  • 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.

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, solo, no cars)

Liked It's a great location in between Bristol and Bath at a great price. Easily accessible by bus from both. Bus stops 5/10 minutes away. Garden centre cafe 10 mins walk. Very well stocked and good value local store 10 mins walk opposite an uninspiring pub.

Disliked The festival style toilets were really awful. Well designed compost toilets would make all the difference. I had a large dog barking aggressively at me when I came out of my tent which was a problem.

Definitely would come again if we in the area

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This was my 3rd stay in 5 weeks! It’s an absolute bargain of a stay. I enjoy everything about this campsite. Extremely peaceful but so close to the bus stop which takes to both centre of Bristol and bath. Toilets are so very clean. Shower situation isn’t a big deal, that’s what portable camping showers are for!
The alpacas are a special treat to see, occasionally see them in the amongst the bushes. The people are super friendly, as well as the owners. The cycle path to Bristol and path is so close, which is what makes this campsite super special. Hoping to get one more visit in before end of summer, fingers crossed!

Disliked Absolutely nothing

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).
