We have been here a few times and we are never disappointed .... Fish and Chip van on a Friday evening after making use of the the cheaper Safari Park prices for Caravan Club members
Easy to get onto the park early in the morning and take advantage of the animals as they are up early and hungry for food and interact with visitors
The lake tour, the Lorikeets cage, Peguins and Sting Rays are always a success!!
The Club site is very well kept and they have a sensible cleaning schedule for the shower blocks that allows a small lie-in if wanted ..... I don't understand club sites that want to clean at 10:00am!!
The site staff are friendly and helpful .... but also quick to spot if someone requires a quiet diplomatic word ..... very good
Satelite TV signal easily acquired .... phone signal sometimes needs to be searched for (near the entrance works fine) .... TV antenna cable works great and also the WiFi performed well at all times of the day
Small Children will enjoy the small play area .... if they aren't already exhausted from the day at the park
First Time
First time visitors, the site is in a lovely location, very spacious and peaceful. The facilities were great, and the wardens very helpful and friendly.
The only down side if it is one, there is very little mobile phone signal, however you really can hear the sea lions barking and the occasional lion roar!
Excellent Site
First time visitor, but will definitely be booking future visits. The site is in a lovely location, very spacious and peaceful. The facilities were great, and the wardens helpful and friendly.

my stay at longleat
this was the second time we came to longleat club site there's so much room so on a hot week like we had your could park your van under tree`s in the shade all if you were a sun worshiper you can park away from the trees the site is lovely and clean and the toilets and showers were spotless the wardens were very cheerful and very helpful the fish &chip van comes twice a week the chips were the hottest we had and the fish was nice as well the site is ideally located for Frome and Warminster
longleat stay
We spent 10 nights at the site which is very well maintained by the wardens.Quite a lot of vehicular noise from the Safari staff as early as 7 am if you are near the approach road.
Speeding vehicles appear to be a persistent problem at the site which we did witness.Luckily the site was quite empty but when fully booked will be a problem.
All in all a good stay
Will never visit this again !
The site itself I have no problem with and justifies any award it has received. My gripe is with the change of entry to the site (by the by CC editor, advance notice on the following would have helped in the site description !). As we have done on a few previous visits we roll up to the 'entry booths' to let them know we are staying on the site and are politely told that "due to the change of management" the is a new entry road to the site, this also is the same as the exit. Here within is my problem, this road is barely wide enough for one vehicle. There are no 'by pass laybys' and the tour bus uses that same road on its route. I understand the CC has quite an investment in this prime site but surely more could have been done to A/ advise the change on the site description and B/ to push more for a solution to the very bad traffic management.

Fab location, lovely site ??. Toilets need to be checked a little more frequently please ??
3rd time with grandsons
After leaving a commercial site where there was not a hint of a smile on arrival the Caravan club wardens are always welcoming. The hidden page offers for entry and discounts to Longleat make up for the new entry restrictions which used to be open at any time.
Facilities excellent.
Ideal for children.
Entry and exit along the very narrow lane can be a bit a bit of concern but out of the control of the Club. Will always go back.
Great site
Stayed here twice now and it's the best site we've stayed at the staff are great and very helpful and friendly the shower blocks always clean will be staying here again
Picked the wrong weekend :-)
OK, what did we expect? A bank holiday weekend, it was always going to rain wasn't it?
A welcome break in the weather allowed us to put up the awning without too much trouble, luckily we got there earlier than we expected (around19:15). But others were not so lucky, it poured for the Friday night, lovely on Saturday, but then poured at odd intervals until Monday morning.
We decided not to go and visit the local attractions, choosing instead to stay and relax as much as possible. Being the last full week of school holidays, we were surrounded by families with lots of children around. At times, we thought we may have pitched in the playground :-)
The site itself is lovely, plenty of space in each pitch and I believe they are all the same size at 9 x 9m each. Facilities are not huge, but they are well appointed. The unfortunate weather meant that there was always going to be some mud trodden in through the doorways, while having so many children on site also meant that the toilets were not always left as you'd expect them to be. Recycling and waste points were spotless and there was no taint in the water.
The 5mph limit was not adhered to by many drivers, even though there was a campaign on at the time with signs everywhere: Poor form by members I'm afraid.
Staff very helpful and friendly and I would definitely return. But although completely outside of the Club's control.... I would hope for some more sun next time.
