Nice place though we had some confusion about the pitch boundaries. We drastically over reached into an adjoining pitch. We shifted our awning the next morning. It was a very quiet place and I enjoyed 6 days of local cycling during the first week of November. Just off the A303, an easy find! Thanks.
Peaceful

Common sense and kindness please.
Respect each others space and privacy
Please don't be silly with the fire pits and respect peoples peace in the evenings.
We do open the bar on a Fri/Sat evening through the season but its generally an early night (10pmish) and not a nightclub raucous venue, most people don't want lots of noise late at night and the sound carries here, but some joy in a bar round a log burner is encouraged!
Please adhere to the 5MPH down the track and on the campsite.
Please bag up dog waste and keep them on leads.
Please don't leave children unattended especially near animals and their pens.
Please respect the 5 private residential mobile homes/cabins private garden spaces
Things to do on site and in the Wincanton area
You will also be within easy reach of many famous attractions. The site is 40 minutes from Stonehenge and Glastonbury town and Tor, whilst being 25 minutes to Longleat Safari Park and House. The Newt, Bruton, Frome, wincanton, Shaftesbury, Gillingham are all within easy reach
Fabulous fishing lakes at Higher Farm coarse fishery are 15 minutes from the site, and Todbur Manor and Shearwater are also a short 20 minute drive away to vary your fishing experiences.
There are plenty of walks in the local woodland and across farmland. It's particularly challenging to head towards Alfred's Tower, which you can see from the site, but it's a longer walk than you think! I use the all trail app and share routes and prefer to walk back from the tower to the site...its all down hill then
