As you can see from the dates visited, we went once, liked it, and went again!!

Site warden is welcoming and the site itself is peaceful and friendly, while the facilities are clean with plenty of hot water for the free showers.

The shop is well stocked and open every day, though the times can vary out of main season - usually well posted in advance. There is a supermarket in nearby Calne for anything you need that the shop doesn't have.

There are two lakes, one for fishing and one for wildlife (I think) and these make for great bird spotting and seem to be well fenced and gated to keep children safe.

Overall, a really lovely place to stay. Would definately recommend as a good 'first' site, as it's where we started out!!

Just returned from a week here using our new Wynnster Venus 5 tent.

We decided to use paddock 9 as it seemed more 'pastural' and tent friendly, a nice level site and close to the shower/loo block too, very quiet and very relaxing. Nice welcome from the warden too.

This place is central to everything you may wish to see in Wiltshire, from Avebury and it's astonishing stone circles, to Lacock village just up the road. Even Stonehenge and Salisbury aren't too far away.

We just had a very lazy week, and once we decided to have our shower at 9ish rather than 7ish, even the shower block was warm enough!

We will definitely be returning next year, perhaps during the crop circle season:-)

Only one minor niggle, and it may have been due to the time of year we were there. But when the shop is supposed to be open from 9 to 11 and you turn up at 10 to retrieve your ice packs and it's shut.... This happened a lot and it was very hit and miss as to whether the shop would be open.

Overall though a very happy return to camping. We even had The University of Sheffield's Department of Archeology and Prehistory and their 20 odd tents with us for a bit of interest. They were doing a 2 week dig over at nearby Pewsey.

We were sad to leave Blacklands, which says it all really.

Hello.
Me and my wife (Deb) and our cocker spaniel (Jaydee) visited this site. It was only our second ever go at camping and we really liked it!
The showers and loos etc were all ok and clean, The shop was a bit "basic" but again ok, It's ideal if you like country walks BUT take your own OS map as there are no maps in the on site tourist cabin and nowhere to buy one locally.
We visited on bank holiday weekend and the site was busy but NOT cramped at all, we had a great break and would definetly return.
A nice site with a good atmosphere!

This was our first time. Having purchased a 4 person tent at Easter we decided my cousin's wedding in nearby Trowbridge was an ideal time to try it out. There were only a few of us braving the weather this weekend which gave us a choice of pitch. The site was lovely, plenty of room for the kids to run around and wild life to chase!! Being only 8 and nearly 3 I was a bit concerned about security, but there was no need at Blackland Lakes, I was more than happy for them to go to and fro from the play area. The shower and toilets were execellent the only drawback was there was a party each of the 2 nights we were there but the fresh air must have tired me out as I have no idea who eventually won catch the jelly on the first night and American Pie was the last song I remember being squealed out the following night.

The weather was wet and windy and could have been warmer for the time of year but surprisingly I loved it and found camping incredibly relaxing, the campsite was fantastic (despite the noise, which I understand is very unusual)and I will definitely go back there again.

I'm almost reluctant to share this campsite with anyone! It is a small site with two fishing lakes and a small nature reserve. It is quite and peaceful and kept to an immaculate standard. The showers are always spotless with plenty of hot water, which also applies to the washing up area. My husband and I adore the place and can't praise Chris the Warden enough for the way the site is run.

 Being Camping virgins until last weekend (4th May 2001), my wife and I together with our three legged dog, Molly, were unsure where to go for an exciting but pieceful weekend in a tent!

After asking around some hardened campers at work, Blackland Leisure Camp site came highly recommended.

On arriving at the site after a 2 1/2 hour drive from Birmingham, we could not be more overwelmed with the site. Pieceful, friendly, laidback, facilities excellent!

There is plenty to see and do around the area, finding the white horses on the hill sides, druids stones, etc. But if you just want to lie in the field, relax or even watch the fishermen on the on-site pools, there is no better place.

Our time at Blackland has gave us an insite into how exciting, relaxing and fun camping life can be and has inspired us to do more in the very near future.

If you are a first time camper, we could not recommend a better place to visit
