  • 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).

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Although a busy campsite with lots of pitches, it was well laid out and everyone had plenty of space so didn’t feel over crowded.
Toilets and showers clean.

Disliked: We were next to the road so a little noisy during the night as they driver quite fast but nothing some ear plugs didn’t fix!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're pleased you found the facilities clean and felt the campsite was well laid out with plenty of space despite it being a busy weekend. The field you camped in is usually used for recreation as it is a little closer to the road than our main camping fields but there was such high demand this weekend we had to open it to campers. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We will try other options

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Didn't have to talk to anyone

Disliked: High price for the awful bathroom and showers

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stopover. I can see from our ANPR system you were a last minute one night booking, arriving at 10.30pm and leaving early the next morning. This will be why the staff didn’t meet you on their walk rounds during the day and evening. Perhaps you didn’t have time to read your welcome email either as this includes details of all the facilities. I think you may have used the older overflow facilities rather than the newer ones. There was a wonderful atmosphere on the campsite with lots of our regular customers enjoying the bank holiday weekend. I’m sorry if you were disappointed.

Highly recommend, we will return!

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)?
