A wonderful, welcoming site which both we and the children (9, 5 and 5) all thoroughly enjoyed.
The pitches were substantial enough to fit our 2 4-man tents and a gazebo, and the car.
At first the 2 showers and 2 toilets seemed light. But the lack of more simply was never a problem. The toilets were always spotlessly clean. The showers had plentiful hot water. The only reason we have given 9/10 for the facilities is the limited toilet block which genuinely was not a problem for us (and the site was full) but others may want to be aware of.
For children, the site is a dream. Safe, secure and fun. Feeding time was much loved, as were the hired bikes (£3 for duration of the stay), and, in particular, the evening fires. The Children were able to enjoy a real freedom.
Feeding time, twice a day, meant the children being taken around various animals for half-an-hour on each occasion to feed the animals, and get in their pens. Alan had a very free approach with the children in with the animals which allowed them, again, a freedom they are not always able to enjoy.
The local village has a pub which we would highly recommend for Sunday lunch, and fish and chips on Tuesdays.
Trowbridge, 10 minutes drive away, has all the shops you'd need for provisions and had a great camping shop (B&H Camping).
Plenty of English Heritage and National Trust properties around.
First visit to Midbrooks but won't be our last, there are only 17 pitches and so not to manic! Kids got to feed the animals in the morning and at night which they loved. The pitches were a reasonable size, we were lucky as we had the biggest one. You can have a fire at night and they supply grill and firewood for £6.
They have a microwave (handy for sterilising if you have a baby, which we did)2 fridges and a freezer. A couple of points to charge phone but anyone could take it but you are all in the same boat as such so didn't feel worried. 2 Showers and toilets is the only down fall, queueing can be a little stressful but had hot water and strong spray so could of been worse! Excellent value for money I feel. Looking forward to going again as is my 5 yr old who wanted to stay all summer holidays!
A lovely small friendly site, with large marked out pitches and extremely helpful owners. An ideal site for children who are able to feed the animals and rent out bikes. There are 2 toilets and 2 showers which are in separate small sheds but which were adequate for our needs very rarely had to wait. There is a fridge freezer a fridge and a microwave available which is very useful. The campsite is quite a long way down a single track country lane and out of the way for everything so you need a car, but all in all this campsite more than filled our expectations and a good time was had by all
This is a very friendly campsite with lovely grass pitches, all good sized and sheltered. The children loved feeding the animals and you can get a bucket for scraps to feed Molly the pig.
Fresh eggs (hen and duck) are available from the site and you can also buy firewood to have your own campfire, which was lovely.
The site is great for children to run around in and play.
There is no electricity but there is a fridge and freezer for use by campers so didn't mind that at all.
Only criticism would be that there are only 2 showers and 2 toilets, and on a busy weekend you often had to wait. Hot water variable. There is 1 washing up sink, with no shelter from rain, which made the washing up even less pleasant than usual!
However the warm welcome and the beautiful surroundings made this a very pleasant stay.
This is our third visit to Midbrooks, at the specific request of our children (aged 10 & 8). The site was full (max 17 pitches) but it still felt spacious without being on top of each other.
Next door to Keevil Airfield, lots of gliders to watch. Helicopters often also do night practises, great to watch and they don't stay for long.
Alan installed a new fridge whilst we were there, which was a good idea as there is no freezer block facility. He is always checking for things that need fixing and that pitches are ok etc and as has been said before, is very cheerful and great with the children at animal feeding time. We had one of Sue's cream teas this time and what yummy scones they were!
Would also recommend hiring a Canadian Canoe on the Kennet & Avon canal at Bradford-on-Avon. Only £10 an hour and it is a lovely gentle way to enjoy the water, the wildlife and the narrowboats.
We spent just the one night here, to try our new tent (and our new baby!) out. Our two older children loved the place, and so did we. The baby hasn't told us what she thought, but she seemed happy enough.
The facilities were perfect for our needs, the toilets etc clean and the fridge & microwave very handy. The small size of the site makes it very friendly, a lot of children seemed to be on site, and everyone played together happily.
Contrary to what someone else said below, there seemed to me to be plenty of room to play in between tents and in a couple of extra green spaces.
The owners were very friendly and helpful - we bought firewood for £6 a big bag (would have done 2 nights) and loved having a campfire. The spot was very sheltered and rural - not too windy, and it felt very peaceful putting the children to bed and being able to hear the occasional moo in the background. Lovely.
I can't comment further on the surrounding area due to not having left the campsite at all, but it seemed well placed to get to Wiltshire's attractions.
Bike hire was a steal at £1 a day or £3 for the duration of your stay. They also have ones with stabilisers on, and also scooters of all sizes, so even toddlers will find something to play with. Some good slopes for zooming down, as well! If I were to offer a tiny bit of constructive criticism (and it's difficult to) I might say that a few swings or something to climb on might be a useful addition to one of the spaces.
We really enjoyed the animal feeding, at 6pm and 9am, and the children were able to collect eggs, which you can buy for £1.25 a half dozen - very reasonable indeed. We even saw baby rabbits 2 days old, and a nest of tiny baby birds.
I will definitely be coming back here, it was a fantastic camping experience.
We love this campsite - very small, very friendly and in a beautiful setting with fields all around so a real peaceful get away from it all location. Alan and Sue are very friendly and Alan takes the children round to feed the animals in the morning and the evening and we have even had to leave Longleat early in order that the children didn't miss this! Surrounding area lovely for bike rides and bikes can be hired at the site which is a great idea. Site very well kept - facilities quite basic but more than adequate although we have never stayed there when very busy. Are returning again August bank holiday so no doubt will find out how they are when the site is busier then! We sampled a cream teas on our last visit and will be having another on our next visit - delicious! Our children (currently 6 and 7) love this site just as much as we do. And a real plus for us is that you can have an open fire - wood, etc needs to be purchased from Alan and Sue but is reasonably priced and well, well worth it in our opinion. Probably one of our favourite campsites.
There were loads of baby animals for my sons to see. Baby chicks, blue tits, rabbits. They got to feed loads of animals and even bottle feed the baby sheep their milk, which was amazing.
Alan is so great with the kids, he spends loads of time talking to them about the animals and making sure they are not scared of them and it is lovely to see him putting a smile on all the children's faces.
The site was very clean and tidy and lovely and peaceful. On our first night it was just us there but the next 2 nights there were about half a dozen other tents/camper vans. Everyone was so considerate, by nine thirty the site was quiet and the only noise in the morning was from the birds doing their dawn chorus and the cows.
On our last day we arranged to have a cream tea. Sue made fresh scones, which we had on the terrace along with home made jams and clotted cream. It was really delicious and nicely finished off our break here.
These 3 nights were by special request of my eldest son Noah who was going to turn 6 whilst we were here. When asked what he wanted to do for his Birthday he asked to come back here.
I think that says it all really. Him and his brother are already asking when we will be going back to see Molly the pig and the other animals. (we will be returning in August with some more of our family)
We visited Midbrooks at the beginning of September, 4 adults, 1 child and 3 dogs. Great site and great owners. Local shop has everything you need and more. Site was clean tidy and well kept. Feeding time for the animals went down well with everyone(including the adults). The fridges and microwave are a great addition and a welcome surprise. The shower & toilet blocks are clean. There is plenty to do in the area, but just a note Stonehenge doesn't allow dogs, but longleat has a great day kennel block for dogs so you don't have to miss out on the safari and then the dogs are allowed on the ground(but not in any of the attractions). Our son had a bike for a couple of days, the site is perfect for children, dogs everyone really, we will be back. Loved it.
We have recently returned from a mid week stay at midbrookes and found our stay to be everything we had hoped for. It was ideal for the children as they were able to play freely in a safe environment, they also loved the feeding of the animals each day! The facilities were pretty basic but were very clean. Although the campsite itself was quite remote, it is only a short drive from the local pub and shop-which were both closed as we decided to visit, however the next pub wasn't too far either with a lovely children's play area. We are already talking about when we will be visiting again!
We have just come back from a week stay at Midbrooks. We came down to go to the Balloon fiesta at Bristol.
It is a lovely peaceful site and the owners are very friendly.
All the previous reviews are correct however we found a few things that haven't been mentioned by previous reviews.
There are only two toilets and that in itself isn't a problem however there is no separate area to have a wash and brush teeth etc so this meant that the toilets were used by people having a wash or brushing their teeth.
There are only 2 showers which are in sheds and the bottom shower is very low. I am 5ft 10 and I was constantly bumping my head in the shower. The water was nice and hot however it seemed to be affected by others using it elsewhere on the site and it would become very cold.They are kept clean though.
The pitches were a good size and well sheltered. We did find that when the site is full that there wasn't much space for children to play.
As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the washing up area is not covered so we ended up getting wet when we were washing up on a couple of occasions.
The owners provide 2 fridges, a freezer and a microwave which were very handy.
This is a good site and we would go back however with a few changes it would be a great site.
Well what more can I add that hasn't already been said. This site is excellent.
My two children (2 &7) loved the feeling of freedom as it was so safe for them to roam free on site, they loved feeding all the animals especially being able to handle the baby rabbits and chicks.
Having a fire every night is what really makes camping great. You can buy logs on site for a reasonable price.
The showers and toilets on site were ample for the amount of pitches there, and were always clean. There was even 2 fridges available.
It was great visiting Longleat, Brokerwood country park and seeing the Westbury White Horse as all were less then 1/2 hour away.
Having just returned from a fabulous week I can say that this is the best camp site we have stayed on. It was really hard to leave as we had such an enjoyable time. We enjoyed our days out to Longleat, Stonehenge, The White Horse and Laycock Manor.
However, what really made the holiday so great was the camp site. The owners are extremely friendly and the site is just such a happy place. There is plenty of space for each pitch and also a great area for the children and adults to play games, which we did along with other families there.
My children hired bikes for the week (£3 each - bargain) and enjoyed cycling about the site. Another great feature was the twice daily (9am and 6pm) feeding time for the animals. There is a pig called Molly, sheep, chickens, rabbits.
The children loved collecting the eggs as well as stroking the week old baby rabbits. The facilities at the site were very clean and although there are two toilets and two showers, as it is a small site there wasn't a problem.
Every evening we looked forward to our camp fire; £6 for logs which lasted a couple of nights. The site is also very quiet, no busy roads or traffic noise, just the odd moo of a cow from the nearby fields. It is located just over a mile from the village, we walked into the village for a meal at the pub which was very good.
There is also a shop in the village. I would definitely recommend this site to families looking for a great camping experience.
Having read the reviews we booked, and kept our fingers crossed that we wouldn't be disappointed. All I can say is Wow! We were two families each with 2 adults and two children - 5 and 7. Well the kids had a ball - space to run and play, animals to feed and other children to get to know.
We adults had a great time too, joining in with everyone else in cricket and football games, reading or just sitting and watching the children enjoy themselves. We hired a bike for our eldest - £3 for the week - bargain - he could ride but was not confident or stable, he now zooms around and has started trying to do stunts!
Feeding times were a hit with young and old alike. Alan patiently helping all children that wanted to, to hand feed Molly, to stroke the sheep, collect eggs or to hold the tiny chicks.
The facilities may only have been two toilets and two showers, but we rarely had to wait and they were spotless. The poshest sheds I've seen!
I would thoroughly recommend trying the cream teas - freshly made to order scones and gorgeous strawberry and blackcurrant jams with lashings of cream. We ordered for 4, but had enough for all 8 of us!
Steeple Ashton was a short walk away - a lovely village, with a friendly pub and village shop. The site itself was fairly remote - we had several clear nights and I've never seen so many stars and it was blissfully quiet (when the children were asleep!).
I could go on and on - it was just the sort of site I've been looking for!
