  • 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

Friendly, peaceful small campsite with lovely views. Clean, heated washrooms are a highlight. Mostly level pitches, great for big rigs with National Trust access. Owners are super helpful. Occasional train noise is minor. Great value and a handy base for exploring.

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Spacious, level pitches.
Lovely quiet site. Even though the railway was close, it didn’t bother us.
Pub a nice 15 min stroll away, and walks galore direct from the site.
Toilets and shower spotless and toasty warm. Staff/owners were very friendly.

Disliked Although lovely, only one shower would be an issue at the height of the season.

Excellent areas for motorhome as flat and lots of space allocated.

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Friendly team who were really informative about local facilities. There are all amenities for motorhome and caravans such as grey waste, Ensen toilet and fresh water. Washing up area and a washing machine. Toilet and shower and the team are building another shower. Everything clean and warm, great when weather a bit chilly. Excellent freedom for the dog as we were right beside national trust land, beautiful views. Quiet site.

Disliked We enjoyed our stay, so no complaints from us. Remember to stock up on provisions as shops a drive away.

Liked The bathroom and toilet had heated floors

Disliked Honestly at first it seemed okay but over the time we stayed the woman was acting up her washer was broken and destroyed my cloths when I tried to dry them with a heater I was told to unplug it as it cost too much but I played for electric (was safely positioned away from water exposure ) then my son who has disabilities forgot to turn the toilet light off he got told off . I was having a shower and my partner was in the connecting toilet and the woman was stood outside are door trying to look threw the window telling us to turn lights on (they were already on) made us feel uncomfortable as she was shouting threw door to us wile we was using the facilities . She rummaged threw are rubbish and was trying to find faults everywhere with everything my child has issues and struggles going new places and sometimes can become over hyper but that was a problem aswell nothing we tried doing was okay for her getting in and out wasn’t great with the pot holes on property

Kristina C.

Powered cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Good pitches and amazing loos (though I got locked in even after following instructions)...then realised you just have to pull the door rather hard (ladies).
Didn't look at the shower.
15ish minute walk to the pub, which had a lovely community feel without making, 'outsiders,' feel unwelcome.
I can imagine that in the summer, the walks across the fields would be amazing.

Disliked The reason for 7 is the train track, which others have mentioned. If not for that, rating would be higher...especially because the loo was absolutely spotless and warm! It's not the owners fault, clearly, but can't not be mentioned.

Liked Lovely friendly people! This makes a big difference after traveling a long way. We just stopped over for one night on our way down to Cornwall and might use it for future trips. Relaxed atmosphere, not too many rules to follow! We were late arriving, as traffic had been horrendous, but weren’t treated like we had disrupted everything!

Disliked A bit of train noise from the railway line just over the hedge, but nothing to put us off revisiting this friendly site in future.

Liked Lovely, well kept site, friendly staff, clean facilities.

Disliked Right by a train line, train quite noisy - although not a problem for us personally, it’s not mentioned on the campsite write up.
Also roads getting to it are a bit narrow, more like tracks rather than roads, - can be a bit tricky to navigate!

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.
