Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMar 2024

This site is fantastic! With a range of fields you can choose from a range a views and range of distances from the facilities. The family who own and run the site are very welcoming and helpful, and will happily tell you lots about the area and its history. The location of the site itself provides an easy walk into a lovely town called Bitton. You can also walk to quite a few shops if you don't mind the longer trek. Otherwise, these are all in an easy drive. Bristol is also in an easily drivable distance. The toilets and shower are kept well cleaned and the shower is lovely and refreshing. Couldn't have asked for better!
