  • 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 quiet, secure campsite with spacious, level pitches & clean facilities, featuring great showers. Guests loved the friendly welcome, rural setting, and solo traveler-friendliness. Minor notes on washing-up hot water and occasional queues.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Toilet and shower facilities were very good, clean . Plenty of hot water. Location good, near to village pub.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities were plenty for the number of people staying while we visited. (Two cubicles with showers, toilets and sink, two cubical with toilet and sink). But if the site was busier it would mean queuing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Definitely go again.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked The security of the site was good along with very clean showers and toilets. It was also very quiet.
The surrounding nature and wildlife are beautiful; we enjoyed watching the bats fly around at dusk.
It's a basic campsite with nothing more than a field and washrooms. Very peaceful.

Disliked There was no hot water for washing up.
The gentleman maintaining the site was rather grumpy. Didn't speak unless spoken to and even then not a jolly host. We were only one of 4-6 people/families staying there so not overwhelmed with people giving him hassle.
We had a dog with us and couldn't let him off the lead at all (their rules). I understand this if the site is busy, you don't want lots of loose dogs running around, but we were one of 4 pitches there and vastly spread out.
There is nowhere surrounding where you can directly walk your dog without going into the village to a small field. Basically it's a car journey (I can highly recommend Clanger Wood). It's also a little out of the way with no nice pubs within walking distance or places to eat.

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.
