  • Family-friendly farm site a 10-minute drive from Westbury, Wiltshire
  • Bratton White Horse five minutes’ drive; Bath 40 minutes
  • Dogs welcome; cycle hire; about a half-hour walk from the village pub
The glorious landscape of rural Wiltshire is yours to explore from Country View Camping, a family- and dog-friendly site on a farm a 10-minute drive from the market town of Westbury. Accommodation is in a vast field dotted with round hay bales (in season, natch) and overlooked by the gentle slopes of the Bratton Downs, known for the Bratton White Horse, a gigantic silhouette of a horse carved into the chalky hill and visible for miles around. It takes about five minutes’ drive to reach this local landmark, or a 40-minute walk. It’s also possible to hire a bike on site and get there on two wheels in about 10 minutes. Keen hikers will have a vast choice of potential destinations here – from Clanger Wood (five minutes), a Site of Special Scientific Interest thanks to its populations of butterflies, moths and nightingales; to the paths along the River Avon (like the Millennium Riverside walk, 15 minutes). Not forgetting that you’re also between two areas of outstanding natural beauty here: Cranborne Chase (20 minutes) and North Wessex Downs (35 minutes). Barbecues are provided, but if you’d rather not bother with cooking, there are a handful of pubs in the area serving traditional food, including one in Bratton (five minutes, or a 25-minute walk). The site has a toilet block and showers, plus charging facilities and recycling points.

Bell tent

Liked: Had the most amazing experience at Country View Camping! Was totally shocked how luxurious our glamping experience was. The crew went above and beyond. Supplied us with an Alexa, power bank and even helped us set up a fire for the kids for marshmallow roasting. They have a lovely breakfast cafe in the morning and great coffee too! Communal shower and toilets that were sparkling clean! You could not beat a family experience like this. Can’t wait to book our next glamping trip with them!

Bell tent

Liked: We (myself, 2 children, my Mum and 2 dogs) had the pleasure of staying at Country View Camping, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The campsite is nestled in beautiful countryside, offering stunning views and a peaceful and relaxing environment. The facilities at the campsite very good. Clean and well-maintained, they provided all the essential amenities for a comfortable stay. Whether it was the clean bathrooms, reliable showers, or the café where you could get a cooked breakfast, everything was in great condition and exceeded my expectations. The hosts of Country View Camping were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that guests felt welcome and had everything they needed. No request seemed too much trouble for them, making the overall experience feel warm and personal. One of the highlights of this camping site is its proximity to nature. The area is a haven for animals with great walking trails that allow you to explore the surrounding countryside easily. Besides, there are local pubs and farm shops nearby, making it convenient to purchase local produce and meals. A short drive from the campsite takes you to the nearest town, providing a perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. It is also very close to Longleat. Additionally, the famous white horse, is within walking distance from the campsite. The abundance of wildlife was incredible. From birds chirping to rabbits hopping around and deer visiting. My children enjoyed seeing them so much. Country View Camping is a fantastic destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and enjoyable camping experience. The combination of excellent facilities, friendly hosts, beautiful countryside surroundings, and access to local attractions makes it an ideal choice for anyone. We actually live in Wiltshire about 45 mins from the site and were looking for somewhere local to go that was not too far away for a few nights and we are so glad we booked as it felt like we could have been anywhere in the world. I couldn't recommend this site more, so much so that we have already booked for out next trip.

Local attractions

A bag of feed will allow you to get up close and personal with some of the more greedy residents at Fairfield Animal Centre (15 minutes’ drive). Here you can also take alpacas and goats for a walk around the grounds, or help the keepers groom and feed the donkeys. The large play area includes wooden climbing structures. Among the National Trust properties in the vicinity are Westwood Manor (20 minutes) and Prior Park Landscape Garden (35 minutes). The former dates from the late 15th century and is popular for its garden, with a lily pond and topiary hedges. The latter, in a valley near Bath, is a Georgian park dotted with follies such as the elegant Palladian Bridge. A terrace adorned with Victorian-era statues of ancient emperors overlooks the sunken Roman Baths in Bath (40 minutes). A museum displays artefacts unearthed on site, including a bronze head of the goddess Minerva and thousands of silver coins, part of the Beau Street Hoard.
