We have our own delicious 100% pasture fed lamb and beef to buy for hearty evening meals and a pizza oven for your to make the best tasting stonebaked pizzas with bases provided.

Whether you're an outdoor adventurer, foodie fanatic or love touring historic homes and gardens, Wiltshire and the surrounding area has tons on offer and we will provide you with a welcome pack full of useful information.

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Camping

We loved how secluded & quiet the clearing was. We were on plot 6, and we just loved being right next to the woods but then also having a lot of nice green space plus It was sheltered from the wind. Lastly, the shower was great! It had really good pressure and was nice and hot. 100% would recommend! :)

We absolutely love this site. Richard the host is friendly and welcoming, you can tell he’s proud of his site. The eco toilets are great and very well maintained. 👍🏻 Water on tap and a hot shower as well. These are exactly what you need for offgrid camping. You’re surrounded by nature. Falling asleep to the owls waking up to the cuckoo. Perfect. 😍 We even had the pleasure of the cow choir in the next field mooing away. Was great. ☺️ There is also a course fishing lake which you can use for a very reasonable daily fee. Hubby hasn’t fished yet but we had a wander and it is stunning very clean and well maintained lake. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a lovely stay at Sweet Hill. The directions to get to the campsite were easy to follow and the views when we arrived were fab! There was plenty of space and even on a windy night a good amount of protection so we didn’t get blown away. We will definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill Farm

I have always loved Sweet Hill Farm. It’s a lovely relaxed campsite with sea views and amazing walks nearby. Also, being able to have a camp fire is fantastic. The showers are brilliant too. The only disappointment for me this year is that the compost loos have been replaced with horrible portaloos! Please bring back compost loos, they are so much nicer!
