  • 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) at The Stables, a relaxed site where guests can unwind in the outdoors or get out on trips to two of southwest England’s most stellar cities and their scenic surroundings. 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 four 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.

What customers say

Highly rated, peaceful site with spacious, level pitches and a quiet vibe. Great value, exceptionally clean port-a-potties, and good recycling. Excellent location for the Bristol to Bath cycle path, river walks, and bus links to both cities. Basic but well-maintained, offering a relaxing, natural environment with friendly hosts.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The Stables is a wonderful discreet and understated campsite. It is so refreshing to stay in a campsite where there is no electrical hookup points, it means the campers are more genuine people who really like the outdoors.
The middle of the campsite has a lovely meadow, encouraging butterflies and birds.
I would thoroughly recommend The Stables.

Disliked No complaints at all.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Such a quiet peaceful site, love the areas left untouched for nature to flourish in the centre of the site rather than cramming more pitches in.

Disliked Really dont want to complain about anything but a shower would be fantastic

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The wide open space which makes up the camping site.
All very neat and beautifully maintained.

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).
