Settle in for friendly stays at The Crown Inn, a site welcoming kids and adults in the grounds of a traditional country pub. It's 10 minutes’ drive from the Wiltshire market town of Devizes with views of the Saint Mary of the Virgin church spire from its green grounds. In the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, this dog-friendly place is well located for scenic hikes and rambles among historical sites and hilly countryside: within five minutes, join the 13-mile Wansdyke Path towards Marlborough or follow the long-distance track along the Kennet and Avon Canal that connects Bristol and Reading. On wanders hereabouts, keep eyes to the hillsides… some within an easy trot are home to ancient white horses – chalk horses, that is. The White Horses of Devizes and Alton Barnes are roughly 10 minutes away and the famed Westbury White Horse is within 35 minutes. Effort-free days on site are very much in order too – fill up on local eats in the pub then nurse a drink in the beer garden while the kids play or get to know the friendly goats. The pub is pretty popular, so booking is essential. Two 24-hour outdoor toilets, combined with a shower, are on site, and accessed by key code (please note these can get busy at peak times when the pub facilities are not open). You'll also have access to drinking water and a washing-up sink.

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked We really enjoyed our one night stay. Lovely quiet location with the added bonus of the pub! Friendly welcome on arrival, with a BBQ in the evening. Cooked buffet breakfast on a Saturday morning was an unexpected bonus.. The 2 washrooms are fine and v clean, but the key code entry is tricky at night. Great walks nearby for four legged friends. Will definitely be back!

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Beautiful location, walkers paradise.. we only live a few miles away but thought we’d give it a go as due to a busy work schedule we wanted to find something local… 13 mins drive and we arrived! But once we set up our bits we could have been anywhere! We camped on a Saturday, beautiful weather so we hiked a local walk along the canal and up to the Wansdyke path, the scenery is stunning, we have 2 spaniels and they loved it also.. we will defo return for a quick and easy 1 nighter… spoke to the landlord before we left and seemed a nice local bloke.. when we arrived the girl behind the bar was very friendly and helpful..

Disliked Maybe the five pound charge if I'd wanted to use shower and toilet but it was a one night stay so managed without.

Local attractions

There’s no need to venture far for local attractions when settling in at this site: it’s a five-minute drive to spots like the Avebury Stones circle, the prehistoric artificial chalk mound of Silbury Hill and the Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum. Travelling a touch further – around 10 minutes – will get you to the market town of Devizes with its castle, museum and brewery plus a whole host of shops and restaurants; Bowood House and Gardens, on the other hand, is 20 minutes’ drive for wanders around a Grade I listed Georgian country house and its 100 acres of pretty parkland. Schedule in some time to linger for longer at Lacock, a well-preserved village run by the National Trust that’s barely changed since the 19th century – so little so that it’s appeared in Downton Abbey. Recognise scenes from the series while tottering around the traditional stone cottages, old workhouse, medieval tithe barn and village church 20 minutes’ drive from The Crown Inn.
