  • Family-friendly site in the grounds of a traditional country pub
  • Stonehenge, Longleat safaris, Westbury White Horse within 45 minutes
  • Large beer garden serving good pub food
Flutter over for friendly stays at The Crown Inn, a site welcoming kids and adults in the grounds of a traditional country pub. It's 10 minutes’ drive from the Wiltshire market town of Devizes with views of the Saint Mary of the Virgin church spire from its green grounds. In the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this dog-friendly place is well located for scenic hikes and rambles among historical sites and hilly countryside: within five minutes, join the 13-mile Wansdyke Path towards Marlborough or follow the long-distance track along the Kennet and Avon Canal that connects Bristol and Reading. On wanders hereabouts, keep eyes to the hillsides… some within an easy trot are home to ancient white horses – chalk horses, that is. The White Horses of Devizes and Alton Barnes are roughly 10 minutes away and the famed Westbury White Horse is within 35 minutes. Effort-free days on site are very much in order too – fill up on local eats in the pub then nurse a drink in the beer garden while the kids play. A shower/toilet block is open at the site 24/7 and there are also drinking water facilities.

Non-electric grass and gravel tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Lovely field with plenty of room. Toilets were well stocked and clean. Lovely staff in the pub and had a very nice roast dinner.

Disliked: This is not a criticism just an observation. There's a large padlock on the gate to the field which is opened with a code. The chain is tight and if your carrying anything or have a dog on a lead you need both hands to lock and unlock the gate. Perhaps this could be unlocked but shut during times of heavy use. Or alternatively a pedestrian gate to the side. There were styles into the field but not easy to manoeuvre with hands full.

Non-electric grass and gravel tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Picturesque location next to an old church. Lovely pub on site with a spacious beer garden. Had a much needed evening meal after cycling there. Bonus marquee showing rugby world cup. Great facilities for the price; proper clean, hot shower and toilet next to the pub for campsite users and another toilet cabin closer to pitches. Friendly staff.

Disliked: Some slight, distant traffic noise but nothing that'll keep you awake

Non-electric grass and gravel tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Great location, can't go wrong! Flushing loos, high pressure hot showers - yesss! A pub! The nature, I've stayed in a fair few campsites and even though this one is rather residential, I heard some deer, interesting birds and something large and heavy that charged through every night that squeaked...who knows! Even had a dragon fly land on my hat!

Disliked: You can hear the traffic noise a bit, don't think the loos or showers had been cleaned in maybe a week...tho the bog roll restocked and loos emptied. But just pull your finger out and do it yourself, it's a small price to pay for running water and no compost loos and tepid water.

Non-electric grass and gravel tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Quiet, peaceful village location. Great access to local footpaths, bus service to nearby towns right from the campsite. Nice pub with great staff, very helpful. Awesome farm shop a few minutes walk away over fields.

Disliked: Lack of washing up facilities with hot water means people use the bathrooms.

Local attractions

There’s no need to venture far for local attractions when settling in at this site: it’s a five-minute drive to spots like the Avebury Stones circle, the prehistoric artificial chalk mound of Silbury Hill and the Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum. Travelling a touch further – around 10 minutes – will get you to the market town of Devizes with its castle, museum and brewery plus a whole host of shops and restaurants; Bowood House and Gardens, on the other hand, is 20 minutes’ drive for wanders around a Grade I listed Georgian country house and its 100 acres of pretty parkland. Schedule in some time to linger for longer at Lacock, a well-preserved village run by the National Trust that’s barely changed since the 19th century – so little so that it’s appeared in Downton Abbey. Recognise scenes from the series while tottering around the traditional stone cottages, old workhouse, medieval tithe barn and village church 20 minutes’ drive from The Crown Inn.
