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.

Liked: Fabulous site right next to the Savernake forest. spotlessly clean and well maintained. Shady spots under the trees or sunny spots, take your pick!
Fantastic walks right from the campsite.

The footpath down to the town is quite steep in places but not very long.

Walks in the forest are reasonably flat with a few gentle inclines

Wonderful site staff, so helpful and friendly, you're the best, cant wait to come back !!

Powered grass site

Liked: The views were lovely, the peacefulness, you can hear the sea from the pitches at the front of the site which is nice, the staff were so nice and friendly, shout out to Simon for being extra kind, very clean site, great location walking distance spar shop with post office very handy.

Disliked: Only shame is that the shower token only gives you 5 mins shower so it was a bit stressful trying to beat the timer, I also had a bit of a headache trying to get the coins in the slot as it’s right up against the wall and tricky to fit in.

Andrea O. Apr 2025

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Flat pitches, forest walks from site, very quiet, option to walk into Marlborough (although we didn't do it, this time), friendly staff, really peaceful site. We didn't use the facilities, so can't comment on that. A 'choose your own' pitch site, although there were some with markers (not allocated). Would recommend and will hopefully be returning soon.

Powered grass site

Liked: Lovely and peaceful site, excellently situated for exploring Savernake Forest and further afield (Avebury Stone Circle, West Kennet Long Barrow, The Sanctuary Silsbury Fort). Facilities were spotlessly clean, and staff were super friendly. Dogs welcome. We loved it and will 100% be returning.

Disliked: I suspect people will highlight lack of WiFi and showers, but neither of these are a surprise if you read the site information and simply weren’t an issue for us in our VW campervan.

Liked: Lovely campsite, in the woods but 20 minutes walk downhill to Melbourne. The site wasn't crowded, well spaced out and incredibly quiet. The staff were really friendly and helpful and I spent many hours wandering the woodland.
I will definitely be back to this site.

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.
