 We stayed at Blacklands for about 8 weekends last year, and I must admit now that it is only 5 miles from my home, so with a young family it gave us a break away. But not to far in case on an emergency !
However if your coming from further away, it is perfectly located for visiting Bath, Avebury, Stonehenge etc. Even Longleat is only an hour away.
We find the site excellent for a short break, lovely sized pitches, plently of hook-ups for these who need, and water pipes with in a couple on mins walk.
The site is split into a few paddocks, and mixing caravans, motorhomes and tents together, but it works and makes for a lovely atmosphere.
If your looking for something loud and lively, this isn't for you. It's great for families, as there is a small play area, woodland walking area (also good for dogs), and a small shop which sells the essentials.
The site owners are very helpful, and whilst the toilets / wash areas are not the most modern, they are generally quite clean. The showers can go a bit cold when its busy !
The only point I would add, is if you have small children, you need to keep an eye on them, as there are lovely fishing lakes (which I believe are well stocked), but these are not fenced off. And my kids were very fascinated by them.

Visited for two nights as a base for visiting Avebury. Very few facilities were open, the drinking water standpipes were switched off. Swimming pool is not open to visitors staying less than a week. Toilets /washrooms were in very poor condition, on the first day, slightly better the second day. Seems to be more of a permanent residents park in the winter months. Despite notices to the contrary, many residents were letting their dogs roam free. At £32 for two nights, this was bad value.

Wanted a site near to Avebury and found Blackland lakes. A lovely site and had a good choice of where to park. They have a field which is away from the children's play area where we stayed. The site was not over crowded and even if you are not into fishing, walking around the lakes was lovely and peaceful.
The toilet were very clean and well stocked and the shower's are the best I have seen at a campsite, very powerful. They even had facilities to use a hair dryer in the laundry room. We stayed for two nights at a very reasonable cost of £30.00, not bad for high season. Some of the showers were broken but they soon had plumbers into repair them.
I would highly recommend this site for families as well as couple's wanting to relax and even if you are not into fishing the surroundings are beautiful.
The campsite shop was well stocked and staff very friendly. I hope to visit again next year.

Had two nights on this site back in May 2010 with borrowed kit, and enjoyed it enough that we went and got our own kit. This return trip (3 nights over a weekend) was to christen our stuff ready for another trip elsewhere in September.
We found the site to be perfectly adequate for our needs as a family with two small children. It is a big site and on the Saturday night it was getting towards full in terms of pitches taken up. However despite that, there seemed to be no pressure on the larger facilities block nearest us - no waiting for showers, toilets or washing up sinks. The water temperature on the showers can be 'interesting' as previously stated - I think if the washing up sinks are being filled it takes the hot water away from the showers as the pressure drops and they go cold. So showering outside meal times is probably wise! Seemed reasonably clean given the traffic levels although perhaps the higher parts of the building could do with some cobweb removal - didn't bother us as we expect some interaction with nature when camping!
Shop/office hours can be a bit erratic but if arriving when closed for lunch/evening there is usually a mobile number on the door to phone, and they will direct you to a numbered field to pitch in. Staff were very pleasant and helpful, providing directions to shops etc. Sainsbury's in Calne is good for stocking up beyond the basics in the camp shop. Freezer blocks can be frozen in the shop freezer for 10p per block.
Be slightly wary of pitching on the right hand side of field 6 (as you drive in) as the far end of this backs on to the fishing lake. It took us a while to work out what the alarm clock style bleeps were in the middle of the first night - its the rod alarms used by overnight fishermen! (The owl 'fight' in the tree above us whilst equally sleep disturbing was at least worth being woken for!).
This time we were in field 9 which is nearer the playground which suited us with the kids as we could sit by the tent and still see them. Playground is showing a few signs of age but still seems safe enough. Our kids managed to entertain themselves with others from nearby tents for the weekend.
In general we enjoyed the site - there are a few little detail things that are showing a bit of wear and maybe should be on this winters maintenance list but overall it was fine for us (although as yet we've nothing to compare it to)

We have just returned from a long weekend at this site.We found it to be well managed spacious and above all clean. The pitches were all spread out we had tons of room with the bous of the park too.
I t was peaceful, tranquil and relaxing, the fishing was fab. Even for Grandad whom came to visit us at the site for a day and enjoyed his day by the lake.
A nice site and well run,showers were ok but ran a little cold, washing up was ok too, as was the walk to the loo.
We will be going back soon but have the rest of the uk to see too.
Well done Blacklands you have a fab site.

Visited Blackland Lakes for a weekend as a trial run for our main camping holiday in September. Wanted to go somewhere not too far from home (1.5 hours) so would could test all our new equipment.
Site location was great for local attractions; we managed to get loads done in a weekend (much more that we had planned). The site itself was nice with a very small shop (supermarket was short drive away so we used that).
The toilet block near our field (block 2 I think they refer to it as) was ok but it felt like it could do with a really good clean – I think all the wood made it feel a bit unclean. The water temperature was ok although sometimes went a bit cold which is not ideal when trying to shower a little person that doesn’t really like showers! There is a mother and baby / disabled room but when I looked in it looked quite dark and dirty so we didn’t use this.
The person on reception was very friendly and the Blackland Lakes website was very useful. Managed to find out about local attractions before we left so we could plan our time at the site. They also listed take away places that delivery – we didn’t make use of this but is the kind of thing that would be really helpful if you were staying for longer.
Would consider going back to the site if we were going to the area but think the toilet block needs to be looked at before we do!

We stayed here in June for 2 nights, arriving late on the Friday night, we went to check in on the Saturday morning but had to wait an hour for someone to open the Reception, there was a sign on the door 'back in 10 minutes' to be told we could park anywhere.
We had a look around but the site was fairly full so stayed on the late arrivals area for the weekend. The showers and toilets were very basic, but adequate. The site was well maintained and everyone seemed very friendly.

Our amenity buildings are not new but are completely functional and we do our best to maintain high levels of cleanliness, but at a very busy period the standard may have fallen below our usual level, for which we apologise.
At times of high demand, the water pressure can drop which can affect the showers on a temporary basis. We are constantly seeking to improve our facilities and our main shower building has undergone a thorough refurbishment in the Spring of this year.
In the current season, 72% of our visitors are either returning to us or are recommended by a friend.

I spent a weekend here at Blacklands lakes from 2. 7. 10 to 4. 7. 10 in my campervan and thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.
The staff were very easy going and friendly, although we had an allocated spot we could basically pitch up anywhere we wanted all with electric hook ups.
The whole area is beautifully green with shady trees, the 3 lakes and a peaceful air to the place.
An on site shop provides all the basics (a bit pricey though!) and Calne is a 5 min drive up the road should you need to re-stock.
We ordered an Indian Take-away the first night we stayed, they'll deliver to the gate but the time limit is set to 11pm (very nice it was too !)
Plenty of fresh water and waste services close by. The shower / toilet block nearest the main entrance was Ok and did what it says on the tin, but could have been better cared for and serviced more frequently, but this didn't spoil my visit.
There is also a large undercover BBQ / party area near on of the lakes by area 9 that would be great for a large group staying there to get together.
Recommended in my opinion and would go there again.

We have just returned from a long weekend here and were a little disappointed.
The facilities were there as described but in poor condition and not cleaned. The toilets and shower blocks were cold, damp and generally unkept. There were several broken toilet seats most of the cubicles had no paper, several of the doors did not close (they had warped) had no lock and or were missing handles.
The showers were average the pumps and thermostats were not working too well meaning we had to endure hot then freezing water temperatures. Worst of all they were not washed or mopped once in 4 days despite cleaning equipment being 'on show' so by the end of our stay the floors were covered in mud (local fisherman also use it as there are several lakes) and there was loo paper pulp everywhere. The toilets and showers are also not a place to go if you don't like spiders there were some monsters living in webs that had been there for what looked like years!
I know the above sounds bad and I hope it is an isolated lapse of standards due to lack of staff supervision or maybe because its the end of the season, as overall the site is peaceful and very attractive. Its in a great location and we can recommend the Bengal curry house near Sainsbury's in the town.
