We visited this site as our first camping experience. It's very beautiful and has good clean toilets. The only thing I didn't like was the road that ran past, it very busy and could be heard at 5 am. Apart from this it's a great site. The weather was terrible within 2 hrs of being there, however the camp site managers came straight out in the rain to check everyone was ok, they were lovely and most helpful

Cons - no showers, only four cubicles and one urinal in the gents.
Pros - Biggest rabbits you ever did see in the enclosure by the wardens' hut! Camping among the trees and you can walk off site into Savernake Forest.
The few facilities may make this one preferable for caravans. The wardens in their dark green poloshirts and their wooden hut give the place a National Park feel, but they're very helpful.
We were there on an August weekend but the site absorbed a lot of people without feeling crowded.
Shady trees were great when it got hot.
In response to another review, yes there are a lot of signs around, this is Forestry Commission territory after all! If that's going to bug you, best go elsewhere. The rules seem to be partly 'in reserve, ' it says 'no ball games except in the play area' but the wardens didn't seem bothered, presumably unless someone was causing a nuisance.
For us, a feeling of really getting away, even though only 40 min from home.

Great area for cycling. Enjoyed staying on this site. Other campers very friendly and helpful. Had one scary night when it was very windy and bits of trees were flying around.
The facilities were adequate and clean. Best to book early to be sure of a place. I arrived a bit late at night having got lost on the way and had to be very quiet while putting my tent up.
Lots of children on site all having a good time. Would return

Postern Hill is a wonderful camping community. The pitches are fairly close together, but instead of seeming intrusive, this seems to contribute to the neighborhood feel of the site. We had several fellow campers make kind offers--a torch, tea, food--and the proximity, I think, encouraged that.
As we were backpacking with bikes and a tiny tent, we were told to choose our own pitch and put up our tent (2x2 meters in size) wherever we pleased, which was a lovely option. The site had dozens of children, all of whom had scooters and bikes and with whom my daughter had a great time playing. There are also rabbits on site, and kids can go into the warren area if supervised and watch and feed the rabbits, which was a big hit with my daughter.
The site manager's hut has a great sample of pamphlets for the area and the managers themselves were friendly, gregarious, and very helpful.
We had a restful night with kind and friendly neighbors, a lovely time with our temporary neighbors and their children and pets, and found the location to be especially pleasant.

Postern Hill is a pleasant campsite set amongst woodland just outside Marlborough although just off a main road which can be quite noisy during the day.
Pitches are plentiful and flat. Barbecues are allowed (but must be kept off the ground).
The toilet block is clean and well maintained as is the outside washing up area. The main drawback of this site is that is has no showers and as a result it is difficult to see how one could stay for more than one night with only a tent.
There is a large Tesco at the bottom of the hill about 10 minutes walk (there is a footpath out from the back of the site) and Marlborough town centre (with several pubs and restaurants) is approximately 20 minutes walk away.
Overall I would recommend this site for an overnight stay in a tent but the lack of shower facilities would make it difficult to stay for more than one night.

Just returned from a muddy weekend at the Postern Hill site. Site itself is reasonable, however when wet as this time the pitches were a nightmare. Why the Camping Caravanning Club who run the sites can't find some gravel to make a few hard-standings I don't know.
I found the charges reasonable for 2 over 55's however the £5 per night for electric hook up is in my opinion gross. Looking at the tariffs if one had a car visit you whilst camping (£3) then per person (£2)
Wardens friendly and helpful, no toilets or other facilities in winter except the usual water and toilet drop.
Waste water is chuck in the hedge and is fairly easy to drop when best part of the site is empty, however when full could present a problem.
Overall, we would return as the site serves a purpose to enable us to visit our grandson nearby, its not the best site I have ever visited.
