We have revisited this site again (previously June 2014)
This is a working farm and a Caravan Club CL it is directly opposite the actual farm, as this is a working farm, you need to enjoy the “fresh” aroma. Horse riding stables are also close by.
This site is approx ¾ acres flat grass pitches (some small levelling blocks were needed though) they are in a line but well spaced out, with three hard standings at the first three pitches. Each pitch had its own water tap and EHU point. Facilities for recycling are available with chemical empty point with water tap for flushing (See photo below right). Note if you intend to use your Aquaroll mains water adaptor (7-metre pipe should be adequate). Waste grey water is emptied in the hedge so take plenty of grey waste water pipe as well.
There are now dog walking facilities on site, so owners no longer need to exercise them down the lane.

Great care is needed when using the site approach road; it is very narrow so the arrival “after 12.00” really needs to be adhered to.
The Slimbridge Wetlands is “a must” if you like birds (feathered type See below) Well worth the £13.10 each admission fee, and can be walked to (1 mile) from site, parking is free at Slimbridge Wetlands.
There is a pub called the Tudor Arms which serves food each day, we walked to the canal and along the towpath nearby and then back to the pub for lunch before walking back (approx 40mins each way along the back road).
We did encounter some “loud music” during our stay this time, not sure if it was from the farm or other nearby farms or from the Beer Fest held on land adjacent to the Wetlands Wildlife, but thankfully it quietened down at midnight.
Very friendly owners, they leave you well alone. They have just opened a small shop in the village for essential shopping.
Tesco’s is in Cam along with fuel stations
I would still recommend this site despite the music noise.
