Martha's Down offers wide open, wild-style camping on quiet chalk grassland between Hindon and Chicklade in Wiltshire, just off the A303. It's a simple, honest site rather than a resort, with hot showers, toilets, a chemical waste point, and electric hook-up available on selected pitches. There's room enough for tents, tourers and motorhomes, spaced well apart on open grass, and the site is gated and secure with an entry code sent ahead of arrival. Well-behaved dogs and family groups are always welcome. Nearby, you'll find two pubs and a village shop in Hindon, the Wessex Ridgeway footpath from the gate, and attractions including Mere Museum, Visit Hillbrush and Gold Hill Museum within a few miles, plus Longleat and Stonehenge within a short drive.
