Isolated site on edge of Longleat Estate iron curtain

We stayed in July - 4 nights. Site about a quarter full. Friendly wardens. Clean facilities. Strangely there are about 6 pitches taped off and looking quite desolate, with partly installed electrics?Although we were aware that unless cycling on a specific cycle route you can’t venture onto the Longleat estate. It’s way more restricted than we had imagined. We chose not to go to Longleat £39.95 head and went to NT Stourhead! Long walks to the bus stops and pubs too. I get a feeling that this site is running down to closing. I’m guessing it will become part of Longleat!

Lovely site but just too remote

We have no complaints whatsoever about the cleanliness of the facilities, friendliness of staff or site layout all of which were fine. Our only negative was the remoteness. OK we booked it in advance and we read all the reviews prior to doing so so it was our own fault. However a word of advice to those of you in larger MH units..If you decide to go here make sure you have all your supplies for the entirety of your stay because it’s a bit of a Safari (get it?) getting in and out.

Amazing stay

Ive stayed at this site numerous times. The site has large pitches that are well spaced out. The toilet, shower etc blocks are spotless and the showers lovely and warm. We had a great couple of days in Longleat and the only noise on the campsite was the sound of the sea lions and occasionallythe lions. Thank you Longleat, we will be back soon

Lovely site

Longleat site is one of the nicest sites we have stayed on. It is clean, quiet and friendly. The barking of the sea lions at longleat is lovely to hear and they made us laugh. They are not so loud as to keep you awake. The staff are all very nice, welcoming and helpful. There are loads of places to visit around the area. Although some are a fairly long drive away, all are worth the visit. Most of the places we went to were National Trust or English Heritage properties and gardens. As members of both, visits were free. National Trust, Avebury Stone Circle and Avebury itself. You can walk around the stones and see Silbury Hill from the stone circle. We also visited Bradford on Avon. A really pretty town with some excellent coffee shops and restaurants. Frome is not far, where there are supermarkets. Sainsbury's at one end and Asda the other. Places to visit are very much a personal choice and it all depends on your interests. We found loads to do and will certainly be back. We stayed 15 nights and there were still places left to see for next time. The White Hart pub at the top of the site access road has a roast and all the trimmings on a Wednesday and Thursday for only £8.00. Great value and plenty of food. All in all an excellent two week holiday.

Is Longleat club site closing?

The site is amazing but apart from paying the very expensive entrance fee to get into the Park there is nothing to do in the immediate vicinity. How long will this site stay open as we have heard that Lord Bath has plans drawn up for a Hotel and Conference Centre on the land? The new peg trial appears to be a backward step which will add to the confusion some members have of how to pitch up appropriately.

Clean & tidy site - you CANNOT walk through Longleat Park

Large clean site with the best information room I've come across and excellent shower blocks - BUT - There is no nearby pub or shop - it's miles to a pub without transiting Longleat - and uphill There is an entrance to the park right by the site - but you cannot walk nor cycle through it unless buying a day ticket- £40 each Traffic starts through that entrance (work vehicles) at 7am (it's just behind the childrens' playground) The park VIP entrance (which you can use) is 10 minutes walk up the road - and you can cycle through the park (beautiful) right by Longleat House to a lovely pub, The Bath Arms, with good food - but YOU CANNOT WALK THROUGH without paying for a day ticket. We did actually gain special permission from security to walk to the Bath Arms as it was my wife's birthday and it took 55 minutes each way from the site. On a bicycle there is no challenge. We were stopped by security in a roving car on the way back but as we'd pre-arranged our passage we were left to carry on. You cannot exit the park on a bicycle using the entrance/exit right by the campsite entrance you have to go the long way round. We were kept awake by the constant barking of sea lions, they are noisy! All in all an excellent site if you are visiting Longleat - though I wouldn't drive a motorhome through the monkey enclosure - so mainly for caravans I would think.

Wow, just fantastic!

On arrival we were met by very friendly wardens who were extremely helpful. The site is large but the pitches are too and well spaced out, everywhere was so clean and well tended. The toilet, shower etc blocks were spotless and the showers lovely and warm. We went for the purpose of meeting up with family on site and spending time in Longleat which can be accessed just outside the campsite reception. However, the staff on the site made us feel so welcome with nothing too much trouble that we didn't want to leave. All in all we had a perfect weekend away, great day in Longleat and the only noise on the campsite was the sound of the sea lions which was a treat. We will go back if only for that. Thank you Longleat Campsite Team you were all brilliant!!!

Great site

What a wonderful campsite. The staff were friendly and helpful, the pitches are a great size, there is a small park for the children and great for walking the dog. It was the perfect start to our holiday. We went for the Balloon festival and wasn't disappointed, Sunday morning was waken by a whoosh went to look and the sky was filled with hot air balloons flying just over the treetops, the festival its self was amazing. Then Monday when we thought it was over again woken to the sound of the balloons flying overhead. Totally amazing will definitely go back again even if its just to hear the seals who were very vocal but sounded awesome.

Nice site, miles from anywhere (except the safari park)

This is a beautiful and spacious site, very well maintained and with great facilities. The only problem is that there’s nothing nearby, not even a pub. The nearest bus stop is nearly two miles away. There’s a nice walk to Cley Hill (about six miles round trip, with no pubs passed on the way), but that’s about it, if (like us) you don’t plan to visit the safari park. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you just want to chill on site, or have some form of transport with you.

Theft, Damage and Rudest Staff in the CAMC!

Joined the CAMC to stay specifically here as my wife and daughter are animal mad! So was very excited for our first trip to the club. Stayed over bank holiday weekend for what should have been a fantastic trip with my family. Won't be staying again. Staff (except Pat!) awfully rude, unhelpful and unresponsive. Mass theft and damage to many, many campers. Could have been avoided if they'd kept on top of the membership rules, as was many many incidents prior to this. Looking forward to a formal response.
