I don't normally leave reviews but due to very little information being provided by the listed sites around Bristol, I am leaving a review here as I found reviews the best measure of where to go.
The site and location and staff were all good. The facilities are in a purpose built wooden structure which is heated, but the gents toilet door was so close to the pan, I had to open the door to complete my ablutions!
I was told they are building another block soon.
I never had to wait to use the facilities however and I would use the site again.

We stayed there a couple of week ago in our bedford bambi. On arrival we got a warm and friendly welcome off the daughter who was very helpful, then the next day had the pleasure of meeting the father who shown us around his new barn conversion which was really good, and he was such a pleasant friendly fella. Lovely campsite, lovely people. Thank u

We stayed here for one night to test out our tent as it's only 10 minutes from where we live! The site was fairly quiet when we arrived and we were the only tent in the field. The owner was very helpful, and we paid a little extra for a fire pit and as many logs as we could burn. The kids loved toasting marshmallows!
There is a trampoline in the field, but of limited use as there is no safety netting.
The toilets were reasonably clean, but with only one shower there could be quite a wait if the site were to be busy.

We stayed here for our first proper camping trip, for 3 nights for the Bristol Balloon Fiesta.
Booking was simple and very friendly on the phone.
On arrival we checked in and were so pleased we had chosen this site - it is a lovely site and the owners are so friendly and couldn't be more accommodating - they even put our ice packs in their freezer and our food in their fridge as the weather was so hot we would have had mouldy food!
The camping paddocks are well maintained, although we did find after we had put the tent up we were on a very slight slope! But that didn't matter really. The main field as you drive in has a duck pond in the middle of it, so not advisable to camp in this one with very young children.
The toilets are in a purpose built wooden block and are generally clean and well maintained. There is one shower in the ladies block which is a little small and isn't adjustable for height or direction. It is also a push one like you get in some swimming pools, so goes off after a short while - good idea to preserve energy but difficult to adjust to the pressure when you start it up again!
There is a washing up area at the end of the toilet/shower block with wooden surfaces. The area was fairly clean and a handy supply of fairy liquid in case you'd forgotten yours! There was no hot water here but if you take a large pan or water carrier you can fill this up with hot water from the sinks in the toilet block.
This is a very child friendly site, there are chickens and ducks roaming around and a friendly collie dog too. We saw a trampoline on our last day which we hadn't spotted before!
A wonderful site and great for first time campers like ourselves - we don't live far away really but will definitely go back there next year. My only reservation about recommending this site is that there might not be room for us next year!

We visited here during the balloon fiesta, and was very disappointed with the site.
The 3 little fields were very busy, and although we had booked a pitch previous, there had not been a pitch kept for us. We were told by the very friendly owner to park up, walk around and find a spot. The grass was extremely long, which, when you have dogs, makes it very difficult to pick up behind them.
There was no hardstandings that we were told about, and it was not level. We did find a spot, but needed chocks, and there was quite a lot of traffic noise where we were pitched. We were not told where the facilities were, and had to find out ourselves.
There was a toilet block, for which had one shower. We ventured over there the next morning, quite late, and it was extremely dirty. Bins in the loos were full to bursting, and I was sure they had not been cleaned.
There was no place to tip the toilet waste, so it had to go down the toilet in the gents, for which I think, there was only one.
The entrance to the site, was very narrow, through two gates and we only just managed to get through, and our motorhome isn't that big. We thought the cost per night was too high, compared to other sites we had stayed in prior to this one. Also we think it is more suited to tents.

I stayed here as a halfway-house for a couple of nights. Just staying whilst I drove into Cornwall and back in a day.
The site was quiet, with only a couple of camper vans in a separate field. I had a field to myself.
It rained quite heavily whilst I was there but the group was free draining.
Re facilities: one male and one female shower, a WC in the gents and urinals, and a hand basin.
Loads of hot water, and though the showers were push button, they ran for about 20 seconds and to be honest, I could have done with a couple of seconds less (never happy!)
Everything was very clean with loo roll provided.
There are a couple of pubs within a mile or so, one of them within about 5 mins walk (and it serves home cooked food and cask ales (i was happy)
On my second night - torrential rain was forecast and Rich & Abbie very kindly let me stay in one of the rooms in the Dutch Barn. Without this I think I would be floating somewhere in the Atlantic by now, as it was torrential and continual rain overnight.
It is a basic site, but a lovely site.
The facilities are all that I needed, and when I really needed more, I was offered one of the rooms.
Rich and Abbie are very kind people.
I hope to stay here again sometime soon
The only suggestion I could make would be the addition of duck-boards in the shower changing area - but that's just being picky.

Arrived amidst terrible weather to the site, but were warmly welcomed by Rich who let us stay in their barn conversion so we wouldn't have to put up our tent in a gale!
A fantastic, friendly campsite with loads of nice touches eg somewhere on the back of the shower door to stash clothes etc.
Also, the toilet blocks are nice and clean and modern. Only one shower so might have to wait if the site is really busy.
Really easy to get into Bristol.
Would definitely recommend this site, and will hopefully stay there again.

What a lovely little site! We stayed for just one night on our way to Devon. We had a small paddock area (Field 3), probably big enough for four or five tents, all to ourselves!
We were provided with a fire pit and lid, firelighters, kindling, and enough wood to last us all night! Fantastic!
There was a new looking wooden toilet block with 3 toilets and a shower in the Ladies, I assume similar in the mens. One of the ladies' loos also has a basin in the cubicle for privacy. There was a small outside covered washing up area.
The whole atmosphere of the place is very laid back. It only cost us £18 for a campervan, the fire, 2 adults and 2 children. The owner is great and very welcoming! He gave us his mobile number when we booked and asked us to ring when we got nearby, he then gave us detailed directions to the site.
We didn't really explore the area but would definitely return again as a 1 or 2 night stop. There is a Sainsbury's about 4 miles away on the outskirts of Bristol together with all the amenities the city has to offer!

I was really pleased to find this new site so near to Bristol. I did wonder what I'd let myself in for when I arrived as there were so many cars - but it turns out that they do airport parking as well as B&B, etc. , etc. There's agricultural diversification!
Nice small fields, lovely facilities block, one of the nicest I've been to. Could do with the bare wooden walls painting to give a more finished look, and the showers are a bit too powerful for the size of cubicle. Apart from that, really well designed and sparklingly cleaned.
Downsides for me were the roaming animals. I had to pick up dogdirt near my tent, which isn't brill. Then I was cooking my tea in the porch of my tent when three ducks approached and to cut a long story short, knocked over my gas cooker and ate my dinner! I went to tell the owner who shut them up promptly, but an offer of some more food would have been appreciated.
As a touring cyclist I don't carry much food so it was a bit bleak to be watching everybody else eat barbecues whilst I ate plain cous cous! Other campers said they'd been a nuisance with other people, but by yourself there's no-one to fend them off.
Back to routine stuff: there is road noise but I didn't find it a problem. Note for cyclists, you can get out of Bristol via cycle tracks and go via Long Ashton and Yanley to avoid using the A38 at all.
Overall, I may well be back, but please, any chance of ditching the ducks?
