The urinal doesn't drain. Shower full of mud and hair. Water tap wastes around 5L of water with every push. Garbage rotting away in washing up facilities. Unfriendly communication over the phone. Unknown inconsiderate individuals leave engine running and car radio blaring for 15mins at 05.00am No directions on where to go upon arrival. Zero lighting at night.
Excellent little campsite

I hadn’t twigged that a fishing lake would attract loads of single blokes who are up fishing late into the night. Felt a bit of a weird campsite for a young family. But facilities were great. Clean toilets and lovely washing up area.
Amazing through and through

Nice little campsite between Bath and Bristol. Toilet and shower were okay and clean, but the kitchen dishwashing facility was not good, with only cold water.

Rural and rugged. Basically a farmer's field with no pitching identification. Clearly pitches for people working locally and not on holiday. Soft grass difficult to get off site. Tractor tracks should have been my clue here. Refused entry onto field where facilities were by persons unknown. Spent one night there and moved on. Didn't feel like I could leave my van or awning unattended. Dogs were able to run around etc. Don't want my money back or anything. I believe the good reviews. Not for me as solo traveller with family local.
Nice, quiet and cosy

Great little set up and relaxed, easy going feeling. Just felt the toilet and showers were a bit limited. 1x WC/ shower/ wash basin for men and I believe 2 WC/ 1x shower for ladies. Also don't forget your mosquito repellent as you're amongst lakes. Quite clearly they are making improvements all the time!

This site is fantastic! With a range of fields you can choose from a range a views and range of distances from the facilities. The family who own and run the site are very welcoming and helpful, and will happily tell you lots about the area and its history. The location of the site itself provides an easy walk into a lovely town called Bitton. You can also walk to quite a few shops if you don't mind the longer trek. Otherwise, these are all in an easy drive. Bristol is also in an easily drivable distance. The toilets and shower are kept well cleaned and the shower is lovely and refreshing. Couldn't have asked for better!

Pretty enough little campsite in a nice rural spot but the toilets/showers let it down. Fine if you have your own.
Perfect getaway

We were a little skeptical due to the price, but it turned out to be one of the best value holidays we’ve ever taken. Site manager went above and beyond to make sure we knew everything we needed to know and had everything we needed. Thanks Pete for a perfect stay!

A friendly and welcoming owner and a great location with a nicely landscaped site, making for plenty of private pitches. It was a lovely place to spend a couple of wet and windy July nights. Many thanks!!

Stayed for just one night. The positives were that this is a very basic site. No frills, no site "police", very relaxed and very quiet. It was nice to hear the local wildlife, donkeys and horses nearby. A very good sleep. the negatives and improvements for me were that it was not the greatest first impression, with containers dotted around the site and overall unkept appearance of the site. Lack of maintenance. No hot water in women's showers (early evening). Slight smell from the toilet area. I won't return but if you're fishing and want a stay over it's okay. This site has potential though..
Clean and peaceful place for campers

Had a short stay which will rank as one of the best. Had a very special weekend that will stay in our memories for a very long time. My 8 year old made several friends and they chased each other with games throughout our stay. This is a family campsite where you don't get tv's and radios blaring - just the sound of children playing or the wildlife sounds around you. Quiet hours between 10 and 7 were respected. I learnt to fish and the owner Peter gave me some patient guidance on what to do and what not to do but I caught 10 silvers throughout the afternoon. I'll go for the carp once I have some experience behind me! The lakes were full of wildlife which my son and I spent some time together identifying. BBQ in the evening. The site is made up of a few smaller enclosures which was a really good set up. The facilities are basic but as they don't offer to be anything more I thought this was fair. A WC and hot shower was good enough for us. However value for money was very high indeed. Will definitely visit again. (Ps. 7 miles from Bath).
Amazing weekend!

The campsite is rural so feels quite wild, however there is lots to access within driving distance. The lakes are very pretty and stocked with fish. My husband had a go and it was busy. Worth remembering that you need to pay for fishing. Campsite rules are clear and mean this is an ideal site for families. Quiet time after 10, fire pits available for rent. Pitches are large and accessible. Drinking water available. The toilet blocks are minimal. I like the fact that the hand wash and toilet paper is provided. I do however think they could have been cleaner. I saw people cleaning them, but because they were heavily used they got mucky. We would definitely stay here again. The bell tent area looked lush and we would like to try those. Dog friendly. You can see and hear wildlife. We stayed on the campsite all weekend and chilled, shops nearby to buy provisions. Recycling and bin area available. This was emptied regularly.
