Fancy a bit of wild-style camping but without a wild and complicated journey to get there? Make for Martha's Down, in a cracking Wiltshire countryside spot a couple of minutes’ drive from the A303, just south of Chicklade. Such a handy location makes this a top spot for cross-country stopovers, but those that choose to stick around for a little longer should be richly rewarded with fine views (as it’s in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and places to go for day trips (what with Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Stonehenge, Stourhead and Longleat all being within a half-hour drive…) The vibe here at Martha’s* place is ‘wild-style’ rather than completely wild camping – that means all the relaxed atmosphere and peace of a rural site but with the added comfort of hot showers and ample toilets (there’s also a chemical waste disposal point if you’re in possession of your own toilet facilities). This is a place that’s keenly family friendly, so it allows well-behaved dogs and has a strict quiet time from 10pm to 8am that all guests are asked to keep to. Family gatherings round a barbecue are most welcome too: there’s a village shop 15 minutes’ walk away for picking up the bits, although you may just choose to stick around in the village to eat at one of the two pubs instead. (*Martha being, of course, the owners’ favourite sheep that they hand-reared after she was orphaned as a lamb. See if you can spot her now among the small flock of ewes on site…)

Tomt med elektricitet på gräs

Tyckte om: As long as you know what you’re signing up to , a field with the option of electric or not, on an unmanned site, you can’t go wrong. This was a well maintained field, very peaceful, with no noise from the roads. although I was a bit hesitant about the portaloo cabin situation the toilets were spotlessly clean and really quite modern.
We didn’t use the showers so can’t comment there.
Rob was on hand on text or call and was lovely to deal with.
Wed definitely stay here again if we wanted to explore the area more or a stop over before moving on.

Tyckte inte om: Not much not to like on this visit.

Tomt med elektricitet på gräs

Tyckte om: Simplicity, showers and toilets were immaculate, plenty of space, level pitches, electric hookup worked as it should.

Friendly village with 2 pubs and a shop a comfortable 15 minute walk.

Pretty much Self-Serve but friendly staff just at the end of a phone.

Very peaceful.

Tomt med elektricitet på gräs

Tyckte om: The site was lovely, the toilets and showers were very clean and there was plentyb9f space on our pitch.
We had an issue with our pitch on arrival and the owners resolved the issue quickly.
The sore has some gorgeous views of the rolling countryside and it was so quiet despite there being lots of pitches is use around us.
My boys loved riding their bikes and playing rounders.
We were super close to the A303 and a lovely village 30 mins walk from the campsite. We drove 20 mins to Stonehenge and 20 mins to Longleat Safari park.
There's no WiFi, but we had really good phone signal (I'm on O2, husband on Vodafone and ID mobile).
Lots of drinking water points too.

Tyckte inte om: Nothing - it was a lovely site

Tyckte om: This unmanned site is well kept with a great view across the downs. Some clean new mobile toilets and showers are also kept clean. There is a few Electric hook ups along one side of the feild. Dont forget to contact the site before you arrive!!! As unmanned you will probably need a gate access code. We never noticed this and got locked in for a while.

Tyckte inte om: No common undercover area.

Tyckte om: Having been going to Martha’s Down for some years, we always enjoy going back. It’s so pleasant and the scenery is fabulous. Gorgeous to sit out and look at the view with a nice drink, before wandering down to the village. We cycle for hours around the villages and usually go out for lunch, but we do stay sometimes and have a bbq. Lovely place to stay, you could be anywhere in the world at Martha’s.

Tyckte om: Great, clean toilets and showers. Easy to find off main roads. Secure gated site with masses of room. Adequate wash up facilities. Peaceful apart from an idiot with a very loud radio but that's not owners fault it's just the poor standards of some people these days.

Tomt med elektricitet på gräs

Tyckte om: Nothing

Tyckte inte om: The facts

Just a field
Cattle style gates with padlocks
Being put next to toilet facilities
Given an option to move
Moved 2 pitches up
Elec lead was too short, but ours is 15 metres as standard
Caravan we were next to was pitched over our pitch so that's why our lead wouldnt fit,
It looked like the person was living there
Scruffy caravan, awning, and full of empty alcohol bottles, grass around it was about 1 foot high, so you can Imagine not very appealing to us. The 3rd option was in the corner if the field but so small we would be looking at the hedges with no view, plus everyone down that side we're all kicking a football around and I wouldn't want that all night.
The grass was long so we struggled with the caravan.
We decided just to leave as it was too stressful.
So hooked the caravan back up and headed of.
I contacted the people in charge or owners not sure.
There reply was seeing as you didn't pitch up we can't offer you a refund!!!! Also saying about the facilities it had were described on website. I knew what facilities it had we've got our own in the caravan so didn't need any.
I find this really bizzare, why would you pitch up and stay if you weren't very happy? Cause that's saying that you don't like it but ur put up with it?
I work on a holiday site and in customer service ,,if a customer wasn't happy and it wasn't described as it should be and didn't stay it would be sorted with no questions asked.
I want my money back(£30) as it wasn't as described.We had to find another pitch somewhere else and pay another £32.99,,, but it had so much more to offer.

Från föreståndaren: hank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience at our site. We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations.

We understand that you encountered several issues during your visit. However, we were not made aware of these concerns at the time, which limited our ability to assist you effectively. We strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and we regret that we were not given the opportunity to address your concerns during your stay.

Upon your arrival, we offered you alternative pitches to accommodate your needs. We understand that the options provided did not meet your expectations, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our standard electrical leads are 15 meters, and we regret that this was insufficient for your setup due to the neighboring caravan’s positioning. Had we been informed of this we would have provided you with a longer lead.

Regarding the condition of the neighboring caravan and the surrounding area, we will review our site maintenance protocols to ensure that all pitches are kept to a high standard.

We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services. However, as you chose to leave without pitching up and utilizing the facilities, we are unable to offer a refund. Our facilities and site conditions are described on the website, and we encourage guests to review this information prior to booking.

Lokala sevärdheter

Whether you’re taking the dog for a wander or sloping off for a well-earned pint in the pub you’ve come to the right place for country walks – there are oodles of paths to pick from in the local area. If you'd rather pedal, have a chat with the folk at local outfit Cranks and Planks for e-bike hire. For a rather grander backdrop to your rambles, aim for the gorgeous gardens at Stourhead (15 minutes’ drive) or the lakeside Old Wardour Castle (20 minutes) – this latter is in a ruined state but still intact enough for youngsters to play at being knights. Surely no visit to this area would be complete without stopping by at Stonehenge (20 minutes) to see the ancient circle up close, and taking a stroll around Salisbury (half an hour) to explore its market and gaze up at the cathedral’s 123-metre spire. A full day out should certainly be planned at Longleat (20 minutes) as well – alongside the drive-through safaris are friendly farm animals, a mini railway to ride on, a castle-themed playground and one of the biggest hedge mazes in the world (plus a very smart house with formal gardens and art collection, if that’s more your thing…)
