  • Small CAMC members-only site halfway between Bristol and Bath
  • Next door to Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park
  • Dogs and kids welcome; farm shop less than a mile away on foot
Booking a stay halfway between Bath and Bristol, and with easy access from the A4, is an excellent idea – it means you’ll be able to make trips to both of these vibrant (but very different) cities, and also try out a whole lot of fabulous attractions and activities in the Somerset countryside. Occupying this attractive location is Avon Valley Farm Certified Location, a small touring site for CAMC members only. The handful of pitches here are part of an arable farm – it’s a working farm, but generally fairly peaceful and calm (although there can be some noise from the nearby Bristol-to-Bath railway line sometimes). The pitch area of the site is pleasingly flat and populated with plenty of hedges and trees for privacy and shade. It’s a scenic place, too, with views towards Kelston Roundhill and the River Avon, and several paths leading from the farm down to the river, to the village of Saltford or to the Bristol-Bath cycle path. It's also easy to stroll to the nearby farm shop (just under a mile away), which serves great breakfasts and sells a good range of local produce, including local meat. Back at base, you’ll be staying on a serviced pitch with access to toilets, chemical disposal point and waste facilities. Dogs and kids are welcome – and the latter will probably be delighted to find that they're staying next door to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, which is open through school holidays and for some special events (such as the October pumpkin patch and Bonfire Night fireworks display).

What customers say

Peaceful rural site, spacious pitches with EHU/water. Great for exploring Bath/Bristol by bus, plus dog walks with views. Basic but good value. Toilets need an update and better cleaning. Train noise minimal.

Michael R.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (members only)

Liked It was only 10 minutes walk to the main road with easy access to the bus, great for visiting Bristol and Bath.
Well spaced pitches with hard standing.

Disliked Toilets weren't the best, although the floors were freshly painted it would benefit from a deep clean.

Liked The proximity to the Avon Valley Adventure Park is brilliant.
The road traffic was quiet, it was nice to see the sheep close by.

Disliked Lots of weeds, nettles, the sites feels a bit run down. The lid for the chemical waste was a bit hazardous and felt like it was about to collapse, toilets basic.
Needs a grey waste point to be totally self contained.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. I have got someone to come in and fix the lid of the chemical waste point - thank you for pointing that out. Sorry that you won’t come again.

Clean facilities. Level pitches. Convenient for both Bristol and Bath

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your comment. The site is well represented online with the facilities all listed. My apologies that the lavatories were dirty. They are kept as clean as I can but we did have some issues with flooding in June/July.

Excellent site, for a quick overnight stop mid journey.

Liked The peace and quiet, wasn't disturbed by another soul.

Disliked The unexpected trains that flew past randomly. No toilet/shower facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. Although we don’t have showers we do have lavatories on site, which I know have received bad press in the past. They are clean and functional but they are not the Ritz! Many thanks for staying with us!

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. My apologies for the barking dog - the owners were informed that it was unacceptable on the site. I do hope the update the lavatories as soon as I’m able!

Local attractions

You won't need to travel far to get started on the outings and activities – it’s only a few minutes' walk to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, to meet farm animals, walk among (animatronic) dinosaurs and enjoy the play areas and rides. If that's not your style, you can instead stroll to Active Outdoors for paddleboarding, archery and axe throwing, among other activities. Further chances to exercise your competitive streak are close by at Stockwood Vale Golf Club or Congo Falls Adventure Golf (both 10 minutes’ drive). If you’d rather take in the scenery, there are plenty of paths around for walks and bike rides, and Avon Riverside station is 10 minutes’ drive away for heritage rides on the Avon Valley Railway. Although the rural offerings are great, so are the nearby cities. Both Bristol and Bath are easy to get to by bus or train – choose Bristol for the SS Great Britain, M Shed, Bristol Aquarium and We The Curious, or head to Bath for a historic stroll around the Royal Crescent, Bath Abbey and Roman Baths.
