Our beautiful site

  • Family-friendly farm site a 10-minute drive from Westbury, Wiltshire
  • Bratton White Horse five minutes’ drive; Bath 40 minutes
  • Dogs welcome; cycle hire; about a half-hour walk from the village pub
Set within the Salisbury Plain escarpment in rural Wiltshire and on the edge of the Bratton Downs, Country View Camping is an established retreat. Surrounded by stunning scenery, walks and medieval history sites, this is a place for people passionate about the outdoors. As well as being family-friendly, the site welcomes well-behaved dogs. The field is dotted with round hay bales (in season only, of course) and overlooked by gentle slopes known for the Bratton White Horse, a gigantic silhouette of a horse carved into the chalky hill and visible for miles around. It takes about five minutes’ drive to reach this local landmark, or a 40-minute walk. It’s also possible to hire a bike on site and get there on two wheels in about 10 minutes. Keen hikers will have a vast choice of potential destinations here – from Clanger Wood (five minutes), a Site of Special Scientific Interest thanks to its populations of butterflies, moths and nightingales, to the paths along the River Avon (like the Millennium Riverside walk, 15 minutes). You’re also between two National Landscapes here: Cranborne Chase (20 minutes) and North Wessex Downs (35 minutes) for further scenic trails. Barbecues are provided, but if you’d rather not bother with cooking, there are a handful of pubs in the area serving traditional food, including one in Bratton (five minutes, or a 25-minute walk). The farm is also a 10-minute drive from the market town of Westbury where there are further dining venues. The site has a toilet block and showers, plus charging facilities and recycling points.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Playground and bouncy castle had my child entertained so much he was not all interested in anything else. The campsite has a lovely view.

Disliked Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, especially around the club house area and the toilets. Can’t rely on the cafe being open for breakfast. Don’t forget it’s camping so that means catering for yourself!

Liked Hospitality of the hosts. Onsite bar and great views.

Disliked Not much to do in the local town. Walks were nice and the view from the white horse was amazing, but quiet spot otherwise.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The welcome was amazing from Patrick. Everything was explained clearly and he was always willing to help.
The site was generally quiet in a beautiful setting with stunning views
The showers were hot, you could park by your tent, pop in to the bar to play pool or grab a drink and you could freeze your freezer blocks.

Disliked (Purely personal taste) I don't like mixed-sex / communal toilets and showers. Otherwise it was great!

Bell tent

Liked Absolutely everything! We couldn't have asked for more. From the amazing welcome from Patrick, who couldn't do enough to make sure we had everything we needed, to the beautiful setting, views and spacious well equipped bell tents. Our kids, 7 and 8, loved the play area and the bouncy castles, and the free pool table was an added bonus! The site was incredibly safe and the kids could roam independently, while we enjoyed the setting. It was a great location to explore the local area, with lovely local pubs, take aways, and the bar on site serving food and drinks was an added bonus. Patrick has listened to feedback from previous reviews - there are now trolleys and the coffee is fab! A perfect Easter holiday break. We'll definitely be back!

Disliked Absolutely nothing!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Welcome was great - very friendly and easy going. Bar on-site was great if you want to socialise. The facilities are good, with ample washing up and spacious toilets / showers. There is a comprehensive kids play area with a slide and outdoor seating, and the bell tents look pretty good for the glampers. Good level car parking area, and the location is good, with views of the nearby hill. Not quite a view of the white horse, but it's a really nice spot.

Disliked For a camper with my own tent, the field felt like it had been grazing pasture with quite deep ruts and undulations in it and the grass was long and tufty. It's also overlooked by adjacent partially built properties which I didn't want to be too close to. The feel of the place was a bit like a partly finished project, rather than a place that is completed and ready for visitors.

The toilets and bar are covered by 2 ring doorbell cameras which announce to everyone 'Hi, you are being recorded' every time someone walks to the toilet, which got a bit annoying, particularly in the middle of the night.

From the manager: good afternoon
thank you so much for your feedback we must apologize for the security camera notification we had an issue with those which has now been rectified,
in reference to the grass we have now been able to get out there and cut it,
in terms of the partially built properties this is in fact construction of a new swimming pool that should be finished within the next couple of weeks and the building that you refer to are holiday lodges for guests again thank you so much for your feed back we are a new campsite and are always striving to improve our campers experience

many thanks
Patrick

Local attractions

A bag of feed will allow you to get up close and personal with some of the more greedy residents at Fairfield Animal Centre (15 minutes’ drive). Here you can also take alpacas and goats for a walk around the grounds, or help the keepers groom and feed the donkeys. The large play area includes wooden climbing structures. Among the National Trust properties in the vicinity are Westwood Manor (20 minutes) and Prior Park Landscape Garden (35 minutes). The former dates from the late 15th century and is popular for its garden, with a lily pond and topiary hedges. The latter, in a valley near Bath, is a Georgian park dotted with follies such as the elegant Palladian Bridge. A terrace adorned with Victorian-era statues of ancient emperors overlooks the sunken Roman Baths in Bath (40 minutes). A museum displays artefacts unearthed on site, including a bronze head of the goddess Minerva and thousands of silver coins, part of the Beau Street Hoard.
