 This was our second visit to the three Magpies we were last there 4 years ago. I was surprised to see the same shower/toilet block there. I thought at the time they were temporary and by now permanent structures would have been installed. These showers/toilets let the site down. One cubicle in the ladies and one in the gents were inadequate for the number of people on the site. And they also charge a £1 for a shower. Also I find it pretty poor that having used the toilet you do not have facilities for drying your hands other than using toilet paper, surely an electric hand dryer could be provided for hygiene purposes. The only other unsatisfactory issue was the fact that they will place tents and caravans next to each other, where electric hook up cannot be used because a tent is on that plot. Personally I think tents and caravans should be separated as it could also be a hazard, this could easily be achieved on this site as it has two separate fields. The positive side of the site is easy access off the main road, a very nice Country Pub serving meals with a good supply of real ale. Also the canal walks are within a stone throw away where you could walk to the The Barge country Pub where they also serve excellent food and have a lovely beer garden where you can watch the canal boats pass by. You could also walk in the other direction to Devizes.

Didn't feel very welcome when I arrived and was taken to my pitch.
Was reprimanded for driving on the grass but wasn't told I was supposed to park on the hardstanding and carry all the equipment across.
Ground quite uneven.
Toilets very basic, there was no soap in either the gents or disabled toilet. No hot water in washing up area (only one sink).
A shame as this used to be a really nice campsite where I have had great times in the past but I won't be going back in a hurry again.

What an amazing find. Lovely field to camp in we parked near some trees. Clean toilet and shower facilities We however used the pub the for a meals it was really good tasty well cooked. Lots of choice if you are vegetarian and the St Clements posset with pistachio shortbread Devine. Very friendly owners, dogs welcome in the bar not the restaurant. Having been asked for £35 per night next door a the caravan and camping site we were delighted to pay £12 without electric or £15. I will say that it was the camping and caravan club receptionist who told us about the the Three Magpies. Short walk to the Kennett and Avon Canal.

Given a good weather weekend I spent one night here as the C&CC Club Site was full (it always is). Only hardstandings were available but awning pegs were no problem with rock pegs. Site was full and in the grounds of the pub. Lovely place. Toilet/shower (£1 token) were clean and well stocked. Pub is excellent, allowing pets in. Lovely meals. Would definitely go again - prefer this to the Club Site, as my neighbours agreed.

I really liked this site, the facilities are basic and I agree with a previous reviewer that the owners could make changes and charge more. However, I like the fact that they don't have a lot of rules, it does state that it is a laid back site, my group consisted of 1 motorhome, 1 camper van & 1 tent, 6 adults & 3 dogs! We have all facilities on board & you can use the pub toilets too. Location is great, 2 minute walk to the Kennet & Avon canal, the pub serves good food, the bar is dog friendly, the staff are really friendly & the pub also has a good atmosphere. Definitely will return to this site. I have stayed at the CC&C next door which is pristine but the cost of Three Magpies is the deal sealer for us.

The site is quite basic. The field is reasonably flat with slight undulations. You are given no information regarding defining your pitch, where the water points are, or what the Ehu power output is ie 13 amp. So you have to work this out for yourself.
Regarding water there are 2 points, 1 in the field and 1 beside the toilet block. Toilets. There is 1 mens 1 women and 1 disabled; so not a lot if there are 15 tents/caravans. Grey water gets dumped in the hedge. The shower block is basic needs a radical update and more added. The good points are. It is cheap quiet and good for dog walking. The pub is good and does good food and reasonably priced. Tv reception very good. Site rules -never found out what /if there were any.
The site has so much potential and they could on completion increase their prices as the next door Caravan camping site is twice as much and twice as busy. I left a day early due to all the above and I wouldn't use the site again. Cheap and quiet is the best I could say.

This was our first ever campsite with a caravan. Have never camped before, so did not know what to expect or what the benchmark for standards was. We went into the pub to find out and a lady was very helpful and showed us where we could park. We actually could choose as there were only 3 other tourers there. I think there were 3-4 permanent caravans on site. The site was level and dry. The toilets were basic but clean. We stayed for 3 nights and tried the pub once for dinner. The meal was very good and plenty of it. The canal tow path was only about 200M away and well worth a walk/cycle into Devizes past Caen Hill locks. Another day we cycled the opposite way along the canal into Melksham. A very quiet site, good local pub. Since going to The Three Magpies, we have been to 5 other campsites and now realise what the benchmark should be. Yes, the toilets/showers could be improved, but for a short stay this is not a problem. At £15 to include H/Up per night this was very reasonable.

I was a little hesitant about booking this site after reading previous reviews that the ground can be boggy and that the facilities leave a lot to be desired. I need not have worried. For a small pub site this ranks pretty high in my estimations.
Yes, the facilities were basic. They are housed in a portacabin and in the gents there is only one loo, one very small sink, 3 urinals and two showers and I would imagine if they get busy with tents (rather than wheeled units which have their own facilities) there could well be a queue. However, they were spotlessly clean and heated. Unfortunately there was no soap in the dispenser and no hand dryers but most people use their own anyway. At least there was plenty of toilet paper and hot water (be it a little slow coming out of the water heater spout).
The camping field itself was better than many far more expensive sites I have had to endure in the past. The grass was plush but well mown and the entire campsite was clearly well maintained. No sign of any waterlogging. There is a children's play area within the pub garden.
The only negatives I could find was the noise from the main road, which tended to fade into the background, and an abundance of noisy crows that woke me at 5. 00am and then moved on when they were sure I was fully awake!
The tariff is per pitch rather than per person and I paid £10 a night with EHU and that was with a 6 man tent. I believe they charge very slightly more for caravans and motorhomes but still very reasonable.
The pub itself was pleasant enough although it does get busy at meal times. Prices were pretty reasonable. There is a bus stop right outside with a regular bus service to interesting local places. The Kennet and Avon Canal is just two or 3 minutes walk down the road with walks in either direction.
This is a site I would certainly use again and the area is well worth visiting.

We had booked a few nights on this site, but only stayed one. We had booked a hardstanding pitch, which turned out to be a bit of waste ground behind the pub. Not very attractive. The field beyond, for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, admittedly did look in very good condition.
Our reception was a bit off-putting, as if they didn't really have time to show us where to park, where the facilities were, any local info, etc. Anyway, we set up and then went to look for the toilets and showers. Oh dear! There was only one ladies toilet, and one shower. The shower was disgusting, and they were charging a pound for it! I think the men's was similar. Looking round, there were over a dozen caravans, and about ten tents, so hardly enough facilities I think.
We did call in the pub for a drink, but at £3. 60 for a pint of flat beer, it was our only visit.
It didn't take us long to decide to pack up and leave the next morning.
