Why stay here ...
The Cl is set in a paddock adjoining our home. Level grass pitches are available on both sides of the paddock with hook-ups (10 amps). Access is easy for all size vehicles through a wide gateway. Anti slip terran has been added to pitches and track way to help in poor weather.
The amenities consist of recycle bins, water tap, and a chemical closet point which is on the mains sewerage. There is also a metal bin for used BBQ coals. We have an adjoining grass tennis court with BBQ area and a hut with information on the immediate local area and wider district. Some Tennis racquets and balls are available for use.
TV reception is good here but you will need your own WiFi. EE is the best mobile WiFi in this area.
We are in the heart of the countryside situated next to a working farm surrounded by farmland so dogs need to be on a lead and under control. The village has a network of footpaths and lanes with grass verges which are suitable for dog walking with leads.
The parish of Kingston Seymour is situated on the North Somerset Levels between the towns of Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare. The shore of the Severn Estuary forms its western boundary. The village itself is a small active community with a population of approximately 400 residents, with an ancient Church and Village Hall around which many of its events revolve. The Bridge Inn, a Hungry Horse Restaurant is situated at the approach to Kingston Seymour and includes a large children's indoor soft play area.
Tesco, Asda, Lidl and Aldi can all be found at Clevedon (4 miles) which also has a range of independent specialist shops. There is a good selection of pubs, restaurants and food takeaways at Clevedon, which is a quaint, picturesque, Victorian seaside resort (pebbles only), with a famous grade one listed pier and the oldest working cinema in the world (The Curzon).
Nearby to Kingston is Yatton (2.5 miles). This has a Co-Op and small selection of independent shops, post office, takeaways, eating places and pubs. There is also a mainline railway station which is very useful for connections to Bristol, Bath and Weston-Super-Mare.
Buses run regularly from Clevedon and Yatton to Portishead, Bristol, Weston-super-Mare and surrounding districts. Vehicles can always be parked at unrestricted parking places in both Clevedon or Yatton to use the bus services.
Kingston Seymour village and the wider district are excellent for walking, cycling and course fishing. There are plenty of opportunities for golfing within 3 to 4 miles. The Seawall with views over to Wales is only a 20 minute walk from the CL. Nature and bird watchers will find much to satisfy themselves because the rhynes, ditches and hedgerows support abundant wildlife.
We are excellently situated for the West Country attractions of Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Cheddar, Wells and the Mendip Hills. Nearby are the National Trust properties of Tyntesfield House and Clevedon Court. Family days out include Brunel's SS Great Britain Museum ship, Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, Bristol Zoo and the open air heated Lido at Portishead.

A well loved CL
Ballards Acre CL
We stayed recently for 6 nights. When arriving the pitch was marked out with our name on it. Jane then came across to meet us and explain everything whilst we set up. She clearly cares for the site. One evening she mowed half the site (two of the pitches inc us were occupied and then spent the next two hours raking up the grass cuttings! Her cat is very friendly but beware it does like to explore your van! Access is very easy from the single track road and well marked but beware of cyclists as it is on a national cycle route. Could not fault the site but there is some plane noise from Bristol airport which why I only gave 4 stars for this. Clearly not Jane's fault!. Apart from that was very peaceful. A lovely part of the country for walking or cycling. There is a grass tennis court which was a first for us. A very useful summer house with seats for reading local information. Best CL we have stayed in and we will be back! Great value at £18 per night.

One of the best
Ballards Acre CL
We spent six nights on this lovely site in July. I spoke to Jane a few days before we arrived and she said that if she wasn’t around just set up on our pitch which would be marked with our name. Jane has it well organised for when people leave/arrive.
Directions were easy to follow from the book/internet and we didn’t find the traffic noise intrusive, in actual fact it was very peaceful. Plenty to do in the local area, we haven’t seen all yet so will go back.

Great for a stopover off M5, but stayed longer to appreciate lovely area.
Ballards Acre CL
We stayed here to break our 380 mile journey from Yorkshire to Cornwall, but spent two nights to give us a full day there. The area is fascinating, being the edge of the Somerset Levels, with drainage ditches 'rhynes' all around, and though we visited Clevedon two years ago we cycled in and really appreciated what a lovely coastal town it is. The site is very good, our pitch was marked with our name, facilities were fine, and Jane soon came over to welcome us and check all was ok. It was extremely good value at £15 without any extra for electric. The village is very near the M5, so there is inevitable road noise, but I chose it for its location near the motorway, and the sound is something you can get used to. The Strawberry Line rail trail is nearby at Yatton, and I rode the first section, but we would have gone all the way down to Cheddar had we had longer.

Lovely quiet CL
Ballards Acre CL
Stayed for 4 nights, could have spent much longer and still not run out of things to do.
Easy cycling to Clevedon and very short drive to the Strawberry line at Yatton. 20 min walk to the coast on the edge of the Somerset Levels. Site is lovely with good spacing between units, that the site was nearly fully booked all through our stay, backs up the great reviews.
Great site
Ballards Acre CL
We booked for 5 nights in early August. The site is a little gem very well looked after and plenty of space. the access is nice and wide. just watch for cyclists when coming out. Jane is very friendly. we went home for a week and then back for another 5 nights. That speaks for itself. Nice central location for visiting many places of interest.
