls of one of the shower cubicles. They aren’t cleaned very often, lucky if it’s cleaned once a day. No lights in the showers and gaps so you can see in. Some toilet doors don’t lock so you have to go in pairs. Got walked in on at one point which wasn’t fun. There was a storm with thunder last night, power went out, went to ask if they could reset the breaker but was shouted at, told to get off the property and that they will call the ranger. Got up this morning, still no power, toilets in complete darkness as no windows. Most of the fun stuff in the adventure park was closed which was crazy because it was a bank holiday weekend and the school holidays as well as a heatwave. The website had photos of a slip and slide, doesn’t look like it’s been used in quite some time. The climbing frame was shakey, the go carts were all chained up, the mini train was out of service and the drop slide outside was chained off. This place has seen better days and it wasn’t cheap to camp here so we were really disappointed. We won’t be back! The website also has paddle boarding and kayaking. That’s not a thing here, the launch ramp is overgrown and full of duck poop and the water was brown with large boats coming back and forth. All in all, not what was advertised.

Positiv Would recommend to anyone with young children. My two absolute loved it. We stayed Monday - Friday in the Nordic bell tent with the hot tub. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The park itself had everything the kids loves doing and when the weather was bad there was a big indoor play area. We will be coming back at some point next year.

Negativ The only negative thing I have to say would be the hot tub water started to smell after a couple of days. Not sure if anything can be done with it being a wood fire got tub. I really don't know enough about them or if that's normal.

Positiv Excellent large flat pitch .
We had a lovely time at the Adventure park

Negativ Was not keen that everything at the park was payments by card only.

Positiv Everything!! This place is absolutely fantastic if you have kids! There’s so much to do, and it’s effectively free to get in, as the camping is the same price as a family of 4 admission.

Negativ Toilets and showers aren’t the best.

Positiv Staff did move us to a grass pitch when we asked, and provided meal vouchers.

Negativ Motorhome pitches are just a dusty car park opposite loud and basic toilet/shower blocks. Facilities across the site were dirty and poorly maintained, including the toilets and adventure park. The bar/restaurant menu was very limited with basic items unavailable, and the food itself was poor quality and overpriced. At £100 a night this is hugely overpriced, and the photos on PitchUp do not show the true reality. When we raised our concerns, our feedback was dismissed, we were gaslit into feeling like we were the problem, and we were eventually asked to leave. Only after emailing head office did we get 60% refunded.

Positiv Proximity to Avon Valley Adventure Park is great and access to the parks non-manned attractions was good fun. The park itself is nice, lots of activities, family friendly.

Negativ I’m not sure more than 1 day at the park itself is necessary and for us it may have been better to stay off site overnight. The idea of camping here is great but not sure they’ve quite pulled it off for motorhomes/campervans as of yet. However, ‘basecamp’ looked much nicer when we wandered by and we heard great things about the pod with hot tub from a family staying there (sounded fab).

Treating the motorhome area as a stand alone campsite (minus £17 park entry fee for 2 days during summer x 3 people = £51, you’re paying £149 for 2 nights camping)
You basically stay in an extension of the car park which isnt desirable with young children. More than £70 per night seems very expensive when comparing to ‘all singing and dancing’ holiday parks we’ve been to within this trip.

Toilets/showers could use some attention/improvements, particularly the toilets doors which are difficult to close and lock.
