  • 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).

What customers say

Well-kept, clean site with helpful staff. Guests love the spacious pitches, good amenities, and proximity to Winchester. Great for families with play areas and fields. Secure entry noted. Some dated but clean facilities (new ones coming). Little shade on some pitches.

Powered grass campervan campsite

Liked Lots of open space and rural setting but so close to Winchester. The bus stop just up the road for the bus into the city.
My husband said that the toilet disposal facilities were the best he’d seen. He even took a photo of it 😀

Disliked The toilet/shower block. Apparently the one we could use was the only one with heating. It was communal which I really don’t like and very basic, like a public toilet. The washing up room was in there too…..odd!
Wi-Fi was advertised but didn’t get any.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful rural setting and easy access to Winchester, and it’s great to hear your husband was impressed with our waste disposal facilities!

We’re sorry to hear the shower block didn’t meet your expectations. The older block was open during your stay as it has individual self contained heated bathrooms which are nice and cozy when it's colder. There is also a new washing up block with separate washing up areas and a fridge freezer, and we are busy building a new heated facilities block, suitable for the winter months, which will be opening soon. In addition to this, we have our new, modern women's and men's shower blocks which are open during the busier months.

We're sorry to hear you had trouble accessing the WiFi which should be available across the site. Passwords are provided in your welcome email.

We hope you will come and visit again and enjoy the new facilities.

Yes would book again for sure

Mark D.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location, peace and quiet, facilities, safe space. Allows fire pits. The warden welcome.

Disliked Arrivals could be better. A sign saying ‘before entering, pull over and read rules’ as we drove in, didn’t see the rules board and pitched up incorrectly, however, the wardens were very understanding.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful location, facilities, and friendly welcome from our wardens, and that you appreciated being able to have a fire pit.

For convenience, pitching instructions and camp rules are included with your welcome email, along with information on where to find everything on and offsite. We're glad you found the team understanding and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Great for tents and caravans etc.. Wardens are tops.Quiet.Flat pitches

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We stayed post school hols. A dog friendly camp site was immaculate. Very quiet. Road noise in the morning noticeable but due to how quiet it is! Wardens, Jo and Kevin are 10/10. Friendly & professional. Walk rounds every evening. Perfect. ANRP car/gate entry. Safe and secure. Truly could not ask for more. Just come prep’d with everything you need.

Disliked This isn’t a dislike- could be a pro. Shops are a drive to get to. Can’t really find a negative!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful, dog-friendly setting and felt secure with the ANPR entry. Jo and Kev will be so pleased to hear your kind words. We’re really glad you had such a great stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We loved this site! The fact that there's no bar/ restaurant Meant it's lovely and peaceful! The facilities are great, I especially loved the outside washing up area even though there is also washing up facilities under cover too. The toilet/shower blocks were always kept clean. Would definitely recommend for a chilled break! We will return.

Disliked The only thing I personally disliked was the new showers. The shower head is fixed to the wall and quite high but the water was lovely and warm with good pressure so really no big deal.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the peaceful atmosphere and found the facilities clean and convenient, and that you enjoyed the temperature and pressure of the new showers. It’s great to know you had such a relaxing stay and would recommend us for a chilled break. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Liked The layout and location of the site.

Disliked Lack of motor home grey waste disposal, especially for foreign vans. The shower blocks appeared to be closed for long periods each day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the layout and location of the site, as well as the cleanliness of our facilities. We’re sorry to hear you experienced some difficulty using the grey waste point, and we’re currently looking at ways to improve access for all types of motorhomes.

Regarding the shower blocks, the smaller facilities remain open while the larger ones are being cleaned and there’s a notice displayed to advise guests of this. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to make the site as comfortable and convenient as possible for everyone.

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)?
