Wonderful weekend

Very nice site with large pitches, well spaced out. Each pitch has it’s own table and benches, a really good touch. If you want a personal welcome to the site you will be disappointed as the owners live off site and booking and payment is done via email and bank transfer (not a problem for us). All the facilities are easily located so no need for a site tour. The wood and dog walks are excellent as is access to the public rights of way next to the site. There is noise from the railway and shooting range but certainly not enough to detract from the beauty of the site and will not stop us from returning. There is wildlife around which call out during the night and at dawn, but for us that adds the the experience of staying in the country. The site is secure with a padlocked gate entrance, however, we couldn’t get out when it was time to leave! The padlock had broken and neither we, nor the two other vans behind us could get it open. We rang the site owner who was very quickly out to resolve the situation so no major drama. Good to know that if there is a problem they are straight out to sort it. If you are happy with a non EHU site this is one to visit. We will be back.

Bluebell wood is a great peaceful Cl

Brilliant week here very quiet and peaceful with plenty of space and choice of pitches, set in woodlands. We loved that each pitch is hard standing, and has a bench table on it. There is a barn here which has 3 areas in it, one is set out as a seating socialising area, the middle one has a toilet and sink, and 3rd used as a storage. Very nice owner came to cut the walk grass. The walks are lovely and you can walk through to the national Trust park next door. Lots of blackberries so several other campers and myself made crumbles with them. We will definitely be back.

Shame

This should be a fantastic site. It’s hard standing in the middle of woodland, with great walks directly out from it and its own woodland too. The issue of the noise from the wild trekkers campsite has been sorted as the road through has been blocked now meaning the CL site is a dead end now. There is plenty of space and lots of wildlife. BUT and it’s a big but, there is a shooting range (presumably on the same site) that starts at 10am each day. This meant it was impossible to stay on the site during the day owing to the incessant noise from constant shooting. We also had a dog with us that was scared witless and shaking. I think the owner should also let people know in advance to expect this too.

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for your review. We just want to reassure you that the noise is not from a shooting range and it is not onsite. It actually comes from a neighbour who very occasionally does clay pigeon shooting for a short period of time. We are sorry that this disturbed you during your stay.

Nice site shame about the woodland campers

Have had several lovely weekends at this site but on the last occassion there was a constant to and froing of vehicles passing the pitches to access an area of the woodland which has now been sold off and being used by people wild camping/living in the woods. It made us wary of leaving our van for security reasons as we were the only ones on the CL, as we also noted they left the main gate open on occasions . We also observed them using the CL site facilities, which is not ideal.

Camping in the forest

Loved our stay here had such a peaceful relaxed weekend. Hard standing pitches where you can park where you like surround by your own forest (we did see deer in the forest) Very secure site as it is locked once you go in with a padlock. The only facilities on site is a toilet in the large barn which also has a large wooden table & chairs in another room perfect if the weather turns nasty, lovely idea. It is such a peaceful site but as others have mentioned there is slight road noise but this did not affect us at all. Beautiful walks through the forest to the NT grounds and then on to the local pub in the village which is well worth a visit. It was amazing to open up the doors in the morning and be so close to nature. Will definitely be returning to this site.

Ruined by selfish caravaner with noisy generator!

The title says it all. If you're a caravaner and can't survive without electric hookup why come to this site and feel the need to run a very noisy generator ruining the potential peace and quiet of this site. Very selfish behaviour. If you need a generator then buy decent one that is a lot quieter or don't run one at all.

A Secret Gem

It was tempting not review this as I wanted to keep it a secret! However, once through the gate you are in a different world. So lovely & peaceful despite road noise during the day. It is a simple but clever idea to have an indoor sitting area in the barn for inclement weather & those chilly evening get togethers. Individual large hard standings give a feeling of privacy. I will definitely be back in other seasons. The Caravan & Motorhome Club sign could do with moving closer to the road, as both myself & my sister missed the turning first time. It would also help if it said Bluebell Wood.

What a place 😊

We recently stayed at this lovely site. To wake up in the morning and open the caravan door and be greeted by a deer was lovely . The room and pitch sizes were big. Another added bonus was the barn, where if there was a group of you, you all could get together comfortably, where there is tables and chairs provided which was another tick in the box for this site for me . There is also a toilet in the other section of the barn. Nice to be camped in the centre of a wood . We had some nice walks and would definitely come back again. Thank you very much Bluebell Wood.

Peaceful !

A minimalist site, perfect for our stay of one night. Easy to find and access. The pitches are large, flat and well spaced, set in lovely natural woodland surroundings. You are free to walk the woods, which are blanketed in bluebells in May. The deer are curious and watch you from only a slight distance. Some distant traffic noise in the day but pin drop quiet at night. The site owner was very responsive and a breeze to deal with.

The amazing Bluebell woods

Have just returned from this newly established CL site, and have to say it is absolutely fantastic. Set in a fabulous woodland area, ideally located for jaunts to Stonehenge, Salisbury and it’s market and cathedral etc, through the woods you can walk to Phillips house and it’s grounds which is a national trust property.whilst this is a non electric site, it has running water and a toilet as well as chemical and waste disposal area. You also have the added bonus of a barn area which is ideal for sitting in on those slightly chillier evenings. I will most definitely be going back there again. Well done Keith and Robin.
