  • 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

This is a peaceful, secure, and well-maintained campsite with clean, modern facilities. Visitors praise the spacious sites, friendly staff, and lovely rural location with easy access to local amenities and canal walks. While some noted the limited number of toilets and showers during busy periods, and occasional issues with hot water for washing up, most found the value for money excellent and highly recommend the site.

Liked Very friendly, clean and helpful. Had a great night sleep and would book again. Campsite is secure and based on a working farm, was nice to see the cows. There is a farm shop next door with eggs, good quality meat would also recommend.

Liked Lovely quiet site. felt very safe and secure with a coded gate for entry and exit onto site.
Lovely facilities, great size toilet and shower block.

Disliked Only something small… The water pressure was very low and made washing long hair impossible. But the water was lovely and warm

Mary-Anne C.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Everything! Everything was clean and well kept! Toilets & showers especially.
I really liked the electric gate/gate code, it made me feel more secure as it was myself & my daughter.
It was lovely & quiet, we wasn’t bothered by anyone.
We just needed a few days quiet, and that’s exactly what we got.
We had EHU
We also walked part of the canal, which was a beautiful circular walk.

Disliked WiFi…. However it’s not a dislike for me. But there was good signal to my phone, so used my hotspot for the laptop to watch films.
(As it was raining lots over our stay)

Primitive grass campsite

Liked We were greeted at the gate by I presumed the owner. He told us where to go and gave us access code to the gate. Great open space to park,not many others around so we chose to park quite close to the shower block, which was very clean and had all the amenities required for our overnight stay. There’s also washing facilities if required for pots,pans etc. nice quiet location with only the noise from birds.

Disliked Nothing I disliked but if the site was busy I’m not sure there were adequate toilets and showers to facilitate it.

From the manager: Thank you, and we hope to see you again.

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.
