 Very quick on taking the money. Was told by email that we would get a pitch number the day before arriving or might be the morning. I arrived on site with no email sent.

Nobody on site when I arrived. The office door had a number to phone. And again went to answer phone.

Will not be going back. P

WFI was free

Walked 20 mins to the Fox pub for a few drinks.

Booked at short notice

Our pitch was sheltered by the wind but loses the sun in afternoon.

Showers very basic

More showers and toilet been installed in an old Porto cabin

Did not see anyone checking pitches

 Lovely, rural site ideally situated near Winchester. The site does have a self check-in set up which fits with the relaxed feel of the site, it's refreshing not to be surrounded by hundreds of do/don't signs.

The pitch was level, we were really fortunate the site was not full so we were able to enjoy the views across the countryside.

There is a designated space for ball games and a lovely little play area for younger children.

The shower block was functional although if the site was busy I can imagine there would be queues, but we found the showers lovely and hot.

My only comment would be there weren't any grey water disposal points and it was a fair walk to the elsan.

Overall this is a great site which we will definitely be returning to.

Reviewer: Mathco 1 review from this member

 Loved the simplicity and ease of accessing the site (contactless). Pitches fairly close to each other but being on the end it didn't matter much.

A lively group opposite us kept us entertained and eventually stopped playing the guitar at 11pm.

The extra toilets added for covid were welcome although not as nice as the toilets in the main brick building.

The washing-up sink area really needs a cover over them (like the ones over the entrance to the toilets) as it's not nice washing up in the rain.

Apart from that, it was a nice site to meet friends for a couple of days - socially distanced of course!

 Our first stay at Folly Farm, just a couple of nights to give our 'van a 'shakedown' after a longer inactive period this year.

Nice site, lovely location, well kept and the facilities nice and clean. Good, safe arrangements in place for early on after 'lockdown'. Dave really helpful and pleasant.

Site did fill up very quickly for the weekend, and unfortunately some did spoil the otherwise peaceful environment with their noise, but that could happen anywhere.

That aside, Folly Farm a good experience.

 Stayed here for the weekend. Nice site. Toilets are not bad and clean.

There is only the one toilet/shower block, this is by reception on the way in. There are 2 toilets on their own, 1 shower on its own, then 3 showers with toilet and basin. All unisex.

Only thing is, there is no where to put things in the showers, could do with some shelves and maybe some wooden duck boards to stand on so your not in the wet when you come out of the shower. Could also do with a bigger shower room, for parents with children.

Dave is very friendly, the site manager. All pitches are around the edge of the fields, which are nice and flat. Water taps are in convenient places.

The site looks out across fields, which is a nice outlook. The Fox pub is not far away, but it is a walk down a country lane with no pathway. Shops not far away.

Nice and quiet of a night too, even though the site was nearly full. We had a very relaxing stay and will be going back.

 We have been visiting this site for many years. It is relaxed and friendly, the grounds are well kept and the pitches are level.

We stay in the back fields which are further from the facilities but have lovely views across the countryside.

The campsite is popular with families and couples and has a children's play area.

Ideally located for visiting Winchester and surrounding area.

 We had a wonderful, relaxed time at Folly Farm. Although David wasn't there when we arrived, he was available on the phone and was very helpful. We had complete freedom to choose a spot and the electric hook up was well maintained and easy to access.

It is in a fantastic location; very close to Winchester and Stockbridge, but very rural and peaceful. Aldi and Waitrose are only 4 miles away!

I agree there could be more facilities possibly closer to the fields for tents but I only had to queue once for the shower and not for long. A very lovely, friendly lady cleaned the showers and toilets regularly throughout the day so they were always in a clean and fresh state.

We will definitely be back to stay.

Reviewer: Spocke 1 review from this member

 Our first visit to Folly Farm, for our annual group camping trip. 6 families (11 adults, 14 kids (7-15years) and 1 dog). We live locally, so we know that Winchester, Stockbridge, the Test Way and Mottisfont are absolutely wonderful.

David was extremely accommodating putting our group at the end of the second field, giving us an enormous amount of space for the kids to play, all of us to sit, eat and bbq together.

On arrival we were directed to our pitch, informed of the unisex sanitary block, the firepit regulations and the number to call should the reception be unmanned.

The site has 3 fields. The first one being used by caravans, some long term.

We were on the second field, bordering on to farm land and one side was lined with trees giving us plenty of shade.

The third field was another tent field with no shade and a playground beyond that.

The kids loved exploring the extended woodland walk which was also great to exercise the dog and was kept perfectly clean.

Firepits off the ground are allowed, the site provides wood planks to lay underneath to protect the grass from burns. Ash bins are also provided.

We had a brilliant time, though a couple of points that should be considered or could be improved upon: there is no glass recycling, which would be a welcome addition. Also, (from what I saw) there are 4 toilets and 3 showers on site, which doesn't seem much. Though I did not once have to queue, so maybe it's adequate after all. The sanitary block could do with an overhaul, but it was clean with plenty of hot water.

We had a wonderful time and have already agreed our visit for next year.
