Reviewer: Kernow Camper 265 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 3 nights during the 30c+ temperatures.

Really friendly welcome on arrival.

Asked for a shady pitch under a tree and that's exactly what Andy gave us! Although we later discovered it was only shady in the mornings!

Facilities always clean but definitely need updating. The temperature of the showers was far too high for heatwave conditions.

We had visitors during one day of our stay and nothing was too much trouble. They were allowed to park in the visitors car par for the day and sit outside our unit.

Walking is wonderful from this site. K&A canal right next door. Easy 20-30 minute stroll to great canal-side pub The Barge Inn and another good pub right next door to the site (Three Magpies).

We caught the bus into Devizes (a lovely little town) with our friends and walked back via Caen Hill Locks, but boy was it hot! Next day we caught the bus into Bath (1 hr journey each way).

Have already recommended and will continue to do so and we will definitely be back.

 Lovely well kept site, pub, right next door and if you’re a walker, a walk along the canal, about a mile and there is is a pub right on the canal, both serve excellent food.

Shower block as you would expect from a c&c club site was spotless.

Reviewer: Pixie_Hez 146 reviews from this member

 We stayed at the Devizes Camping and Caravanning Club site for 6 nights and, while the location is very good, we were quite disappointed overall.

The wardens deserve credit as they were doing a sterling job under very difficult circumstances. They kept the facilities as clean as possible, but the toilet block itself is very old, dingy and has a strong smell of drains.

There was also quite a lot of black mould, which made using it an unpleasant experience. Sadly, no amount of effort from the wardens can disguise how badly the facilities are in need of a full refurbishment.

The pitches themselves are quite narrow compared to other sites we’ve stayed on, which also reduced the sense of comfort and space.

On the positive side, the location is excellent. The Bath to Devizes bus passes the end of the road once an hour, making it really easy to explore without needing to drive. Devizes itself is a quirky and interesting town with plenty to see and do, and the canal is lovely, offering numerous walks straight from the site and the Caen Hill Locks are a must see.

Unfortunately though, the poor standard of the facilities means this is not a site we would return to. It has great potential, but until the toilet block is modernised, it falls far short of what we would expect.

Reviewer: CyberCynth 14 reviews from this member

 I have visited this site before - absolutely ideal for a stop-over if travelling from west to east - it has never disappointed!

Site kept immaculately clean, lots of trees on site which offer a bit of shade from the sun. The site staff were very helpful, polite and friendly.

A good site for dog owners, with lots of walks nearby, including a large field at the back of the site and a smaller, fenced-off area adjacent to it. It's a shame about the 'dogs on leads' rule on both fields as there was nowhere safe my dog could enjoy a bit of freedom: the neighbouring field (which the staff said I could let the dog off-lead) actually bordered the main road to Melksham, so not really very safe!

Apart from that grumble, very happy otherwise; lots of places to visit, and a bus stop about 100yds from the site, also the Three Magpies pub, always a good place to refresh the inner person! I will be back!

 Very friendly staff and very helpful.

Sanitairy was very well maintained.

I cannot think of any complaint.

We were very lucky with the weather.

(coming from Holland in this time of the year)

The pub was very handy (around the corner!)

Several days in the week the site was visited by

Different kind of food trucks (fish & chips; pizza).

Reviewer: Devonatheart 2 reviews from this member

 Simply cannot fault the Devizes C&CC site, from the moment we arrived it became obvious that this is a very well run site.

Right next to the canal, good pub nearby, but check out their opening hours and food service time, and BOOK! The Barge Inn is about 40 mins walk away, good but a little pricey.

The site was very busy, but very quiet, and considering the number of dogs, it was very quiet barking wise.

Visit Caen Hill Locks is a must, and book a day hire Narrow Boat, the lock at great fun.

We will return!

Reviewer: Bessecar460 4 reviews from this member

 Great site wardens very helpful, amenities warm and very clean, good site for Bath Bristol and surrounding area.

Devizes a short drive away and well worth a visit.

Good walks on canal path which site backs onto.

Three Magpies pub a five minute walk away really good food but would advise to book.

Reviewer: Griffp 13 reviews from this member

 Nice welcome on arrival, shown to the pitch and we were ready to set up.

Flat pitches were welcome. It was relatively busy but quiet.

Canal walks next to the site. 30 minute walk to The Barge Inn in one direction, about a 90 minute walk to Devizes in the other direction.

The site was well cared for and the facilities were very clean. However, facilities may benefit from a bit of an update.

Will stay here again.

 Great site. Friendly staff. Good facilities. Would visit again.

Although the Devises to Melksham road runs past it is hardly a major highway. My impression was of a quiet site. Lots of wildlife, birds, rabbits and squirrels. The squirrels were particularly entertaining. Two minutes down the road the canal provides a ready made walking site.

The showers have two features I really like, a shower curtain to keep the outer area dry and enough hooks for ALL your 'bits and pieces'.

For me the Caen Hill Lock Flight is a must see. Devises and Melksham have supermarkets, Devises has more local shops. The Courts Gardens are worth visit. Bath is a must for shops and history. The Three Magpies is friendly and does good food.

Reviewer: Kernow Camper 265 reviews from this member

 We had not stayed here for 5 years but knew we wanted to go back.

Lovely, friendly wardens. Great communication even before we got to site. We asked if we could have a pitch close to our friends and they allocated us next to each other.

Clean facilities but probably not enough for the number of pitches. Saying that we never had to queue.

Bins are only located close to the entrance/exit which was a bit of a pain.

Our pitches were close to the canal path, so could be a bit noisy at times (not the fault of the site). Our friends pitch next door to us, had a tree over hanging that literally touched the top of their motorhome. They didn't complain as they were only with us for 2 nights but it certainly needed/needs addressing.

Great pub almost next to the site - highly recommended, and another along the canal where you can sit with your pint and watch the barges glide by.

Easy walk/cycle ride to Caen Hill Locks (the highlight of the area) and further on into Devizes town.

The only real issue we had with this site was the amount of dogs that seemed to constantly bark - again not the fault of the site, just ignorant owners.

However, we will definitely visit again.

Reviewer: Booketta 74 reviews from this member

 This is a large site, nicely laid out like many French sites with hedges and separation. Privacy without being unfriendly.

Good facilities with a shower wand but still the silly buttons which need constant pressing for a decent shower.

Staff friendly. We were located near the facilities and you could hear the hand dryer in the night. We were also near the exit but this wasn't a problem.

There were one or two dogs that weren't supervised and were allowed to chase the rabbits.

We would return as the location is good.

 Beautiful site well maintained, super pitches, fantastic location next to the canal and pub adjacent.

Great for touring the historic sights of Wiltshire.

Great dog walking opportunities.

Facilities spotlessly clean, however, the whole Facilities block closes from 10. 30 until 12 with no alternative Facilities to use.

Checkout is before 12, however if you are packing up and heading off and would like a freshen up or loo visit before you go then 10. 30 is your deadline !

Reviewer: Ystalyfera 5 reviews from this member

 When visiting be sure to go for a plot away from the canal end.

We were allocated a plot and after heavy rain we were in almost a foot of water for two days. We moved plot to a dry spot.

Its a top class site otherwise

 Very pleasant site on the canal with excellent site wardens who are always willing to help.

Perfect for getting to the nearby towns of Devizes, Melksham, Trowbridge and the lovely National Trust Village of Lacock.
