No where to walk to as on busy road

This is a lovely peaceful site with beautiful views over Salisbury countryside. The wardens were lovely and very helpful with any queries. On the down side - The lower part of the site is under trees and therefore feels dark. The dog walk, which is the only walk from the site, is overgrown and not very pleasant to walk through. It’s too dangerous to walk along the road as there are no pavements and the traffic is fast.

Peaceful, but Remote Stay

Really nice little site, with cosy pitches and very quiet. Seems several pitches are given over to long term caravan storage, which makes it even quieter! The team were excellent and the shop was well stocked with useful items and food. The site is quite remote and the bus service is very limited (no service on Sundays or Public Holidays), the public footpath is not well maintained and is very overgrown with nettles and brambles plus an odd fallen tree. Definitely one for the grown ups who want to escape to a secluded site.

Lovely site - nice and peaceful

We stayed here last week (end of May). It was the first time for us. Its a lovely site, especially if you are in the wooded area. Waking up to bird song every morning was great. Facilities were clean and the staff really friendly. I would recommend a visit as its located in a good place between Winchester and Salisbury. We'll certainly book again next time we are in the area.

Short break

Another excellent stay at the site, beautiful location, relief staff on site very helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble. My only issue is due to the covid restrictions the showers were closed, which I don't fully understand, I can use the toilets in the same room as the showers, every other toilet blocked off but unable to use the shower the same way, I'm not sure if this is the governments lack of clarity or the Club at fault. Seems ludicrous that I can drive a few miles away and use service area showers but can't use a shower facility on site in the same room as a toilet.

Peaceful Retreat.

Just a few words. I love this site it's not too big, the wardens are really helpful. This is my 2nd visit with a caravan previous visits have been with a motorhome. Last year I owned a Luna Ariva I found it to be rather small you may think that odd for a lady who's on her own. Now the proud owner of a Coachman Kimberley with motormovers. I was on plot 15 & next to me was a CCRV Sabre Silhouette a big beast. The owner a lovely gentleman came out with a brolly & offered to help me just goes to show chivalries not dead. A great place to visit is the Milestone Living History Museum in Basingstoke. The Army Air Museum is just along the road towards Andover. Looking forward to returning next year. Sheila Benton

Description of the site is misleading.

As a previous reviewer has pointed out, the photos create an impression of a nice open site, it isnt. Roughly two thirds of the pitches are in small clearings in the middle of a wood. A lot do not get any sun for most of the day, and some would prove very difficult to pitch up onto without the use of a motor mover. The pitch we had got no direct sunlight, and was so short that it felt like we were in a layby with passing vehicles just a couple of feet front the front of our van. There is a CL next to the site that I wish we had found. It is open with stunning views, and the next time we head towards Salisbury that is where we will stay. The site is well placed for local touring and very well kept. The wardens were very friendly and helpful.

Camping under trees

The majority of this site is in a mature wood, high trees blocking sunlight and sunny pitches being for seasonal booking. The photographs on the web site only show the field adjacent to the facilities and are misleading. Ironically there is a CL in the next field which has fabulous uninterrupted views. The CL vans were closer to the club site toilet block than our pitch! We were in a clearing of 4 pitches, the best two being seasonal pitches. If you don’t like camping under trees this is not the site for you.

Over night stop

Stayed for 1 night on route to the West Country. Arrived about 6.30 pm and met by a pleasant warden. This site is very small and accessible on and off some pitches is a challenge , a motor mover is a godsend . Access road narrow and site facilities clean and tidy.

Good location for Salisbury and wide soft rolling Wiltshire landscape

We stayed here in the 2nd week of September 2020 for 4 days, and were happy with our experience. The facilities were run Covid Secure and the staff were more than helpful and friendly. The lead photo on the site is where we moved to on our 2nd day as it was more suited to our tastes - as most of the site is on a tight loop on the hillside in amongst trees and was a bit too shady for us. Finding the right spot that will be in the sun at the chosen time of day is pretty tricky so if you want the best location get there early. I was thrilled to find the Army Air museum is just 6 mins by car down the road in "The Wallops"! and it is only about 10 / 15 mins out of the centre of Salisbury. The CL site right next door has wide open vista's and is appealing but of course not all the facilities of the main site. The dog walk is attractive and while narrow gives vista's over lovely countryside. Herbs are available growing outside the reception. Thankyou! A good transit stop and fine for a short stay. Thank you to the staff for all their help.
