Nice site with all the usual facilities. Friendly staff. Pizza van on a Friday tea time. Good walk into Salisbury (20 mins) and great walk up to the Old Sarum. Photo from the Old Sarum, campsite in distance. Closer than it looks. Just stayed one night, could have done two.

Great camping here. Good clean facilities with plenty of hot water. Beautiful outlook to Old Sarum and across the valley. Easy walk or bus into Salisbury centre.

Nice campsite, friendly wardens, clean facilities, convenient for town - either walk along the river 30-40mins or jump on Bus at the top of the road. Hudson field is great for dogs although it is used for sports so pick up after you. The harvester is 5 mins walk away and you can access Old Sarum via Hudson field too. Some pitches need levellers as they are on a slight slope.
