Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Location
Disliked: Area is not flat and very wet causing muddy conditions in areas. As we were leaving the tires spun do to the conditions ( not the area was already a mud pit) and a gentleman took it upon himself to yell at us for making a mess and making the park look nasty.

Liked: The site was in a lovely location. It was really peaceful and all the campers were super respectful.
Disliked: Although this is a cheaper camp site, sadly the facilities were poor. They only had two toilets in the womens, and one in the men’s. (Plus a urinal) There was no hot water for washing dishes, and the only tap with a ‘Drinking Water’ sign didn’t work, so we were unsure if the others were safe to drink. There was a charge of £6 per dog which I normally don’t mind paying but here I didn’t really see what that cost covered. We didn’t have any welcome into the site, no one checked we’d even booked so we just parked where we thought was best. The toilets do not have any lights, nor is the camp lit of an evening which made things a little difficult.

Not a campsite. It’s a sloped corner of a muddy field.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Pretty much everything. Pulled into the site, then drove away and booked elsewhere. It’s not really a campsite. Its a muddy corner of a sloped field with a few caravans that look abandoned and other than a fishing lake zero facilities. Presumably this place appeals to the fishing crowd but it’s certainly not for me. Even £15 felt like a rip off.

Liked: Nice fishing lake
Disliked: Toilets and showered were very dirty ,poor lighting leading to toilets and no pathway ,and due to heavy rains the site was saturated and very muddy ,so muddy we could not use a pitch and played it safe and parked the caravan in the carparking area for the night.

More of a long term rental for caravans than a peaceful site

Liked: Wildlife and friendly stables staff next door who let our little ones say hello to the ponies. For the price it’s good but I wouldn’t come back with little ones and definitely not in the rain as the place turns into a quagmire.
Disliked: Generators running for most of the night, strange man on the phone doing laps of the camp site arguing about his Mrs. Had to climb over a mound of mud to get to shower block, pictures attached, not a huge deal but doing it in the night with little ones who need a wee isn’t ideal. No one there to show you where to camp or park up, we just grabbed a spot. Feels like more of a working farm that rents out motor homes to their staff than a peaceful camp spot, shipping containers and IBC containers lined the site. If you don’t have a 4x4 with decent tires be careful where you park as the place is quite muddy in the rain.

Liked: My friend and I came for a night’s stay in our camper vans to have some chill time. There are 3 fields but due to all the wet weather we have had we opted to stay in the carpark. It was extremely peaceful and safe. Peter was so nice he popped along to say hello and see if we were ok and he came by again in the morning. There are separate male and female shower and toilet facilities. I would definitely come back, I bet it’s even better in the sunshine.

Liked: The guy on the phone was a bit helpful
Disliked: There is no reception to greet you. You will have to find your own way, park wherever you want. The facilities were difficult to find, i had to call the guy to ask where they were located. I want to preface this by saying we stayed on a rainy night (Rain wasn’t heavy just drizzling the whole night). The way to the toilet was ankle deep mud. There was no way to get there without wellies. Ruined our shoes trying to get there the first time so we resorted to wearing bin bags on our shoes and pissing in bottles! I would not recommend this place to anyone

From the manager: Good Afternoon Mrs Hale, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are very disappointed to hear that your stay was not as enjoyable as we would have hoped! However, we just wanted to add a little context to your concerns. Arrival time onsite was 21:30pm, as you will see on Pitchup, arrival time is from 14:00 until 21:00. Despite this you were directed to a suitable camping spot for the evening (via telephone) and in a subsequent call directed to the toilet block. Unfortunately; as we are sure you are aware, Bristol and much of the south west is in flood conditions, with significant rain fall overnight on the 17th. For future winter camping trips we would strongly encourage Wellington Boots. We wish you well with the rest of your trip. BVL Management Team
