About Stowford Manor Farm
Nestled amidst the peaceful surroundings of the River Frome and Stowford Farm, this is a beautiful spot to set up camp. It's just a short five minute drive from the historic town of Bradford-on-Avon and only 15 minutes from Bath, an ideal base for exploring. On site, this family-run farm offers a diverse range of activities. Meet the traditional Jersey milking cows to a bustling community of local craftsmen hosting workshops, there is something for everyone. River swimming, boating and paddling is popular, while cream teas are a local favourite too! Welcoming tents and tourers, the site is split into three fields. One features 20 non electric grass pitches. These pitches are located on the picturesque Tagglemead camping field and are perfect for tents and campervans. For those who prefer to bring their caravan and motorhomes, the site also offers ten grass pitches with optional electric hookups across two fields, ensuring plenty of space. The river runs down the middle of the fields, providing a serene and peaceful backdrop for your stay. Dogs are welcome.
The Carriage is open all year round. Camping pitches are open from April to November.
Site facilities include three toilets with sinks inside the washhouse. There are sinks with running hot water for washing and separate washing up sinks with hot and cold water. The washhouse also has two showers that require 50p to use, and WiFi is also available at a charge.
You can buy unpasteurised Jersey milk, farm sausages and bacon from the farmhouse, along with cream teas, which are served daily. The Poplars pub is also just five minutes from the site.

Just returned from 3 days camping at Stowford Manor. Fabulous and somewhat quirky facilities which added to the overall experience on the farm. Beautifully hot water in both showers and washing up area. We ordered both the BBQ box and the breakfast meat boxes. All Stowford Farm reared meat, eggs from the neighbouring farm. Great value at £8 and £10 respectively and the meat was absolutely delicious. Sorry not to have been able to have the cream tea as our stay was a bit too short. Also missed the purchase of the Jersey cow milk, which looked delicious. One negative comment would be the noise of the traffic from the nearby road, which is unavoidable.

The campsite is easy to find from the main road (A36) and well sign posted. It's a small site and not crowded with good facilities and added bonus of delicious cream teas and pizza. The river was the high point of our stay and we enjoyed paddling, swimming and rowing our dingy up and down. Something for all ages. There's lots of space to play in and explore and some farm animals to meet. Showers and toilets were regularly cleaned and easy to access. The staff are polite, helpful and relaxed and other campers easy to befriend. There isn't a shop but there are two garages nearby - both within a ten minute drive. It was just so lovely, we had a fab time - thank you so much!

Things to do on site and in the Trowbridge area
The biggest pull to Stowford Manor Farm is the river that runs through the site. Children can spend hours playing in it, swaying on the rope swing and boating in calm waters.
For something a bit more, the only river swimming club in the country is located just 200 metres from the campsite in Farleigh Hungerford. Visitors can become instant members for a nominal fee and enjoy this one-of-a-kind attraction.
The farm is home to a number of skilled craftspeople who offer workshops and share their expertise with visitors. Children can also attend the farm's education centre for two days a week, learning about the natural world and the importance of sustainable farming practices.
Day trips can include the beautiful historic town of Bradford-on-Avon (10 mins away), and the striking Roman city of Bath, only 15 minutes away.
Longleat Safari Park is less than half an hour away and popular with families. Stonehenge, Glastonbury and Avebury are also good day trips from the site.

- Farleigh Castle (5 minutes)
