We just returned from a 5 day stay at this wonderful and friendly campsite. We have been coming here for about 9 years now which proves how much we love it! The staff were really friendly and chatty and able to help you when needed! The campsite is big, peaceful and enjoyable place to be. Because of the cold weather... More

We decided on a spontaneous camping trip to enjoy the last of the summer!! We originally were planning on going to Avon Tyrrell but drove in there, drove round and drove back to Holmsley. On arrival we were greeted by friendly (but clearly tired) people and were given a map so we could choose where to pitch for the night...... More

Stayed 3 nights this years late August bank holiday. Predictably it was rammed and tents were pitched too close together with no sign of this being policed but that was to be expected I suppose. Facilities however were pretty good for a campsite and the shop was reasonably priced for most items unless you wanted beans and cereal. Bags of... More

Be warned - this is a massive site with 600 pitches and it was full when we took our break this August Bank Holiday weekend. There is a lot of grass but equally quite a bit of concrete as it used to be an airbase. It is an isolated site but don't expect peace and tranquility as there always seemed... More

We tented for the weekend in a group of 3 tents and paid for premium sites (with power). The reception and booking was ready for our arrival and adequate information given re the site. Because sites were free not as specified areas we found other campers quite territorial when additional tents were erected in 'their area' and there was a... More

Although i had pre booked, I was made to wait on arrival, the rest of the very long queue seemed to get in just fine though. After considerable time the rude man told me he couldn't help and I needed to go to the shop, where they had my booking to hand. Apparently I should have just gone straight there.... More

Just back from Homesley campsite having spent a fantastic weekend. We were 2 very unseasoned campers who arrived late on the Friday just as it was getting dark. We borrowed a tent so the chances of us getting it up with our little or no experience was now dashed. I went to reception to see if someone could help. I... More

I stayed here with a group of other mums and kids. There was 11 of us in total with 4 tents. We got there around 12pm and there were not many places left to pitch as a group. Managed to find a spot right at the back but its a bit like parking on a roundabout with all the concrete... More
