Amazingly quiet and peaceful scenic site just outside of Salisbury.

We spent a night at Bluebell Woods CL on our way down to Devon with our cats. £12 a night off-grid, toilets, water, waste and bins. Owner was super fast responding to the booking and gave us everything we needed to find and access the site. Amazingly quiet and peaceful scenic, just outside of Salisbury. Great value for money, exactly what we needed. https://youtu.be/XoRdo6YfgJs

A little piece of heaven

Communication re booking 100% This is such a beautiful place, it met all our expectations and more. We/I felt really secure, my only advice would be to other campers is to make sure you put the padlock on the gate over the post that doesn't allow it to be slipped off. Beautiful walks on site surrounded by fox gloves listening to birds, my idea of heaven. We just loved the laid back approach from the owner...just pitch up and enjoy. Plenty of pitches to choose from in natural surroundings. No 'do or don't' signs. Thank you for sharing it with us. We will definitely return.

Wonderful weekend

Very nice site with large pitches, well spaced out. Each pitch has it’s own table and benches, a really good touch. If you want a personal welcome to the site you will be disappointed as the owners live off site and booking and payment is done via email and bank transfer (not a problem for us). All the facilities are easily located so no need for a site tour. The wood and dog walks are excellent as is access to the public rights of way next to the site. There is noise from the railway and shooting range but certainly not enough to detract from the beauty of the site and will not stop us from returning. There is wildlife around which call out during the night and at dawn, but for us that adds the the experience of staying in the country. The site is secure with a padlocked gate entrance, however, we couldn’t get out when it was time to leave! The padlock had broken and neither we, nor the two other vans behind us could get it open. We rang the site owner who was very quickly out to resolve the situation so no major drama. Good to know that if there is a problem they are straight out to sort it. If you are happy with a non EHU site this is one to visit. We will be back.

Bluebell wood is a great peaceful Cl

Brilliant week here very quiet and peaceful with plenty of space and choice of pitches, set in woodlands. We loved that each pitch is hard standing, and has a bench table on it. There is a barn here which has 3 areas in it, one is set out as a seating socialising area, the middle one has a toilet and sink, and 3rd used as a storage. Very nice owner came to cut the walk grass. The walks are lovely and you can walk through to the national Trust park next door. Lots of blackberries so several other campers and myself made crumbles with them. We will definitely be back.

Shame

This should be a fantastic site. It’s hard standing in the middle of woodland, with great walks directly out from it and its own woodland too. The issue of the noise from the wild trekkers campsite has been sorted as the road through has been blocked now meaning the CL site is a dead end now. There is plenty of space and lots of wildlife. BUT and it’s a big but, there is a shooting range (presumably on the same site) that starts at 10am each day. This meant it was impossible to stay on the site during the day owing to the incessant noise from constant shooting. We also had a dog with us that was scared witless and shaking. I think the owner should also let people know in advance to expect this too.

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for your review. We just want to reassure you that the noise is not from a shooting range and it is not onsite. It actually comes from a neighbour who very occasionally does clay pigeon shooting for a short period of time. We are sorry that this disturbed you during your stay.

Nice site shame about the woodland campers

Have had several lovely weekends at this site but on the last occassion there was a constant to and froing of vehicles passing the pitches to access an area of the woodland which has now been sold off and being used by people wild camping/living in the woods. It made us wary of leaving our van for security reasons as we were the only ones on the CL, as we also noted they left the main gate open on occasions . We also observed them using the CL site facilities, which is not ideal.

Camping in the forest

Loved our stay here had such a peaceful relaxed weekend. Hard standing pitches where you can park where you like surround by your own forest (we did see deer in the forest) Very secure site as it is locked once you go in with a padlock. The only facilities on site is a toilet in the large barn which also has a large wooden table & chairs in another room perfect if the weather turns nasty, lovely idea. It is such a peaceful site but as others have mentioned there is slight road noise but this did not affect us at all. Beautiful walks through the forest to the NT grounds and then on to the local pub in the village which is well worth a visit. It was amazing to open up the doors in the morning and be so close to nature. Will definitely be returning to this site.

Ruined by selfish caravaner with noisy generator!

The title says it all. If you're a caravaner and can't survive without electric hookup why come to this site and feel the need to run a very noisy generator ruining the potential peace and quiet of this site. Very selfish behaviour. If you need a generator then buy decent one that is a lot quieter or don't run one at all.

A Secret Gem

It was tempting not review this as I wanted to keep it a secret! However, once through the gate you are in a different world. So lovely & peaceful despite road noise during the day. It is a simple but clever idea to have an indoor sitting area in the barn for inclement weather & those chilly evening get togethers. Individual large hard standings give a feeling of privacy. I will definitely be back in other seasons. The Caravan & Motorhome Club sign could do with moving closer to the road, as both myself & my sister missed the turning first time. It would also help if it said Bluebell Wood.

What a place 😊

We recently stayed at this lovely site. To wake up in the morning and open the caravan door and be greeted by a deer was lovely . The room and pitch sizes were big. Another added bonus was the barn, where if there was a group of you, you all could get together comfortably, where there is tables and chairs provided which was another tick in the box for this site for me . There is also a toilet in the other section of the barn. Nice to be camped in the centre of a wood . We had some nice walks and would definitely come back again. Thank you very much Bluebell Wood.
