Family camping on tree-shaded pitches in Wiltshire’s Savernake Forest
A 35-minute drive Stonehenge, and an hour to Longleat Safari Park
Forest walks and bike rides from site; Marlborough 20 minutes' walk

Peace and quiet are the watchwords at Postern Hill Campsite, a woodland park bordering ancient Savernake Forest in Wiltshire, with plenty of flora and fauna to keep an eye out for. Spacious and wonderfully private, the level grass pitches are shaded by ancient oak, beech and sweet chestnut trees, or carved into the bushes. Wherever you pitch up, you’ll be instantly surrounded by nature – you might spy deer among the trees, and there are often owls hooting after dark. In summer, the park is a hotspot for rare and protected bats. Full of registered trees, Savernake Forest has the largest beech avenue in Britain and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, thanks to its diversity of wildlife. And the forest is right next to the pitches, so you can make the most of the easy walking (dogs love this place too) and cycling trails in the 4,500-acre woodland and its valleys. Tranquillity may reign on site, but Postern Hill is only 20 minutes’ stroll from the pretty market town of Marlborough, where you can pick up picnic supplies and other foodie treats from delis or farm shops, and graze in a selection of quality pubs, cafés and restaurants. The big-hitting historic attractions of Stonehenge and Avebury are close by too. One last thing: please note that there are no showers at this campsite.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: This campsite is simply stunning. I was welcomed by a friendly face, who couldn't have been more helpful. Staff walked round regularly to check if everything was ok. The setting was just beautiful, waking up to the sound of the birds. I loved that you could more or less pitch where you wanted, I was meeting up with a group of friends that were already there when i arrived, but we were able to get close together where we wanted to be.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The staff are very friendly and helpful. Very nice and quiet site surrounded by woodland and not too far a walk to Marlborough town centre. Large Tesco nearby which is reached by a downhill trail (very muddy during our stay) Due to the bad weather during our 2 night stay we got the motorhome stuck on the grass pitch but staff member Steve came over and helped us out , great guy! Will go again but in dryer weather!

Disliked: No gravel pitches and no fresh water hook ups for motorhomes/caravans but plenty of fresh water taps around.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: This was a fantastic location and a beautiful campsite. A warm welcome when we arrived made us feel very appreciated as customers.

Disliked: There are basic toilets and no showers. It's not a problem in a caravan, but it's not so good if you're camping.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting, easy to check in even though it was after reception opening hours. Toilets very clean. Great location itself and also in easy reach of interesting places to visit.

Disliked: Soggy weather, but not the fault of the site! No shower block - not an issue as we only stayed one night, and it was clear when booking, but this would put us off booking a longer stay another time. No wifi.

Local attractions

Time-travel back to prehistory with the world-famous standing stones at Stonehenge (35 minutes’ drive), and then have a poke around the interactive exhibitions at the smart visitor centre. Quieter but just as impressive are the sprawling neolithic stone circles at Avebury (15 minutes), which you can wander around at leisure. Move forwards to the 19th century with a guided tour of Wilton Windmill (summer only); it has a scenic picnic area with spectacular Wessex Downs views. In Pewsey Vale (both 15 minutes), walk a section of the White Horse Trail and see how many of Wiltshire’s famous chalk horses you can spot. To up the activity levels, Rockstar Climbing Centre (25 minutes) has indoor facilities for novices and experts alike. Marlborough Leisure Centre (five minutes) has an indoor pool and squash courts – both places make great options for the occasional rainy day. And if you’re holidaying with family, a day at Longleat Safari Park (an hour) should keep everyone happy, with drives through lion and tiger enclosures, lake cruises to see the gorillas and sea lion feeding sessions.
