Here’s your opportunity to tell fellow campers all about the campsites that you know and love. Whether it’s to highlight a hidden gem of a location or praise a sensational site manager, we want to hear from you!
Think of your favourite site and how well you know it. Then imagine being able to tell someone else about some of those wonderful things that make it so special! Advice on getting there, info about the pitches, the low-down on the facilities, what there is nearby to do, see and explore... it could open up a world of possibilities to fellow campers just like you.
Your reviews are important and will be valuable to the Club and Club Members alike, so why not
get writing one now?

This was our second visit to this site. As before, we were welcomed and placed on our pitch. Realy helpful staff. We had planned to meet with some friends for two of the nights and the staff sorted out the pitches without any fuss and put them on a pitch next to ours. The site is spotless and the facilities immaculate. We have been to a number of sites and this one is one of our favourites. Its easy to get to, nice and quiet. Some great places to visit nearby and a pub right next to the site. Good old fashioned pub, simple pub grub and great local ales. We will deffinately be back.

Had a great 6 night, stay Pete and Dawn were extremely helpful, especially when we had problems with our water system, Pete and a colleague came to our rescue and fixed it for us, despite being out of normal opening hours. They were always smiling and always said hello to our little boy, remember his name.
Will definitely return for another great holiday.

This was our first visit to a Camping and Caravan site. We were both impressed by the friendliness of the staff. The Toilet block was immaculate.
With the canal right on the doorstep plenty of walking/cycling was available with Devizes not too far away.
The work being done by the Volunteers on the hedging was immpressive. I have also booked into Rhandamyn so if it is half as good we should have a great time.

Another lovely break on this site. The wardens do a fantastic job. Great location by the canal. One gripe we have recently become dog owners again after many years without and cannot believe people do not clear up after their dogs. There was a hand shovel provided at the dog field so no excuse for not having a poo bag to hand. Who do they think will clear it up?

Probably the wettest weekend of the Winter so far - yes I know there have been many - site in excellent condition given the circumstances, neat, clean, tidy & some magnificent hedgework along the canal boundary. Toilet block seemed a little small & might be an issue if busy, shower units would be better if they had a bench rather than plastic stool & more hooks. Otherwise excellent. Seemed a long way to water & waste water disposal points particularly when its raining cats a dogs. Thats the only down points really. Friendly, helpful wardens & a decent pub nearby. Loved the canal & locks (Devizes ok for half a day) & plenty of other places to see if you want a drive.

stayed over the Christmas and New Year and had a great time. Good facilities but no clubroom, or enclosed area, in which members could relax and investigate all the surrounding attractions. Wardens were so helpful and went out of their way to make sure that you had the best of stays. Weather was terrible but the constant smiles of all the staff helped to brighten
1 the dreary days.

We booked this site for our first Christmas break in the caravan and were not disappointed. The facilities were excellent - very clean and tidy showers, washrooms etc. Pete and Dawn were the perfect hosts - always on hand and would make a point of stopping for a chat to ensure that we were having an enjoyable time. Would have no hesitation in recommending this site to our friends and are certainly looking forward to visiting again in the near future. Hopefully there will be less rainfall which we understand is very unusual so that we are able to enjoy the walks along the canal. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

This was our first experience of a club site and it was outstanding! The wardens Pete and Dawn were so friendly and helpful. Pete guided us to our choice of pitch (on his cycle) checked that we were completely happy with the pitch and even help guide us reverse into the pitch. The shower/toilet block was spotless and the grounds all around the site were immaculate. The canal runs alongside the site which was lovely to walk alongside on a frosty morning. Can't wait to go back!

A very belated thankyou to Pete & Dawn for a wonderful stay at Devises site, we had our usual 3 weeks at the site in September. Although we have used the site every year since it opened, it is the very first time that I have had the urge to write a review of any kind. WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB YOU ARE DOING, it reflects on you how busy the site is, and how many repeat bookings you are getting this is down to your hard work and leadership. We look forward to seeing you both & and your staff in 2013

Andy & Roz (Club member) reviewed Devizes Club Campsite...
This is a gem of a site. We (and our border collies) love it. Wardens very helpful and friendly. A lovely situation on the banks of the canal, superb walks. It is kept very clean and tidy and there is so much to see and do in the area. Devizes is a lovely market town (very good market each Thursday) & the Bear in the market square is a must for morning coiffee. Likewise the Magpies pub has excellent reasonably priced food.
When we stayed we found that like us, everyone cleaned up after their dogs - very important - and generally we could not fault it. We love to relax and read in the morning - only problem we had to drive into Seend to buy newspapers. But only a minor point. We use this site frequently when visiting friends in the area and will continue to do so.

We have visited three times this year and love it. It's so welcoming and peaceful with some great walks nearby.
The team are fantastic (great macmillam coffee afternoon ) nothing is too much for them and they love our two trailhounds who are always fussed over. The site is beautiful, ideal for a relaxing break but near to amenities and attractions. We'll definitely be back many more times.

Superb site. Plenty of room and good lanscaping gave a more secluded feel. All facilities on site were as needed and the staff are both professional and lovely. A lot of sites have nice people who are not so skilled...
The cycle trail along the towpath makes cycling a pleasure and the 19 miles to Bath is both flat and full of different scenery. Just half way to Bradford is also worth the effort. The other way sees the 29 locks to Devizes, a town that has everything you need.
Yappy dogs not the fault of the site but owners should be more considerate at 7am when they let them out of the van.
A longer stay to take in the walks away from the canal next time.
Best combo of site and location I've found so far.

Our family have just returned from a 14 night stay at this site, and cannot praise the wardens or the site enough. Pete, Dawn and the assistant wardens could not do enough to make you feel welcome, nothing was too much trouble. The site was immaculate as they all worked extremely hard to maintain a high standard. We all enjoyed the walks down by the canal, especially our dog. The site is very well placed to visit many attractions, some of which were pointed out by the staff.
This is a site we cannot praise enough, and will visit again.
Thank you for a great holiday. Best site ever!!

Convenient for walks along canal. Easy reach of Devizes and Melksham for shopping. Pitches sizeable and very well kept. Staff always friendly, pleasant and helpful. Facilities always spotless and generally uncrowded.
Even though school holidays children were not an intrusion as there were large play areas for them. Our nervous cat was obviously quite relaxed and able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air without rushing in to the van when anyone passed by.
We will look forward to returning as soon as we can.

Five stars is not enough for this site. The team are all very helpful and friendly and clearly take a pride in the site and it shows. They go the extra mile with lovely flowers etc.
I would have made this a site for a peaceful break but too often the peace was shattered by yapping dogs whose inconsiderate owners did nothing to stop them. Even some of the other dog owners were complaining, Cannot blame the site team but perhaps a case for setting aside an area for those without dogs.

What a cracking site, the wardens were so helpful and friendly, we arrived with friends, the warden helped us to set up next to each other,which was great.
The site is lovely, clean and with hedging to make you feel more private. The towpath is very handy for walks, and there is a pub very near, which we didn't visit on this trip, but hope to next time. Our friends were so impressed with the site, that they have now joined the C&CC! Will definitely be back again soon.

This was our very first trip in our motor caravan and were obviously a little apprehensive about all the procedures for connecting the hook up, filling with water etc, but we need not have worried as we could not have found a more friendly and helpful welcome by Pete and Dawn up on arrival. Within a short while Pete had us on the pitch, gas and electric connected and a cuppa brewing. The site was immaculate. The showers, toilets and wash up facilities sparkling clean and everything to hand.
The location, adjacent to the Kennet and Avon canal with the towpath for cycling or walking could not be better. The site is just 50 yards from the Three Magpies where we had a very enjoyable evening meal.
A big thanks to Dawn and Pete for making our first overnight a pleasurable one, we will return - often.

What an excellent find. Really lovely site right next to canal. Facilities wonderfully clean, but more showers needed please - had to queue at peak time. Get rid of some of the handbasins which didn't appear to be used much. Three Magpies next door put on excellent New Year's entertainment. Would thoroughly recommend this site (and pub) and we will come back. Very peaceful but don't come if you want entertaining. If you like walking and cycling there are many opportunities.

I love this site so much I have already planned to return for Christmas 2011!
The current site manager and his team were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The facilities were spotless and could not be faulted.
It is located a few miles from my home town of Devizes where one can find a number of supermarkets, garages, restaurants, and take-aways if one does not fancy cooking.
It is next to the Kennet and Avon canal, and one can walk to the famous Caen Hill Flight of locks along the towpath just around the corner.
Apparently the site only has a very small number of grass pitches with EHU, so it is strongly advisible to book early to avoid disappointment.
I count myself very fortunate to have this lovely site so close to home.

On arrival we requested a pitch near the toilets, we were told "all our pitches are near the toilets". The pitch we were then given was about as far from the toilets as we could be on that site. They did move us when we asked (it was different people behind the reception desk) and told us that we should have requested a pitch near the toilets! Also the toilet/shower block is closed from 10.30am until 12 noon which I found very inconvenient on the day we left as I like to pack up first then shower just before we leave and it was after 10.30 when we finished packing up so no shower. Perhaps they could close the block a bit later, say from 12 to 1.30 when most people are out.
Other than that the site was very good and the staff helpfull, there is an hourly bus service to Devises which is a nice small town and fishing in the nearby canal and a pub very close by with a good selection of real ales.

Our first visit and very enjoyable. Well kept site with good shower /toilet facilities. Help from the wardens pronto when we ran into problems with our electrics!!
Good dog exercise area and walk. Dogs are allowed off lead there but quite rightly need to be under control still.
Right by the canal- great for biking into Bradford, Bath, Devizes. Caen hill flight a good challenge!! but done it in one!!
Good pub -Three Magpies with good food right at the entrance- dogs allowed in the wooded floor area. Same 20 mins walk down the canal towards Bath way - the Barge Inn where dogs also welcome in the wooden bar area.
Only gripe (a minor one) was the pitch allocated was a bit tight for maneouvring in and out of for a very long twin axle van- other pitches without people parked opposite were available.
We are planning on returning.

The site itself is really lovely, beside The kennet and Avon canal fab for cycling or walking, One moan pegging an awning on the gravel hardstanding a nightmare, The site was very well tended we booked on age concession I produced my card on request and thanked the warden for asking for proof of age!! my husband did not have his card to prove he was over 55 was asked for other proof of age, we found this rather amusing he is 67 I am 64. Still Rules is Rules, we were allowed to pick our pitch but had to be accompanied so they knew where we were, why is this country so regimented? we have just spent a month in France with the motorhome,you drive in select a site tell them the number and pay when you leave, this country really needs to lighten up.However all very friendly and the site is a credit to the wardens.

I have stayed at this site a number of times and will be back again. Pete and Dawn always give the best of welcomes, nothing is too much trouble. You always get guided to your pitch and where possible a choice.
The site is very attractive, well laid out and beautifully maintained. Something for everyone from dog walks to children's play area.
The facilities have always been clean with plenty of hot water.
The site is so well placed with the wonderful Kennet and Avon canal next door, for enjoying walks and bike rides. Next time I am going to attempt to ride to the top of the locks as I have been told there is a wonderful tea room awaiting me.
I cannot fault this site and would recommed staying here to anyone. See you again soon.

Excellent site with brilliant facilities, second to none, and warm welcome from wardens Pete & Dawn (the website needs updating - they've been there since Nov 2010). Short walk from Kennet & Avon Canal, Three Magpies pub and bus stop to Devizes. Well set-up dog exercise area which leads to a woodland walk for variety that the pooch enjoyed - and me too. Well worth the short trip (by bus or walk along tow path) to Caen Hill Locks (all 15 of them!)where there is a nice cafe at the top to replenish with good coffee, excellent bacon butties or cream tea after all the exertion (so much for the diet!). Only one sour note - the people in the caravan with an alarm who left it for the day, with the alarm going off at regular intervals from about 15 minutes after they left. Only contact number the wardens had was the home phone. No peaceful day for us or many others. Suggestion - all campers be made to leave mobile no. on booking in. The wardens did all they could. And is it really necessary to leave alarm on whilst on club site with barrier controlled entry/exit? More consideration for fellow campers please.

Arrived in the pouring rain to be greeted by friendly staff one of whom took us to our pitch-given a choice of 4 pitches. We were informed of where everything was and wished a happy stay. The site is extremely neat and tidy, loved the dividing hedges, making it feel smaller than it actually was. Took our timid elderly dog for a walk as soon as it stopped raining-only to be pounced upon by 2 collies whose owner felt he didnt need to observe the 'all dogs to be kept on a lead' rule. I wonder how many other rules these people break? The facility block was 5 star-the hot water was plentiful and they always clean whatever time of the day we used them. The weather improved the next morning and plenty of cycling walking and fishing (by hubby)along the canal filled the coming week.The walk into Devizes was lovely and Caen Hill Flight is one of the most amazing sights we've ever seen. We would definately return here again. As our children have grown up,we always book Sun-Fri on non 'Adult Only' sites as we enjoy the peace and quiet, this site proved just that-peaceful and quiet. Thank you to all the hard working staff-we returned to Norfolk very refreshed :)

This site is not actually in Devizes, but in the village of Sells Green. The site is nicely situated between the Kennet & Avon canal and the Three Magpies pub.
It is a nice clean site with friendly helpful wardens. Toilets and showers however are unfortunately closed between 10:30 and Noon, but are well maintained and very clean. A small shop is on site in Reception selling essentials only. A treelined site with mainly hardstanding pitches. Beware - these pitches are hard, very hard. When booking I expected to put my motorhome on the hardstanding (no problem) but to erect my Awning on the ajacent grass. No! The wardens insisted that the awning was on the gravel hardstanding as well :o( The hardstanding areas are so hard that rock pegs are needed. The one we were shown was like concrete under the initial layer of gravel and we couldn't get our ordinary pegs in. The satellite image on Google maps appears to show some awnings on the grass so some change of rules by the management has occurred, if this is no longer allowed. After complaining about this we were allowed to park on a totally grassed area and a long lead was provided for us for our electric hookup. This was much better. Thanks to the wardens for helping us out.

It was a pleasure to visit this site, all the staff made our stay very enjoyable. The place is kept very clean. The only downside in April is the falling willow tree blossom which makes a lot of mess so select your pitch well but this. We pitched our tent on a hard standing base and was surprised how much nicer this was to grass. You’ll find plenty to do and a walk along the canal to Devizer’s is a must. It’s approximately 3 miles but you can catch a bus back if you don’t fancy the walk. There is a local pub within walking distance but I’m not a fan of Wadsworth beer and this is about all you can get for miles. Do venture out in the car; there is plenty to be had. Or just laze around on-site. Oh, and don’t speed on-site... ha ha. Top site and we’d visit again.

We were given a very warm welcome by the wardens when we arrived. To the point he showed us several pitches and advised against certain positions of our tent. Very helpful.
The site was level and kept well, great washing up and laundry facilities.
The only downside for us was that although the washrooms were clean when the wardens had been round they need sorting out again at the end of the day in high season, as by the morning they were less than desirable.
We also found children were still playing on the play equipment at 10pm. Wouldn't have been a problem in itself but the fact they were shouting and screaming was not amusing.

This is a lovely site, next to the Kennet and Avon canal. It's a nice easy, hour-long walk into Devizes town along the canal tow-path. For public transport, the bus stops about 50 yards outside the site entrance, perfect! Nice flat site with good amenities, although I found the toilet block a little chilly first thing in the morning, but that's probably me! A pub serving food is almost immediately outside the site entrance but the nearest shop is a drive away. Staff very friendly and helpful, always ready for a chat and a laugh, great!
