Brokerswood Country Park - Wiltshire
Am I right in thinking that Brokerswood Country Park used to have a small section dedicated to the caravan club? What happened to it, I thought it was CL style in terms of a 5 van restriction.

There's currently no mention on their website of it being a CL although it does have caravan/camping facilities still.

Looks like the focus of the park has changed and they no longer allow local visitors in on a day basis like they did. Such a shame and probably explains why there is no CC section now.

I remember spending a lovely day out there, when the children were young. I can remember thinking it would be a nice place to stay.

Catherine - if you're looking for somewhere local can I suggest Stowford Manor Farm just down the road from you. A very peaceful place down by the river (if you avoid the moto-X events!) , all grass and with basic loo/shower facilities but lovely on a warm weekend. And great cream teas at the farmhouse!

Looking now, we already have withdrawl symptoms and are looking to go out again in the next couple of weeks before we go to Plough Lane again.

Moulesy any other suggestions? I'm looking for just 2 nights and somewhere that would allow arrivals up to say 8pm? I've just looked at the other clubs site at Devizes, my goodness that's very pricey!

Ah, you obviously are too young to qualify for the C&CC's age concession rate then Catherine!
A couple if ideas - right next to the C&CC site at Devizes is the 3 Magpies pub which has a large level caravan field behind the pub. We stayed there some years ago, quite basic and has toilet and, I think, shower facilities.
Near Longleat, there's a site at East Woodlands that we've used before now, full facility site but very quiet, think it's called 3 acres, but will have to go back and check that.
Let me know what you decide!
Edit - just checked, it's at West Woodlands near Frome and is called 7 acres - that's inflation for you!

Have you stayed at Picadilly?

catherine, we've stopped at Barrow Farm, Rode, (No.1468 in S.D.) which might suit you. It was fine for us. You could ask if you could stop late, I guess.

catherine, if you go just take care driving down into the site as the entrance is on a slope. Have you ever read or seen the film series "The Suspicions of Mr Whitcher". The first film, The Murder at Road Hill House, was based on the real-life Constance Kent murder case of 1860, as interpreted by Kate Summerscale in her 2008 book The Suspicions of Mr Whicher or The Murder at Road Hill House. The murder took place in a house just up the road from the site.
