Hello everyone, Sam here posting on behalf of Blackland Lakes.
Some very nice reviews recently so thank you. I'm really pleased that you have enjoyed our site. All of us here at Blackland Lakes take great pride in working on a very beautiful park and are delighted when it is enjoyed by our visitors.
We can't always get it right but we try very hard to amend any problems raised. Justpassing - I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing stay. You may be glad to hear that the play bark has been replenished, the main shower block has had a refurbishment with wet room showers added and all the locks and handles have been checked. Deep cleaning is underway, ready for reopening, and our cleaning schedule is being reviewed for busy periods. Also, in response to your comments about the noise, I assure you that, although there was a drumming workshop taking place that evening, they did stop at 9pm and the loud music that continued until late was coming from a wedding party in the village at least a mile away! We considered complaining ourselves but such an event is very rare and has not happened since. '
Many other improvements have been made over the last six months and I'm sure that, as always, the vast majority will enjoy their holiday with us this year.

I have stayed at this site twice as part of a rally and was very impressed overall. It is an ideal base for places of local interest such as Lacock and Avebury (the latter an easy journey back onto the road). It's also a short walk into Calne where you can visit shops/supermarkets and banks if needed.
The campsite itself is secure, clean and well laid out. We had a whole paddock to ourselves which was clean and neat. The owner was extremely accommodating and permitted us to dig out the turf for a fire pit which I thought was very obliging and a kind thought as there were many of us at the rally. We had no children with us though I can see it would be child friendly and there was a playground in use there. We were also permitted to use the large BBQ covered area which was ideal in the evenings.
The ablution facilities are plentiful and I didn't have to queue up as I have had to do at some other sites. The water was hot and I enjoyed my morning showers after a cold night or two in the tent! There's nothing fancy but everything was perfectly adequate for our needs.
This is a really well run campsite and I would definitely recommend it to others.

First time I have left a review but wanted to praise this site.
It is a really lovely, beautiful site, immaculately clean and well kept.
We have just returned from a weekend in the school holidays and whilst it was busy, there was plenty of space and it was quiet which with 2 small children going to bed earlier was ideal. Large pitches did not feel confined.
Toilet/shower facilities were very clean and no queues.
The shop is well stocked and is reasonably priced.
Our children only used the play park once however it was well received and well used by others.
Staff very friendly and very helpful.
Would definitely recommend and will return.

Ok I want to like this site because of the location, however I do have to criticize the facilities. I have been camping (in a tent, this is our first trip in our new caravan) for only 5 years but this is the first time I have ever come across what I can only describe as GRIM shower blocks. Luckily we had a shower in our caravan so used that throughout our stay. Our fellow campers in tents & motorhome also agreed it was not the cleanest site they had been to.
There was a rally field which had been booked out to a party of approx 25 - 30 tents and the noise of drums carried on well into the night. Management the next morning put signs up stating the noise was due to a local wedding reception, but this was just not true as we were in the field next to the party.
The staff were 'frosty' on arrival and during our stay. I'm gutted to leave a review as poor as this because it was my idea to book our group there.
Perhaps if the price was reduced to reflect the facilities but its £20 per unit per night seem steep. I've been to sites with dated toilets, but they have always been spotless no matter what the age of the building. These had no door locks, few door handles. One lady even got stuck in the toilet because the handle came off in her hand.
The park is not suitable for under 5's as the bark has all but disappeared and the swings are hanging at a wonky angle. Our 2 year old could not play safely.
So I will not be returning or recommending.
What can I say good about this campsite. If you like fishing and are not worried about the toilet facilities then this is for you!

I wanted to say how good this site is.
After a really bad camping experience about 10 years ago I vowed I wouldn't ever camp again. Then some friends were organising a rally and I wanted to be part of it.
I was so impressed with the whole site that I have now booked to camp there again (my 3rd time). I've been on other sites that were considered to be more modern but they seem to have less loos and showers than at Blacklands. In the two weeks I've stayed there (May 2011 and May 2012) I didn't have to queue for a shower or loo. Not even once!
I agree with another reviewer on the point of the washbasins being a bit high for us shorter people (I'm 5'1') but there are plenty of them and there are little stools provided. The lighting in the shower block could be a little better but it was adequate.
The staff at Blacklands were helpful and cheerful. And the grass was kept really well cut.
I don't think the site is suitable for small children unless they are supervised at all times as there are a few lakes. And older children should be sensible and warned of the dangers of water. There is a small playground suitable for 5 to 12 year olds.
Calne is a walkable distance and has lots of eating places. And we had takeaways delivered right to the Blacklands gate entrance too.
I love it at Blacklands and will be returning again in 2013. And most likely in 2014 too

I have stayed at Blacklands for the past three years as part of a rally and found it a great site.
We base ourselves there for getting out to Avebury and Glastonbury and find it easy acess to get to nearby supermarkets when we need to stock up on food.
We have always been given paddock 9 (this year all to ourselves) and this year we were even permitted to have a campfire with the wood provided~all we had to do was mark out and roll out the turf and put it back to as it was when we left (we watered it too to make sure the grass was happy!.
Not having children I cannot pass comment but I did enjoy the peace that does not come with having loads of children around (sorry to parents out there!)~there is a small playground that was used by the few children were on the site but I imagine if parents wanted lots for their kids they would find a site with more attractions for them.
The facilities are good as per the AA three pennants it has been awarded. Okay so they are not super plush but way better than some sites facilities I have used over the past 13 years camping
They were clean and functional and getting spruced up a bit which is always a good thing.
I used the sites facilities once for a shower but as I have a camper with a sink and portable loo I use my on-board facilities and give myself a good wash down in the sink.
I love how peaceful the site is and being in the paddock we get to enjoy the views and the lake behind us.
All in all a good site for peace and relaxing!
