  • Friendly and scenic basic site between Bristol and Bath
  • Edged by the 13-mile car-free Bristol and Bath Railway Path
  • Stroll along the banks of the Avon to local pubs serving food
Bed down between Bristol and Bath (half an hour's drive from each) at The Stables, a relaxed site where guests can unwind in the outdoors or get out on trips to two of southwest England’s most stellar cities and their scenic surroundings. This simple site set on 10 green acres of land – some of which hosts a herd of alpacas – is close to walking trails, including the 13-mile Bristol and Bath Railway Path, which runs alongside the end of the pitching field. The car-free route between these cities follows the River Avon and passes by pubs serving food and drinks with views out over the water. Wild swimming is also possible at certain spots en route (just make sure to sip on a Somerset cider after rather than before your dip…). A sports and social club is behind the site for more drinks, and shops are in Keynsham, along the local bus route (a five-minute drive away). The main top spots to sightsee are in Bath and Bristol – don’t miss the former’s Roman architecture and the latter’s graffiti art – but other excellent places are within driving distance too, like the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) and Cheddar Gorge in the Mendip Hills (40 minutes). All questions on where to roam are welcome at the park: the owners are laidback and friendly, wanting guests to really get to know this pretty area. The site's facilities are basic (it’s got four portable toilets, drinking water and chemical disposal), which is reflected in the budget-friendly pitch price, and it welcomes well-behaved dogs as long as they're kept on leads around the grounds.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Relaxing, plenty of space, clean and tidy site that is very well kept. Countryside feel although you are very close to amenities.

Disliked More of a recommendation than a dislike.
A drinking water point at the bottom of the field as there is only one at the top of the field.

Peaceful but incredibly convenient location. Super clean and tidy with a lovely strip…

Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, solo, no cars)

Liked Peaceful but incredibly convenient location.
Super clean and tidy with a lovely strip of wild grass to break up the campsite, which made it feel private.
Great that there was a combination lock so you could let yourself in and out, and that the faculties were super clean and tidy.
Also superb location for the cycle path and getting into to Bath and Bristol.
Definitely coming back

Fantastic, quiet little gem.

Emily B.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I love the fact that the whole middle of the field is left wild. It makes it feel secluded and is amazing for insects. The trees were alive with birdsong. You couldn’t hear the Road. The toilets were lovely and clean. It was nice and quiet. We were able to have a fire in a firepit. The pitches are perfectly level. Lovely flat field. Great views with access to local walks and the Avon river. Less than 30 minutes drive from Bristol and a few minutes from the Bristol to bath cycle path. Secure bike racks. Shop and pub 10 minute walk away.

One of my favourite sites!

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Quiet, basic campsite surrounded by nature. I absolutely love this site! The middle of the field is left unmowed as a wild meadow which is alive with the sound of chirping, humming and buzzing as nature should sound. Sunlight dances over the swaying grass heads. This site allows you to get away from the rat race of everyday life. The site, although basic, was tidy and the portaloos were spotless on my visit. There are plenty of walks from this site, close to the monarch's way, bristol to bath cycle track, walks along the River Avon, cotswold way. I will definitely be back!

Local attractions

Head half a mile to the Avon Valley Railway for heritage train rides leaving from Bitton and running alongside the River Avon or drive to Kelston Park (10 minutes' drive) and meander around this manor house and its 75-acre grounds. The Avon Valley Adventure Wildlife Park (15 minutes) is a prime pick for combining ambles with animal attractions – this kid-friendly spot is a farm and petting zoo with a playground, small train, go-karts and riverside roams. If your watery walks here have you itching to brave bigger trails, join the Monarch’s Way long-distance route, running 615 miles from Worcester to Brighton, from Bristol (25 minutes). Make sure to check out Cheddar Gorge (40 minutes) on wanders from the park as well and seek out subterranean spots to explore like the family-friendly Wookey Hole cave (40 minutes).
