Campsites near Salisbury

·

Salisbury is best known as the gateway to Stonehenge—arguably the world’s most famous prehistoric stone circle—but there’s more to the historic city than its headline act. Marvel at the medieval masterpiece of Salisbury Cathedral, admire the half-timbered buildings as you browse the shops, or tuck into some traditional British food at a city pub. Campers have options on the outskirts of the city, and the Wiltshire countryside has stately homes, National Trust gardens, and scenic walking trails. For the best views, set sail on a boat cruise along the River Avon.

Campsites near Salisbury guide

Where to go

Salisbury Plains

North of the city, the sloping chalk hills of the Salisbury Plains provide ample opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and camping. A visit to Stonehenge is top of everyone’s itinerary, and intrepid campers can time their visit for the annual Summer Solstice Festival. Further north, hike through the North Wessex Downs AONB, where giant white horses are etched onto the hillsides.

Cranborne Chase

Salisbury lies on the eastern edge of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB, with its sweeping grasslands, flower meadows, and river valleys. Hiking, cycling, and horseback riding are popular activities, and with much of the region undeveloped, campers will find it easy to escape the crowds. 

West Hampshire

East of Salisbury, historic Winchester is Hampshire’s most charming city, with cobblestone shopping lanes, a lively street market, and a grand Gothic cathedral. To the south, the ancient woodlands of the New Forest National Park are a natural playground for campers. Walk or cycle along forested trails; spot deer, wild ponies, and other wildlife; or head down to the south coast to camp by the beachside.

When to go

Day-trippers descend on Salisbury and nearby Stonehenge in July and August, so make an early start to avoid the crowds. The most pleasant weather for camping is from spring through autumn, and the surrounding landscapes change with the seasons. Plan a late-spring visit to admire the wildflowers or head to the New Forest in fall to stroll beneath the changing foliage. 

Know before you go

  • Salisbury has a few camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up supplies for your camping trip. 
  • Salisbury has public transport links to many of the surrounding towns and attractions, but it is handy to have your own transport, especially if staying at rural campsites.
  • Most campsites require advance booking, and many ask for the full payment upfront. Be sure to check opening dates, as some campsites close in the winter months.
  • Wild camping is illegal throughout Wiltshire.
