Touring sites in Wiltshire

[BryonySymes]

Hello all!

Do you have any favourite caravan sites in Wiltshire that I should include in my feature on the county? Anything from all-singing, all-dancing to peaceful CL/CS sites; touring parks of all sizes welcome!

Thanks in advance.

A favorite site which we use a lot is Postern Hill (Camping-in-the-Forest).
It is fairly basic, with toilets but no showers. It does have EHU, although in my opinion you don't need it and the non-EHU pitch area (free pitching) is much nicer! It also has the advantage that it is one of the few sites in the area open all year. ( The toilets are closed in mid winter, so you have to be self-sufficient.)

Terrific walking in Savernake forest, and along the canal. Leisure centre nearby and of course Marlborough itself.

The CC site at Salisbury is about the only "proper" site I like.

CL's in the area, although it should come under Hampshire with the lay of the county line, is Carahilda Ltd, Stocks Lane, Landford. When we lived locally we stayed there regularly. Although sadly Hilda is no longer with us it is still family run and I feel sure there won't have been many changes.

There is also one Fordingbridge way that is an Alpaca farm.

Thanks for your tips, Martin! Did you mean the Salisbury Camping and Caravanning Club Site, out by Old Sarum? If so, I've stayed there, too, and loved being able to wander up to the ramparts!

Longleat CAMH site is worth a look. Typical club layout, well maintained and within walking distance of the House and Safari Park and if you are a club member you get a discount for there if you book on line.

No, the Caravan Club site just outside of Salisbury, on a nice steep hill and all laid out nicely in little sections.

Nice C&CC site near to Devizes at Seend. Pub close by, Kennet and Avon Canal for cycling/walking. Convenient for Bath, Devizes, Avebury, Bradford on Avon etc.

At the bottom of the Calne Locks, so a good walk up.

We were persuaded to change from a MH to caravan by the friends we were with.

On the Saturday afternoon, whilst the girls went shopping, the hubbies had a piss up in the Wadworths brewery, as we missed the last tour

The first ever site we stayed on after buying our caravan was Piccadilly caravan park in Lacock. A lovely site within easy walking distance of Lacock village and Abbey

Thanks for that tip. It looks nice, and more my sort of site than the nearby C&CC. (Impressive website once you have realised how to access the menu !!)

re touring sites in Wiltshire

We recently stayed at a CL site nr Melksham, ref 1671 at Norrington Common. It is within easy distance of Laycock,The White horse and Stonehenge. There is also a bus to Bath at regular times .The owner is very helpful.and the site is very well kept. We were not disappointed. WE most certainly will go there again.

Hi Clive
It still works on my Android and main pc.
Maybe just Google Freke Arms Caravan Park?

Looks a nice spot. Nice for a quick weekend away without too much driving.
