 What a lovely little site! This was our first time camping, we booked short notice and after staying here we are hooked. The owners are really nice, the site is lovely and clean, the children loved the animals (and so did we), they especially liked feeding Molly the pig and collecting eggs from the chickens.It was lovely to be woken up by the cows mooing in the next field. The toilets and showers are lovely and clean. It was great to be able to buy some wood and use one of Alans fires and have a campfire, toasted marshmallows, yum! When we left here we went to a much larger site as we had already booked it, and all four of us wished we had stayed at Midbrooks.

First time camping so not sure what to expect as we have 2 young children under 6. Midbrooks is a fantastic & idylic part of the country for first time or experienced campers. Alan and Sue are perfect hosts who were keen to involve the children in the feeding of the farm animals, especially Molly the pig, this was a highlight of my children's first time camping experience. The main reason for going was to visit Longleat which is only 10 miles away, so perfect location. The campsite itself is very clean and has all the amenities you would want, shower, drinking water, WC etc. Everyone enjoyed themselves and Midbrooks has given me and my family the camping bug. We hope to return next year as there is so much to do, I just hope it's not full when we come to book. We will certainly recommend this site to our family and friends.

Really peaceful campsite perfect for familys. Owners, Alan & Sue, really friendly, and the children loved helping to feed the pigs and collect eggs from the chickens. One shower and one toilet on site (an extra loo would be useful) absolutely spotless. Only 20 minutes from Longleat.
Highly recommend this site.

We didn't want to tell anyone about this site because it is too good a secret, but we promised Alan and Sue that we would leave some feedback.
For a family camping break it doesn't get much better than this little corner of wiltshire. Relaxing, fun and enjoyable. Alan was a bigger kid than our three girls! and Sue is so helpful. 10/10 we will be back

Don't go it's truly grim - grumpy owners, awful site - do your self a favour and give it a miss! Honestly it's awfully and truly terrible!
Okay - it's not. it's a little bit of heaven - so much so that we stayed there I think 5 times last year and just went there last weekend. It's as far removed from day to day life as you could wish. Kids will love it (most if you can weedle them from the TV) - the sky is HUGE, the Stars twinkle and your Camp Fire warms you on the coldest of nights.
Lovely walks if you buy a Land Ranger Map - the Long Arms ( Local Family Name) about 15 minutes stroll is very nice Pub. Pop into St Mary's Church - it's a cracker - buy the local village guide book inside; it provides a insiders view of the Village.
Keeble Airfield is very close - watch Gilders soaring most days - there's a Vintage Fly In the last Bank Holiday in May .
Alan and Sue the owners - excellent hosts. Any Man who collects old Triumphs and Bubble Cars/Land Rovers gets my Vote - any Women who would put up with it even more so.
5 Stars - just don't tell anyone. Pleeeaase!

This is a beautiful tranquil site about a mile from the local village, with fantastic views. We camped here just before Easter and had the site to ourselves. At £7/ night for a family of four this was good value. The facilities were clean and well kept, and there was plenty of hot water. We were made very welcome, especially the children - they were invited to bottle-feed the lambs each morning and evening and collect the eggs from the hen-house. This was the highlight of the holiday for them! The weather was freezing cold, but we were able to keep warm around our camp fire. We bought a barrowful of logs for £5 and this was enough for an evening and a breakfast fire as well (essential during heavy frost!).
We visited Longleat, which is about 15-20 minutes drive.

A peaceful, tranquil site at the end of a long lane which was just perfect for our first weekend of family camping. We came with our 3 children (5 and under) and met up with two other families. The owners kindly put us together and since the site was not too busy we had no other neighbours.
The owners were very friendly and took the time to talk to all of us, especially the children. The children loved the whole experience and had the space to run around, play football, chuck balls all in total safety as well as having the opportunity to hand feed the tame lambs, collect eggs literally from under the hens and provide Molly the pig with her daily rations.
The facilities were simple - an outdoor sink with hot water for washing up, one toilet and one shower but all were kept very clean. Our search for a site was lead by a desire to have a camp fire which the owners allowed - lifting and replacing the turf after the fire. A wheelbarrow of logs cost £5 and kept us going for the evening.
This site was perfect as a place to go to where you are made to feel very welcome and feel more down to earth. The pub in the village of Steeple Ashton (The Long Arms) was 1 mile from the campsite and was very smart but welcomed the 7 children and gave us a quick turnaround for an evening meal. A pleasant stroll along the Kennet and Avon Canal from Semmington gave the children the chance to see boats using the locks and an examination of one of the local White Horses completed our weekend. The weekend was more about camping than activities and Midbrooks was a fantastic, welcoming site for that.

We have just returned from this campsite having spent the Bank Holiday weekend there. We had a fabulous time and would thoroughly recommend it. We went with 2 other families and had a total of 7 children ranging from 20 months to 7 years old. It was a very safe, small and friendly site set in the most beautiful, peaceful countryside. The owners were wonderful and very friendly. The freshly laid eggs were a real hit with the children's breakfast (not to mention the parents!). Feeding the pet lambs, Molly the pig and the chickens was the highlight of my 5 year-old's weekend! Whereas my 7-year old son had a great time helping prepare the camp fire each night (logs available by the barrow load). There was a flushing toilet and hot shower, both kept very clean. The owners also had a number of adult and children's bikes available for hire (superb countryside for cycling around) and they even had a summer house and deck area where you could enjoy home-made cream teas.
We had tea in the local pub on Sunday night - it was very reasonably priced and they were very happy to cater for a large party with children. The food was very good.
A real gem of a camp site

This is our new favourite camp site! First place we've found that not only allows you to have camp fires, but will sell you firewood too. We were lucky enough to stay when the camp site was relatively quiet, so the single loo and shower room were not a problem, in excellent order, and spotless. Hosts are the friendliest you will find anywhere, and all the farm animals around the site make it really special. The local village is tiny but very picturesque with an excellent gastro-pub. With Bradford-on-avon 20 mins drive away, and Bath 45 mins, there is plenty to do for a longer stay. This site is highly recommended.

We took the family to Longleat for the weekend and found this site from the ukcampsite website. A small site with about room for 15 tents with only some flat pitches, there is also only one toilet, one shower and one sink so you may have to wait for amenities. That said, this is still a fantastic site. The site has several animals for the kids to feed including rabbits, ducks, chickens, pigs, goats and sheep. The views are beautiful across the fields with roaming cattle right next to you. The owners are the most friendliest I've met, they sell fresh eggs on site and when my little boy wanted just one for breakfast, he was given one as a gift! They allow the lighting of campfires with the turf lifted and sell a wheelbarrow of firewood for £4 which was great fun and the best thing? Pitches were £4 per tent per night!!

This is a small site which is off of the beaten track and was very quiet on the weekend that we visited. The facilities are simple but clean & tidy
The owners were around most of the time and were very pleasant. There are a number of animals around - a pig, some goats & a couple of dogs when we visited.
Although we only had a very brief stay, I would definitely recommend this site to people who want something small and rural.
