Yellowtail Camping

Понравилось: I really want to give this place 1 star so it doesn’t get too busy! 🤣 It’s great. The owner came to meet us when we got there and gave us the gate code and explained everything we needed to know. Lovely little set up with everything you need. Facilities are basic but really well done, clean and well thought out. It’s very secure. We had the whole camping field to ourselves other than one tent, it was fab. Location is good. Easy to get to in a big vehicle and all the locals were friendly. It’s close to the canal for nice walks and there’s a shop a walkable distance. We got a taxi back from Trowbridge train station one night and it was only £9. Plenty of bus stops and there’s one 10 mins walk away and easy to get to Bath & Bristol on the train. We drove to Castle Combe in 35 mins too.

Не понравилось: The only downsides were not having hot water in the wash up area, but I already knew that. And the water pressure in the showers isn’t great, it would have taken me ages to wash my hair but not a problem if you’re just having a shower or you have short hair. To be fair it’s a rural campsite on a farm and that’s what I loved about it so those things are more of a heads up than a dislike.

Понравилось: Lovely peaceful campsite, clean toilet and shower blocks, and helpful site manager.

Не понравилось: We had dogs with us and the campsite is small and no where to be able to walk the dogs first thing without leaving the site, we paid £90 for the dogs and there were no facilities.

От менеджера: Thank you for your feedback, We would like to add some context as the feed back as it stands lacks a little clarity. With relation to the stated cost of £90. This equates to 6 nights for 5 dogs @ £3 per dog, per night. Having conducted market research at the beginning of the season, we feel this is a competitive rate when compared with other campsites located in Wiltshire. We have a spacious campsite with regularly cut grass that allows dogs to be walked and makes it easier for owners to be responsible in relation to waste, encouraging the enjoyment of all those making use of the campsite’s facilities. As the campsite is located on a working farm, we do however request, that dogs are kept on the lead while on the campsite. We also operate this policy to help ensure the enjoyment of other campers with children or others who may or may not have an aversion to dogs, airing on the side of caution. We have found over the years these policies provide a happy medium between all those who visit the campsite and those responsible for managing and maintaining it. In relation to facilities close to the site that are specific for dogs there is the following: Four acres dog field - Secure Dog Field in TrowbridgeDog Parks Near Me We welcome any suggestions visitors may have if they feel reasonable improvements could be made that would consider the aforementioned considerations.

Понравилось: Quiet peaceful site . Toilet/ shower in same cubicle plus two separate toilets good ,but when site busy maybe not enough as site is quite large . Apart from a couple of tents we were the only ones there . Pitch was good , level, and large. Lovely walk along the canal.

Не понравилось: Rather overpriced at £40 per night. Most expensive site we’ve stayed on. No local shop.

От менеджера: Thank you for your review. With regards pricing we would like to clarify that £40 was the price for 2 adults, and that prior to deciding this summer seasons prices, research was conducted to ensure we are competitive with other campsites in Wiltshire. In relation to no local shop, there is a shop located at the garage on the roundabout junction between Hill Street and Marsh road. There is also a café in the village garden centre that offers a range of snacks and drinks, with particularly good cakes. If a more filling meal is required the Lion and Fiddle Public House is located a short walk from the campsite, that offers great Nepalese dishes. Lastly the campsite operates in association with a local organisation that provides local guide maps of Trowbridge, supplying information of other local attractions and amenities. Copies of this map are available on the campsite.

Понравилось: I recommend this site. It was booked to use as a convenient base whilst I was on one of my metal detecting weekends. I recommend it to anyone who wants a well run campsite with readily accessible, clean facilities. Secure entry and exit meant I was able to pitch a tent to hold all my food and and other essentials whilst using my small camper to sleep and for shooting off detecting for 12 hours or so. The facilities were just right, the luxury of having a hot shower after a day in the fields was great and was a real bonus. The site was easy to find and the reception once on site was good, frienly and comprehensive. I will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Не понравилось: Nothing.

Понравилось: Very safe, especially compared to other camping sites. I was actually given the address by a policeman (not the kind who is in the wrong job). The people who run the place are lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to tell them if I encountered a serious problem during my stay. The toilets/showers are clean and the water for the shower is hot, the grass is cut regularly and although the gate can be a bit temperamental (i.e. you have to key in the code more than once to get access) I have never been unable to get in or out. There are beautiful sunsets and as well as birds (buzzards, owls, woodpeckers) you can watch RAF planes. The site is very pedestrian/cyclist friendly: it is within walking distance of Trowbridge (half an hour) and the towpath (also about half an hour) and it’s also close to the bus stop (direct bus to Bath around 9am on weekday mornings, regular bus to Chippenham/Melksham or to Frome Monday to Saturday).

Не понравилось: You sometimes get bothered by men, but it's rare. I did have a guy who rubbed his crotch while looking at me one evening, then came to the door of my tent twice during the night. Fortunately I woke up both times and he went away. I guess he harboured Sleeping Beauty/Snow White fantasies. Good thing that I do not drink alcohol or take drugs (whether prescription or not) and that it’s a bit difficult to spike the food or the drink of another camper. He left the following morning. I also get the occasional guy walking back and forth (with their dog, often) and staring, or parking right next to my tent when there’s plenty of room, but it's still much, much safer than in a houseshare, and so much quieter (no blaring TV or hifi!).
