Definitely worth the stay.

The site is quiet and has lovely views. It’s away from the built up area so star gazing is a must. On a nice clear night the stars are amazing with a great sunset too. There are a few great pubs on the common and the most amazing ice cream factory. A local hit! The hosts are a lovely couple that always have time to say morning if passing by. We stayed for a couple of weeks and the site felt safe. As you are on the common the natural beauty is on your door step.

Small, noisy at times, security issues, location excellent

This is a small site, with corresponding smaller than average pitches. It is located off the owner’s drive and it feels like you are staying in a lay-by. It abuts a school playing field, so can be noisy during the day. Also the groundsmen start early. The gate into the drive isn’t locked and although it’s a private driveway we came back one day to cars parked on our pitch. It didn’t feel safe to leave chairs or shoes outside, or even put our awning up. On the plus side, pub in town is great within walking distance. Site is convenient for local attractions .We didn’t meet the owners.

Very nice, but a bit misleading for us.

Nice site, tucked into a corner by the owners drive. 5 pitches that are smaller than average, about 10m between each one. You would need a 20m hookup lead if you were on the first or last pitch. Each have Gravel pitches, that are about the size of a vehicle. Nice open field one site, and the school sports pitch on the other. It was misleading for us, as this website quoted £16 a night, but we were charged £20. We’ve paid less than that for more facilities and space on other sites. Plus, the site advert suggests you can get food from their catering business, well I asked but no response. No warm welcome, didn’t see or hear from anyone. Very nice location though, in 100m you are on open common, and 0.8 mile to the village shops.

Up on the common - watch for Horses

Nice quite site within easy walking distance of quaint Minchinhampton and it's unique Church and pub. Great food at the pub which is recently refurbished but retains old world look and has it's own beer brand !! . Site itself is on old Alpaca farm but only Donkeys now there. Very personable owners. Rubbish, grey water and chem disposal. Water on entry. EHU on pitch which are all HS. Great walks if you fancy over the common. Very quiet at night. If you're looking for a quiet stop over night, missing the queues on the M5 past Bristol, with a good pub within walking distance, then this is it. Note that best route South is via Batch ring road that since early 2021 Bath operates a charge for entering the "Clean Air Zone". Private cars and motorcycles are exempt from the charge but check how your Moho is registered as it may incure a charge or worse be V5's as a commercial vehicle which attracts a heavy charge ! A short detour towards Bristol and bypassing Bath is the best bet, a bit of fuel but much less than the CAZ charge.

Can't fault it

Really enjoyed our 6 nights at this super site. Services were all easily accessible, all hard standing pitches, level site, owners live on site, very friendly although we hardly saw them! Right on the common (free range cattle and horses but a cattle grid prevented them joining us). Lovely area and the bonus was the 4 friendly donkeys who love carrots, we will return again soon.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Lovely site, peaceful and relaxing. The only noise was made by the donkeys. Plenty of walking nearby and lovely people on site. Able to choose our pitch and plenty of space to park and site outside. There is a pub within walking distance, however due to covid they were only taking booked in customers.

Peaceful and well maintained

A stay of two nights on this well maintained site. Gravel hard standing - you might need a block to totally level up. we noticed others using them. We overshot the entrance and ended up half a mile away in Minchinhampton, which looked interesting and picturesque to explore at a future date. The donkeys were delightful and enjoyed a bag of carrots over 2 nights. We were lucky to see stunning sunsets each evening - will certainly use this site again when in the area.

Immaculate welcoming site

Wonderful little CL immaculately presented with near level 5 pitches, four cotswold gravel and one grass. Access to the site via decent sized turn (probably best approached from the common, not Minchinhampton itself) between two stone posts. Facilities all kept very clean, tidy and fully functional, including recycling bins. Owner makes a point of coming to greet you on arrival and is very welcoming. Website description completely accurate. Literally walk out of the gate and step onto Minchinhampton Common. Worth noting that the common is quite breezy being relatively high but the CL is part sheltered by interference fencing and some trees. Paddock opposite the pitches with three very fine horses (at least while we were there). The Old Lodge (10 mins walk) is a very spacious inn with beer garden(s) - great beer and really good food - recommend the breakfast! Tremendous access to all points of the compass via the common - minor downside is that you do hear invitable traffic but it really is minor in comparison to the gain of such close access to the common! We loved bringing our van here and will certainly visit again.
