  • Dog-friendly site surrounded by countryside five miles from Winchester
  • A 15-minute drive to Mottisfont and 35 minutes from Stonehenge
  • Playground, games field and dog exercise area; firepit hire, logs sold
This is a peaceful campsite that welcomes families and dogs to its level and well-kept pitches, which are sheltered by mature trees and hedgerows. With facilities including hot showers and flushing toilets – plus a playground, games field, dog exercise field and footpath to a local country park – Folly Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a tiptop place to stay in the gorgeous Hampshire countryside. How to unwind here? Well, there are plenty of spots around the site to let your hair down (thanks to its peaceful and level grassy pitches, play areas, wifi, free showers and walks in the surrounding woodlands) but you’ll have your choice of many a day out from here too. Perhaps a venture into the South Downs National Park (10 minutes’ drive)? Into the vibrant city of Winchester (15 minutes) for its historic sites, such as the medieval cathedral, the ruins of Wolvesey Castle, the working 18th-century corn mill, Jane Austen’s house or the castle’s medieval round table, once sat at by King Arthur? From Winchester, there’s a short stroll along the water meadows of the river Itchen down to England’s oldest medieval almshouse and The Hospital of St Cross or the 25-minute ascent to St Catherine’s Hill for views of the city, a dramatic chalk hill and an Iron Age hillfort. As for ventures from the site, you might want to set your next target as one of three local pubs serving home-cooked food in the villages of Sparsholt, Littleton or Crawley (this one’s 25 minutes’ walk away).

This well-run, tidy, and friendly site has spacious, level pitches. Visitors loved the great facilities, including modern showers/toilets, kids' play area & dog field. Great location for country walks and exploring Winchester. Relaxed vibe, with staff always helpful and accommodating. Some minor feedback mentioned dated facilities & occasional noise.

Carol A.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Found the directions to the site really helpful. The ANPR bollard gave us the feeling of a safe and secure site. Well cared for pitch areas and clear instructions on where to place your outfit. Quiet site when we visited at beginning of September. Ideal for a stop off or longer stay.

Disliked Not really a dislike, but will remember to bring a torch next time.

Julie T.

Powered grass campervan site

Liked The most frequently cleaned toilets/shower block I’ve known. Very highly maintained.

Great family site with a good play park for kids.

Great dog exercise area fully fenced in.
Walks from the site - a there and back walk rather than a circular one.

Owners friendly and made a point of introducing themselves and checking in with arrivals.

Close to Winchester, 6 miles, so easy for shopping/takeaways.

Disliked Pitches seemed close together, nothing separating them (bushes/trees).

We are new to camping and our error was not realising it was a family site. Whilst it was great to see families enjoying the last of the summer holidays, it made it more lively than we’d have preferred.

Local attractions

Get keyed up on the local history… with hillforts, National Trust properties and historic steam railways around, there are many jaunts to take you way back. Closest to the site, there's Danebury Iron Age Hillfort (10 minutes’ drive), Mottisfont’s (15 minutes) historical priory, garden and country estate (15 minutes) or Winchester’s (15 minutes) cathedral, castle, markets and fairs. Perhaps the most iconic of the lot, Stonehenge (35 minutes) is a short trip away. Mid Hants Railway 'Watercress Line' (25 minutes) will take you on a ride along a 19th-century heritage steam train line, while the National Motor Museum (45 minutes) and the maritime museum at Buckler's Hard (55 minutes) are full to the brim with old artefacts. Once you’re done with country house tours – perhaps at Broadlands House (35 minutes) or the National Trust’s Georgian Hinton Ampner (25 minutes) – a festival might bring you firmly to the present again. The Boomtown Fair venue (20 minutes) and Carfest South venue (25 minutes) are both close by. But, how to finish off your stay? Maybe the 72-hectare arboretum at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens (20 minutes), the birds of prey experiences at the Hawk Conservancy Trust (25 minutes), Marwell Zoo (half an hour), Salisbury Cathedral (half an hour) or the kid-friendly Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (half an hour)?
