Hi

Looking for a campsite recommendation, within walking distance of a nice pub (for a meal) for 1 night in July.
We're heading to Longleat for the day and staying overnight in the area for a visit the next day to either Bath, Wells, Cheddar, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park, Newton Mill Caravan & Camping Park, Old Down Touring Park, Bath Marina & Caravan Park theres some for bath.

Seven Acres Camping Site, Lower Grange Farm, The Bell Innn (a Pub), these are in frome about 3 miles from longleat.

Longleat Caravan Club Site this is on longleat estate.

Broadway House Caravan Park, Rodney Stoke Caravan And Camping Park(think this ones a pub) could go on in cheddar,

or even brokerswood in westbury not far from longleat either.

Hi we have chosen Midbrooks for our trip to longleat, its only a small site but allows campfires, the children can help the owner feed his animals and his wife makes cream teas to order.

short walk to the pub in steeple ashton which also gets good reviews

there currently booked up at weekends but if going midweek its certainly worth having a look at

Thanks for all the replies.

Midbrooks looks great - have sent an enquiry to them.  We're in a tent and the Longleat campsite looks like it only accepts caravans and members!

Found some others to try based on suggestions - Midbrook is my current first choice - sounds exactly what we want, close to a pub (it's my birthday that day!) and allows camp fires!

Thanks

Were off to Midbrooks in 2 weeks time.

Off to Longleat for a couple of days, Stonehenge, the place with all the locks and Bath. I do hope to relax as well.

Kids weren't too impressed that there wasn't a park but changed their minds when they saw all the animals.

 

When are you going to Midbrooks? Hope to have my new (new to me) car for trip, blue Piccasso. Keep an eye out

Midbrooks was fantastic!!! I have written a review but it's not come on yet.

Took about 20-30mins to get to Longleat stopping at the Co-op for sarnies.

We had the weather, showers nearly every day only 2 day of peein it down.

Molly was stunning, lambs were funny and the rabbits were so qute.

All the kids had a whale of a time. The bikes were fantastic, Alan was a star on his scooter.

The toilets from the outside were garden sheds but just wait till you look inside.

Hope you enjoy yourselves at Midbrooks

Rovers11 I know what you mean about the non campers-my boss doesn't do less than a 4* and fshe's rom the States so is very bemused by camping in a tent. I showed her a couple of pictures and didn't seem to convince her.

There's a Hungry Horse pub about 10 mins away by car, very reasonable and play area outside.

The fridge freezer was a god send too! If you want eggs just buy them there, they were very nice!!!!
