  • Relaxed rural campsite on a working mixed farm
  • Bradford-on-Avon 15 minutes' drive; Bath half an hour
  • Family-friendly farm on the edge of a Wiltshire village; dogs allowed
Take up a plot at Yellowtail Camping for a relaxed and welcoming stay. This campsite is in the grounds of a working mixed farm in the Wiltshire countryside and it’s a top base for exploring local towns like Bradford-on-Avon or Frome, as well as UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Stonehenge and the Georgian city of Bath. Plus, the place itself is in a convenient location on the edge of the village of Hilperton near Trowbridge. With a nature pond, a designated picnic and barbecue area and key facilities like toilets, showers and chemical disposal points, Yellowtail Camping has the kind of functional amenities that make holidaying here that little bit more pleasant. Dogs are allowed here throughout the camping season too, but please make sure they're on a lead at all times and well-behaved around other guests and their pets. New Barn Farm, where the campsite is located, is about 15 minutes' walk from the Kennet and Avon Canal, where there's lots of scope for waterside walks, bike rides and trips to the pubs that are dotted along the towpath. The site is also within a mile's walking or cycling distance from a café and a coffee roaster, while Trowbridge town centre's supermarkets and railway station can be accessed in a five-minute drive or less.

What customers say

A grand spot, this, with plenty of room on the pitches. It's a lovely, quiet place. The loos and showers get a good rap for being spotless and up-to-date. Grand security with the coded gate and the staff are sound, always willing to lend a hand. Perfect for a stroll along the canal or a cycle. Just be aware of the odd time the washing-up water isn't red-hot, and the loos can get a bit busy when it's hopping. All in all, a top place for a chill-out break.

 Abigail C. 1 review

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked (Mostly) clean facilities & quiet site. Warm showers

Disliked No hot water for washing up.
No checking in instructions on the instruction email so we arrived and drove round looking for pitches marked out or some way of knowing where we needed to be. Found a spot unmarked and far away from the electric. Got halfway through setting up our tent and a guy came over to tell us we needed to move. There is a very small sign as you drive in which says you need to call on arrival and be shown where to pitch up. Apparently most people miss this sign - it’s very small and set far back from the road. It was very inconvenient and not what you need after a long drive! Instructions email really needs to have details on, every campsite we’ve stayed at does this, or has check in instructions next to the barrier

Local attractions

Scenic are many of the places around here. First off, there’s Bradford-on-Avon (15 minutes' drive) on the river Avon, where it’s easy to get fully acquainted with the water by canoeing, kayaking or taking a boat tour. There are historical heritage sites too, and it’s not the only place known for that because Bath (half an hour) has Roman baths, the pretty Pulteney Bridge and Bath Abbey. More of those historical go-tos, Stonehenge (40 minutes) has surely got to make your list for its iconic stone circle. Closer by, the 14th-century remains of Farleigh Hungerford Castle (15 minutes) and the peaceful Iford Manor Gardens (20 minutes) are some other tributes to old times. Then, when you fancy throwing some wildlife into the mix, Longleat Safari Park (30 minutes) has more than its fair share. Other cool natural spots include the limestone caverns at Wookey Hole (an hour), but for that buzz of the town, Frome (half an hour) has a historic centre and Wells (an hour) is packed with events, eateries and museums.
