Our main Caravan Site (Site 1) is next to the River Avon in Monkton Park, just a short walk away from the Olympiad Leisure Centre. This is for CARAVANS ONLY.
The main Camp Site (Site 3) is on Westmeads playing fields. A good level field just a short walk from the town centre. This site is mainly for tents but caravan and campervans are permitted if you have a mix of units. Parking is allowed on the field, except in bad weather. There will be catering on the site for breakfasts and late suppers.
Unfortunately, the alternative caravan site at the College (site 2) is still unavailable. Caravans and Campervans not able to get onto Site 1 (Monkton Park) will have to go onto Site 3 (Camp Site).
