Riverside Camping Near Trowbridge

Looking to camp by the river in Trowbridge? You’ve got over 500 riverside options to choose from, ranging from £11 a night for a simple pitch to an average of £130 if you’re after something with a few extra comforts. Campsites here put you close to the water—think lazy afternoons with your feet in the river, rods out for fishing, and wildlife popping by as you sip your tea. Favourites like Radcot Leisure on Thames (97 reviews), Frome Meadow Campsite (62 reviews), and Snelling Farm Campsite (46 reviews) keep things simple but functional—expect toilets, showers, and often a campfire spot. You’ll find plenty of places where you can watch kingfishers dart by, fish for your dinner, or even head out horse riding. Pack your wellies and a torch—the riverbanks here get muddy and dark once the sun dips, but that’s half the fun. Rubbish facilities are usually on site, so leave no trace and keep the rivers clean for the next camper.

2 nights at Panpwnton Campsite

We have just come back from a campervan 2 night trip to Panpwnton Campsite. We had a lovely time, it was very quiet as we were the only ones staying…. Probably due to the weather! This meant we got a great spot right next to the river which was perfect. The facilities were good. The location was great. We did a walk straight from the site on to part of Offa Dykes path and along to the Knuclas viaduct, great views along the way. We had thought we might get the train back just for fun, but they don’t run very often (would have been a 2hr wait) so walked back instead. Site also easy walking distance to the local pub for an evening meal which was good too. Very Dark walk back that evening meant for some great star gazing:-)

Panpwnton Farm is a lovely campsite. Very clean toilets and wash up facilities. I didn't use the showers as I only stayed a couple of nights, however they were spacious. I will definitely be returning for a longer stay. It's a lovely walk from the campsite to Knighton, alongside the river. Trains do pass right along the side of the site but it didn't bother me or my dog. Easy access to Offa's Dyke.
