Longleat Club Campsite in Warminster is one of the network's most unique locations - where else in the UK or Europe can you hear lions roaring at night from the comfort of your bed? Set in beautiful parkland, the campsite is located in the midst of the lovely Longleat Estate. The area's famous Safari Park, first to be opened outside Africa, is literally on the doorstep of the Longleat Club Campsite. It's just a 5 minute walk directly from the site to Longleat House and Longleat Safari Park if you prefer not to take your vehicle, and you can buy tickets at Longleat's back gate or buy in advance online at Longleat.
There are several pubs within a 2 mile radius (a lovely walk on a summers evening) and a short drive will bring you to the lively towns of Bath and Bristol. The Roman, Regency and 20th century Bath being a special favourite for visitors touring in Wiltshire. Still famous as a spa, you can take to the waters and literally soak yourself in history. With winding streets and pretty listed buildings, Frome is about 15 minutes from the site. Several fascinating nearby sites of historic interest include Stonehenge, Avebury Neolithic monument and Lacock Abbey.
Please note that Longleat are not able to accept dogs within the grounds or attractions. There are other beautiful walks also available from the Club side of the road that members can enjoy freely and at their own leisure.

Leafy & relaxing.
Longleat Club Campsite
Very helpful and friendly staff. Very pleasant location. The Royal Oak pub does a free dessert with a main meal for CAMC members. We shall return.
Great site with fantastic team
Longleat Club Campsite
Another lovely club site. One of the warmest welcomes I've ever had from Sandra in reception, and plenty of advice on local eateries and activities.
My pitch was enormous and they are very well spaced out. Even though the site was nearly empty even if it was busy this would make a real difference. I was just there for one night so hunkered down in my campervan with my dogs.
I had no phone reception but the wifi was pretty good so that didn't matter. Facilities are a little dated but they were spotless and nice and warm and the showers were a decent size. Washing up sinks had really hot water, which is a nice change. The dog walking area is a wood which was a bit muddy underfoot but to be expected after all the rain. The seals at the zoo lived up to their reputation for night time noise but it was fairly muted and actually quite nice to listen to.
All up, a nice site with a great team in a unique location.
Money grabbing
Longleat Club Campsite
Found it incredibly...5 days prior to arrival we had need to change our arrival date by one day and delay leaving by one day .so there was no loss to the greedy caravan club
To my total amazement I was actually charged £2.50 for that privilege...told on the phone that the £2.50 charge would not be added on arrival at the Longleat site we were charged the extra £2.50 ....So much for the friendly club .. dunno if it's under new management but it's now No longer anything like a friendly club .....whilst understanding the need to stop late cancellations this was not a cancellation but just a change by one day either end ...should have been no problem..until the club management get involved ...with a charge of £2.50 just to move one day either end of stay .....it leaves me speechless ..
So cold...
Longleat Club Campsite
It's September, there's a cold snap, oh how cold the facilities are! The warmth of the wardens can't do anything to ameliorate the temperature in the toilet blocks. As ever on club sites the hottest the showers will go is some kind of H&S setting. It's character building.
Walks off the site are a bit limited. The woods close by with the hill fort (invisible) are beautiful. That's as far as I got but there are more distant options, or the peculiar national cycle route where you must not get off and walk.
I didn't go for the wildlife park (it's not cheap - something like £45 - so a stroll from the site is out of the question) but for the very excellent Hauser & Wirth contemporary art gallery in Bruton, some 15 mles off, which is also an interesting village to walk around.
My only other complaint is that I didn't hear any lions! Seals aplenty but that doesn't have quite the same cachet.
And anyone thinking of doing a late checkout with a caravan as folk are arriving should note that the road to the site is downhill and very narrow in places, with blind bends. So don't!
Almost forgot - very poor wifi and poor tv.

Excellent holiday
Longleat Club Campsite
Stayed for 5 nights in a serviced pitch and visited the safari park for the first time. Amazing to hear the sealions from our pitch. We had a very peaceful stay. The facilities are always very clean and the staff were friendly. The only downside was we booked a 1pm check in and we come across a caravan leaving late at 1.18pm which it was small lanes where you couldn’t just pull in you had to reverse back onto the main road. This was the only negative.
But we would return again. The park was fantastic for the little one.
