Our second visit this year for the balloon festival this time, love this site one of our favourites. The site as usual very clean and tidy, wardens very pleasant and helpful. Longleat annual passes great value if you are making multi visits. Looking forward to our next visit at half term for Halloween and fireworks which can be seen from the site entrance.
Excellent place to stay and visit the local attractions.
The hard standing pitches are well spaced out in an attractive site with lots of mature trees that can cause noise from dripping when wet. Facilities are up to date and clean. However my wife and I did note that an equal number of toilet, shower and wash cubicles were locked and unavailable in both the Male and Female sections of the block nearest to us. This resulted in us occasionally having to join queues to use the showers and toilets?
No lions but lots of runners!
Enjoyed our 3 night stay despite some soggy weather. Two good walks on estate paths: Heaven's Gate (well signposted, excellent views) and the Pleasure Walk. This is not well indicated but park at the Bath Arms at Horsingham and walk towards the estate, going through barrier. As you come to the fine lodge entrance there is a door to your left with a map pinned on it. This door leads you to the pleasure walk which runs for about a mile parallel to the grand drive to Longleat House. Magnificent old trees and interesting sculptures. Site itself is attractive with excellent facilities. Added bonus on the Saturday evening was the Glow in the Park sponsored 5k run with streams of jogging head torches - quite a sight.

1st Class.
After rejoining the Caravan Club recently, we spent 3 nights at this lovely site. I have to say, you would be hard pressed to find better.
I would like to take this opportunity, to applaud all those involved, in making our stay a very pleasant one.
GREAT PLACE

stayed for 3 nights aug bank holiday to visit longleat safari. You couldn't get a more convenient site, literally 2 mins walk gate to gate. It is a large site with everything. play park, 2 toilet /shower blocks (immaculate) table tennis ,outdoor chess, laundry and much more. The reception was what you would expect of the c.c and I was booked in and pitched in no time. The wardens were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the safari park, no doubt saving me a fortune on repairs. (use safari bus not car). no phone reception, but the club Wi-Fi was good. excellent time
Great for families.
We recently stayed at this site and although large it is very well laid out and children friendly. A lot of grandparents looking after the grandchildren as we were also. We had a couple of days at the Longleat centre and although expensive it went down well with all of us. I would like to make one comment though, why do caravaner`s ignore the 1pm entry time? I saw at least three caravans arrive before 12 o`clock and when we left at 11:30 we met one coming in on the approach road, what is the matter with them? are they being selfish and hoping to get the best choice of pitch? or cannot wait for lunch (if the later, take sandwiches). The rules are there to stop two vans meeting on a single track road, if we had been 3 minutes earlier we would have met them head on in the single track section, if that happened they better have been prepared to reverse as I would certainly not, I rather drop the steadies and let them try and reverse uphill with little or no passing places for two caravans. And come on sites don't let early arriving people enter till 1pm.
Okay Victor Meldrew moment almost gone but will just add one more comment. A family arrived and setup as normal and their children (plus others I think) set up an impromptu cricket match on the road. Now it is good to see the children playing but why did the parents not tell them to play cricket in the playing field. The result was the boy with the bat was playing like Ian Botham, spraying balls all over the place at some speed (only being enthusiastic). The only level of control the father had was to suggest that if they hit a car or a caravan they were out! Unbelievable, is this showing respect to others around. In fact it took a request from a father with a very young toddler to ask them to either move back or go to the field as their child was in direct firing line. I would stress this is not the fault of the children, when a ball came passed our caravan the young lad apologised, they were only doing what children do but they should have been directed to a safer place in which to have a match.
Having said all of that we certainly hope to return some day.
That`s it Victor has now left the building.
