This is an outstanding Caravan Site. The Facilities are in superb condition and plentiful. The pitches are generous and well-spaced, with an abundance of power points. The three large toilet blocks are in pristine condition with an endless supply of hot water. If you have young children or toddlers you can sign out a toddler bathroom key that allows you to utilise that facility. It is a large lockable bathroom with a half bath with integrated shallow platform, a mini toilet and sink, and a changing table. All of the aforementioned facilities are wonderfully warm and clean. The children’s play park is in great working order and the entire site enforces a 5 mph limit so young children on bicycles are always safe. The crowning quality of this site is the fact that it is 200m from the Longleat house attractions. Most of the activities were free e. G. The train ride, mini zoo, bat cave and mirror maze and there is now an Italian Pizzeria on the site, along with other food outlets. At 1700 when the attractions close down, you are free to walk around the grounds of Longleat house which makes for a great distraction for the kids. If you are taking your motorhome through the Safari, you are braver than me if you go into the Monkey enclosure, but be aware you will be advised to take the bikes off the back of the motorhome before going into the big cat enclosures as the lions have been known to attack them destroying bikes and racks! Don’t forget your Caravan Club discount for the tickets. I showed the assistant on the gate the coupon on the laptop and she discounted all tickets without question. I saved £25. This site is a must for young families.

This is one of the best C. C. Sites we have visited, very well laid out with woodland trees on the Longleat estate. Longleat House, its grounds and adventure park are only a few minutes walk along the road, and the safari park is right next door to them. We spent two full days seeing the attractions at Longleat. It's best to take the tour bus around the safari park. Do not take your car through the monkey enclosure. We saw parts of cars being broken off.
As other reviewers have mentioned, you can hear the sea lions and other animals from the caravan site. The location is good for a trip to Bath that is a very popular city for tourists. We liked the Roman baths, the abbey nearby, and No. 1 Royal Crescent is worth a visit, but will be even better when they have completed renovation of further rooms that will be added from the adjoining No. 1A. We had lunch at Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Bath called Jamie's Italian - excellent food.
Stourhead, a National Trust property only about 10 miles away is definitely worth a day out. It has a magnificent house and delightful grounds. We also enjoyed Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral. A fish and chip van 'Mr. Chips' calls every Tuesday and Friday, and the quality is excellent. We had fresh tasting fish with crispy batter, and good chips that are not too greasy. The toilet blocks are very good.
The electric hook ups also have TV connections and you can buy a cable from reception which also stocks food essentials. The wardens are friendly and helpful, and we will certainly be going to the Longleat site again.

What a fantastic site this is. 100 yards from the entrance and you are in Longleat Safari Park. Lovely house and gardens to stroll around. Listen to the sea lions from the campsite. Well laid out pitches and spotless. Up to the standards you would expect from Caravan Club. Just a bit disappointed that the earliest arrival time was 13. 00 hrs. The lane was a bit narrow and about a mile and a half so I guess this was the reason. Mobile phone signal not great there either.

This is a lovely site that I would highly recommend
The pitches are well spaced, hardstanding throughout. All pitches even have TV aerial connection so worth taking a cable if you have one to guarantee good reception.
The facilities are very very well maintained, water is convenient and there are well designed emptying points.
The staff were very nice, professional and courteous and a credit to themselves.
We have small children and they loved the play area, there are sensible rules regarding scooter usage after dusk to prevent nuisance to other residents. Due to its proximity to the Safari park there is probably a higher percentage of families on the site - but it is not a massive site and therefore does not feel over-run.
The main attraction is the Safari park, however there are other things to see locally too (National Trust at Stouron is really worth a look) and would use this site even if I was not going!
In short - one not to be missed - will definitely go back.

Longleat site has undergone some changes for this year, you now approach the site NOT through Longleat grounds, but via the old exit only lane. It is a bit tight, but we had no issues with our big twin axle, and have heard no other problems.
You will need you CC pass to get onto Longleat grounds, and no dogs are allowed. This is due to a massive increase in their insurance costs, inputting these changes has saved them over 100k a year, so you have to understand why! However, they have invested a lot in the Safari and the new Gorilla colony, so it's not all bad!
Longleat season pass is ideal if you plan to use this all the time you are here, the adventure playground in Longleat will keep the kids happy for days, just take towels and change of clothes on sunny days as they WILL get wet!
The rest of Longleat has all the attractions you could want.
The site is here for Longleat, however if you wish to venture out you'll need the car.
Nearest shops are Frome, where there are numerous shops, Asda, Iceland and Lidl's to name a few. There is a market on sundays in peak season's, and the shops here will cater for almost all your needs.
Asda also has a fuel station and is amongst the cheapest you'll find, it is card only payment as unmanned.
Fleet air arm museum is about 40 mins away as is Haynes Motor Museum, both are well worth a visit and will see out a day easily.
This part of the country has loads to offer, you just need to look a little harder to find it.
The site copes very well with heavy rain, very few pitches ever flood, and any surface water drained away quickly.
Site is normal CC layout, various pitches all with different positions and sizes, almost all are hard-standing. Some are closer to toilets than others, those nearly the play parks will be busier and noisier than others. If you want a quiet life in school hols then stick to the edges, however we have kids so did not see this as a problem.
There is no where for them to go, if they do wander outside the main gate, then they be stopped by either security guard on peak times, or find themselves in a quiet lane! The site is big so unlikely to happen, even our 3 year old didn't wander outside and we were close to the entrance.
Overall the site is a high standard and well kept as per most CC sites, the small shop on site does the basics, but don't expect it to keep you going.
If you are looking to come here for hols, then collect Tesco vouchers for Longleat, it'll save you fortunes!

This has to be one of the best sites we have visited, from the wardens right down to the heated floor in the shower blocks.
The whole thing was immaculate, well laid out, and as we had our 4 & 6 year old grandchildren with us, the play area was superb. All the drivers obeyed the speed limit signs so kids could ride their bikes in perfect safety. The Safari Park is right next door so a few minutes walk and we were in it. Will definitely go back again.
