  • Small countryside site overlooking 27 acres of National Trust land
  • A 20-minute drive from Stonehenge and 25 minutes from Salisbury
  • Two pubs within walking distance and barbecues permitted on site
Track down Stonehenge and Salisbury or leap over the country stile onto the 27 acres of National Trust land alongside Honeysuckle Homestead… this remote countryside site is well equipped for a Wiltshire break and pretty splendid location-wise. The location is within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, and Wiltshire’s your oyster, really: the iconic Stonehenge stone circle is 20 minutes’ drive away and Salisbury Cathedral about 25 minutes. If country pubs are your first calling, there are two of those nearby too (at a 20-minute or a 45-minute walk respectively). Well-fed and watered, you might be itching to get out on one of the many scenic walks in the surrounding countryside. One top pick is the Dinton Park Trail in the National Trust land that the site overlooks. You’ll pass by orchards, farmland, parkland, woodland and a Neo-Grecian house, as well as follow part of the Monarch’s Way. This 625-mile trail was King Charles II’s escape route after he was defeated in the Civil Wars, although you’ll be able to take it on at a much more leisurely pace. Honeysuckle Homestead has a sweet set up all around. It’s well equipped with heated toilets and showers, wifi over the site and a washing-up area (just in case you fancy taking advantage of the fact that barbecues are allowed). There’s a shop in Fovant village, 45 minutes’ walk away, for all your basic bits and pieces.

What customers say

This is a small, friendly, and peaceful campsite, praised for its beautiful rural location and close proximity to National Trust parkland, offering excellent walking opportunities. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally described as clean and well-maintained, with some noting underfloor heating. The owner is frequently highlighted as welcoming and helpful. Downsides mentioned include the adjacent railway line causing occasional noise, and some feel the site could benefit from general tidying.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Simple friendly campsite. Basic facilities just as you would expect from this kind of campsite.

Disliked Some guest state they dislike the noise of the train. It is quite audible but only like 10 seconds or so and not during the night so for no big deal.

Brenda J.

Electric hardstanding pitch

Liked Very well organised site, clean toilets and shower. Lovely host who made you feel welcome even before we arrived. Goes above and beyond. There is a railway runs past but is not a problem. Lots of space at the back of the site which belongs to the national trust. They are building another shower so that will be up and running when we revisit next year. Tidy, clean and friendly. There is a playground just less than half a mile away for children. A pub a mile away. Would recommend this site to all. Reasonably priced as well. Plenty of places to visit within easy reach.

Disliked Noise from a rave off the site. Not the fault of the site at all.

Ok site in a location for cross country. Facilities could be cleaner.

Liked Nice views in a good location for travelling cross country.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked De locatie was een prima uitvalsbasis voor Stonehenge en Salisbury.
Mooi uitzicht over veld van National Trust

Disliked De locatie vlak langs een treinspoor. Elke 15 minuten denderde een trein ontzettend snel langs met bijbehorende herrie, trillingen en fluit vanwege tunnel in de buurt.

De sanitaire voorzieningen waren niet hygiënisch.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Small campsite, fewer pitches meant it was quiet and didn't feel crowded. Good facilities, all the necessities checked off. The grass electric pitches were great, spacious and you can park alongside your tent. Regular cow inspections from over the fence. There were regular trains but they became background noise.

Local attractions

So you’ve visited medieval Salisbury (25 minutes’ drive), gazed at the Magna Carta in Salisbury Cathedral and (hopefully) defeated an escape room, but what about Old Sarum (25 minutes)? The ruins are where Salisbury’s first settlers lived and nowadays, visitors can climb up the ramparts, see where the original cathedral once stood and admire the Iron Age hillfort too. Wilton (10 minutes) was the ancient capital of Wessex and well worth a stop for walks along the Wylye river, the markets and Wilton House (15 minutes). Historical sites don’t end just there, though, as further out, there are the 14th-century ruins of Old Wardour Castle (20 minutes) and grand Kingston Lacy (40 minutes), where there are Japanese gardens, play areas, art and antiquities and garden tours. If it’s a safari day you’re after, that’s not as unthinkable as you’d expect in the Wiltshire countryside, because Longleat (half an hour) has a self-driving safari park with a lion and monkey enclosure. You’re more likely to see New Forest ponies roaming around New Forest National Park (40 minutes). Canoeing, cycling, hiking, hiking – all sorts, really – can be tracked down here, but if it’s the coast you’re really after, Bournemouth (55 minutes), Poole (55 minutes) and Lymington (an hour and 10 minutes) are further on.
