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.
