Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Kevinsheldon 36 reviews from this member

 We wanted to visit Salisbury at a site where we could either walk in to the town centre if fine or close to a bus stop so we could use public transport if not. This site fitted the bill perfectly.

Wardens are very friendly and extremely helpful showing us to a great pitch against the hedge alongside Hudsons Field. The toilets / showers were kept clean and we never had to wait. The only problem was that in the dark it could be difficult to see the numbers and letters on the combination lock – especially when you’ve forgotten your glasses!

The council are re-positioning the entrance to stop cars driving onto Hudsons Field so the view from the site is spoiled slightly but the view across to Old Sarum is beautiful. A walk to the old Saxon fort is well worth while but an entrance fee of £3.50 per person meant that we didn’t go in but walked around the ruined cathedral and up the embankment overlooking the town.

The Co-op is about 10 minutes walk away whilst Waitrose (treats only!) is 15 minutes in the opposite direction, half way to the town centre. The first part of the walk is not by the river and not very pretty but after crossing a bridge becomes much more attractive.

Salisbury itself is well worth a visit not only for the cathedral (£5.50) but also for its market and shops. Lots of places to eat and plenty of coffee houses make this a great place to visit.

 The site was larger than expected. The staff were really friendly and someone showed us to our pitch. The site is spotlessly clean and the toilet and shower facilities are excellent. The laundry room had lots of information about things to do in the surrounding area and also had lots of menus for local restaurants and takeaways. Salisbury town centre is only 20 minutes walk away, much of the walk is alongside the river. Stonehenge is 15 minutes drive. We had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend.

Reviewer: Deiseach 4 reviews from this member

 Location, location, location. In the case of this campsite location is everything, both of the good and bad variety. The site was easy to find and is genuinely walking distance form Salisbury along a route where regularly whizz by. A late opening Co-op is very close by. The Stonehenge tour bus stops close to the site which is a definite plus. The approach to the entrance is a bit forbidding through a large public park-type affair, although this must put off opportunistic trespassers (more on that in a moment).

Staff were plentiful on our arrival and we were whisked off to our pitch by a very interactive gentleman who gave us some good advice on how to get around Salisbury. Does the pitch itself come under 'location'? It was beside a hedge which gave good shelter and to our left as we emerged from our tent was the splendid vista of Old Sarum. Less splendid were the 70's flats to our right that loom over the site like a great big looming thing.
The slope on which were were pitched was a bit too much for comfort and all the campervans would trundle past us on the way through the one way system. Drainage must be good though - a monsoon struck us on the first night there and the pitch stayed free of standing water.

The next observation may sound a bit picky. The toilets were clean and well designed on the interior. What was not so good was the code required to enter them. My first two attempts to negotiate the lock ended in embarrassing failure and I had to be rescued by someone coming out. I don't think I ever really got the hang of the system - have I pressed the buttons fully? How do I know the 'memory' of the lock was clear? Did I turn the lock correctly? - and when you consider the aforementioned distance the site is from the main thoroughfare it seems like security overkill.

Still, that may be a bit churlish. The site really is IN Salisbury, the facilities are fine (if confusing) and the staff were excellent.

Oh, and kudos on the shop. Locally farmed eggs - my wife thought they were heavenly.

Reviewer: M n S Crew 5 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 4 nights, the site was nice and clean and the toilets were up to usual standard but got a little dirty due to bad weather but this is to be expected!

The location isn't very rural but it is close to Salisbury and there is a nice walk up to old sarum.

The managers on the site were nice and friendly especially as they lent us an air bed at 9.30pm when ours decided to deflate!

We had a trip to longleat which I can highly recommend. There seemed to be a lot of short stays at this site with people coming and going all the time but this didn't disturb us in any way.

I would recommend this site but not if you want countryside even though the views were nice!

Reviewer: Thefamily05 1 review from this member

 Just got back from 2 days at this site booked at the last minute. Facilities were fab, plenty of toilets and sinks which were clean. Only 4 showers in the ladies so a queue formed at peak time. Site was well maintained with plenty of space between each pitch, in fact they were very particular that there was the right amount of space between each pitch.

No ball games were allowed in the camp site but there was a huge field just outside the campsite for ball games. Not many pubs etc nearby but there is a Harvester within walking distance which was fine. There is a co-op close by for provisions although there is also an on-site shop but this closes at 5.30pm and has essentials.

The setting for this site is really nice and we had a great time camping with 2 kids (one who is 3yrs and the other is 5 months). Salisbury was lovely with plenty to do in the area.

Only v slight negative is that this site is a bit pricey, nearly £50 for 2 nights but I guess you pay for the nice facilities.

 We spent two nights on this site. We did have slight difficulty locating the site mainly due to some road works going on at the entrance to Hudson's Field.

First impression was that the site was very well maintained although some units overlooked what seemed to be an industrial area, we were offered hard standing with a view of Hudson's Field and Old Sarum (well worth a stroll up to). This enabled the children to play in the field but within eye sight of us (as ball games not allowed on site). The staff were really friendly and helpful.

The facilities were very good and there was a small shop on site, however there is also a Co-op within walking distance, (approx 10-15mins).

We walked into Salisbury (approx 30 mins) this is well worth it as it is a lovely riverside walk, and a visit to Salisbury is a most. The site is also within 15 mins (driving) of Stonehenge.

Would definitely book again, although a little more pricey than others sites we booked.

Reviewer: Stevet7913 7 reviews from this member

 Stayed on this site for 6 nights and also on two previous occasions. The facilities are very good and always clean. Very nice view of Old Sarum and the location is quiet. A number of residential properties are in view but is hardly noticeable. Unfortunately, on my last visit the wardens (one in particular) was very regimental/strict and often 'patrolled' to check if you went outside your pitch, even by a few inches. Although this is a good thing to ensure people do not take advantage I found this extremely over the top - often found my clothes horse moved and collapsed outside my awning by a warden, although it may of been a couple of inches outside the pitch area and not causing a fire hazard or obstruction. In comparison to a C&C club site in Nth Devon that I had previously travelled from the behaviour was the totally the opposite. Unfortunately, I feel this experience does not encourage me to want to stay at this site again

 Just spent two nights here on the way down to the West Country. Extremely well run and neat and tidy in both electric and non electric fields. Mostly motorhomes on site but that's not a problem . Also many visitors from France Germany and the Netherlands so some great conversations had.

Brilliant open space in front - Hudsons Field- more of an open park I would say leading up to the glorious site of Old Sarum. Who could want a better view.

Good 30 minutes walk in Salisbury a lovely town and the reason for all the foreign travellers. Very little to fault.There is plenty of room to park outside if you arrive too early. A great stop off or weekend spot especially for Stonehenge. Oh. And there is a nice Harvester a 10 minutes walk across Hudsons Field.

Will call in again definitely.

 Just spent the last weekend here in our new 'van and despite the amount of rain we had a great time. The site's wardens are very friendly and helpful and was happy to assist when choosing a suitable pitch and even helped and advised setting up on the slight slope. The EHU field is slightly sloping with more of a pitch on the non-ehu field. The grounds were well kept and the facilities very clean. Great location as you could walk along a tow path to Salisbury and the dog loved the field adjacent where we could let him off his lead to run. No play area on site but Hudsons Field is great for kids/kids games. Huge thank you, once again, to the warden.

 Just returned from a great 10 days at salisbury c&cc site, the toilet block was spotless and the water in the showers were the hottest we have experienced on a c&cc site. There are 2 toilet blocks although 1 closes in off peak times when it isn't needed. These blocks have a very useful info room and indoor washing up areas.

The managers were very friendly and helpful and the site is well run.

Some of the pitches slope slightly but was not a problem as the wardens kindly lent us a block of wood to level up the trailer.

There is a small shop on site for basic essentials such as ice cream and bacon.

The site is situated in walking distance to salisbury altho you can take the bus which cost us £6.60 return for 2 adults and 1 child which is easier than taking the car as the traffic is very heavy in the day. There is a waitrose near the site and tesco 2 miles away, a good butcher is located at amesbury and farmers market at lacock abbey on odd saturdays.

We had car trouble when we arrived which was fixed by the 2 genuine and professional gents at Janspeed which is right next to the site about 2 mins walk away.They had our car fixed in a day and you couldn't fault the service or the price :)highly recommended if you need motor repairs.

Salisbury c&cc site is very well run, well placed for local heritage and highly recommended

 Have just returned from staying here over the first May bank holiday. It is a very good site and run very well. The staff are very friendly and extremelly helpful. Although it was bank holiday and the site was full all the amenities were very clean and still lots of hot water. The information room is a great resource and a credit to the site(the best I have seen).

It is very central to Salisbury which is a lovely town and lots to do in the surounding areas.

I would recommend this site to friends and would definitely return to site.

Reviewer: Creativewriter1985 21 reviews from this member

 We chose this site because it's close to the centre of Salisbury and we wanted to explore the town, then head up to Stonehenge and Avebury.
We did have some problems finding the site, didn't see a single sign to help us out, but that is my only complaint. On arrival the lady was very nice, as was the gentleman who showed us where to pitch. We had severe problems pitching the tent due to high winds and ending up ripping the tent in two places. We headed back to reception to ask if they would sell us a stapler / sewing kit for repairs. They didn't have either to sell us, but the lady went and fetched her sewing box and lent us needle and cotton. We explained the problem and the gentlemen then searched the site for somewhere as sheltered as possible from the wind so we could put up the tent. They were both incredibly kind and helpful.

The location is fantastic, it's easy to walk into the town centre, but there are ample car parks if you wish. Due to tent fiasco we didn't get any time to explore or visit the cathedral, but definitely will next time, as well as Old Sarum.

The facilities on the site were great. There was tons of tourist information to hand if you wanted it. The washing up facilities were great, as were the showers and loos. Everything was clean, the water was hot, and again you're encouraged to clean up after your shower, keeping it nice for the next person.

Overall - I'd recommend this site. It's in a fabulous location, if a little exposed if you're in a tent and it's windy (!), and the staff are lovely and couldn't help us enough! Facilities fabulous too. Will definitely return.

 Just returned from a great campsite! Warden and staff very friendly and helpful.

Toilets spotless, showers hot and laundry facilities wonderful!The laundry also doubles as the info centre with all tourist leaflets, books on local restaurants and takeaways.

Great site for visiting Salisbury town centre, Stonehenge, Avebury and other archaeological sites. Old Sarum fort is across Hudson's Field and takes 10 mins to walk.Harvester is also by Old Sarum and does cheap value grub.

Hudson's Field was great plenty of people utilise the field ie Rugby, Football, Kiteflying, Frisbee etc.

Even though the site has a 3 storey block of flats along one side it did not feel intrusive. We felt very relaxed and safe on this site!

Highly recommend this site! We have booked to go back for August Bank holiday weekend for the living history weekend at Old Sarum.

 One word says it all - FANTASTIC!

Site well looked after, Wardens extremely efficient and helpful and facilities superb.

Clean and well presented site, wardens accepted no nonsense from troublesome visitors.

Showers and toilets plentiful, lovely hot water and very clean.

Washing up areas roomy - like home from home.

Laundry room spotless and plenty of local information folders for things to do, places to go.

Nearby Harvester pub served good, reasonable food and allowed dogs outside.

Central to town centre, with local market days.

Well done Hudsons Field - would definitely recommend and return when next passing.

We were very impressed.

 Spent the week of the Summer Solstice at this site, when the site at times was full to capacity. Both the facilities and staff coped with this very well. The toilet facilities are kept spotlessly clean, even more so than the usual C&CC standards.

The site's hardstanding pitches are the plastic mesh type which allows the grass to grow through, so are not so intrusive as gravel hardstandings

The site is ideally located for visiting Wiltshire and the New Forest. Although not a picturesque country setting, the site is brilliantly located within walking distance of the city centre, and a very large Waitrose.

Although the site is locked from 11pm to 7am (usual C&CC rules), there is space to leave your car on Hudson's field if you are returning to the site late in the evening.
