  • Scenic and peaceful site surrounded by gorgeous villages such as Calne
  • A five-minute drive from Cherhill White Horse
  • Fishing lakes, shop, bar and nature trail with goat feeding
Ever seen the famed Westbury White Horse, high up above an Iron Age hill fort on Salisbury Plain? You can get to it within a 35-minute drive with a stay at Blackland Lakes. But there's more of that even closer by: this peaceful rural place is a mere five-minute drive from the famed equine etching of Cherhill White Horse. For those planning to spend days lazing around at base (after a trip to see one of the two horses, of course), Blackland has two coarse fishing lakes filled with carp, tench, perch, roach, bream and gudgeon, with mirror carp up to 25lbs in Heron Lake and bream to 11lb in both. Another lake is set aside as a habitat for wildfowl for those who'd rather laze about this green and scenic setting. The park covers 17 acres, divided into secluded grass paddocks. A big highlight is Sam's Bar, open from April to September (mainly at weekends), selling a range of draft beers and ciders, soft drinks, hot drinks, ice creams and pizzas. The team has also opened a well-stocked and licensed shop, selling essentials, drinks, ice cream and camping basics like tent pegs. Within the shop is a small tourist info section with leaflets on local attractions, events and details of local pubs, restaurants, and takeaways that can deliver your dinner straight to the site. Blackland is at just outside the village of Calne, at the foot of the North Wessex Downs. The closest pub serving food is about 10 minutes' walk away.

What customers say

Well-kept, spacious campsite with friendly staff & lovely nature. Good facilities, shop & bar. Peaceful, with level pitches & trails. Great for families (playground, goats popular). Some found facilities a bit dated, road access & shower temp/pressure could improve.

Shirley W.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful site with level pitches and water/electric per pitch (in paddock 4). Liked the walking trail around the site. Staff very friendly. As others have said, imagine it can get very busy in the summer months, and if you’re a family with children this would probably be great.

Disliked Nothing really, just quite pricey at £40/night

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Plenty of room between pitches, quiet, good facilities and clean chemical waste area. Nice walk into Calne for the adventurous!

Disliked Abit flooded with a few potholes but we’ve had loads of rain so hardly surprising!! No WIFI which is a real pain, would be good to get this sorted!!

A decent site that just needs a few things tightening up.

Neil D.

Non-electric grass pitch (medium)

Liked Decent pitches, plenty of space and friendly staff. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere but only a few minutes away from Calne so everything you need is a short drive away at worst.

Disliked Access road is in poor condition (potholes and standing puddles). Nothing major but it stood out against the rest of the site being good.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful site & the facilities are clean & tidy. We had a serviced pitch close to the lake which was really nice.

There's a play area for younger children to play in & some goats on site which you can see too.
It looks like there is an outside bar & seating area but obviously closed during winter months.
Overal a nice quiet, relaxed site & very easy to find.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Great location, we stayed from the 26th December 2025 until the 30th December. Understandably there was only one shower block open. Which had two showers and three toilets. Easy access, quiet, you would need either a car or a bike to access any shops. Nice hot showers. Nice sized pitch.

Disliked Shower block basic, shower squidgy didn’t really work to move water out of shower room, after showering, it was too big to go through the door.

Local attractions

The Westbury White Horse – Wiltshire's famed giant chalk horse carved into the slope of Salisbury Plain – is a 35-minute drive from Blackland Lakes, on the edge of Bratton Downs. Standing 80 feet tall and 170 feet wide, it's viewable for 16 or 17 miles around its setting; from the horse itself, you'll be able to see Bratton Castle and the white horses of Devizes and Alton Barnes. This is most certainly a land of archaeological and world-famed historical highlights: reach the pretty village of Avebury and its three prehistoric stone circles within 10 minutes' drive and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stonehenge within 40. If your tastes are more modern, a vintage motor museum is less than 10 minutes' walk away. Take a trip out to any of the area's market towns such as Calne, Devizes, Chippenham, Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett and Marlborough, all within 25 minutes' drive. Bath is about 35 minutes away. For peaceful sightseeing within a short drive, try Bowood House and its landscaped gardens, five miles away, and the National Trust village of Lacock eight miles from the site, a magical place that's had screen appearances in the likes of Downton Abbey and Harry Potter.
