 Stayed at Burton Hill over BAnk Holiday weekend. Late arriving (5pm) so received a phone call from Warren at 4. 30pm. Not sure what the purpose of this call was?? We had given our ETA as 2pm.
Upon arrival received a friendly welcome from Audrey and a personal tour of grounds/facilities.
Family room was useful although there was no baby changer and insufficient hooks for clothes/washbags etc. There were lots of old cobwebs and the room could have done with a thorough clean. It's a wet room so it was tricky trying to keep all clothes/shoes dry.
The male and female shower blocks were reasonably clean although there were also many cobwebs everywhere as well as dead spiders. Push-button style water control on showers/sinks rather irritating and the hot water wasn't as hot as I like it to be.
Washing up area is outside but sheltered. Three sinks available. No facilities for children on site and no site shop so be sure to come with the basic staples!
Pricewise, we found Burton Hill to be quite pricey for the limited amenities on offer.

When we stayed at this campsite it was quiet and a nice short riverside-walk from Malmesbury. The owners are friendly and showed us the facilities.
Nice to have a fridge available and some information about what's-going-on in the area. There are only 2 showers for each sex, which seems, to me, is not enough if site is full.
Malmesbury is a very nice old town with some shops and pubs and take-aways.
The grass in the field was very good; even though it rained much.

We found the site well laid out if a little cramped when full. The owners were helpful showing you around the facilities which were always clean and the showers lovely & hot.
The site is well located to visit the town either via the short path or the longer but very pleasant riverside walk. The Abbey and the gardens are well worth a visit if they are you thing.
Can recommend the Smoking Dog if you like Real Ale Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best but would return for another visit. Close by is Tetbury which is also worth a visit especially on market day

We stopped here for two nights. Location is ideal and the site is nice and level. We arrived early evening to be greeted by the site owner who we found to be very polite and she immediately showed us where all the facilities were and gave us an information booklet on the town.
The pitch we had was located in the corner with a bench table for use which was nice.
The facilities are basic and we found them always to be kept clean. Two showers in the male side which gave a good flow of water and nice and warm.
In the site there is a stile that leads down to the river which has a designated 2 mile river walk which is shown in the booklet we were given. We took our two kids on the walk which they enjoyed.
It's about a 5-10 min walk into town along the main path with plenty of shops and restaurants. We ate at the smoking dog pub which allows dogs but only in the beer garden. Luckily it was a nice day.
The abbey is an amazing building to visit for free but we didn't venture into the abbey gardens which there is an entry fee as we had our dog so we gave it a miss.
There is a good kids play area and zip wire just located over the river close to the campsite
Overall a lovely little site with good basic facilities in an ideal location. Would definitely return in a few years.

The site's ideally located to visit Malmesbury, a pleasant and historical town, almost surrounded by two branches of the Avon.
The camping area is a rectangle of level grass without hard-standing, so rather prone to being carved up in wet weather. There was a problem with that before we arrived, so the first thing my wife was asked was 'Is your husband an experienced driver?' (yes, 40+ years, actually).
Some aspects seemed unnecessarily inconvenient, eg toilets closed for cleaning at 8:45am, and a trailer parked to block the grey water disposal.
The £18.50 for two people with a small motorhome was above average, so there seemed little to recommend the site other than its good location and there being few alternatives in the area.

We visited this site on the 8/9th of July, the owners are very friendly and took us around the site showing us toilets, showers, wash up etc and telling us about the area, the site is nice and flat and pegs go in easy.
We walked into town both ways you can walk down to the river and up the main street or go in the other direction and walk along the river which takes you to the top of town, nice is a nice walk if you visit the Abbey House gardens, we did and it's well worth it, a lovely spot.
We may return.

We're just back from two nights at this campsite - normally we are a family of 5 but the children were away with their grandparents so we seized the opportunity of camping with just the two of us.
Location wise, it is fantastic. It takes just 10 minutes to walk into Malmesbury town which is very pretty with useful shops and an Abbey. We were recommended the Abbey gardens by another camper, but didn't have time to visit this time. We did have a look round Cirencester which was lovely.
The facilities were spotless; ladies have 3 toilet cubicles, 2 showers and a private sink cubicle. The showers were push button operated but delivered a decent amount of hot water.
The site owners have put thought into the green credentials of the site and installed light tubes in the ceiling of the washrooms and motion sensor lighting which switches off if no movement is seen after 15 minutes. The only problem with the motion sensors is that they illuminate the site when you pop to the toilet at 1am - no chance of sneaking in discretely!
The washing up area is covered and well thought out with plenty of space. There is a washing machine and fridge/freezer but we didn't need to try either on this visit.
We would consider returning with the family next year; although there is no playground there is plenty of space for playing (there is a very sensible rule of no hard ball games during high season) and plenty of places to visit in the area. I thought it was fairly good value for just the two of us with EHU and the pitches are very generous, but the price increases sharply for larger tents (6+ berth) or more occupants which might make us consider alternatives in the area.
In summary, a peaceful site in a beautiful setting with plenty to do in the area.

Stayed for May half term week. Quiet site during the week despite it being school hols but full up at the weekend.
Grass kept very short, hedges really tidy but lack of planting to detract that you are really just in a well kept field. Would've liked more.
The 2 showers were adequate during the week but were queued for at the weekend but that's to be expected. However when the washing up sinks were being used the showers were almost dry.
Although there is a washing machine housed under the washing up area there is no laundry room and therefore no dryer or washing line which I did miss as when staying for a week with the kids I find it helpful to get a wash load done to reduce the amount I have to do when I get home.
Doesn't take long to walk into the town but it is steep so might not be suitable for everyone.
Nice chinese takeaway from Rendezvous (odd name!).
Went to Cotswold Water Park for watersports - about 45 mins away. Drove through Tetbury en route home and wished we'd gone there as it is a very pretty town with some interesting, albeit expensive-looking, shops - would've liked to have spent a morning browsing.

Just back from a 2 night stay. Probably one of the quietest campsites we have been on which ensured perfect slumber day and night!
Owner very helpful and friendly - came out of the house to greet us when we arrived and told us everything we needed to know.
Basic facilities but adequate and we use our own onboard facilities anyway. Not up to Caravan Club standards (ie Soap dispenser empty on both days)but fine for a small site.
Short walk into town along river for shopping and eating. Just outside entrance is a medical centre with a Boots the Chemist.
Ate out both nights and both times meals were good - Smoking Dog first night and The Kings Arms second night. Would recommend and would return.

We have just returned from an overnight stay at Burton Hill.
We have been camping for about a year now and this was the first site we visited in 2010 and we've visited several times since.
Even though we only live in Swindon this is such a lovely, peaceful site you do still feel as though you are 'miles from home'! We cannot fault this site - great facilities, very helpful owners in a lovely location.
Nearby Malmesbury has lots of convenient shops including a Co-op, take-aways, pubs, banks, bakery etc.
Malmesbury is surrounded by plenty of places to visit - there are many leaflets on-site of places to visit and there is a tourist information centre in the town hall with more info also.
To conclude, a gem of a site that is worth a visit.

We had a warm welcome and were shown the facilities and where we could pitch up. The site was flat and well cared for, with recently cut grass and we had plenty of room to pitch up.
The toilet facilities and dish washing area were clean, with plenty of hot water. A washing machine and fridge/freezer were available on site.
We were taken to a stile on site and the short (5 minute) stroll to Malmesbury along the river was pointed out to us.
We enjoyed the walk to Malmesbury and visited the Abbey. We will return when we have more time to enjoy The Abbey Gardens.
The site had a lovely calm atmosphere to it. All in all a good site to stay for a quiet break within easy access of pubs, and restaurants.

We stayed at Burton Hill whilst visiting friends over Easter.
On the run up to the site I was a bit worried as it appears to be in the middle of a housing estate - but when you get there it's actually quite secluded whilst still being close to the town of Malmesbury.
The owners weren't there when we arrived but they had left directions for us. The site is roughly split into four sections - touring vans and motorhomes, tents, long term pitches and a caravan storage area. Our pitch was adjacent to the latter - which actually meant we had quite a peaceful time as most of the caravans around us were unoccupied.
The site is grassy and pretty flat with a nice view of the church and abbey in the distance.
Facilities wise, we had no problems with the shower temperature - although as there were few tenters on the site when we stayed the toilet block was usually empty. They were clean and fresh, although they could do with having an automatic closer on the door in as it got rather draughty in the shower when someone left the door to the block open! One minor annoyance when showering at night - the motion sensing lights in the toilet block are on a timer and may turn off whilst you're in the shower - and there's no way to turn them back on until you get out!
Overall we enjoyed our stay, a pleasant site for a few days. There's not a great deal for the kids to do other than run about on the grassy areas, a small play area would perhaps be a good addition for the future.

Stayed here for 3 nights in August. This was our first camping trip so didn't know quite what to expect. However we were so glad we stayed here as its a lovely site.
Met at the gates and shown round the site. We were told that the showers can lose pressure at busy times, but we never found this to be the case. We were told we were going to be in the overflow field, which didn't sound great, but when we were shown our pitch it was!. The overflow field is an open field with fantastic views over the countryside.
The nearby town of Malmesbury is very nice. Some great local shops and lovely pubs. We were disapointed that we had brought a pack of sausages from home (for our planned BBQ) as the local butchers specialised in making thier own which looked great. Its a short walk to the town through a field from the campsite to get to. (with one steep hill to walk up)
We got a map of the river walk from the information office in the town and spent an enjoyable afternoon following the river around the town. The pathway goes right past the campsite.
The site is very clean, the toilets and showers cleaned every day. The Staff are friendly and its nice and peaceful.
Would I stay here again? Simple answer, yes.

We stayed for one night here after turning up without booking, as it was Thursday, plenty of room though the owner said he would be full Friday onwards as it was a bank holiday. We were without the kids (hooray!) and only in our small 3-man tent, pitch cost £15 which we thought expensive.
Site is well-kept, grass nicely cut and plenty of room. Showers & WCs are in a single block and after owner's warnings about water pressure in the morning I found water was just about warm enough at 7pm when I tried them despite messages posted about boiler issues.
Site has a lovely (and quick) walk down to the river Avon and into town, we visited the Smoking Dog, great beer & wine, and then ate at the Indian in town - again, lovely.
Overall, site is OK, don't think we'll be back with the kids & big tent though

We stayed 4 nights here at the beginning of August. When we arrived the owners were not around but they had left a note showing where we were to pitch. As we were in a tent and didn't require electric we were put in the side field, this is on top of a hill and there was no protection from the wind so pitching was a little tricky.
The toilet block was nice and clean but the water wasn't particularly hot. There is 3 washing up sinks situated on the outside wall of the toilet block which are undercover and also a launderette style washing machine costing £2 a wash.
In the information room there was loads of useful info and leaflets about the local area including menus and reviews of local pubs, restaurants and shops. There is also an honesty fridge freezer in there, donations for use. Sadly someone helped themselves to the milkshakes my kids had put in there for the next day.
The owners were really helpful and I noticed that when anyone arrived they took time to show them around and tell them about the local area & how to get into the village through the field rather than having to take the car.
Overall it is a lovely quiet site, ideal for visiting the local area. The only thing I would say is that it isn't really ideal if you have children. I felt bad about my boys making any noise as there were no other kids around.
