 This is one of the best C. C. Sites we have visited, very well laid out with woodland trees on the Longleat estate. Longleat House, its grounds and adventure park are only a few minutes walk along the road, and the safari park is right next door to them. We spent two full days seeing the attractions at Longleat. It's best to take the tour bus around the safari park. Do not take your car through the monkey enclosure. We saw parts of cars being broken off.
As other reviewers have mentioned, you can hear the sea lions and other animals from the caravan site. The location is good for a trip to Bath that is a very popular city for tourists. We liked the Roman baths, the abbey nearby, and No. 1 Royal Crescent is worth a visit, but will be even better when they have completed renovation of further rooms that will be added from the adjoining No. 1A. We had lunch at Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Bath called Jamie's Italian - excellent food.
Stourhead, a National Trust property only about 10 miles away is definitely worth a day out. It has a magnificent house and delightful grounds. We also enjoyed Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral. A fish and chip van 'Mr. Chips' calls every Tuesday and Friday, and the quality is excellent. We had fresh tasting fish with crispy batter, and good chips that are not too greasy. The toilet blocks are very good.
The electric hook ups also have TV connections and you can buy a cable from reception which also stocks food essentials. The wardens are friendly and helpful, and we will certainly be going to the Longleat site again.

What a fantastic site this is. 100 yards from the entrance and you are in Longleat Safari Park. Lovely house and gardens to stroll around. Listen to the sea lions from the campsite. Well laid out pitches and spotless. Up to the standards you would expect from Caravan Club. Just a bit disappointed that the earliest arrival time was 13. 00 hrs. The lane was a bit narrow and about a mile and a half so I guess this was the reason. Mobile phone signal not great there either.

This is a lovely site that I would highly recommend
The pitches are well spaced, hardstanding throughout. All pitches even have TV aerial connection so worth taking a cable if you have one to guarantee good reception.
The facilities are very very well maintained, water is convenient and there are well designed emptying points.
The staff were very nice, professional and courteous and a credit to themselves.
We have small children and they loved the play area, there are sensible rules regarding scooter usage after dusk to prevent nuisance to other residents. Due to its proximity to the Safari park there is probably a higher percentage of families on the site - but it is not a massive site and therefore does not feel over-run.
The main attraction is the Safari park, however there are other things to see locally too (National Trust at Stouron is really worth a look) and would use this site even if I was not going!
In short - one not to be missed - will definitely go back.

Longleat site has undergone some changes for this year, you now approach the site NOT through Longleat grounds, but via the old exit only lane. It is a bit tight, but we had no issues with our big twin axle, and have heard no other problems.
You will need you CC pass to get onto Longleat grounds, and no dogs are allowed. This is due to a massive increase in their insurance costs, inputting these changes has saved them over 100k a year, so you have to understand why! However, they have invested a lot in the Safari and the new Gorilla colony, so it's not all bad!
Longleat season pass is ideal if you plan to use this all the time you are here, the adventure playground in Longleat will keep the kids happy for days, just take towels and change of clothes on sunny days as they WILL get wet!
The rest of Longleat has all the attractions you could want.
The site is here for Longleat, however if you wish to venture out you'll need the car.
Nearest shops are Frome, where there are numerous shops, Asda, Iceland and Lidl's to name a few. There is a market on sundays in peak season's, and the shops here will cater for almost all your needs.
Asda also has a fuel station and is amongst the cheapest you'll find, it is card only payment as unmanned.
Fleet air arm museum is about 40 mins away as is Haynes Motor Museum, both are well worth a visit and will see out a day easily.
This part of the country has loads to offer, you just need to look a little harder to find it.
The site copes very well with heavy rain, very few pitches ever flood, and any surface water drained away quickly.
Site is normal CC layout, various pitches all with different positions and sizes, almost all are hard-standing. Some are closer to toilets than others, those nearly the play parks will be busier and noisier than others. If you want a quiet life in school hols then stick to the edges, however we have kids so did not see this as a problem.
There is no where for them to go, if they do wander outside the main gate, then they be stopped by either security guard on peak times, or find themselves in a quiet lane! The site is big so unlikely to happen, even our 3 year old didn't wander outside and we were close to the entrance.
Overall the site is a high standard and well kept as per most CC sites, the small shop on site does the basics, but don't expect it to keep you going.
If you are looking to come here for hols, then collect Tesco vouchers for Longleat, it'll save you fortunes!

This has to be one of the best sites we have visited, from the wardens right down to the heated floor in the shower blocks.
The whole thing was immaculate, well laid out, and as we had our 4 & 6 year old grandchildren with us, the play area was superb. All the drivers obeyed the speed limit signs so kids could ride their bikes in perfect safety. The Safari Park is right next door so a few minutes walk and we were in it. Will definitely go back again.

Although I will score the site 8/10 I was a little disappointed. After reading he reviews, most of which score 8/9 out of 10 I expected more.
Very well maintained site with good size pitches. EHU on each pitch and TV booster. (cables made the place look untidy)
The lane to the site is about 2 miles of just larger than single track. There is little in the way of shops in the area and so a 15 minute drive to Warminster or Frome is needed. There are a couple of pubs within 10 minute drive.
On arrival the staff were not rude or offensive just not welcoming.
We have a 2 year old and so a park to entertain him is a must. The children's area on site is again to a high standard but small. 10 minutes on the swing and a further 5 on the slide and he was bored.
The shower block is again to a nice standard, closes for 90 minutes at lunchtime.
Camping on site gains free entry to the house and grounds at Longleat. The weather was very poor so we didn't bother with the grounds, but a stroll around them in the sunshine may have made a visit to he campsite a more enjoyable experience.

We have stayed at Longleat several times previously. We still found the site to be immaculate in its grounds and maintenance, and the reception and check in was just fine. The wardens were helpful and friendly enough when we had any contact with them. The pitches are large and the children (aged between 9 and 14) enjoyed the park and village green where they could play cricket and football.
The toilets are absoluetly immaculate, allthough there were a few queues in the mornings for the showers (only 4/5 persons in the queue)in the ladies. We don't mind waiting though.
The proximity to Longleat attractions is the real plus point for this site for us. We did the Tesco vouchers, which only cost £6 for a day pass where you could go in and out all day (if you had enough time!) Excellant value for money for £6 each. We all really enjoyed the day and loved the new Birds of Prey show.
The only negative this year is that last year we enjoyed very much being able to take long walks and cycle around the estate after the park had closed. It was peaceful and beautiful and the cycling and walking was amazing. We were also able to take the dog with us last year, but now new restrictions are in place, and you can no longer take your dog or cycle into the estate. We even had our bags searched whilst passing through the barrier, and were asked to show receipts for our stay at the site along with our day passes. Seemed a little extreme to us. It spoilt it a little for us I must admit.
That said, due to the kids having a ball at Longleat, we will stay again in 2013.

We arrived at this site on the back of a recovery truck, our clutch cable having broken a few miles up the road. The site staff couldn't have been more helpful or understanding, and what could have been a frustrated and worrying evening (we weren't sure if we could get repaired next day before travelling on), turned out to be a relaxed time on this wonderful site. Quiet and peaceful – only the sealions to disturb the silence! – excellent, very clean facilities.
We found the shop a bit limited in its supplies and accessible pubs all seemed a bit of a walk (though this might just have been us being wimps after a trying day). A fish and chip van visits the site, apparently, sadly not on the night we were there.
As non-Caravan Club members we paid £10 more for our pitch, but we would definitely come here again, not least to make the most of Longleat, next-door. A welcoming and relaxing site.

This site is in a great location & the perfect base for visiting Longleat - there is so much to do & see. The site facilities are the standard that you would expect from the Caravan Club - spotless & plentiful facilities, my only criticisms of the site would be too many signs telling you what to do & the speed at which to do it - we're on holiday, not at school, and the pitches are now so large that there is a sea of gravel with limited areas to sit on grass by your pitch, we have a small unit & it is lost on the pitch.
Please be aware that the Longleat Estate have altered some of the rules so you will find some changes, do check where you intend to go & can you return at night - bear in mind that a National Cycle route does run through the park so you should be able to return from The Bath Arms on bicycle, but other routes will not be accessible by car. Dog walking rules have changed also.
On the positive side - very beautiful part of the world. Lots to do & see, good pubs locally, cycle & walk to several. If you stay with children, the site is perfect for doing bits of the park, getting back to base to recharge your batteries, then going back into the park - you will have a great time. There is also a good playground on the site.

A wonderful site - all the usual CC advantages - immaculately kept, excellent toilet blocks and very friendly and helpful wardens. A one night stay became three, partly because of the site itself and partly because of the Longleat estate, which we loved. Plenty of shady pitches which is important for us because of the dogs and it was particularly hot. The site dog-walk is great. Value for money was quite good (£20. 30 all-in with two dogs) with the added advantage of a discount on admission to the estate.
