  • 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).

What customers say

This is a very well-maintained and clean campsite with friendly and helpful staff. Guests praise the spacious, level pitches, good facilities, and excellent location for exploring Winchester. The site is ideal for families, with a play area, games field, and dog exercise field. Security features, including ANPR entry, are appreciated. Some guests noted that the toilet and shower facilities, while clean, are dated, though new facilities are being built. Limited shade on pitches was mentioned.

Mark D.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location, peace and quiet, facilities, safe space. Allows fire pits. The warden welcome.

Disliked Arrivals could be better. A sign saying ‘before entering, pull over and read rules’ as we drove in, didn’t see the rules board and pitched up incorrectly, however, the wardens were very understanding.

Ian H.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We stayed post school hols. A dog friendly camp site was immaculate. Very quiet. Road noise in the morning noticeable but due to how quiet it is! Wardens, Jo and Kevin are 10/10. Friendly & professional. Walk rounds every evening. Perfect. ANRP car/gate entry. Safe and secure. Truly could not ask for more. Just come prep’d with everything you need.

Disliked This isn’t a dislike- could be a pro. Shops are a drive to get to. Can’t really find a negative!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved this site! The fact that there's no bar/ restaurant Meant it's lovely and peaceful! The facilities are great, I especially loved the outside washing up area even though there is also washing up facilities under cover too. The toilet/shower blocks were always kept clean. Would definitely recommend for a chilled break! We will return.

Disliked The only thing I personally disliked was the new showers. The shower head is fixed to the wall and quite high but the water was lovely and warm with good pressure so really no big deal.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

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.

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)?
