  • Small CAMC members-only site halfway between Bristol and Bath
  • Next door to Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park
  • Dogs and kids welcome; farm shop less than a mile away on foot
Booking a stay halfway between Bath and Bristol, and with easy access from the A4, is an excellent idea – it means you’ll be able to make trips to both of these vibrant (but very different) cities, and also try out a whole lot of fabulous attractions and activities in the Somerset countryside. Occupying this attractive location is Avon Valley Farm Certified Location, a small touring site for CAMC members only. The handful of pitches here are part of an arable farm – it’s a working farm, but generally fairly peaceful and calm (although there can be some noise from the nearby Bristol-to-Bath railway line sometimes). The pitch area of the site is pleasingly flat and populated with plenty of hedges and trees for privacy and shade. It’s a scenic place, too, with views towards Kelston Roundhill and the River Avon, and several paths leading from the farm down to the river, to the village of Saltford or to the Bristol-Bath cycle path. It's also easy to stroll to the nearby farm shop (just under a mile away), which serves great breakfasts and sells a good range of local produce, including local meat. Back at base, you’ll be staying on a serviced pitch with access to toilets, chemical disposal point and waste facilities. Dogs and kids are welcome – and the latter will probably be delighted to find that they're staying next door to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, which is open through school holidays and for some special events (such as the October pumpkin patch and Bonfire Night fireworks display).

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked: Lovely views. Good for dog walks. Witnessed the steam train whilst there. Water and EHU on our pitch. Small site but walkable to Waitrose and farm shop

Disliked: Some train noise but so fast you don’t notice and didn’t affect sleep. No wifi

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked: Friendly owner. Clean site. Electric Hookup. Basic, but the price is perfect for it. Lovely surroundings.

Disliked: One of the 2 toilets didn't lock. Cold water tap in the toilets. Would be great to have a shower on site. But all of these are acceptable at the price paid. (People mention the train noise, in our opinion, it wasn't noisy).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Ryan! We hope to renovate our lavatories in future. Please do come and stay with us again!

Kate M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked: Easy to find, just off main road. Flat and spacious pitches. Right next to Avon Valley Country Park, so great if you stay here with children. Supermarket a short walk in one direction and farm shop and cafe in the other. Main line train noise was not a problem for us.

Disliked: Toilets were pretty disgusting and not clean, the door on one cubicle was swollen with the damp weather and did not shut properly and the doors open directly onto the gravel entrance area. General maintenance was poor, there were dog poo bags chucked in the hedge behind our van. We don't have a dog. Expensive for a December stay.

From the manager: I'm really sorry to hear you were disappointed by our site. I have checked the lavatories and although I agree that that they are definitely not luxurious, they are clean and functional. I try to ensure that my description is accurate; they are agricultural at best. It is unfortunate that one door has bowed in the poor weather and I will get this fixed now that the holiday season is over. I cannot imagine why anyone would throw dog poo bags in the hedge when we have a large bin on site. They seem to have disappeared now but I will be more vigilant in future to ensure this never happens again. We have signs on the site asking people with dogs to be respectful of other site users and the site in general. Thank you for staying with us and if you change your mind you will always be welcome to stay again.

Liked: Very large pitches, quiet, owner Suzanne was exceptionally friendly and helpful, very accommodating.
I am 76, and my wife 74, our 57th wedding anniversary so wanted to go to the xmas markets at Bristol and Bath, a leisurely walk for 15 minutes to the bus stop was no problem even though I use a stick as an aid.
TV reception very good, both toilets were clean, would recommend this CL to all.

Disliked: Nothing.

Paul J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked: Straightforward basic site, just what we tend to book with large central grass area that we could have our dog on a long lead on. Due to the recent raint we decided to park on some hardstanding as opposed to the two remaining grass pitches.

Disliked: Didn't realise that being next door to "Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park" meant that there was a fun fair, pumpkin picking and fear event on till gone 11pm and the site bordered the car park to it.

Unless you are visiting the park then double check the parks website to see if they have any events on before booking it.

From the manager: Apologies for the extra noise and traffic. I have requested that this is put in our site description on Pitchup. I try to let all customers know that we have lots of Halloween events going on in October but I need to ensure that all guests can see that on PitchUp too. Thank you for your feedback - it is gratefully received.

We will return great site

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (members only)

Liked: The location was convenient for visiting Bristol. We parked our car near to nearest bus stop and bought a daily bus pass which we used throughout the city. That was excellent for £6.

Disliked: To be honest it is a very basic site. We didnt need to use the toilets but they were definitely in need of a refurb.

From the manager: Thanks for your comment. I hope to renovate the lavatories at some point in the future and will do my best to ensure they are more acceptable to our guests.

Nice a peaceful, with the exception of the train line which is relatively close; however, not close enough or busy enough to be a nuisance.

Local attractions

You won't need to travel far to get started on the outings and activities – it’s only a few minutes' walk to the Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park, to meet farm animals, walk among (animatronic) dinosaurs and enjoy the play areas and rides. If that's not your style, you can instead stroll to Active Outdoors for paddleboarding, archery and axe throwing, among other activities. Further chances to exercise your competitive streak are close by at Stockwood Vale Golf Club or Congo Falls Adventure Golf (both 10 minutes’ drive). If you’d rather take in the scenery, there are plenty of paths around for walks and bike rides, and Avon Riverside station is 10 minutes’ drive away for heritage rides on the Avon Valley Railway. Although the rural offerings are great, so are the nearby cities. Both Bristol and Bath are easy to get to by bus or train – choose Bristol for the SS Great Britain, M Shed, Bristol Aquarium and We The Curious, or head to Bath for a historic stroll around the Royal Crescent, Bath Abbey and Roman Baths.
