What a fantastic site this is. 100 yards from the entrance and you are in Longleat Safari Park. Lovely house and gardens to stroll around. Listen to the sea lions from the campsite. Well laid out pitches and spotless. Up to the standards you would expect from Caravan Club. Just a bit disappointed that the earliest arrival time was 13. 00 hrs. The lane was a bit narrow and about a mile and a half so I guess this was the reason. Mobile phone signal not great there either.
This is a lovely site that I would highly recommend
The pitches are well spaced, hardstanding throughout. All pitches even have TV aerial connection so worth taking a cable if you have one to guarantee good reception.
The facilities are very very well maintained, water is convenient and there are well designed emptying points.
The staff were very nice, professional and courteous and a credit to themselves.
We have small children and they loved the play area, there are sensible rules regarding scooter usage after dusk to prevent nuisance to other residents. Due to its proximity to the Safari park there is probably a higher percentage of families on the site - but it is not a massive site and therefore does not feel over-run.
The main attraction is the Safari park, however there are other things to see locally too (National Trust at Stouron is really worth a look) and would use this site even if I was not going!
In short - one not to be missed - will definitely go back.
Longleat site has undergone some changes for this year, you now approach the site NOT through Longleat grounds, but via the old exit only lane. It is a bit tight, but we had no issues with our big twin axle, and have heard no other problems.
You will need you CC pass to get onto Longleat grounds, and no dogs are allowed. This is due to a massive increase in their insurance costs, inputting these changes has saved them over 100k a year, so you have to understand why! However, they have invested a lot in the Safari and the new Gorilla colony, so it's not all bad!
Longleat season pass is ideal if you plan to use this all the time you are here, the adventure playground in Longleat will keep the kids happy for days, just take towels and change of clothes on sunny days as they WILL get wet!
The rest of Longleat has all the attractions you could want.
The site is here for Longleat, however if you wish to venture out you'll need the car.
Nearest shops are Frome, where there are numerous shops, Asda, Iceland and Lidl's to name a few. There is a market on sundays in peak season's, and the shops here will cater for almost all your needs.
Asda also has a fuel station and is amongst the cheapest you'll find, it is card only payment as unmanned.
Fleet air arm museum is about 40 mins away as is Haynes Motor Museum, both are well worth a visit and will see out a day easily.
This part of the country has loads to offer, you just need to look a little harder to find it.
The site copes very well with heavy rain, very few pitches ever flood, and any surface water drained away quickly.
Site is normal CC layout, various pitches all with different positions and sizes, almost all are hard-standing. Some are closer to toilets than others, those nearly the play parks will be busier and noisier than others. If you want a quiet life in school hols then stick to the edges, however we have kids so did not see this as a problem.
There is no where for them to go, if they do wander outside the main gate, then they be stopped by either security guard on peak times, or find themselves in a quiet lane! The site is big so unlikely to happen, even our 3 year old didn't wander outside and we were close to the entrance.
Overall the site is a high standard and well kept as per most CC sites, the small shop on site does the basics, but don't expect it to keep you going.
If you are looking to come here for hols, then collect Tesco vouchers for Longleat, it'll save you fortunes!
This has to be one of the best sites we have visited, from the wardens right down to the heated floor in the shower blocks.
The whole thing was immaculate, well laid out, and as we had our 4 & 6 year old grandchildren with us, the play area was superb. All the drivers obeyed the speed limit signs so kids could ride their bikes in perfect safety. The Safari Park is right next door so a few minutes walk and we were in it. Will definitely go back again.
Although I will score the site 8/10 I was a little disappointed. After reading he reviews, most of which score 8/9 out of 10 I expected more.
Very well maintained site with good size pitches. EHU on each pitch and TV booster. (cables made the place look untidy)
The lane to the site is about 2 miles of just larger than single track. There is little in the way of shops in the area and so a 15 minute drive to Warminster or Frome is needed. There are a couple of pubs within 10 minute drive.
On arrival the staff were not rude or offensive just not welcoming.
We have a 2 year old and so a park to entertain him is a must. The children's area on site is again to a high standard but small. 10 minutes on the swing and a further 5 on the slide and he was bored.
The shower block is again to a nice standard, closes for 90 minutes at lunchtime.
Camping on site gains free entry to the house and grounds at Longleat. The weather was very poor so we didn't bother with the grounds, but a stroll around them in the sunshine may have made a visit to he campsite a more enjoyable experience.
We have stayed at Longleat several times previously. We still found the site to be immaculate in its grounds and maintenance, and the reception and check in was just fine. The wardens were helpful and friendly enough when we had any contact with them. The pitches are large and the children (aged between 9 and 14) enjoyed the park and village green where they could play cricket and football.
The toilets are absoluetly immaculate, allthough there were a few queues in the mornings for the showers (only 4/5 persons in the queue)in the ladies. We don't mind waiting though.
The proximity to Longleat attractions is the real plus point for this site for us. We did the Tesco vouchers, which only cost £6 for a day pass where you could go in and out all day (if you had enough time!) Excellant value for money for £6 each. We all really enjoyed the day and loved the new Birds of Prey show.
The only negative this year is that last year we enjoyed very much being able to take long walks and cycle around the estate after the park had closed. It was peaceful and beautiful and the cycling and walking was amazing. We were also able to take the dog with us last year, but now new restrictions are in place, and you can no longer take your dog or cycle into the estate. We even had our bags searched whilst passing through the barrier, and were asked to show receipts for our stay at the site along with our day passes. Seemed a little extreme to us. It spoilt it a little for us I must admit.
That said, due to the kids having a ball at Longleat, we will stay again in 2013.
We arrived at this site on the back of a recovery truck, our clutch cable having broken a few miles up the road. The site staff couldn't have been more helpful or understanding, and what could have been a frustrated and worrying evening (we weren't sure if we could get repaired next day before travelling on), turned out to be a relaxed time on this wonderful site. Quiet and peaceful – only the sealions to disturb the silence! – excellent, very clean facilities.
We found the shop a bit limited in its supplies and accessible pubs all seemed a bit of a walk (though this might just have been us being wimps after a trying day). A fish and chip van visits the site, apparently, sadly not on the night we were there.
As non-Caravan Club members we paid £10 more for our pitch, but we would definitely come here again, not least to make the most of Longleat, next-door. A welcoming and relaxing site.
This site is in a great location & the perfect base for visiting Longleat - there is so much to do & see. The site facilities are the standard that you would expect from the Caravan Club - spotless & plentiful facilities, my only criticisms of the site would be too many signs telling you what to do & the speed at which to do it - we're on holiday, not at school, and the pitches are now so large that there is a sea of gravel with limited areas to sit on grass by your pitch, we have a small unit & it is lost on the pitch.
Please be aware that the Longleat Estate have altered some of the rules so you will find some changes, do check where you intend to go & can you return at night - bear in mind that a National Cycle route does run through the park so you should be able to return from The Bath Arms on bicycle, but other routes will not be accessible by car. Dog walking rules have changed also.
On the positive side - very beautiful part of the world. Lots to do & see, good pubs locally, cycle & walk to several. If you stay with children, the site is perfect for doing bits of the park, getting back to base to recharge your batteries, then going back into the park - you will have a great time. There is also a good playground on the site.
A wonderful site - all the usual CC advantages - immaculately kept, excellent toilet blocks and very friendly and helpful wardens. A one night stay became three, partly because of the site itself and partly because of the Longleat estate, which we loved. Plenty of shady pitches which is important for us because of the dogs and it was particularly hot. The site dog-walk is great. Value for money was quite good (£20. 30 all-in with two dogs) with the added advantage of a discount on admission to the estate.
Wow, what a fantastic introduction to the world of camping! We took our motorhome on its maiden voyage, and this was the first site we stopped at.
I fear that nowhere else will ever be able to live up to its standard, that's the problem! Immaculate site, all gravelled and landscaped, set in stunning surroundings.
You can hear owls hooting and lions roaring at night - does it get better than that?!
The toilet/shower block was superb, the pitch was roomy, and I thought it was really good value for money too.
I wasn't a Caravan Club member, but having seen the superiority of this site, I'm gonna be!
As others have mentioned a lovely site and only a 250m walk to Longleat house and the attractions. The site is extremely clean and tidy, the three toilet blocks were spotless and modern, and the baby and toddler rooms were excellent (£10 deposit required for key).
The staff were helpful when approached but perhaps not the most chatty of wardens.
There is an on site laundry room which cost £3 for a wash and 70p per 15 mins for a tumble dry, useful if you have a baby like we have. You also get a discount on longleat tickets if you are a member of the CC and are staying at the site so don't buy in advance!
There is a modern children's play area and also TV hook ups for those that need them. The site has a great fish and chip van that visits 3 days a week in the peak season but only comes on a Friday during the off season periods.
Please expect children on the site, certainly at the weekends / holidays, but this isn't a problem and should not put anyone off.
Overall we thought this was another excellent CC site and one we will certainly be returning to next year!
This was our 5th visit to the site, and as some others have said, it is likely to be our last. The site is lovely, and in a unique location, however, the friendly wardens were absent during our stay - we found the wardens to unhelpful at best. They were unaware of the local area and simply unfriendly.
I had to ask twice to be admitted to the park after checking in; we had a problem with flies and wasps covering the outside of our awning so went to the shop to see if they sold flyspray. We also asked if it was a problem that had been mentioned to them before as we have had no such fly problems elsewhere, and they were on ours and two other awnings only. We were told they don't, and we would just have to 'deal with it' ; finally for three days on the trot a warden spent between two and three hours a day cutting back shrubs etc, within 15ft of our pitch, without even a hint of an apology for the considerable noise and smell. Whilst we realise it has to be done, it could have surely been done over the course of a few tenants, we were only there for 5 days.
The final nail in the site's coffin was on our last night when extremely loud music kept me, and several others I met whilst out investigating, awake until 2am. It turns out Longleat now have a marquee they hire out for parties and the like. The erratic nature of these events mean you cannot book around them, so we will instead choose to stay elsewhere.
Absolutely gorgeous, what a fantastic caravan site. We were so impressed with the layout, facilities, location and the positive attitude of the wardens that we left wishing that we were staying longer.
If you get a chance to visit Longleat, and it is definitely worth visiting, you will have a wonderful experience of how a caravan park should be.
Quality, quality in abundance, it does what is says on the tin, to coin a phrase.
The chippie van was there when we arrived and worth trying, just ask about the glenlivet Whiskey flavoured battered Haggis suppers.
Longleat safari park surrounds the caravan park and the noise of the animals is a lovely rare opportunity to wake up to.
We would highly recommend a visit to longleat, check out the discount vouchers and Tesco club card points get you access for £30 for a family pass. Loads to do.
This is a great site, in meandering gorgeous grounds, and even when packed seems spacious and calm. We missed the school holidays but it was a weekend and lots of kids and dogs. But all intermingled well, Also a large play area.
Facilities are the best, plenty of showers, toilets and cubicles, and even a family room for inclement weather.
Longleat itself is terrific and very good value (although we didn't have any kids to pay for). Got a day ticket for £25 that allowed us to go to all the attractions safari and house as many times as we liked on that day, and there are so many we couldn't fit them all in. All the animals seem so well looked after and the staff so helpful and accommodating. The cafes in the gardens and house are good value.
We opted to take the safari double decker bus for extra £4. This well worth it, as you get guided informative and wiity tour. Also it seems the rangers tell the guide where the best spots for viewing are.
Beware' don't take a motorhome through the monkey enclosure (you can avoid this bit). From the top of the bus we could see some cars being ripped to pieces, how we all laughed, ashamed to say. Oh, and find your way to the central tower of the maze, then just stand and watch the comedy unfold before you.
