Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre and Campsite

Mi è piaciuto Lots to do from site
Able to find quiet space off pitch
Relaxed site
Location by forest for walks
Activities good (would be great to be able to buy a bundle rather than individual), nice to find some free activities available
Helpful reception and shop, cafe looked good but didn't visit it.

Non mi è piaciuto Seemed a bit tight, windy track to get onto field, slight wheel spin leaving up the hill. Didn't find many toilets or showers, queues at times. Sad to see litter around & lots of disgarded tent pegs on ground.

Mi è piaciuto Space, set out of the pitches was good and shop well priced! Staff came across were good and the archery teacher was fab!

Non mi è piaciuto Toilets/showers by reception weren’t great.. water leaking into the loos. Thankfully we were close to boat house so could use those instead just a further walk

Mi è piaciuto The space, different areas had their own play field, cafe good food,

Non mi è piaciuto The lack of availability for activities, the lack of equipment (bring your own table tennis bat and ball) no cafe/seating around the lakes. Busy showers and toilets, not enough. Sloping and bumpy pitches

Mi è piaciuto This is our 2nd visit as a group of 5 families. The location is great and there is a lot to do on site, and in the surrounding area. The children loved the freedom of the cycle routes and playing in the forest - we hardly saw them! We also tried the kayaking which was OK, but a bit disorganised. Cafe was great, and the shop was reasonably priced. Showers were nice and hot. We will return.

Non mi è piaciuto We were quite far from any toilets which wasn't great in the middle of the night! They need more facilities for campers. Often a queue to do the washing up, for the toilet or the shower. There is also no where to put/hang your things in some of the facilities.

Mi è piaciuto Trees, activities, location

Non mi è piaciuto Toilets were a trek away, activities hard to find spaces need to book really early.

Mi è piaciuto This was our 4th stay at Avon Tyrrell, the site is great, beautiful forests and walks around the site. The activities for the kids are top notch. The site has a really lovely chilled and nice vibe with other families being friendly and nice to be around. The team there are great this year they helped me with a top box emergency.

We brought my sister and brother in law with their 2.5 year old this was the brother in laws first camping experience, and he loved it. It is a great site for the first time camper, facility’s are good and atmospheres are chilled.

Non mi è piaciuto Nothing

Mi è piaciuto We've been coming here for years. The site is beautiful, the lake is stunning and they do a really good job with keeping the grounds looking nice. The location is perfect. There's so much for the kids to do even as they've got older, and it feels very safe so we don't worry if we haven't seen them in a while! The showers were fine, water is warm and there seems to be someone cleaning very regularly and often, but as with all places where there are lots of people it gets dirty between cleans. Still very clean considering! The pitch we stayed on was on a slope so difficult to pitch but we managed sleeping on the down slope ok as it was only 2 nights, and the size of the pitches are great with the picnic benches. We were told that it was 11am checkout whereas I thought it was 10 so maybe that's changed. We've not used the WiFi or café so can't comment on that, but the café is only open for the main holidays I think, great if you don't fancy cooking or for coffee in the morning.
Bear in mind the airplanes go over often... I always forget and each time I cringe but they stop after 11pm ISH. This stay we were treated with a fly over from the red arrows so there's always a plus!

Non mi è piaciuto I think it's such a shame the big firepit is only available for private bookings.. has this changed? As in the past there was a big fire going and everyone seemed to be down there and we cooked our marshmallows and chatted with fellow campers which was really nice... This last stay there was no-one using it for the whole time which is such a shame.. I really think this is a massive mistake and a money grab tbh. There should be communal firepits for those of us that can't bring them!

Also, we didn't expect the weather to be so hot and would've loved to go on the lake but there was no availability online for kayaking or anything on the lake... This also seems a shame as if people are there and there's staff there, you should be able to book something on the day as it seemed really quiet and this would be a better way of making more money than charging to use the firepit....
