  • 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 well-organised, clean, and friendly campsite with spacious, level pitches. Visitors praised the excellent facilities, including modern showers and toilets, and the availability of a children's play area and dog exercise field. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby Winchester. The site offers a relaxed atmosphere, and staff are consistently described as helpful and accommodating. While most feedback is positive, a few comments mentioned dated facilities in some areas and occasional noise, although this was generally not an issue.

Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked Easy and straight forward to book. Great communication and help when needed. Easy to check in and check out as it’s all automatic. No waiting around. Good touring caravan facilities with easy access to water etc.

Disliked Too many pitches close together with not a lot of space. Noisy due to the amount of people there.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you found the booking process smooth, appreciated the helpful communication, and found check-in and check-out hassle-free. It's also great to know the facilities worked well for you.

The first weekend of the school holidays is one of the busiest weekends of the season, and being a family orientated campsite, there were lots of happy, excited children enjoying the beginning of the school holidays. Our pitches are a standard size to ensure comfort an safety, but on a busy weekend when the campsite is full we understand it might feel a little more compact, although this also creates a very friendly atmosphere.

We do our best to maintain a happy environment for everyone, providing an adventure playground as well as a separate play field with football nets and badminton to keep the children entertained, and considerately allocating pitches to place guests in the area we feel they will have the best experience. We hope to welcome you again in the future, and would recommend midweek when the campsite is quieter and more spacious, offering a different experience.

Lovely campsite, friendly, clean and would stay again.

Kia F.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Easy electronic arrival with extremely clear pitching directions. Facilities are excellent, clean and modern with the nice touch of lead free dog exercise area. New showers.

Disliked If someone is trying to exit/arrive at the same time in the opposite direction as you, the anpr operated rising bollard at the entrance can be frustrating… but I appreciate the security it provides.
Despite arriving 30 mins before last arrivals and spaces were advertised online we were disappointed one can only book an elec hook up for minimum of 2 nights… we were staying 1.

Michael K.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Großer Grassfläche mit gut markierten Stellplätzen. Sehr ordentlich und sauber.
Freundliche Mitarbeiter und schnelle Hilfe wenn nötig.
Neues Sanitärgebäude.
Wifi ausreichend, könnte aber im äußeren Bereich besser sein.

Disliked Kleine Optimierung im Sanitärgebäude wie zB Haken (an der Wand zu den WC?) oder irgendwelche Abstellflächen bei den Waschbecken wären optimal.
Auch regelbare Duschköpfe (kalt/warm als auch leicht/stark) sind wünschenswert.

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)?
