Martha's Down

Martha's Down is a little gem of a place to get away from it all. It's a good sized field which apart from the electric hook up pitches, is free for you to make camp anywhere. Rob the owner appears a few times during the day to ensure that everything is spic and span and to hand out fire pits and lots of logs for those who have ordered them (this can be done directly through him if you change your mind once on site). There is a 10 minute walk down to the village with two great pubs to enjoy yourself in - they are both very welcoming. Walking back up the hill (it's not too steep) is only slower if you've filled yourselves up on the excellent food and beers that they've offered you!!
The toilets and showers are good, functional and clean and better than some other sites that we've stayed in.
Plenty of room to fly kites, have a game of footy with the kids, and well behaved dogs are tolerated. There are some nice walks around there but be prepared as whilst not steep, there is little flat ground to walk through which gives you the bonus of being able to take in some great views of the beautiful surrounding Wiltshire countryside.
We've been to a lot of sites and this is in our top 3 - it has everything we like in a site and are a little reluctant to tell everyone else in case it becomes too popular!!!

There's nothing that we dislike!

Good location, quiet and flat site.

Showers had only a dribble.of water

Lovely field, close to village, nice walk. Good toilet facilities.

How friendly Rob is,
The opportunity to be next to our friends in an electrical pitch,
How quiet the camp site is,
The short walk to a selection of local, friendly pubs,
The toilet and shower facilities were amazing - 5 stars,

Absolutely nothing.

Lovely location in walking distance of a nice country village and pub. Had dinner at the Grosvenor and would highly recommend.

Flush not great in the toilets but all amenities a good quality and clean.

Peaceful location, spotless toilets on arrival. Unobtrusive but friendly owner. Flat pitches. Toilets/ Shower facilities don’t appear to be a permanent fixture but rather the deluxe eventing trailer type. There was plentiful hot water and water pressure was good. Facilities only appeared to be cleaned once daily but this might have been due low occupancy following the bank holiday. Locked entry to camping field which is given on arrival.

Festival style porta loos

The pitch was flat and we could chose our spot. The site wasn't busy and lots of space and quiet. The owner delivered more than enough wood for our firepit which we enjoyed sitting and playing games around. We took our own grill for the firepit to cook on as the hired firepit didn't have one, but I knew that as had read previous reviews. The showers and toilets were clean with washing up facilities behind the block. Water taps placed around the field saved a walk to the sink. It had everything we wanted for our stay, which was just the basics and to be left alone.
We didn't take a dog, but it was a doggie friendly site as very spaced apart pitches and lovely to see them enjoying themselves with their families coming back from long walks.

We visited a different part of the country later in the year and everyone wanted to rebook this one at Martha's Down next time. Truly relaxing.

Nothing

We enjoyed a lovely bank holiday stay. Plenty of places to pitch around the large field. Hot showers and clean toilets plus additional porta-loos located around the field. Quiet site with beautiful views and a short walk to the pretty village of Hindon with 2 pubs. Perfect site for relaxing while they kids played.

The view was fab, and it was a pleasant walk to the village of Hindon which has two really lovely pubs! The toilet and shower block were clean, well-lit and worked well and we found the site nice and peaceful. Also, Rob was very helpful upon our arrival.
