What customers say
A cracker bush campsite in Savernake Forest with heaps of walks & wildlife. Staff are legend and you can pick your own spot. Basic but clean facilities, though no showers and the dunny block's a bit dated. Close to Marlborough. Watch out for mud, road noise, and the site's future.

Liked Beautiful site with plenty of flat spaces amongst the trees. Facilities good and very helpful wardens to greet us and give advice. Lovely walks into the forest next to the site, also walkable to Marlborough which in nice to visit for a bit of retail therapy! Great cycling around here, but best to return via the forest route to avoid the big hill.
Disliked Really hope the site reopens for next year, it’s a gem!
