Went and picked up a tent from the owner, had a great chat, the location is unbelievable and they clearly put a lot of time and effort into it.
Quiet and basic

A lovely setting, quiet and remote, with amazing bird life to be seen. The facilities are basic and we were glad to have a motorhome with toilet on board. We appreciate we were not visiting in the season, so facilities were perhaps not operating to fully. The site is located down narrow roads, and as we arrived in the dark, and with no electricity on site, we could not easily locate where things were. A quick call to the office give us instructions of where we could park. A friendly welcome.

Friendly staff and great location. Luncheon meat is best for the carp :)
Just a bit odd

This place is just a bit odd. Its in a handy location for a quick night out and consists of a fishing lake (which is obviously the cherished part of the establishment, not that the water looks remotely enticing to sit next to!), plus 3 other areas and a "glamping" area. The fields are not level, not mowed, hedges untrimmed and of a very difficult layout for camping fields. The facilities consist of a toilet and shower each for ladies and gents. Cars came and went late into the night. Throughout the site there appears to be random areas of scrap/rubbish/storage containers piled up, which you cut really get away from. Where there isn't this kind of thing there piles of soil or stones. For what we paid, we've had much more in terms of facilities, location or appearance - or all three! Oh, and the wood supplied was wet and smoked terribly!
Pretty good

A random campsite, not yet cared for! Strange set up. No working sinks, sign says "under construction". No problem fill your washing up bowl from the showers. The showers/toilets were not to the highest standard and smelt strongly. No ticket system, meant daily checks from the warden! Poor.
Very basic

Very basic campsite. Was quiet and had a lake. Good recycling of waste. Had clean drinking water. Chemical waste disposal was a normal toilet so lots of splashing! Showers were cold and needed another clean. Didn't see any places for fires. Arrived late so had to park in gravel car park. Didn't have time but would like to have walked around the site and lake.
Lovely site

Excellent facilities provided here with clean showers and bathroom. Drinking running water, bins for rubbish and well kept grass ideal for pitching up tent. Only downside was that the water for the shower was cold and the location had some very tiny roads leading up to it. Other than that I had a great time, I enjoyed setting up my fire.
Great campsite

A lovely little site with minimum facilities, but a very diligent owner who was about to sort out issues. A mop in the shower would allow people to clear up after themselves when they have walked grass in. Plenty of space on our visit.

Excellent place to camp. Nice walks close to Bath and Bristol and other attractions. Peter was very helpful, was there if we needed anything. We will definitely be visiting in the near future.

First time here, so quiet, loved to hear the birds sing in the mornings. Peter, the owner, is excellent, popping round for a welcoming chat and just can't do enough to make you feel welcomed. Definitely coming back 👏👏👌👌👌
Great base

Great value for money. Definitely a pit-stop type campsite rather than a family destination, but great if you're just after a base. Will absolutely visit again!
Beautiful area

Beautiful area, and a stunning fishing lake offering a pleasant walk with my dog. This is a small campsite which I'm told can be problematic for campervans in the wet. I camped on the hardstanding car parking area next to the lake, as I was only there for the night. The owner came out to greet me and was very accommodating, cheerful and made me feel very welcome. I'm not a fisherman, but if I was into fishing, you would be hard placed to find a more attractive/convenient/peaceful place to fish and camp.
Perfect little getaway

Peter, the owner of the site, couldn't be more helpful. It's a lovely spot in the middle of the countryside with both the centre of Bristol and Bath less than a 20 minute drive. There are the best walks in the area on the doorstep with amazing views and a couple of pubs to stop off in.
