Great for visiting Longleat but be prepared for an early start.

Upon arrival we had a friendly greeting and found our way to our choice of pitch quickly. When I went back to inform them of our pitch I was firmly asked to put my mask on as I'd barely stepped in the doorway, my daughter ran out as she thought she was being told off. It was fair enough to tell me to wear a mask but maybe in a less panicked manner, I was after all about 8 metres away and separated by a perspex barrier. It was just a 2 night stay as we were visiting Longleat with the children and the location of this site was perfect. We were advised upon arrival to drive to do our safari and then park the car back here which we did as the park is so close, this made our visit to the park stress free. The facilities were generally good and the were toilets warm and clean. The phone reception was terrible which I didn't really mind however be aware of this if you do need to keep in touch with anyone. No shop either so come prepared. There were lots of children on site with it being half term which was great for our children however there was a larger group of older children about during our stay that gave my son a bit of verbal which took the shine off it for him. Not the club's fault I know but he / we haven't ever experienced this at any site and he spent the evening in rather than playing out after this. My main issue here was the noise in the morning from the service road. Unfortunately we pitched right behind it and from 6.30 each morning for about 1.5 hours there were lorries / tractors etc thundering down it. It was constant and I would imagine this would be every morning of every day. Very frustrating as we came away for a bit of R and R. In between the vehicles however we could here the animals which was lovely . Road noise and sweary teenagers aside this is a nice site and perfect if you are visiting Longleat.

Brilliant and Helpful staff

we were made aware of a Diesel leak on our camper van on arrival by Phil who together with Ruth were extremely helpful in trying to get the problem sorted out. We had to stay for a day longer than planned. We would like to thank all staff - especially Phil & Ruth - for being so helpful during our stay. The facilities are very clean and the site very well maintained and we will definitely coming back here.

Great site and lovely staff

We stayed here for a glorious week in September. The site is spotlessly clean and staff are very friendly. As others have said, being able to hear the Longleat animals, especially the lions, is just wonderful. It's quiet except for the sealions during the day and sometimes at night - but what's not to like? I can't comment on what it would be like in school holidays but it is family friendly and I would imagine that it's full of little people having a blast. There are lots of things to do around - use your National Trust membership and app if you have them. Bath is quite close and we had a great time at the Roman Baths this year. Thanks to all the staff who keep this place so well.

Great site for Longleat visit

After reading previous review we were a little cautious. We stayed Monday to Friday in a motorhome. The site had such a nice chilled feel to it. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We visited Longleat on the Tuesday, and used their Safari bus tour, which was a lovely day out. Our pitch backed onto the park, so we used to love hearing the seals at feeding time. The shower blocks, although a tad dated, were always clean with plenty of hot water. The information room was the best that I have seen on other sites. We used the games room for a table tennis/pool challenge. Yes it is tired, but it was serviceable and we had fun. The wi-fi/phone signal is a challenge, but as long as you are prepared for this beforehand, i.e. bring dvds instead of using Amazon stick etc, go for a walk to check emails, or ring out on the payphone provided in the information room. We made sure that we had taken enough provisions to cover us for the 4 days there. We thoroughly enjoyed having quiet time and relaxing.

Fab site right next to Longleatv

Had a lovely stay here - beautiful clean site and an ideal base for Longleat - it is so close you can head the lions and Brian the sea lion getting excited when being fed from the boat . I would agree with other reviews that there is nothing else nearby unless you go to Longjeat - there’s a pub right at the start of the entrance road but would be a good 20min walk. Will def return as you can never get bored with Longjeat and CAMHC sites are so well equipped

Nice, clean campsite

This campsite is fantastic for visiting Longleat, could not be more convenient. The site is very organised, and the facilities are very clean if a little dated. But the site is so plain, no pretty areas of landscaping, or attempt to make the site more attractive. So many sites now encourage wildlife, but the sites are all to exactly the same design. Whilst this may suit a lot of people it is not as appealing to my family. There is such an emphasis on rules that it makes arrival at the sites a bit off putting.

Wonderful

Mark, Gail and their team of wardens are friendly and very helpful. We love coming here. Grounds are lovely. It’s a quiet site at the moment except for the sea lions barking and the lions roaring which we love. Got to be one of the nicest sites you can come to and brilliant for visiting the safari park.

Great for Longleat Safari Park but that’s it…

Really disappointed with this site. The staff really need some customer service training or a personality transplant. Felt like we weren’t welcome at the point of arriving at site. I thought the site was a business providing holidays not a prison camp. The facilities were generally good. Toilets and showers as expected for a Caravan Club Site. That’s where it ends. Games room was dirty and in need of a lot of tlc. Pool table ripped and cues broken. Getting a ball for the table tennis was missing impossible. Getting tokens for the washing machine was met with a disappointing unhelpful manor. I felt like I was really putting the reception staff out. Don’t try and buy anything in the shop as apparently things are not for sale. Reception opening times are not the times it is open. Have to go back when it’s open and it’s closed. Notices around the site were aggressive. Felt like I was getting a reprimanding whilst using the loo. Notices explaining how much the club spent last year unblocking toilets was a little over the top. Get it but a bit of politeness goes a long way. I would imagine the site would want to cater for family’s due to the location but it felt like family’s were really not welcome. May be the site was built on an old grave site….certainly felt dark. Best part other than the location was leaving….

Hidden gem

First time at Longleat sitr and 5 stars all round, great ambience on site, large flat pitches. Facilities clean and tidy as are the grounds, Wardens really friendly and helpful and their hard work is evident in the high standard of cleaniness throughout the site. Longleat is basically out of site to your left and your there. Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay will definitely be back. Poor phone and WiFi signal but it was nice to have some peace. Good tv signal on our pitch noticed you could hook up aerial to bollard. Site is secluded and peaceful and to us as it was our first time on site a hidden gem

We had great time, despite the negative reviews

Reading some of the below reviews we wondered what we were in for when we arrived at Longleat. On arrival there was a sign stating one person at a time in reception and masks to be worn on entering reception, personally I didn't have an issue with this, there is still a pandemic out there and we all have to stay safe, I found the warden to be very pleasant and helpful, as they all were at al times, even when I had an small issue. Please be aware because of the location there will be children around, so they will be out on their bikes cycling round the site and making new friends, if this is not your thing then I suggest you book mid week outside of the school holidays. It is in the middle of no where so there is extremely little or no phone signal, so you will have to walk off site to try and find one, my Grandson paid for the Wi-Fi, again due to the location this is very hit or miss, your choice if you want to take a chance, there is a map in reception that tells you were the best Wi-Fi coverage is supposed to be on site, but still hit or miss. It will be noisy, but with the sealions barking every time the Longleat Jungle Cruise boat passes, the campsite backs on to the lake, if your lucky you may hear the Lions roaring, one was having a real go one night we were there, and the Wolves howling. On the whole we had a great time, the Wardens were pleasant and helpful and the facilities were kept clean, in fact the only problem we encountered was due to someone leaving late as we met them on the way in down one of the narrow lanes, that is why they ask everybody to leave by 12, we were lucky as we met at a place where one of us could pull in to pass, but be warned for most of it one of you will have to reverse.
