Lovely stay
Stayed here over the Bank Holiday weekend. Although it is a small site the pitches are a good size. There is a decent dog walk next to the site. Found the wardens helpful and friendly. Will definitely return.

En route to Cornwall
We stopped over here for 2 nights on our way down and one on the way back. A delightful site with lovely views. Private and peaceful. Easy access to
Stonehenge. Wardens most helpful. Not a large site, so don't expect Wi Fi and newspapers. Mobile signal is good (4g).

Lovely stay but location is main issue
Stayed over a week here and the site is lovely with pitches over many levels and it feels very private. Most of the pitches are surrounded by trees and shrubs. The showers are clean as usual for the Caravan Club and the shop sells a variety of items but not newspapers. The only issue with the site is the location. Although you can walk around a mile and a half there and back on the dog walk anywhere further the roads are very busy. The road when driving up to the site is also very busy so care needs to be taken entering and leaving the site. Staff are as usual with the CC very good and friendly.
nice little gem
I really liked this site. The wardens were friendly, the facilities were clean. The pitches were either on a top field or set in groups of 4 and 5 in little areas within the trees. The surrounding area is very picturesque and although we only stayed for 2 nights I would have happily stayed for longer. It may not be for families as there did not seem to be play areas and the like and it is quite an uphill walk from some parts to the shower block. A great find and a site we will definitely return to.
Friendly
Lovely friendly wardens,very welcoming,great field to exercise dogs,super roomy hot showers. Visited Salisbury,fabulous cathedral and old part of city. Stone henge was amazing and a visit to Avebury to see the huge stone circle,very impressive. Only there 2 nights from 4th Aug.
beautiful site
We had a lovely 3 day stay here from the 29th of July and what a beautiful little site with good clean facilities and friendly wardens. Not a family sith tho with active children but perfect for couples wanting to relax. Salisbury is a nice City with a lovely Cathedral and a nice selction of shops, we will be visiting here again,
Nice little site
We were 3 adults; a middle-aged couple and our son came for a few nights whilst we were there. This site is very quiet and peaceful, about half way between Andover and Salisbury. There is nothing around to make any noise apart from helicopters and a few light aircraft from the Museum of Army Flying - which is a fascinating place.
It seems very few families with little children go to this site which make it ideal for those who have done that bit and don't want kids running around any more. But it is a shame, we quite like watching them play. We went for a week in the summer hols, which seemed unusual, many people seemed to go for only a night or 2 on their way to the IoW or cross-Channel ferries. We saw only 1 family with children!
We wanted to explore the area around Salisbury and this site was ideal for that. Salisbury itself, Old Sarum, Stonehenge, New Forest, Winchester all reachable by car.
Eating out: the towns, of course, and village pubs as well. We found the Grosvenor Hotel in Stockbridge was excellent - again, reachable by car.
Facilities; exactly what you would expect from a CC site. they have built a new loo block since our last visit about 10-12 years ago with proper-sized showers in. All clean and nice.
Wardens - very good, chatty, friendly - other reviewers did not find this but none of us had any problem with any of them. We were asked to move our car from the side of our van to the front to make more space for a disabled unit to come in but he was perfectly nice about it and it was no problem at all.
Would I go again? YES, unreservedly - if only for another jar of very nice local honey from the Warden's little shop!

It's a hit from us...
A small site in overall terms of acreage, but the individual pitches are well spread around the club site and offered many different options. We have two dogs so we went for a location that only had 2 pitches available and was at the bottom of the hill and turned out to be very quiet with the only traffic being tens passing to either find a pitch or leave; dogs loved it.
There is only 1 wash/toilet block and from our location was the furthest from it, but still only a couple of minutes to walk to. They were kept cleaned and well presented and although there was only 3 cubicles (toilet, shower etc) we never had to queue to use them.
The wardens were very cheerful and helpful, always making the effort to say hello and ask after us; definitely not the jobs worth type.
Excellent location to visit the sites around Wiltshire with none being more than half an hour driving away. There are loads of places to visit and we didn't manage to visit all of them so will look forward to paying this site another visit.
We would certainly recommend this site for members to visit, but then again perhaps not; we might not be able to get a pitch...
Lovely peaceful site
what a find , a lovely small quite peaceful site , wardens are great , site is well maintained & looked spotlessly clean , showers & toilet block are more than adequate.
position is ideal for trips to new forest , south coast & anywhere within 50 miles radius.
we found some quaint towns & villages with plenty of places to visit & numerous places to eat out .
we stayed 6 nights on a pitch that was equal to size & quality as chatsworths super pitches .
please disregard any negative feedback about this site , sometimes people don't really know a good thing when they see it
