Wide open camping
in Wiltshire.
Wild-style camping on quiet chalk grassland — hot showers, honest facilities, and a lot of sky. Family and dog friendly, gate code sent on arrival.
Camping, not glamping.
This is a field, not a resort — big open grazing land between Hindon and Chicklade, kept as simple and quiet as camping should be. No fixed pitches to jostle for, plenty of room to spread out, and views across the down in every direction.
Well-behaved dogs are always welcome, and so are family groups with a barbecue and a bit of noise before dark. Bring a proper torch: parts of the field are unlit once the sun's down, and that's rather the point — on a clear night the sky here is dark enough for a proper look at the stars.
Martha
A Suffolk-cross ewe who arrived as a bottle-fed orphan lamb and never quite left. She's since made herself gatekeeper to the flock of twenty-two that graze the down, and she's usually the first to notice new arrivals.
Honest facilities, kept properly.
Nothing flashy — just what you need, clean and working.
Hot showers & toilets
Kept clean throughout the season, day and night.
Electric hook-up
Available on selected pitches — mention it when you book.
Chemical waste point
For anyone bringing their own onboard toilet.
Family & dog friendly
Well-behaved dogs welcome, no restrictions on family groups.
Tents, tourers & motorhomes

Countryside weddings.
Martha's Down also hosts marquee weddings on the same open grassland — with camping laid on for guests who'd rather make a weekend of it than drive home. Get in touch to talk through dates and what's possible.
