Hi

Can anyone recommend a good Family Site fairly near to Longleat, in Wiltshire. I don't mind driving 10-15 miles to get to Longleat. The park doesn't have to have a lot of facilities as we'll be going to the Safari park by day.

Thanks!

You could try here Piccadilly Lane  http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3.asp?search=piccadilly&by=sitename which is near Laycock, Wiltshire.

It is a small, family site, in a very tranquil setting.  He has some lovely tent pitches and I don't think it's far to drive to Longleat from here.  Availability is good and he usually manages to book us in even at short notice, unlike some of the bigger, more commercialised sites.  The owner is normally happy to let you stay on your pitch into the afternoon on your day of departure too, which is a bonus.

The site does have play equipment and a large grassed playing field too.  It is very reasonably priced, so that you have more to spend in Longleat itself!  The facilities are immaculately kept.

I didn't think our nine-year old would enjoy the site particularly, as it is very low-key, but he declared he loved it!!

Thanks for the tips! Will try and book into one of those suggested.

Mark.
