 Just arrived home from a great weekend at Blackland lakes. Arrived Friday lunchtime and had the pick of the field which was very flat and the grass was nice and short. The paddock was close to all the facilities and we were next to the children's play park which was nice and safe. The shower and toilet block was OK but not brilliant.
Overall the site was peaceful and very safe for children the only downside is if you don't have a fridge to keep milk and butter etc the shop didn't open until 9am which is quite late if you are an early riser, but we look forward to using this site again.

Just returned from here. Not impressed at all with the shower blocks and toilets. They seemed very grotty and out dated. We paid for a family of 4 £82.00 for 3 nights. Very expensive for the facilities on offer. Staff were very friendly, site was safe for the children. We have been to lots of sites last year and the facilities that Blackland offered were nothing compared to some of our previous sites for less money. We would go back to Blackland if the price reflected its facilities

We have just spent a few nights here as part of a UKCS meet. We were on the rally field which was very muddy when we arrived even 4x4s were struggling. We couldn't set up on our allocated pitch as the pitches are so close together and due to the mud another unit had needed to pitch further over, fortunately we had a long hook up lead so we were ok. The toilet blocks were clean and heated. There is a very good dog walk.
The main downside is the cost of the site and the lack of organisation by the site staff. Despite being told there was a flat UK CS rally rate we were still charged the increased EHU charge and the member of staff who booked me in didn't seem to know about the rate we were to be charged.

Again another great visit to this fantastic site.
The site is a lovely clean quiet and secluded site with excellent security so your kids can wander around without having to worry.
The tent pitches are very level the grass is nice and short and the paddocks dry and drain well even after the torrential rain we had.
The staff are very helpful and friendly and on hand even at night if needs be by radio points dotted around the site.The shop is well equiped freezer block exchange service is available and free.
Showers are also free and there is plenty of hot water.
Yes the site is on the expensive site but you get what you pay for visit you wont regret it.

May bank holiday found us and another family here. Couldn't get on the site we wanted. The reason for the visit was to go to Longleat which was 45mins away. Camp field was very flat and we were near the play area which was great for keeping an eye on the children. Small walk / trail around perimeter of field. Two lakes for fishing and a bird hide near a duck pool. Very basic shop on site. No shops or pubs within easy walking distance. Calne had very little to offer. Showers were kept clean but the block is uni-sex! Cost approx £23 a night for tent two adults and two children with car. Premimum for bank holiday. Hook ups available at extra cost.

This is not a good campsite if you like somewhere peaceful. Although the staff were helpful and friendly, they tried to cram as many people in as possible (although it was bank holiday). If you don't want an electrical hook up, you can't go next to a hedge/border, you are just stuck in the middle of the field.
I personally would say that this is a site for big groups, who want to meet up and don't mind being on top of each other.
The toilet block was only superficially clean, and the showers didn't have a mop or bucket, so the floor was always very wet.
There is a small road running through the site which is good for children to cycle, but the campsite staff tend to keep driving around in a noisy tractor.
Not a tranquil and peaceful haven that their leaflet tries to describe, and not much sight of nature, for a nature reserve!
But if you like large sites with plenty going on, with friendly staff, then this is the site for you!

Well we arrived at the site with the distint impression from the website listing that there was more on this site than there is available for public use!!
The swimming pool on site is actually a club membership only (available at extra cost if you stay over 5 days). They do have a childrens playground with some nice equipment however for the size of the site if it fills up will be hardly enough. The laundrey room has one washing machine and tumble dryer and when your thinking in terms of a site with 180 pitches is not enough. The site was quite empty when we were there for our two days and we had trouble getting one load of washing done.
However all this said the staff were friendly and it was quite central to quite a few visiting places so if your only stopping for a short stay it would be ok. But I don't think we will be going again.

Nice site but pricey based on cleanliness of toilets/showers/washing up sinks. Dark, dingy and dirty facilitites. Shame as rest of site lovely. There is no way the loos and showers are regularly cleaned. Owners need to address this based on
high pitch prices. Use some of the overpricing to pay a cleaner - everyday. It really lets place down to have pooh encrusted dirty smelly loos and filthy showers that only dribble out water - like a dripping tap.
Little bit of surprise to find that loos and showers were unisex and that only sinks are separate, so you pooh, wee and shower together but clean your teeth as ladies and gents !
They neglect to mention this gem
in the brochure so make sure your dressed appropriately when leaving shower, Also does this account for state and smell of loos ? Sorry guys but ladies loos just aren't usually that bad.
Bird pooh on washing up sinks. Come on owners you've got a cracking site just clean it !
Staff forgot to issue us PIN No for barrier, so had a traffic jam when we left site.
Brochure says no all male parties, this is not true, there were, due to fishing lakes and fishing weekends with drinking and foul language. One guy even fell over his tent drunk in a star shape formation! Highly entertaining except for our children and others watching. Perhaps male fishing parties could be pitched away from families ?
Very entertaining few days but wont return saddly unless we read that cleanliness has improved. So lots of foul language near u

Very "relaxed rules" and family friendly campsite.
Unfortunatly this has lead to a great deal of child noise, activity, ball games (several of which struck our camper van), dogs running around loose and a few obnoxious people. If you want a quiet weekend go elsewhere.
The staff were friendly - without actually being very helpful. We ended up parked in a field of noisy kids after specifically asking for a quiet pitch. The serviced pitch field was empty.
Facilities are only superficially cleaned, everything above eye level has seen any water for years. One toilet I visited had excrement on it's seat for the whole weekend. Showers are blocked up by limescale any barely more than a dribble.
The ponds are overfished and the carp are very challenging, plenty of easy bream to be had.
Overall somewhat expensive for the standard of facilities and clenliness.

Second time here - just for a night this time. Site still great with plenty of ducks to look at! I liked the division of the showers into hot and cooler - I had a cooler one and it was still really hot!
This site still seems really relaxed so I would recommend it to anyone!
