 Stayed for two nights.
Liked, ease of booking, friendly efficient check in and able to select pitch.
Facilities clean and not crowded.
Good games room for our four grandchildren.
Pitches well spaced, level hard standings.
Close proximity to Safari Park ( site entrance is literally next to park pedestrian entrance ). Could hear animals during day and faintly at night.
We have annual passes and we were able to to visit for two half days and one full day.
Shop had basics for most eventualities.
Nothing to dislike.

Lovely couple of nights here for the Icons of the Sky event at Longleat. We booked 3 nights, but planned to leave late on the Sunday evening. We arrived on the Friday evening and had prebooked tickets for the event on the Sat and Sunday.
Booked for the site online, paid the deposit and the remainder was automatically taken on our arrival day, so when we arrived at reception it was all paid. Reception had a shop stocking essentials.
When we arrived on site we were shown a map and asked to choose a pitch - there wasn't much choice as the site was already full, but our pitch was a large hardstanding, big enough for an awning, (I don't think there was a difference in price between and awning pitch and non awning).
The site was and tidy and offers a selection of pitches from tents to fully serviced, and there were two toilet blocks and a games room. We were pitched not too far from the games room which had a table tennis, pool, outdoor draughts etc. The block also had a couple of individual unisex toilets and a disabled toilet.
In the evening we were visited by some friends that lived locally and they were allowed to park on our pitch, we just had to let them in and out of the barrier with the fob.
On the Friday we had Chicken Gyros from a visiting Greek Food van paying with a card which was lovely. We later watched the fireworks from the comfort of the van though the window as we could see though a gap in the trees.
It's a very short walk from the site into the Safari park. It was lovely to be able to head to the park for a couple of hours and then head back to the camp site for a coffee or for lunch. On the Sat we had fish and chips from the visiting food van which was freshly cooked and delicious - £9 for fish and chips and an extra £1 for mushy peas/gravy etc. - Cash only though. On that note everything in the Safari Park is cashless - you have to use a card. We knew that in advance, but luckily had taken some cash with us too.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the wardens were friendly and helpful, the toilet blocks were reasonably clean considering the site was very full, and were cleaned at different times so there was always an open block. The individual unisex toilets on the games room block were a bit in need of a deep clean however, around the taps was pretty grimy.
We had a walk round the site and checked out the dog walk, we didn't take our dog this time but will do in future, the dog walk is a small fenced off woodland area where the dogs can be off lead. Other than a gate which led to a stream which she could have squeezed under we think our dog would have been pretty secure in there. There was a dog bin nearby.
The wifi was a bit sporadic, and another couple said they tried unsuccessfully to get a tv reception.
If you do go to the site for an evening event take a torch, the road back from the park was not lit at all, in fact someone walking near us walked straight into one of 4 wooden bollards that were across the road which were difficult to see in the dark. They dropped what they were carrying and smashing some bottles, they were lucky they were unhurt.
I don't think there is much to walk to from the site other than the safari park. You can pay for entry at the kiosk on the way in or buy a ticket online. You can hear the sea lions especially during the day when they are being fed regularly by visitors on the boat ride! There is a pub nearby that serves food but I'm not sure how long the walk would be to get there.
Also if you had no car and wanted to go to the African Village part of the Safari where the giraffes are the walk is about 20 mins down a road with no path and the cars would not be expecting pedestrians. We booked a VIP Safari experience (which was brilliant) and we arranged with them to be picked up from the caravan site rather than the meeting point at the Safari.
We had a great stay, the food vans were a bonus, the site was clean and tidy with good sized pitches and friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely return.

Very nice campsite in a great location.
Pitches are level with a choice of under trees or out in the open. Birdsong and safari park animals can be heard all day. Facilities excellent.
The site is only a few minutes walk from the safari park entrance and it makes a great day out.
There is a couple of pubs up on the main road about 30 minutes walk away, both very nice.
Recommend this site for a weekend at the safari park.

We initially booked this planning for 4 people to stay for the weekend to see the Festival of lights, but out plans changed at the last minute and we ended up only being able to stay for the day.
We wanted to keep our booking and park the motorhome at the site for the day as we wanted to be able to return to the motorhome during the day for a break as we had our elderly parents with us. I rang a couple of days before our arrival to find out what we could do and if we still needed to pay for 2 nights as we wanted to arrive in the morning and leave in the evening.
The staff were incredibly helpful. They amended our booking to one person which reduced the cost and allowed us to arrive in the morning and park in the late night arrival space for the day. This saved us a lot of money.
The site was really clean and tidy and the facilities were immaculate. It was a really short walk onto the safari park, perfect for our elderly parents.
It made such a difference being able to return to the motorhome during the day rather than trying to find a seat in the overcrowded restaurants or having to stay out in the cold for the day.
We will definitely visit again especially if there are special events on.

Longleat site is excellent for visiting the nearby longleat safari park.
The site is quiet, apart from sea lions being at bit noisy at times,
It’s a very friendly site and all staff encountered were helpful.
New internet wifi system, recently installed was a bit sporadic on signal.
Only issue was on departure 10am Saturday morning, you leave the site and have to join the safari queue to get out, Should have been told either go earlier, or leave later. To avoid the hoardes entering longleat, between 9:30 and 11 am.

Stayed here for 5 nights in early October 2022 with my dog, and the site was very quiet; however, the site and its facilities remained to be well-kept.
The wardens were very helpful when I arrived, even rang ahead to make sure I was still intending to stay when I failed to arrive at my original planned arrival time.
When I asked for a pitch with good mobile phone signal and/or Wi-Fi access, they joked that I was on the wrong camp site to start with, followed by helpful suggestion to try certain locations within the site to check the mobile phone signal and Wi-Fi and pick the best pitch.
I was able to find a pitch with good Wi-Fi access and paid for site Wi-Fi, as the mobile phone signal was not reliable.
This is a personal preference/requirement as I needed to work. If one wants to get away from it all, then this site would tick many boxes for you.
I particularly liked the dog walk area which was fenced off and allowed dogs to go off leash at the owners' risks, as they did not guarantee the area to be secure.
And it was not, in that a fence by a stream/river was not secure, and my dog was able to go under it to explore on the other side. Also, because it was quite a large mature woodland area, it was not possible to ascertain if there were other dogs and owners already in the area.
Luckily my dog behaved himself and came back to me without bothering the other dogs and their owners, or went off to explore the area beyond the fence!
Please be forewarned that the site is not far from the Longleat Safari Park especially the man-made lake, and animal noises, particularly from the sea lions could be heard throughout my stay, as could be confirmed by the attendant stationed at the entrance/exit just up the road from the site's entrance/exit.
The site had a shop that looked well-equipped with the usual provisions and caravan/motorhome accessories.
It has a play area for young children that looked well-equipped. There is also a family/function room, however, I did not check it out.
The facilities block nearest to my pitch was always warm even on the coldest nights.
The pitches are spacious and well-spaced.
Lastly, depending on the time of the year, choose you pitch wisely and avoid staying under an oak tree due to risk of acorns falling onto the roof of your van, as they startled me and my dog when they did!
Apart from that, it was a lovely stay at a lovely site; no doubt I shall return as it is less than an hour from home!

Great site up to usual C&MC standard with added bonus of lions roaring and load of other animal sounds.
Great site position with loads to see in the local area from Longleat itself, Bath Bristol, Clark’s Village, Bradford on Avon even Bournemouth and Poole easy drive.
Great for digital detoxing! ☺️😏 virtually no mobile signals on any network in the site, paid club WiFi very poor and poor tv signal and pitches around us the bollard tv boosters didn’t work so great if you want to read and/or talk with the wife/ husband 😂

Quite a large site, access road is narrow in places but given that most people using it are going to/from the campsite, getting the van down is ok.
The majority of the pitches have been laid to hardstand with just a handful of grassed pitches, and almost all pitches have tree cover. Seems very popular with families, lots of children around and it's worth being very careful as they fly around on their bikes. TV reception was ok with the onboard aerial, the bollards all have a TV socket for connection if necessary, though you may need a long cable to connect.
Power leads push into the socket, then twist to engage - caught us and our neighbour out. Push the button beside the socket to disengage. Wifi and mobile service is patchy, you'll see people standing around the outside of the site trying to find a reasonable signal.
Pitches 80-86 don't get the club wifi signal, and also have the constant sound of the waterfall in the background. Inside the van it sounded as though it was raining the whole time.
Staff were friendly and helpful, even though August is probably their most testing time. Facilities were spotless and well looked after.
Local area is ok, but apart from Longleat park itself, it's not got much else going on for it. You can access Longleat by foot just outside the site but if you are taking the car, then you need to head 1/4 mile back up the access road and turn down the VIP entrance.
Pub at the start of the entrance road was barely ok. Pretty dour staff who seemed to be going through the motions rather than providing a welcoming service, food was better than the service. Better option is the Royal Oak, which also has a lovely pub garden at the back with good views over the park. Neither pub is within walking distance.
Reasonable train service from Warminster to Bath and Bristol to the North, and Salisbury and Southampton to the South if you wanted to travel a bit further.

Very busy site right in the middle of the Longleat estate and a very short walk to the entrance of the animal park.
Site was very clean and very full, the problem we had is that we are not lovers of hard standings and the stones were not small but as the majority of the site was hard standing we had no choice.
The site has lots of trees on it so is quite sheltered and is to be honest a nice site, on a night you could sometimes hear the animals in the park which was nice,
The staff were a bit regimental at times and not as friendly as on many other Caravan Club sites we have used, maybe with it being not long after the first Covid lockdown could have had something to do with it.
Great site for the children being so close to the park and plenty of roads to ride around on their bikes. We have used the site before and would go back again despite those stones.
Re the ratings I only rate 10 out of 10 for exceptional, for us, sites.
