Bristol Camping

A no-frills family farm campsite just north of Bristol where the woodland blooms with bluebells and the chickens wander wherever they like.

Bristol Camping sits on a 200-acre arable farm in South Gloucestershire, run by Annalisa and Oakleigh with the kind of hands-on care that has owners responding to shower queries at 9pm. The woodland edge delivers genuine seasonal spectacle: bluebells, wood anemones, orchids, and Goldilocks buttercups in spring, with sunsets filtering through the canopy all summer.

Pitches are grass, screened by hedgerows, with water taps and metered electric hookup available (bring £1 coins). Showers and toilets serve both the main field and the seasonal campervan meadow. The site runs on a self-check-in lockbox system and is sometimes unattended, but the owners are reliably reachable. Chickens and turkeys roam freely, which children find delightful and most adults do too.

The location is deliberately practical: 1.5 miles from M5 junction 16, which means Bristol city centre, Wild Place, the Wave, and SS Great Britain are all within easy reach. The Lands' End to John O'Groats cycle route passes nearby. At around £12.50 per person per night, this is one of the most honest-priced sites in the South West, and that price includes the woodland, the farm animals, and the host who shows up when you need them.
