Worse site I’ve been on
This is my second visit to a CL, the first was fantastic on the border with Scotland.
Bicknam was like arriving into someone’s unkempt back yard. The approach is a little steep.The welcome we received was abrupt. He said we should have included an sae when we sent our deposit. We said he never informed us of this but he was adamant he did. The price in the members book of £16 a night was not what we were charged. It’s actually £1650. He gave us a useful information pack and that’s the last we saw of him. There is space for about 8 with water and electric. The grass was long and sodden. The shop was untidy and the whole site was tired with weeds growing between the flagstone hard standing. The outside chemical waste stank. I will never return.
On the plus side it’s 2miles from bath
Lovely CL site very close to Bath & cycle routes
We had a warm welcome from Merv & Lynn with a fantastic large welcome pack of leaflets. They have a great farm shop with fresh vegetables and eggs too. We spent 4 nights here end July 2020.
Lovely well maintained neat site with water and electric on the pitches. Not a big site but no problem for our 23ft MH, but there is a slight slope on entering gates. Waste water located at end of site has limited access for a MH as wash pipe directly adjacent to the drain.
Easy access to Bath by bus or medium walk. Nice short walk into local village. Lovely walk over Cotswold way very close to site.
We also used the local cycle routes to Bath and Bristol and the famous 2 tunnels. Well worth a visit.
Convenient location for Bath tourism
Spent 3 nights in January 2020. It lost 1 star for not charging what is advertised
The entrance for the site is up a hill in a layby where cars park, so is quite narrow. The site itself has a single access path to the pitches and no way of turning around.
There is no drive over waste disposal as described. The CDP is up a steep slope near the owners bungalow. The pitches do each have an electric point and a water tap. Though are quite closely spaced.It is next to a secondary school so there is some noise during the day.
We received a warm welcome from the owner and a very large welcome pack of brochures.
The site itself is quite tight and the hardstanding just wide enough for a motorhome. The pitches are flat but not level, a single set of levellers might not be adequate .There were a number of other motorhomes that looked as if they were long term residents.
The site is 2 miles from Bath and close to some bus stops so great for walking in.
Driving out from the site proved problematic as we had to reverse out and overgrown bushes on the side scraped our van.
The site is in need of some tlc.
Informative visit to region for Bath & Bristol sites
We had the pleasure of a 4 night stay at this CL outside of Bath and found it an excellent base which to discover Bath and Bristol.
The information pack handed over by Merv (owner) on our arrival which included a chat about what there was on offer at the site and beyond.
The site was very well laid out with bins to segregate the rubbish and our own power and water stand at the pitch was very helpful indeed.
Should anyone require to carry out visits to Bath and Bristol which we made use of the buses as our Motorhome was to have difficulty finding suitable parking we would recommend this site.
If you have a hectic time in Bath or Bristol it is such a nice quiet site to then come back to relax.
Great base for cycling or walking as well as easiness of buses.
10 out of 10 for the reception of the owners who show a vested interest in visitors to the site.

A great location within walking distance of Bath city
We stayed for three nights on this CL, just a couple of miles from the centre of Bath. The owners provided lots of information after I booked and, on arrival, gave us a huge bundle of pamphlets and maps for the city and local area. They were very welcoming and it was good to be shown where everything was to make our stay easier.
The pitches are hardstanding with own electricity and water supply, with a large grass area alongside; we had great weather so made the most of this. The CL is close to a school and road, so some noise during the day, but very quiet at night - we heard owls and the peacocks on the site! It's a short 10 minute walk to the Park and Ride - £6 return for two adults into Bath. We also walked back from the City on one evening.
For a base to explore Bath it's a great location. We made the most of visiting museums, eating out and spent a lovely afternoon in the Thermal Spa - highly recommended!
With very friendly owners and good location, this CL is definitely worth considering.
