  • Family-friendly site in the grounds of a traditional country pub
  • Stonehenge, Longleat safaris, Westbury White Horse within 45 minutes
  • Large beer garden serving good pub food
Settle in for friendly stays at The Crown Inn, a site welcoming kids and adults in the grounds of a traditional country pub. It's 10 minutes’ drive from the Wiltshire market town of Devizes with views of the Saint Mary of the Virgin church spire from its green grounds. In the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, this dog-friendly place is well located for scenic hikes and rambles among historical sites and hilly countryside: within five minutes, join the 13-mile Wansdyke Path towards Marlborough or follow the long-distance track along the Kennet and Avon Canal that connects Bristol and Reading. On wanders hereabouts, keep eyes to the hillsides… some within an easy trot are home to ancient white horses – chalk horses, that is. The White Horses of Devizes and Alton Barnes are roughly 10 minutes away and the famed Westbury White Horse is within 35 minutes. Effort-free days on site are very much in order too – fill up on local eats in the pub then nurse a drink in the beer garden while the kids play or get to know the friendly goats. The pub is pretty popular, so booking is essential. Two 24-hour outdoor toilets, combined with a shower, are on site, and accessed by key code (please note these can get busy at peak times when the pub facilities are not open). You'll also have access to drinking water and a washing-up sink.

What customers say

A top spot by a cosy pub, with plenty of room to spread out. Facilities have improved thanks to the new, friendly owners. Access to the dunny block via a pub garden code might be a bit of a trek for some, but the grub's good and it's a ripper base for seeing the sights.

Liked Amazing site, lovely hosts & very nice locals to have a drink with. Beautiful garden area with 4 goats, we had breakfast too which was buffet style with a good selection & cooked to perfection. Showers and toilets well looked after aswell. Really can’t go wrong a perfect family friendly site & super cheap too! They have a festival next July so we will definitely be returning, overall the best experience we’ve had at a site!

Unpowered grass and gravel motorhome site

Liked It was close to local history, plenty of space and flat ground to camp, and the pub of course. Friendly helpful staff too. Probably would come back without kids for an event, but OK and nice and quiet too when closed!

Disliked I prefer not to have coded toilets and to walk through a pub garden with a kid to get to one, but I appreciate anything else might not be feasible to build, and we managed fine. However £5 for a shower feels a bit steep, but we're OK without for one night.

Unpowered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent site

Liked We had a fantastic stay at The Crown Inn, Bishops Cannings! We literally live 10mins away but felt like we could have been anywhere.
Myself, Husband, kiddos (girls age 6 & 7) and dog thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We played lots of games, had dinner in the pub on both nights, went to the Maize Maze at Lower fields Farm and cycled along the canal all the way to Honeystreet for the floating fayre!
The kids could safely run around and explore without any worry. The goats were an added extra!
Thanks for great stay, We will definitely return! 🏕️🏕️🏕️

Unpowered grass and gravel motorhome site

Liked Colin and Karen were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant and although we only stayed one night we had a great time and it was an ideal stop over for us.
The field was large and washing up facilities have recently been added. Kenny and Moira

Local attractions

There’s no need to venture far for local attractions when settling in at this site: it’s a five-minute drive to spots like the Avebury Stones circle, the prehistoric artificial chalk mound of Silbury Hill and the Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum. Travelling a touch further – around 10 minutes – will get you to the market town of Devizes with its castle, museum and brewery plus a whole host of shops and restaurants; Bowood House and Gardens, on the other hand, is 20 minutes’ drive for wanders around a Grade I listed Georgian country house and its 100 acres of pretty parkland. Schedule in some time to linger for longer at Lacock, a well-preserved village run by the National Trust that’s barely changed since the 19th century – so little so that it’s appeared in Downton Abbey. Recognise scenes from the series while tottering around the traditional stone cottages, old workhouse, medieval tithe barn and village church 20 minutes’ drive from The Crown Inn.
