“Great views of Old Sarum. Easy access to Salisbury and close to Stonehenge.” P.G. Sargent

Best for:

Walkers, fine diners, dog owners, families, history fans 

Camp in the heart of history at Salisbury Club Site. Located just 10 miles south of Stonehenge, the campsite overlooks Old Sarum, an Iron Age hill fort that features a prehistoric fortress, Norman palace, castle, and cathedral. What more could a history buff ask for?

Time travel

This sloping and spacious site offers quiet countryside views, despite being on the edge of the town of Salisbury. It’s about a mile-and-a-half walk into the town centre, where you’ll find a healthy mix of local restaurants and welcoming pubs. The town’s cathedral is home to the Magna Carta, and the timbered buildings and thriving market may make you feel like you’ve time-travelled back to a bygone age.

Fun for all the family

Of course, proximity to Stonehenge is one of this site’s finest features, however, it’s also close to Avebury Stone Circle, which is equally impressive but often less crowded. For outdoor lovers, Cranborne Chase National Landscape lies to the west, within which Old Wardour Castle is an excellent day trip for all the family.

“Has a lovely feel of being in the country, lots of green space, trees and a little orchard as you arrive.” Maggie Shannon, 2024 

Best for

History fanatics, heritage seekers, shopaholics, fine diners, beach lovers. 

Wander down narrow cobbled streets, explore the grounds of iconic cathedrals, and sample oysters freshly caught from the sea – it’s all possible from Canterbury Club Site. Situated on the outskirts of the city, the site gives you great access to Canterbury’s ancient streets and world-famous cathedral, as well as its abundant shopping and dining.

Country in the city

Despite being on the edge of a city, this campsite feels like it’s in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by pleasant greenery. There are good dog walking routes nearby, while the bus stop outside can take you not only to Canterbury but also to Whitstable on the coast – famous for its seafood and annual Oyster Festival.

Tradition on tap

Canterbury can easily occupy a few days, but after that, you could explore the other coastal gems in the region. Broadstairs is a quaint Victorian seaside town, while Margate offers a traditional British seaside experience with amusement parks such as Dreamland. Inland, the Kent Downs is a wonderful nature reserve that’s ideal for hiking, horse riding, wildlife spotting, or just finding your place in nature.
