General
- Scenic and peaceful site at the foot of the North Wessex Downs
- A mile from the world-famed Westbury White Horse
- Two fishing lakes, shop, nature trail and on-site bar
Ever seen the famed Westbury White Horse, high up above an Iron Age hill fort on Salisbury Plain? You can get to it within a short canter with a stay at Blackland Lakes: this peaceful rural place is a mere mile from the world-famed equine etching.
For those planning to spend days lazing around at base (after a trip to see the horse, of course), Blackland has two coarse fishing lakes filled with carp, tench, perch, roach, bream and gudgeon, with mirror carp up to 25lbs in Heron Lake and bream to 11lb in both. Another lake is set aside as a habitat for wildfowl for those who'd rather laze about this green and scenic setting.
The park covers 17 acres, divided into secluded grass paddocks. A big highlight is Sam's Bar, open from April to September (mainly at weekends), selling a range of draft beers and ciders, soft drinks, hot drinks, ice creams and pizzas. The team has also opened a well-stocked and licensed shop, selling essentials, drinks, ice cream and camping basics like tent pegs. Within the shop is a small tourist info section with leaflets on local attractions, events and details of local pubs, restaurants, and takeaways that can deliver your dinner straight to the site.
Blackland is at just outside the village of Caine, at the foot of the North Wessex Downs. The closest pub serving food is about 10 minutes' walk away.

Hi Luke, Thank you for your feedback, as of April we will have both blocks open on site for the high season, in future please do contact us with any requests and we will do our best to accommodate. |

From the manager...
In response to the issues you have raised we feel there is a genuine break down in communication. Your pitch raised alarm with a customer as you had lots of possessions left outside including clothes which were getting wet in the rain, there was a concern for your welfare in the first instance, hence why you were checked on by members of staff as the tent and possessions appeared somewhat abandoned. We do have a duty of care to our customers so we are sorry that you feel us checking on you made you feel vulnerable. We do not have reports of thieves on site and any suspicious behaviour can be picked up quite quickly due to our customers caring for the campsite and our staff carrying out regular daily checks. |

Local attractions
The Westbury White Horse – Wiltshire's famed giant chalk horse carved into the slope of Salisbury Plain – is about a mile from Blackland Lakes, on the edge of Bratton Downs. Standing 80 feet tall and 170 feet wide, it's viewable for 16 or 17 miles around its setting; from the horse itself, you'll be able to see Bratton Castle and the white horses of Devizes and Alton Barnes.
This is most certainly a land of archaeological and world-famed historical highlights: reach the pretty village of Avebury and its three prehistoric stone circles within 10 minutes' drive and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stonehenge within 40. If your tastes are more modern, a vintage motor museum is less than 10 minutes' walk away.
Take a trip out to any of the area's market towns such as Calne, Devizes, Chippenham, Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett and Marlborough, all within 25 minutes' drive. Bath is about 35 minutes away.
For peaceful sightseeing within a short drive, try Bowood House and its landscaped gardens, five miles away, and the National Trust village of Lacock eight miles from the site, a magical place that's had screen appearances in the likes of Downton Abbey and Harry Potter.
