  • 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.

Bell tent (adults only)

Liked Really nice and peaceful place. Allowed campfires and disposable BBQs. Around 20-30 minute drive to both bath and Bristol which is perfect.

Disliked The showers are quite open to everyone so put me off in having one or had to go at very specific times when no one is around

Amazing stay! Great value.. beautiful scenery

Matt H.

Unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked Wild camping with toilets and cold shower
Quiet pitches
Good spacing between pitches
Friendly host
Lovely pub short walk away
Even the road being somewhat near by, I live in a sleepy village and it never bothered us or interrupted any sleep for us. We stayed for over a week and didn't want to leave. Henry the owner was very accommodating and even allowed us to stay an extra day at short notice.

Disliked Nothing comes to mind.

Ok, but not great. Cheap & near. WilI look further afield next time.

Paul M.

Unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked Felt wild’ish & pretty woods once we found them. Decent fire pits and log seats etc.

Disliked Main road v noisy & close.
Despite the 11pm quiet rule, the neighboring field were raving until 1am.
Not that easy to navigate around the site as a first time visitor.

From the manager: We are saddened to read you didn't have a great stay with us Paul! Due the campsites wild-ish nature it can be quite an adventure trying to find a pitch or area that suits, but we do provide a map upon booking and there is one on display in the main car park. Thankfully its rare, but if we are ever notified of excessive noise by other campers we always act swiftly to deal with it, and are based on site 24/7 to do so.

Unpowered forest floor tent site

Liked We loved camping here this weekend. Picking your own spot was great. The owner was quick to reply with any questions, and often on site. The pitch we chose (9) was clean and the ground soft for pitching up on. It was lovely and private, we also had lots of animals walking by the tent at night, and lots of birds. Can't recommend enough. The toilets were clean and smell free. Each pitch was within a 2 minute walk of the car park which meant it was easy to unload the car. Didn't brave the shower, but looked clean. So cheap and amenities near by. Can't wait to return 😊

Liked Beautiful woodland surroundings with secluded pitches. Henry the manager was very welcoming and helpful. All the facilities were clean and well kept. I bought a copy of one of Henry's books and it made for a very entertaining fireside read. The perfect place if you want to hang out in the woods and get away from it all. After reading the book I plan on coming back and try out a foraging course and the workout.

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).
