Family Glamping Near Salisbury, Wiltshire

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.

Weekend Trip to The Barn KT9

My recent glamping trip in a bell tent was absolutely great, perfectly blending tranquil nature with a comfortable double bed; soft blankets and pillows and the spacious and thoughtfully decorated bell tent ready and waiting for us. We were able to immediately relax and enjoy our surroundings. It was the perfect escape for anyone who has had a long week at work and loves camping with a touch of luxury. The sun was shinning and it was wonderful to lie hammock! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We loved camping in the bell tents. The views were amazing. We loved that the sheep and donkey roam around the campsite area. The kids activities were a lovely touch and my son enjoyed taking the goat for a walk. We will be back some day!

Weekend Trip to Charisworth Farm

I had the most amazing camping experience here after not camping for 10 years, and it couldn’t have been better! 🏕️ The view is absolutely stunning, and the bell tent was a great size – clean, comfortable, and really cosy. The toilets and showers are quite basic, but honestly perfect for this kind of stay. The host was super helpful with excellent communication throughout, which made everything easy and stress-free. I especially loved the firepit, and wood was available, which made the evenings extra special. 🔥✨ Overall, this place exceeded my expectations and gave me the perfect return to camping. Highly recommended!

5 nights at Homemade Holidays

This is a place to feel connected to the land and to completely let go of all the pressures of modern living. Jan is passionate about bio diversity and I loved walking up to the yurt, brushing past lavender and sage and wild flowers full of bees and butterflies, picking an apple on the way - and having it for breakfast whilst looking over a most glorious sunrise view from Buzzard Yurt. Then a walk in the woods and chilling in the hammock reading and soaking up the birdsong and the sound of the buzzard up above. At night - lying on the deck looking up at a starry sky and sitting round the fire toasting marshmallows. A truly relaxing and healing few days. Thank you Jan.

Beautiful spot! I love that each plot has it's own BBQ and fire pit, this really made a difference to our stay. The games are a great touch and being able to walk to the cafe for a coffee and sausage roll in the morning was the icing on the cake. Honesty box for wood and coal, drinking water, clean (flushing!) toilets and showers, everything you could need. Can't wait to come back.

3 nights at Abbey Home Farm

We had the best time in the Shepherd's Huts - it's such a magical place to stay, with beautiful views over the fields and even it's own little woodland walk. We spent two nights just us and our son, then my cousins pitched a tent on the third night. It was so peaceful to be surrounded by nature and have the place to ourselves. The huts were beautiful and cosy and the beds were comfy too. There was everything we needed to have a camping experience that felt both wild yet easy and with all that we needed. Thanks Abbey Home Farm!

Great little campsite! Richard welcomed us and asked if we needed anything. We asked for a firepit and logs which he brought over straight away. Showed us where everything was and we saw him round the site regularly. We saw many animals from sheep to cows, to geese. It was a quiet site when we first arrived midweek.

Weekend Trip to Radcot Leisure on Thames

We had a wonderful time, excellent location by the river, pub and town. It was very quiet and we had enough space for our three families to run around and enjoy all the nature available! We hired the canoe and paddle boards which were fab. The beds were very comfortable and warm, toilets and showers were decent enough but did get messy quickly with all the usage. The wash up station was very basic and some of the outside benches were a bit tatty so because of that, probably an 8/10 BUT great for families.

This campsite is perfection. We booked a bell tent to celebrate my birthday. It was a great choice. Everything was just lovely from the warm welcome, the help with transporting all our clobber up the hill, stunning views of the mountains and the site is a wildlife haven. We saw baby swallows and a hedgehog and loved the morning birdsong. Come here for absolute peace and tranquility. We can't wait to return.

Family glamping 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.
