 We arrived when it was sunny, the park is large and well looked after. The office and first toilet block look good and the staff friendly.
We were given paddock 9 which was not too far from the second toilet block. A clean water tap and a dirty water drain are close by. The ground was covered in low cut grass and well looked after.
We had an electric point ( plenty on offer at this site)
The second toilet block was big and had a gents /ladies section but the showers are shared. The only problem with this block was that every where you looked there was spiders / moths.
This is due to the construction of the toilet block (logs) The showers are ok and have Hot and I mean HOT water. The showers are lacking curtains so watch your shoes as you take a shower! The tiles on the floor are rigged, which stops you from slipping, but also collect water. The owners provide a blade to get rid off the water but it still collects, and not everyone cleans up!
The toilets are the same with paper all over the floor, yet again caused by careless punters. Some light bulbs need replacing as it can be dark at night.
All in all a good site that needs a little tender care to make it more comfortable, a good shop would be most welcome too as you need a car to get into Calne.
In Calne you have Chinese / Indian / Italian restaurants. A Sainsburys / Co-op shops.
The camp site is in ideal position to visit Wiltshire.

It could be a good camping, but it was too crowded and full of families and groups who often didn't respect normal rules: children were impolite and noisy and pitches have no great space each other. During the evening a large group of 20 and more people played drums and danced around the fire.
Bathrooms were good, but often quite dirty. The taps which you have to keep pressed down for washing yourself. Some showers were uncomfortable too, because hot temperature of water wasn't adjustable and they could work only pulling a rope outside the shower. Maybe other showers' block was better, I don't know.
Pitches have good ground, but it isn't flat.
We spent there eight nights and also my children couldn't stand the noise of the other children!

We stayed here for two nights to try out our newer tent as it's fairly local. It was a lovely site but the toilets and showers were a real let down. They weren't clean at all, my wife said she felt dirtier after having a shower than before!
The dirt just seemed to get moved along the floor rather than cleaned up. Some of the toilets had broken seats. The toilet/shower block was very dark inside even in the day time and although the showers were hot there was no temp control so not great with children.
We had a large pitch and it was very narrow, our tent filled it and we were lucky it was friends staying in the next pitch as our guy ropes were on their pitch.
Playground was good for older kids but not toddlers. The paddock we stayed in was very good for the kids as they could run around with us watching and it was very safe for them.
Overall a lovely site but the facilities really let it down, we wouldn't go there again.

I've stayed here many times with different friends and also by myself with a solo tent.
Although I normally prefer small sites which are less commercialised, I've always found quite secluded areas to pitch even when there have been large groups there such as the Caravan Club.
My friends and I are walkers and one of the most important things to me/us is being able to have hot water showers, all times both daytime and evening which, of course, has always been the case here and for which there is no extra charge or meter.
As the site is a fair way from the nearest store, the reception sells basics (indeed essentials!) including gaz and matches, as well as teabags, some tinned and packet foods, and so forth.
Driving into and around the site and parking-up has never been a problem and it's quite flat all around the site. Even when it's been very wet weather I've never found it water-logged.
I've always found the staff polite and helpful and they've always managed to fit me in whether in the peak season or other times including the odd occasion in the winter!
Location-wise, it's great being quite close to Avebury, Marlebough, Devizes and the Vale of Pewsey. Great for walks, great for crop circles and discovering all the delights Wiltshire has to offer.
I like to return once, sometimes twice a year!

I appreciate our visit was over Bank Holiday Weekend - a busy time - but I can only agree on the whole with previous reviewers - that the site has some lovely features but could just do with being cleaner and more maintained all round.
Many people clearly had no idea what the mop in the shower block was for and I had to distract my children from reading the rather lewd graffiti on toilet walls!
The setting was nice - pretty fishing lakes - although we inevitably got rather muddy. Because our pitch was near the paddock entrance our car got completely splatted with mud from other drivers zooming past.
Slightly too far to walk into Calne, but good town-centre Sainsbury's and market there. Easy site to find - well-signposted. Disappointed that we couldn't use Leisure Centre - couldn't even pay a visitor's rate or buy a temporary membership, so drove to Calne Community Swimming Pool instead.

We have now used this camp site a few times and have found it overall, great value for money.
The facilities are all good. Plenty of toilets and showers within a log cabin style centre. There is adequate washing up areas and are well lit.
There is a large children's area and it's possible to pitch close to this, making it great for the kids.
The pitches themselves are nice and flat, and cared for.
There are also a couple of fishing lakes with ducks for the kids to feed.
So, overall, a very good site, with good facilities and welcoming atmosphere.
Would definitely recommend for value for money!

Very overpriced for the state of the facilities. I wouldn't recommend it if you have children. We have stayed on this campsite for several years now and we are on first name terms with the huge ugly spiders that lurk in the grubby shower block, which very often doesn't have any hot water. Obviously the place hasn't had a refurb. Or deep clean since we started coming, hence this year we have found another cheaper and cleaner site in the area to stay on. The camp fields are lovely, but all the facilities including the hook-ups for the electric leave a lot to be desired.

Booked this site for it's location, and for that reason it was a good site. However, the shower and toilet facilities are not very good. I don't think if we had children with us I would have been very keen to use the showers, there is no temp control and neither toilets or showers were kept very clean, they are also unisex which you don't know until you go in. I feel this was where the site let itself down the most.
The lakes were really just large ponds, and at weekends were quite busy. Even though on our booking form it gave a pitch number, we were told to pitch wherever we liked, a lot of pitches had been reserved though and are quite varying in size. Overall, expensive for the facilities.

Stayed here for just one night with three of my boys (11, 5 & 2) in order to test out our first family tent. We only live around the corner (literally)so we know the site well. We were located adjacent to a large field of cows and that was the only noise we heard during the late evening and night.
Didn't see any of the staff during our stay, but then we weren't around for long. Sadly the showers were not working properly while we were there and a cold wash just didn't seem like a good idea. They are also not quite as clean as I would have liked, perhaps a little updating would be an idea.
A very nicely maintained site otherwise with plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. With Calne itself just a mile or so away, it is close to local shops (inc Sainsbury's) and there are some very nice pubs nearby, but do go into town for those. Ideally placed for the Cherhill White Horse and Avebury stones, it is a nice base and a pleasant friendly site.
It was our first camping trip (My wife was at home with our 7wk old who doesn't sleep through the night yet and we were being considerate) and the kids and I are definitely hooked.
Regrettably I don't think we will go back, but only because it is so close to home and we want to explore further afield.

We booked in for 2 nights over the Easter weekend and were blessed with beautiful weather.
We arrived at noon and checked in at reception - staff were very friendly and helpful - we were given a map advising we could pitch anywhere and advised the best paddocks with spaces.
Having 3 young children with us, we opted for the paddock next to the play area - there was masses of space, although the family next to us had one caravan and one tent but had awkwardly set up cutting off two electric hook up points in addition to the two they were using. Not a major problem however, as there were still several EHU points free without us having to pitch too close to anyone else.
The site is beautiful - several small fishing lakes which seemed to be popular, although I understand there were more tiddlers than anything to brag about! There is a trail around the site which is perfect for a stroll or a jog and gives you the opportunity to view the different areas. Grass was lush and green and relatively short, although it will need a mow again very soon. Rubbish was emptied regularly and there were dog foul bins aplenty.
The children's play area was a good size with lots for young and older children to do. From our tent we had a perfect view which meant we could let the kids off the leash a bit without worrying.
The facilities weren't brilliant, but we have seen worse! The wooden block near to the lakes was old and very spidery (HUGE beasts!), and there was a bit of a problem with blocked loos throughout the stay. The second block which is brick built and next to the main entrance fared a bit better, but seemed to be undergoing some sort of maintenance and was not really accessible whenever we went there.
There is a small shop on site, stocking larder and camping accessories and the coldest fridge of alcohol! Prices were extremely reasonable - no major mark ups on any item.
We spent a bit of time in nearby Devizes, which is a beautiful market town - a must see is Caen Locks - a chain of many locks taking you down a steep hill and quite a spectacular sight.
I would definitely recommend this site and we will return there again I am sure.
