Excellent location

This is a part of the world that we visit quite often, but only the 2nd time we've stayed at the site (first time 20÷ years ago!). Stayed for 4 days mid week and the site was nice and quite, not sure if it would be the same during the school holidays though! Staff were very friendly and helpful and are keeping the site spotless. The facilities are very clean and perfectly fine, though they are getting a little tired, though again to reiterate, spotless and perfectly usable. So not an issue really. The access to the wildlife park is great, we found a drive through first thing in the morning, shortly after opening, the back to the site for lunch and sort the dogs out. Followed by a walk round the rest during the afternoon. We found that one day was fine for us, but you might want two if you have kids in tow! Loads to do and see in the area, which would take forever to list here! Didn't try out any of the local eateries or pubs though. The free WiFi isn't the best, but it does the job, would prefer the better paid service, but not available (yet???), Overall a great stay and would definitely use again!

A great site spoilt by the Longleat safari park company.

The site is typical good caravan club standards but is getting a little tired now and ready for a refurb. The staff are helpful and friendly. Last time I stayed at this site was many years ago when the old Lord Bath was alive, you were then able to go for lovely evening walks around the grounds and get a club discount for the day. Sadly the whole Longleat park is now under the control of a management company. It is impossible to get anywhere near the grounds without paying the very expensive ticket, my daughter paid over a £100 for 2 adult tickets. The whole reason for me attending the site was to relive the great time I had years ago, sadly I shall not be returning.

Disappointed

Having been several times it is sometime since last visit. Welcome and reception very good. Facilities although clean seem “very tired.” Problems with wi-Fi prevented online purchase of tickets for the Park. Could not purchase discounted tickets at Park gate or Site reception. However as a goodwill gesture Longleat gave a limited Discount by way of vouchers. If you are not careful Longleat can be a very expensive outing. To be sure of minimising problems book Park tickets in advance from home. Also the Park have restricted members from walking through to nearby facilities without paying entry fee each time. Previously site receipt allowed this. All said and done lovely to be outside caravan listening to sounds of animals in the Park.

Great Site

The team were very helpful, site clean and well cared for, shower block clean and well maintained. Peaceful location, even with the sounds of the animals in the safari park. Had some lovely fish and chips from the van that visited site. Liked it so much we extended our stay, would have stayed longer but had to get home.

Lovely site

April 2024 We stayed for 2 nights here as we had to have our caravan serviced in Westbury on one of the days. The site was very well maintained and clean. Check-in was very straightforward and we had plenty of pitches to choose from all with good access for our 8m long caravan. From start to finish the staff were very helpful. We had an issue with the electrical connection to the car and the warden Mark went out of his way to assist with the issue. Loved the dogwalk. So nice to have a pretty walk with the dogs through the wood with the bluebells out. Very peaceful, great to hear birds and animal noises instead of traffic! We will certainly be back for a longer stay. One of the best sites we have stayed at.

A Good Campsite

The campsite at Longleat is in a great location for the safari park which was our main reason for visiting, other than the safari park it is a bit cut off for other facilities though. We went over the Easter bank holiday, the site was full, my husband had to queue for a shower, the facilities seemed a bit on the tired side, and dated but they were very clean. It did rain a lot, and the facilities were used a lot, so by the time they were due to be cleaned the next day, they really needed it. The site at night was very dark, there weren’t many lights about, I know the Club is trying to be environmentally friendly but it made it really difficult to first of all find a pitch and then try to set up. I know the club are trialling the peg system but again it’s difficult when it’s pitch black and raining with very little light. The play area was disappointing, our daughter was really looking forward to it but it needs updating really, and for the amount of children on the site it’s really small and it was just full. There were also older children kicking footballs round it, not the campsites fault but annoying when you have a toddler. The staff were friendly, and helpful, the site is noisey at night from the safari park, the sealions don’t stop all night, and the safari vehicles are up and down from early in the morning on the road next to the campsite. Phone signal is impossible to get, and the wifi was very poor as well, but didn’t expect it to be brilliant as it is so far out. Overall a nice site, well maintained, clean but it does need some updating. I have read that the lease is due to end on the site soon, and unfortunately you can tell, such a shame as it’s so handy for the safari park.

Festival of Light stay

We used the campsite during the Festival of Light this weekend. It was brilliant, the location is right on the park, so no trekking from the carpark or queuing to get in or out of the Safari park. We were able to head back to our motorhome during the day to relax whilst waiting for it to get dark so we could enjoy the festival of lights rather than having to hang about on the park in the cold and wet. On the campsite all the staff were extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. The toilets were immaculately clean and tidy. We will definitely visit again.

TLC required

Fantastic location. Peaceful, with the exception of listening to the wildlife from Longleat. This is, of course, an attraction of the site. Poor WiFi but gives you the chance to switch off. Facilities very dated and in need of refurbishment. Warden said lease is ending soon so no investment which is such a shame. In particular the disabled facilities need a review though I was able to discuss concerns with the site warden. Clearer information regarding access road to the site would be useful as the road feels more like a country track than an access road. Nearly turned around!

Another great stay

Another great stay at this site - myself, husband, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter stayed again this year and couldn’t fault as usual. Seemless check in - lovely clean and well maintained facilities and pitch. Wardens went above and beyond as usual and were very accommodating and helped us out on our second day which made for a stress free day not having to moving car and motorhome.
