  • Wiltshire farm site with views over Salisbury Cathedral
  • Just off the A354, three miles from central Salisbury
  • A mile from the closest pub; direct footpath access
Set on a large grassy meadow, this friendly site in Wiltshire is conveniently located for Salisbury, Stonehenge, the New Forest and the Jurassic Coast. The impressive 123-metre spire of Salisbury Cathedral is visible from this quiet spot, as are acres of rolling green countryside and flocks of peaceful farm animals. Salisbury Campsite at Bake Farm is a place for back to basics camping: its simple facilities include chemical disposal, toilets, wash basins and a warm shower. Essentials sorted, it's time to relax: and that's perhaps best done in the large repurposed field shelter, where you can take a seat and gaze out over the stunning views (drink in hand optional, but recommended…). The site is conveniently set a few hundred yards back from the A354 road, making it a breeze to get into Salisbury city centre and make use of its public pool, railway station, arts centre, cafés and shops. Coombe Bissett, a mile in the other direction, also has a popular local pub. With plenty of space and Bake Farm's sheep for company, this outdoorsy spot is also a hotspot for walkers. Guests here have direct access to a good range of rights of way. Popular strolls in the area include the 25-mile-long Clarendon Way that runs from Salisbury to Winchester, hiking up Harnham Hill and ambling around Salisbury's water meadows. Please note that Salisbury Campsite at Bake Farm is only suitable for guests aged five and over. Children are welcome, although the site is designed to be quiet and there are no play facilities or attractions for them.

What customers say

This is a peaceful and well-maintained campsite offering spacious, self-selected pitches with lovely views towards Salisbury. Facilities are basic but clean, including flushing toilets, a hot shower, and a covered area with charging points and Wi-Fi. The friendly and helpful owners provide excellent local information and walking routes. While some guests noted the single shower can be busy and the lack of bins, most found it a great base for exploring the area and highly recommended it for its relaxing atmosphere and value for money.

Liked The campsite was quiet and you were able to choose your own pitch.
The owner also provided excellent information about the area, including walking routes to the local pub, and into Salisbury that we made use of, plus cycle routes.

Liked Location ok, the price was fair, it was exactly as per the advertised

Disliked The cost of £7 per day to have your dog accompany us. The foot way to the village is poorly maintained styles and foot path overgrown.
Probably won’t stop there again.

Neil T.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Peaceful. Walks from campsite. Potable water and clean flushing toilets. Shed with freezers, charging points, information for walks and local area. Small washing up area next to toilets, albeit not covered. We did not use showers but looked clean. We were able to park our van on a level space. No designated pitches, just find what suits you. Owner very friendly and helpful.

Stephen G.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Clean well run site. A fair distance by foot to Salisbury (45mins) but do-able and still a good location. Lots to do in the area.
The site is tranquil and quite basic but has all of the basic things you need. The only suggestion would be that the owners consider having a larger freezer and to allow people to put more than just ice packs in it. This has been quite useful at other sites we have visited.

Disliked Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Host was helpful and made us feel welcome.

Toilet and shower facilities were nice and clean and well maintained.

Charging points were helpful and QR codes were a nice touch as it gave information on local walks and places of interest.

Disliked Only one minor downfall was only having one shower as this often meant lengthy waits in the morning.

Local attractions

After exploring the historic buildings of Salisbury, head even further back in time at Stonehenge (20 minutes' drive), an iconic English Heritage-managed landmark a few miles north of the town. More ancient history is within your reach if you drive to Avebury (55 minutes), home to a spectacular stone circle and other Neolithic sites in the scenic countryside of north Wiltshire. To the south, there's the New Forest National Park (20 minutes), where cycling, walking, country pubs and semi-wild ponies, donkeys and pigs make for great family-friendly days out. Even more wild animals are on display at Longleat Safari Park (40 minutes), while for high-adrenaline tree-top adventures and forest segway escapades there's Go Ape in Moors Valley Country Park (30 minutes). If being so close to Salisbury has you in the mood for more urban days out, you might like to take the train (or drive) to Bath (roughly an hour), while for some sun and sand you could head south to the beaches, piers and classic seaside amusements on offer in Bournemouth (40 minutes).
