 This campsite could be amazing but some things really let it down. There was a general air of neglect, piles of random old bits of scrap sitting around.
The road noise from the Tagglemead and Cricket fields is totally horrendous and does not stop all night. I agree with another poster who said the noise in these fields is so bad they shouldn't be used for camping.
The showers were good, despite having to pay extra for them, but the toilets are far from adequate. The portacabin in the Tagglemead field was grim, full of flies and huge spiderwebs as well as being unclean.
The 3 other toilets near the main house were a bit better but there are nowhere near enough facilities for the number of campers - eg only 2 washing up sinks with hot water for dishes.
We barely saw the owners but when we did they were pretty grumpy.
The river was nice and really was the saving grace (but check water quality reports before swimming).

The camping fields are flat and grassy and they're all bordered by watercourses. The ground wasn't boggy and midges weren't a problem (April), but we were aware of needing to watch young children to make sure they didn't find their way into the water.
The local information available in the wash block is helpful.
Highly recommend the (raw) burgers, made from the farm's own beef. Book ahead though because they get taken out of the freezer to order, and are only on sale in the afternoon.
3 toilets for the main field - well kept, soap and cold water for handwashing.
2 showers, 3 vanity sinks and 2 washing up sinks for the main field - good hot water. The showers take 50p coins. This is all in a characterful old cowshed.
The septic tank is next to the WW2 pill box in the main field, and has no signage, so we unintentionally pitched very close to it.
The kids liked playing on the pill box.
Fires are permitted in raised pits, which are available to hire for a flat fee of £10.
The seemed to be a small freezer available at reception for ice blocks only, but we didn't use it.
The A366 is closer than would be ideal, and is slightly above the campsite so there is a bit of road noise for much of the day. It wasn't intrusive as such, but it did feel a bit less bucolic because of it.
River swimming is advertised; this is at Farleigh and District Swimming Club which is a 10 minute walk down the river towards the village. Wessex Water monitor the bathing water quality.
There are several large ducks that roam the campsite, so dogs need to be kept under control.

I booked this campsite for two nights and paid on the internet two weeks before I got there. The read up on this place makes it look 5*.
On the sites map it shows camping fields with fancy names. Two areas with showers/toilets. On the day I got there the staff were more interested in serving scones and tea than seeing to me. I was not shown where things were the girls just pointed.
The toilets here look like something from 1960. The showers do not have a proper drain for the water. They are in an old cow shed, and you stand on cobbles as the waste water runs out under the door into a gutter.
So I thought maybe the other showers toilet further down the cricket ground field would be better. This was a very old broken down portakabin with the door locked.
I was charged £18 a night for one person and a small tent. I left after one night. I stay in about 15+ campsites a year and most of them are £10 or £12 a night, and they are 10 times better than Stowford farm camping.
This place is close to the road, has level fields, but it needs a brand new toilet and shower block building where the broken down locked up portakabin currently is.
Charging £18 a night for one person and a small tent is daylight robbery.

One of my favourite places to go, unwind, relax and enjoy the area. Easy to book in, just go to the big farmhouse and drive to whatever pitch you fancy. Lots of EHUs available and several water points.
You can park under the trees along the river in the main field, or the one alongside it, in the summer, Tagglemead is also open, no EHUs there but beautiful riverside to pitch next to. A short walk along is the oldest wild swimming club (free for campers) where you can picnic, paddle or swim up the river.
It has steps and a handrail for easy access and a lovely weir for background effect. Then stroll back, shower in the converted style (50p, lots of hot water) and relax.
They do a fabulous cream tea between 2 and 6pm, all home cooked and the best scones ever, all beautifully presented. You may be accompanied by resident ducks and chickens pecking around as well. At weekends a pizza van is set up. Can also buy locally made breakfast packs to cook on site.
Firepits and wood are available at a reasonable price. It's very laid back! Lots of local places to visit a short drive away. Staff are always cheery and welcoming.
I don't camp with children there but plenty do and they seem to enjoy it, paddling in the river or bringing an inflatable as partner the river allows canoes etc but not where the swimming most takes place.

Love this place! Stowford is right on the river and you can pitch next to it to watch it go by. Quirky place, beautiful old farmhouse to check in, they also do a fabulous cream tea (not to be missed). Showers are a converted cow shed, lots of hot water as well as hot water sinks
Toilets are close by, old but it fits the style. Pitch basically where you fancy, lots of EHUs and several water points. Go for a walk along the river to the oldest river swimming club and take a dip. It's magic! It's the main reason I go there, for the peace and the river/wildlife.
Beautiful sunsets. Camp fires permitted. Pizza hut available at weekends, also breakfast boxes (all local and excellent) available daily as well as fresh milk.
Beautiful to just chill, sit and read, walk and swim!
Kids do seem to make their own fun, would like to see a few swings or small play area.
Also to be able to hire a kyack or small canoe would be the icing on the beautiful cake!

Exquisite gem of a site. Set in beautiful surroundings of an Old Manor House. Although near a main road, it is lovely & peaceful.
The site is full of character & even has an old pillbox in the main field.
The river running through the site is another lovely attraction.
This was our 2nd visit to this site & we will be back again at some point.

This is my go to campsite ad I'm local to the area. Its set over 3 areas, 2 have some EHUs and one is elec free. The sites are adjacent to the river Frome which is brilliant for having a paddle or a dip (I do). BBQ pits are available for hire and logs for sale.
Cream teas available in the Manor House and weekends have a coffee car and a pizza van. Shower block is a converted cattle shed, showers work well with 50p. Washing up next to the showers. Toilets across the way, basic but clean and well stocked.
Non elec is called Tagglemead and you can sit by the river, catch ducks floating past, or the occasional swimmer! Walk on a bit and the farleigh swimming club is next field.
A beautiful place for a dunk and relaxing swim or paddle.
Town is a few mins drive away or pop over to Tuckers Grave pub (5 mins drive) for some lush cider and live music in their barn (also does a good meal).
Never feels crowded and always is my happy place! Non elec or elec pitch cheap and easy to book online.
Good base for exploring the area and going back to some perfect relaxing camping!

If you enjoy rustic charm this site is absolutely for you. Basic facilities to be found in medieval out houses. 3 toilets in one and 2 shower stalls (50p for piping hot water) 3 hand wash basins and 2 washing up sinks in a refurbished medieval barn. No heating so in Sept somewhat chilly.
Grass was cut short and camping area flat. Very picturesque with river running through which can be swum in if brave enough. Handy location for Longleat and several NT properties and gardens.
Very reasonably priced I thought, at £72 for two people in a tent for 3 nights. I would definitely book again but then I did like the rustic, basic aspect of the site maybe not every bodies cup of tea though, talking of tea the farm sells a fantastic cream tea for £6. Two scones or £4 for one. Home made with their own cream from Jersey cows. One drawback was traffic noise, .
A fairly busy road runs along the camp site. But even so my sister and I LOVED it.

Ideal site for families. Enjoyed our stay, lovely being close to the river.
Short drive from Kennet and Avon Canal, Avoncliffe Aquaduct, Caen hill flight and Bath.
However, the "Sanitary Waste" is in the middle of the field, with a sharp rusty manhole cover and children were playing around it. Dangerous and un-sanitary. Time for a modern update, I feel!

A beautiful setting. Unfortunately the weather was poor so we weren't able to make the most of the walking and swimming opportunities or the pizza oven,
But will definitely visit again. Would have given a better value for money score if the showers were free.
