Relaxed rural campsite on a working mixed farm
Bradford-on-Avon 15 minutes' drive; Bath half an hour
Family-friendly farm on the edge of a Wiltshire village; dogs allowed

Take up a plot at Yellowtail Camping for a relaxed and welcoming stay. This campsite is in the grounds of a working mixed farm in the Wiltshire countryside and it’s a top base for exploring local towns like Bradford-on-Avon or Frome, as well as UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Stonehenge and the Georgian city of Bath. Plus, the place itself is in a convenient location on the edge of the village of Hilperton near Trowbridge. With a nature pond, a designated picnic and barbecue area and key facilities like toilets, showers and chemical disposal points, Yellowtail Camping has the kind of functional amenities that make holidaying here that little bit more pleasant. Dogs are allowed here throughout the camping season too, but please make sure they're on a lead at all times and well-behaved around other guests and their pets. New Barn Farm, where the campsite is located, is about 15 minutes' walk from the Kennet and Avon Canal, where there's lots of scope for waterside walks, bike rides and trips to the pubs that are dotted along the towpath. The site is also within a mile's walking or cycling distance from a café and a coffee roaster, while Trowbridge town centre's supermarkets and railway station can be accessed in a five-minute drive or less.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet clean site. Clean showers and toilets - with heating just enough for this chilly weather.

Disliked: Frustrating that there was no hot water at the washing up station. Had to get some from the toilets. Seemed quite expensive considering this.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: No we’re to let dog off lead ! Toilets were cold and often occupied! Very weak showers !
Wouldn’t return

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feed back.

In relation to facilities for dogs to be let off the lead in, there is the following:

Four acres dog field - Secure Dog Field in Trowbridge Search 'Dog Parks Near Me'

This park is a short walk up the lane from the campsite. Alternative options are also available in the village. In relation to dogs being kept on the lead while on the site. As the campsite is located on a working farm with adjacent fields with livestock, we hope dog owners understand and act responsibly by keeping dogs on the lead. Additionally we also ask this policy is respected in relation to other campers who may be adverse to dogs, so as to maintain an enjoyable stay for everyone dog owners and non dog owners alike.

The dethatched toilet block, is fitted with heating, we will look into if this needs to be turned up.

With relation to showers they are fitted with controls similar to domestic settings that can be used to alter flowrate and temperature.

Perhaps some consideration could be given to the reasonable differential expectations between a hotel and a campsite.

Peace and quiet.

Local attractions

Scenic are many of the places around here. First off, there’s Bradford-on-Avon (15 minutes' drive) on the river Avon, where it’s easy to get fully acquainted with the water by canoeing, kayaking or taking a boat tour. There are historical heritage sites too, and it’s not the only place known for that because Bath (half an hour) has Roman baths, the pretty Pulteney Bridge and Bath Abbey. More of those historical go-tos, Stonehenge (40 minutes) has surely got to make your list for its iconic stone circle. Closer by, the 14th-century remains of Farleigh Hungerford Castle (15 minutes) and the peaceful Iford Manor Gardens (20 minutes) are some other tributes to old times. Then, when you fancy throwing some wildlife into the mix, Longleat Safari Park (30 minutes) has more than its fair share. Other cool natural spots include the limestone caverns at Wookey Hole (an hour), but for that buzz of the town, Frome (half an hour) has a historic centre and Wells (an hour) is packed with events, eateries and museums.
