  • 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).

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Clean, organised and well maintained site. Good access to lovely towns, villages and areas of natural beauty. Sport areas were great for kids and families and the dog field was a bonus for friends with a dog. Clearly they are developing the facilities to make this site even better. The site rules seemed to set an expectation of behaviour which lead to a relaxed atmosphere and limited noise after 10:30pm, even if some groups carried on a bit longer.

Disliked: Some teething and / or logistical problems here as the site improves. There was limited hot water for washing up and current facilities might not be enough for busy periods. Their booking systems don’t cope with non standard requirements it seems. I struggled to contact and get a response from site management for several days when enquiring about how to make a slightly complicated small group booking that didn’t appear possible on available booking websites. It made it hard to confirm and make plans with friends. Given the cost of this site, it was disappointing.

Powered grass campervan campsite

Liked: Very clean, grass well kept. Well arranged , nice little park for the kids. Bbq and fires allowed. Showers and toilets pretty clean. Rising bollard made it feel secure and worked well. Loads of water stand pipes. Fire safety provision good. Short drive to winchester cathedral which was great.

Disliked: Kids kicking footballs against the fence, and playing cricket near our tent and van even though there was a massive playing field. Maybe put signs up. Maybe im just a miserable git. Would do well to sort a shop out pronto, we would have spent loads of money if they had one for camping essentials and food, as we are noobs. Perhaps would have liked the option to pick our pitch location. Never met any staff , there was a number , but we didnt need to use it. They are buildimg a reception which should help.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The site was well organised and really clean. They put us in the field with the play park as we are 2 Yong children. Play Park was well equipped and sports field had a few bits ro use aswell.Big pitches with Electric hook up to one side, and water taps on the gate on way into each field

Disliked: No toilets at the back end of the fields only ones by the main block. Toilet and shower block for the mens all in one, and entrance kept open so shower cubicle was cold. New shower and toilets are currently being built but not open yet

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Location wise amazing! I was a little worried as I'm not the best at towing and we had a sizeable folding camper so access in and out was awesome. Plenty of decent water points with good pressure(some we've been to slow) Toilet facilities were plentiful and spotless with plenty of illumination as it got dark. These were a little away from the pitch and we were in the nearest field. Lovely and close to Romsey,Winchester and Stockbridge.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike as such,we were there on a weekday and our dog was playing off lead with a dog next door and the owner asked us to put on the lead (they are the rules) but no one else about but I feel that's our issue rather than something they had done wrong.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Folly Farm Caravan and Camping Park is an absolute gem! We had a huge pitch all to ourselves, surrounded by breathtaking views. The starry nights were simply magical. The facilities were top-notch, with spotlessly clean bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. And let's not forget the awesome playground for the little ones. It's the perfect place for a memorable camping adventure! 🏕️🌟"

Disliked: There was nothing that I disliked

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)?
