  • Secluded 34-acre farm within half-hour’s drive of Bristol and Bath
  • A 10-minute woodland walk to a pub serving food; bus stop nearby
  • Barbecues and firepits allowed; foraging workshops available for a fee
Choose your own pitch at the 34-acre Dagger Wood Campsite. Among lots of leafy greenery, this park is on a family farm in Clutton and just half an hour’s drive from both Bristol and Bath. Eye it all up from the seating areas and picnic benches or while settling down by one of the firepits. Barbecues are permitted at this dog-friendly park as well, so get the blaze going and plonk yourself down for alfresco eats. If cooking is a no-no when you’re on a hol, wander 10 minutes through woodland to a pub serving meals. After other activities besides ambling? The team here also run outdoor pursuits such as wild food foraging workshops and fitness bootcamps (additional fees apply). If you fancy a ride on a tractor, then your wish is the owners’ command. The amenities at this site may be limited (two cold open-air showers, four composting toilets and fresh running water), but the friendly father and son team will pull out all the stops to make yours a comfortable stay. As the site is large, with various levels of uneven ground and hills, they can also lend a hand if mobility is an issue. If you’re leaving the car at home, the nearest bus stop is a short walk down the road and public transport runs to Bristol’s centre and Glastonbury. There's a car park for vehicles, as parking next to your pitch is not permitted.

What customers say

Great for "wild camping" with private, spacious pitches in woodland. Basic but clean facilities (compost toilets, cold showers). Relaxed vibe, great wildlife, campfires, and friendly staff. Some traffic noise & uneven ground.

Unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked Very nice woodland with plenty of interesting features. Camping is on the wild side, a welcome change from the usual boring flat rectangle field of most campsites.

Superb fire pit and benches, stumps for wood chopping - everything you need.

The pitches are secluded from each other, you are unlikely to see another tent from your own pitch, I saw a Muntjack or similar deer at the site!

Disliked Some pitches are sloped or lumpy

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Great back-to-basics campsite. We camped in one of the small clearings. Enough room for 3 small tents and feels good under the trees. Cold showers not really that cold in Sep and ideal to wash mud off. Just about perfect.

Disliked Some guy with a very penetrating voice in one of the other clearings over 100m away - even through earplugs! Not Dagger Wood’s problem but keep it down after hours please 🙏

David M.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked I like the fact that it's wild camping with composting toilets.
And the fairly new planted trees and camping spots.
Thanks Henry. 😊

Disliked I don't like the fact that most of the pitches are sloping, it could be leveled off somewhat.
The fairly new planted trees need to have the lower branches trimmed and some of the trees thinned out to bring light in and bringing other plants and wildlife to the area below the trees.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Wanna go back again.

Liked Proper rustic camping, loved it. We went swimming in the river and had campfire every night. Loads of room in the field for playing games.
Portoloos were fine.

Disliked Bit loud one night but sounded like it was coming from another camp site. Kids slept through it.

Liked Such a beautiful campsite. Each pitch has it's own private space. Compost toilets are clean and serviced daily. Customer service is fabulous - quick responses via texts.
This campsite is very affordable if you have a large family.

Liked Super helpful site manager, clean, quiet, lovely pitch tucked away with lots of trees, toilets and bins emptied frequently

Disliked Could have a curtain for a bit more privacy in the shower, but the water pressure is great!

Local attractions

Check out Chew Valley Lake (10 minutes’ drive) if you’re into birdwatching and fishing, or attempt to get a glimpse of some of the UK’s native four-legged animals at the Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park (20 minutes). For city slicking once you’ve ticked off walks and cycle rides through the Combe Down Tunnel (25 minutes), make a beeline for Bristol and see the cathedral and zoo, making sure to stop off at the Brunel-designed Clifton Suspension Bridge and SS Great Britain ship as well (25 minutes). Bath’s another unmissable urban destination – head to this spot for the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge (half an hour), then wander around Wells, a tiny city home to a cracking cathedral (30 minutes) and the gateway to the Wookey Hole Caves. If you’re into all things bohemian, drop by Glastonbury too and browse the offbeat boutiques before taking a walk up to Glastonbury Tor for fab views over the countryside (45 minutes).
