  • Peaceful rural site one mile from the Bratton Camp and White Horse
  • A 15-minute drive from Longleat; 35 minutes from Bath and Stonehenge
  • Horse riding on site; short-term accommodation for horses and ponies
Ready for a splendid wild ride in the Wiltshire countryside? A horse riding school for the past 30 years, Long River Farm is also a dog-friendly spot for peaceful rural stay… plot down in the paddocks and take a wander off site to admire the chalk horse-shaped workmanship at the Iron Age Bratton Camp and White Horse, just 20 minutes’ walk away from the site. If you’re on a mission to tick off the area’s historical sites, Stonehenge and Bath’s Roman spas are both 35 minutes’ drive away. As for those with an affinity for wildlife, Longleat’s safari park is 15 minutes’ drive away. That’s not forgetting the 100 acres of countryside, woodland trails and school horses, pigs, chicken, sheep and goats on site. Got a pony or horse of your own? Handily, the site has short-term accommodation available for both, great if you need an overnight stay before a show. If not, you can jump into the stirrups for the first time (or brush up on your skills) with horse riding and trekking run by the site’s school. If you haven't already plotted out your route, it may suit you to put your faith in the surrounding bridleways and footpaths that head deeper into the Salisbury Plain. Perhaps call in at one of several supermarkets, pubs, restaurants or cafés in the local town within 15 minutes’ walk of the site (the rail here also has direct links to London Paddington). As this site is relatively new to the game, there are basic facilities around the site (and some not yet up and running), including wifi in the reception area. ​

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely, relaxed campsite. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The facilities were really clean and the family room was a hit with the kids, especially when it rained. Beautiful views of the hills with horses roaming them and the kids enjoyed seeing the various animals.

Safari tent

Liked: Wunderschöne Lage und ein toller Platz. Es war zwischen den Safari Zelten genug Platz, hier war nichts gequetscht. Die Sanitäranlagen waren sauber, Ladestation und WLAN alles super. Total freundliche und hilfsbereite Menschen. Bei dem Safari Zelt waren zwei Feldbetten dabei (wie auf den Bildern) und ein Regal. Ebenso eine eigene Chemie Toilette, zwei Camping Stühle, Feuerschale mit Grillfunktion und ein Säckchen mit Holz. Wir fanden es super, vielen Dank! :)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lots of space Great views Local walking routes, steeped in history Local attractions (Longleat, Stourhead) Friendly staff The ability to up-sell the on-site experience by doing horse riding lessons

Disliked: Lack of sinks for washing up: There was only one on the whole campsite The grass was long- difficult for young children to run around in and wellies were a must for morning dew and wet weather

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for your nice review. Will take on board your comments, regarding washing up sinks and grass. All the best

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Camping fields were very clean, various animals around site, great for our 10 year old, very safe, showers, toilets and cleaning very clean! Would definitely be back!

Disliked: No dislikes, small suggestion (off wife) could do with more hooks etc in the showers. :)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your kind review. I'm assuming you mean hooks inside the shower cubicles, as there are (in the ladies) a whole 15ft wall of hooks. I will look to into adding more hooks in the cubicles. Thanks and all the best.

Local attractions

From sifting through flea markets around the Pulteney Bridge to touring the Roman baths and climbing Bath Abbey’s tower… Bath (35 minutes’ drive) has plenty of places for a historical outing. Which museum will you choose? Fashion Museum Bath (35 minutes), The Holburne Museum (half an hour) and its gardens or the No. 1 Royal Crescent (35 minutes)? Another city within reach, Salisbury (45 minutes) is well-known for its medieval cathedral and the Magna Carta but it also has museums, escape rooms, punting, artist studios or bicycle hire if you’d like a leisurely pedal around. Longleat (15 minutes) likes to show off its variety of things to do, too. There’s the Longleat Hedge Maze (20 minutes) if you’re willing to muddle your way through, the big cats of the safari park or the pleasure gardens of the Elizabethan house. Impressed by the architecture? Then, you may want to wonder a little over the remains of Old Wardour Castle (40 minutes), its grotto and spiral staircase, or Nunney Castle’s ruined tower and moats (25 minutes).
