  • Dog-friendly site surrounded by countryside five miles from Winchester
  • A 15-minute drive to Mottisfont and 35 minutes from Stonehenge
  • Playground, games field and dog exercise area; firepit hire, logs sold
This is a peaceful campsite that welcomes families and dogs to its level and well-kept pitches, which are sheltered by mature trees and hedgerows. With facilities including hot showers and flushing toilets – plus a playground, games field, dog exercise field and footpath to a local country park – Folly Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a tiptop place to stay in the gorgeous Hampshire countryside. How to unwind here? Well, there are plenty of spots around the site to let your hair down (thanks to its peaceful and level grassy pitches, play areas, wifi, free showers and walks in the surrounding woodlands) but you’ll have your choice of many a day out from here too. Perhaps a venture into the South Downs National Park (10 minutes’ drive)? Into the vibrant city of Winchester (15 minutes) for its historic sites, such as the medieval cathedral, the ruins of Wolvesey Castle, the working 18th-century corn mill, Jane Austen’s house or the castle’s medieval round table, once sat at by King Arthur? From Winchester, there’s a short stroll along the water meadows of the river Itchen down to England’s oldest medieval almshouse and The Hospital of St Cross or the 25-minute ascent to St Catherine’s Hill for views of the city, a dramatic chalk hill and an Iron Age hillfort. As for ventures from the site, you might want to set your next target as one of three local pubs serving home-cooked food in the villages of Sparsholt, Littleton or Crawley (this one’s 25 minutes’ walk away).

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked: Good access to the road network. Well cared for, clean and tidy.

Disliked: Quite exposed, especially in poor weather. No choice of pitch (allocated to you after booking). No visible staff on site. Very noisy, especially if your pitch is near the access roadway that serves all the camping fields. Long walk to the facilities. Small pitches and tightly packed in.

Would I return: Unfortunately not. It wasn’t relaxing at all, mainly due to constant noise of people, dogs and vehicles, way into the night. There wasn’t a moment of calm, from when I arrived mid afternoon, until I left. 10pm and the kids are still running around screaming, the chap next door has spent the last half hour hammering in his windbreak and the access road is like the m25. 11pm and it’s all still going on…Some won’t mind this I guess, but it’s not for me.

From the manager: Thank you for your unnecessarily harsh review. We're pleased you found the site well cared for, clean and tidy. Four staff were working around the clock to ensure you found it that way. We were also walking around the site several times a day until after midnight checking everyone was happy and quieting down any noisy campers. As a solo camper it might be best not to book a one night stay during a busy half term week on a campsite that welcomes families, but you would have been welcome to request a pitch away from the entrance, which is a tiny track by the way and nothing like the M25.

Clean amenities. Large pitch size, plenty of space for the children to…

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Organised pitches and friendly. Mainly clean Nice dog field and and a couple of games for everyone to use

Disliked: Not enough facilities. No where to put stuff in showers and too small. So people were using washing up sinks to clean their teeth. Very unhygienic

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we're pleased you found us friendly and organised, and that you enjoyed the dog field and games field. There were three facility blocks open during your stay, details are included in your welcome email. It sounds like you may have used the overflow block, which does have a couple of smaller showers but there are larger showers in the main blocks and the overflow block is due to be refurbished over the winter. There were plenty of basins available so I'm not sure why anyone was cleaning their teeth in the washing up sinks.

Perfect idealic location on a well maintained and friendly site.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful grounds on a very friendly and welcoming site. Very well maintained with excellent clean facilities. Dog run area was great. Hiring a firepit was a fantastic option also.

From the manager: Thanks so much for your wonderful review and photos. We're really pleased you found the site beautiful, friendly, welcoming, well maintained and clean. It's great to hear your dog enjoyed the exercising area and that you were able to enjoy a campfire with our firepit hire. Thank you for staying with us, we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Great campsite for families solo travellers.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Although a busy campsite with lots of pitches, it was well laid out and everyone had plenty of space so didn’t feel over crowded.
Toilets and showers clean.

Disliked: We were next to the road so a little noisy during the night as they driver quite fast but nothing some ear plugs didn’t fix!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're pleased you found the facilities clean and felt the campsite was well laid out with plenty of space despite it being a busy weekend. The field you camped in is usually used for recreation as it is a little closer to the road than our main camping fields but there was such high demand this weekend we had to open it to campers. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We will try other options

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Didn't have to talk to anyone

Disliked: High price for the awful bathroom and showers

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stopover. I can see from our ANPR system you were a last minute one night booking, arriving at 10.30pm and leaving early the next morning. This will be why the staff didn’t meet you on their walk rounds during the day and evening. Perhaps you didn’t have time to read your welcome email either as this includes details of all the facilities. I think you may have used the older overflow facilities rather than the newer ones. There was a wonderful atmosphere on the campsite with lots of our regular customers enjoying the bank holiday weekend. I’m sorry if you were disappointed.

Highly recommend, we will return!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we're please you liked your pitch and the friendly staff. One of the WiFi points was down near your pitch but this was fixed as soon as we were made aware of it. The facilities are about 100m from the camping pitches to avoid noise and light disturbance, so that everyone can enjoy the stars and a peaceful night. If you would like to be a little closer to the toilets please mention this on your next booking and we will allocate a closer pitch. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Local attractions

Get keyed up on the local history… with hillforts, National Trust properties and historic steam railways around, there are many jaunts to take you way back. Closest to the site, there's Danebury Iron Age Hillfort (10 minutes’ drive), Mottisfont’s (15 minutes) historical priory, garden and country estate (15 minutes) or Winchester’s (15 minutes) cathedral, castle, markets and fairs. Perhaps the most iconic of the lot, Stonehenge (35 minutes) is a short trip away. Mid Hants Railway 'Watercress Line' (25 minutes) will take you on a ride along a 19th-century heritage steam train line, while the National Motor Museum (45 minutes) and the maritime museum at Buckler's Hard (55 minutes) are full to the brim with old artefacts. Once you’re done with country house tours – perhaps at Broadlands House (35 minutes) or the National Trust’s Georgian Hinton Ampner (25 minutes) – a festival might bring you firmly to the present again. The Boomtown Fair venue (20 minutes) and Carfest South venue (25 minutes) are both close by. But, how to finish off your stay? Maybe the 72-hectare arboretum at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens (20 minutes), the birds of prey experiences at the Hawk Conservancy Trust (25 minutes), Marwell Zoo (half an hour), Salisbury Cathedral (half an hour) or the kid-friendly Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (half an hour)?
