It is ideal for GROUPS, Families and couples who prefer a generally quiet rural Campsite. As an indication of its pleasant environment the Campsite was presented with a SILVER David Bellamy Conservation Award in 2005 at the first attempt.

Facilities for Groups include a covered Barbeque, Bar and “Field Kitchen”. There are plenty of Toilets and Showers.  The later are being improved in readiness for the 2006 season.

It is an interesting area with three small Lakes, two for Fishing and one as a Nature Reserve. The latter includes a collection of Wildfowl. There are many different wild birds including various Owls and Woodpeckers which can be seen and/or heard!  Kingfishers have been established there for several years and are frequently to be seen on their Fishing expeditions!

Around the Perimeter is a TRAIL which is popular with Walkers and Cyclists. It includes a number of exercise stations which visitors can use to maintain some degree of Fitness while on Holiday!  Dogs are catered for and are welcome on a lead.

Subject to availability you may consider an annual “CombiPitch”  Details are available from Reception (01249 810943).  

 

For those Families and/or Couples who are able to come at quieter times there are 

some attractive Special Offers. Special Group Rates are also available.  Please note that our main Camping Prices are subject to VAT at the current rate.

 

We hope to make you welcome.

 

With best wishes for some happy Camping,

 

Yours sincerely,

 The opportunities for walking,  riding Bikes, Horses, Mountain Bikes, in Wiltshire are fantastic! The I mile trail around the site has been improved substantially in recent years and has been made safer to keep users, particularly children on Bikes, away from the Lakes and Fishermen.
