 We really enjoyed our stay here, but the booking process was surprisingly frustrating and difficult.
We found it impossible to get prices before we actually made a booking and then found it impossible to check which if any discounts had been applied and whether we had made the booking correctly though we did then get the final price.
On arrival we found that the booking was correct but the club use a "Variable Pricing" system which means one cannot tell what the price will be online until after you have booked it.
The staff on site did print out some information which showed that over the 6 nights of our stay we were charged 3 different daily charges for the same pitch.
I was also disappointed that there was no waste recycling bins at this site which was in all other regards a smart clean well appointed site. Disappointing in 2021.

Lovely site, spacious pitches. We have a large unit and awning and ample space on the fully serviced hardstanding pitch.
It was busy as it was August holiday season but the site was well managed and the toilet / shower block very clean.
Five minute walk to canal footpath from site if you carrying kayak.
Cons. Push button showers not long enough.

A nice site split in to small areas divided by hedges, makes the site seem smaller. Great staff, always available to help, and clean facilities. Pitches are quite large, we had a fully serviced pitch, even when the area we were in was full it never felt crowded.
The site is a short walk from the Kennet and Avon Canal and the locks at Caen Hill, worth a visit.
There are pubs on the canal in both directions and one on the road near the entrance to the site.
Places to visit in the area, Bath, Lacock, and Bradford on Avon, Devizes is home to the Wadworth Brewery, go and have a taste!
For supplies the site has a small shop, a fish and chip van visits and Melksham and Devizes have supermarkets.

I last stayed at Devizes C&CC back in February 2012, and much has changed since then!
It now has automatic barriers, three ready (glamping) tents, more hard standing pitches and less grass pitches.
However, it is as nice as it was before, with very clean facilities.
Possibly due to Covid-19, all the stools in the shower cubicles had been removed, and so had the shower curtains and storage basket in the shower itself.
Instead of fixed shower heads, they had been replaced by hand-held sprayer heads, for use with push-button water supply that did not last much more than 10s (some were shorter - I tested them).
The site is only 6 miles from home, and this short trip was the first camping trip for my new puppy, and he loved the dog walk area at the site.
It opens all year round, which is great for me for short trips during the colder months if I fancy a change of scenery.
A visiting fish and chips van came on site on Tuesdays at very reasonable price. Not sure about the soggy chips, however, the cod I had was very nice and crispy, and the serving came with a slice of lemon and two packets of tartare sauce for free (they are 20p each at the chippies in Devizes!).
The pub next door was closed allegedly due to Covid-related issues, therefore, I cannot comment about it.
There is a small playground for kids, however, it was largely unused during my stay being during the week and non-school holidays.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
All in all, a very pleasant stay and first trip for my new dog with thanks, highly recommended.

A friendly welcome to an immaculate, tidy site. We chose a fully serviced pitch for minimum required effort.
Handy for stroll alongside the Kennet & Avon canal, one way towards Devizes, the other towards the Caen flight of locks
There is a pub just outside the site entrance which has a good selection of wines & beers with excellent food & service.
There are also other pubs fairly close which are also good. Devizes has some excellent shops with an outstanding butchers /deli in the town.
The only disturbance we experienced were a multi-outfit family group who were noisy, zooming around the site on illegal e-scooters, with no regard for anyone else- despite being told on numerous occasions to stop by the staff. This situation requires the club to issue a definitive ruling before someone is hurt.
Otherwise up to the usual camping and caavanning club standard- excellent.

Our second visit - and this time we made it to the Locks! Older walkers will notice the lack of seats en route.
The pub is now open and provided very good food. At present they are closed on Mondays.
The showers are the old "push the button" type and it's a bit tiresome to keep having to do so. That being said the facilities were spotless.
Another excellent visit.

Stayed on this site for a couple of nights. We have been before and felt it was worth re visiting.
We were greeted by a couple of the wardens who explained the rules due to Covid-19 and were asked what kind of pitch we would prefer. We were then shown to where we had requested. Very friendly wardens, excellent safety measures in place.
Bus stop not far from the site entrance and frequent service to Bath in one direction, Devizes in the other. We took the bus into Bath.
There’s a pub within walking distance and we had dinner in here one evening. Very pleasant and our food was excellent. Again, really good Covid-19 safety measures in place.
The canal near the campsite is worth walking along.
We will return to this site next year.

Enjoyed a 3 night stay towards the end of October. Staff were very friendly and welcoming,
Facilities were made safe but not OTT so treated like intelligent adults with adequate access.
Having the canal next to the site was excellent and the walk along it to Devizes was very pleasant and easy, with the great cafe at the top of the flight of locks.
We felt very comfortable with this site and would visit again.

Immaculate site, friendly and helpful staff, excellent notes and literature and £18. 50 pn for members. What more could we want?Extremely enjoyable stay and we will be back as soon as we can.
Notes :
1) There is a Market in Devizes each Thursday and a Farmers Market on Saturdays.
2) A fish & chip van calls on Thursday and Saturday
3) Wifi is very weak away from Reception.
4) The Three Magpies pub at the entrance is still closed
5) It's a pleasant canalside 40 minute walk to the Barge pub where we had a good Sunday roast.

Stayed at Devizes club site to visit the Christmas market in Bath, we are non members and received a friendly welcome. We are members of the caravan club but couldn't find a site close to bath within public transport range.
The site was well maintained and the pitches were a good size, we had a electric pitch with awning we did enquire about a fully serviced pitch but they only had 8 and were full, our pitch was close to the shower block and amenities the shower block which seems to be the bone of contention with reviews was in our opinion fine, yes it's a bit outdated but it was warm and clean, the showers were push button which I don't particularly like but it wasn't that much of a problem I'm sure one day they will be updated.
The site has a bus stop just outside about a 3 minute walk from the site entrance and on a Saturday ran every hour, taking about 45 minutes to bath bus station on a Sunday it ran every 2 hours.
We chose to travel down to Devizes by using the A roads instead of motorways and found our journey from Cheshire much better than the dreaded m6 and m5 so something to think about if your journey is from a similar area,
Overall enjoyed our trip and will certainly use this site again so much to see and do around Bath.

Lovely clean park with well kept pitches.
Friendly, helpful staff, kids play park on site, short ish wall to see the locks.
Saw many reviews on here about the toilets before going. They were fine, cleaned regularly but yes maybe a bit tired, but still functional.
All in all a nice couple of days. Thanks.

Lovely well maintained site located next to Kennet & Avon Canal.
Plenty to do and visit in the surrounding area.
Great pub just outside site entrance that does wonderful food, but you must book even out of season

We have visited several Camping & Caravanning Club sites over the past years but this one definitely has to be our favourite so far. The site is well laid out with the grass kept in good order along with the two dog walking fields which is a bonus.
The one field, your dog has to be kept on a lead but the other has a gate which is designated to safely let your dog off and two dog poop bins have been provided which are emptied by the wardens on a regular basis.
It has been pointed out by a previous review that the toilet block is a little outdated but even though the block was constructed in 1999 the facilities are spotlessly clean and kept in good clean condition so no cause for complaint from my point of view.
The wardens were very friendly and extremely helpful and work tirelessly to keep the campsite to a high standard plus the shop (even though quite small) provides all the basic necessities required. The TV reception was excellent and received all the main TV channels without any signal issues.
There is a pub within walking distance from the campsite, the 'Three Magpies' and had a meal in there one night but not impressed at all.
The Beef Lasagne I ordered tasted more like a glorified pizza as all I could taste was just cheese and tomato and couldn't see or taste any meat and the single sheet of pasta was about half the size of a £5 note.
It was served with just a basic Rocket salad with no chips. My wife had the Ham salad with chips which the meat was fatty and the chips were hard and burnt so wouldn't recommend their food from our personal experience.
However, we did have a meal at the 'Black Horse' canal side pub near Devizes which the food was excellent and reasonably priced plus the bonus of a tranquil setting of the Kennet & Avon canal.
In Devizes town they have canal trips from the 'Wharf' which was excellent value at £6 each for nearly a 2 hour cruise along the Kennet & Avon Canal.
Caen Hill locks is a big attraction but rather disappointed to learn that the bottom lock was about a 45 minute walk from the site so not ideal if you have a disabled person in a wheelchair or mobility scooter.
However, there is a car park about mid-way along the locks that has a quaint little tearoom and can highly recommend the ice cream which comes in different choice of flavours.
We also visited Stonehenge which is just under 20 miles away and although an excellent day out the cafe was somewhat over priced charging £2. 50 for a cup of tea and £4. 75 for a cornish pasty.
However, we did visit the Atwell-Wilson motor museum in Calne which was well worth the visit with numerous vehicles and motor cycles of yesteryear on public display for a entrance fee of just £7. 00 each which was well worth the visit and highly recommended especially for those with an interest of vintage and classic cars.
We would definitely return again to this site, not just as a favourite but I hope to visit Avebury Stone Circle next time around.

Friendly staff and helpful
