The smell of real ale and woodsmoke drifts across the garden from this proper village inn on the edge of Salisbury Plain, where camping pods nestle behind a working pub that's been pouring pints for longer than anyone can remember.
This one suits campers who like a bit of both worlds — sleep outside in your own pod, then wake to a proper cooked breakfast and the buzz of a local. Guest house rooms are there too if the weather turns, and dog walkers will find plenty of chalk downland trails threading out from the village. The Plain stretches wild and wide all around, with Stonehenge just a short drive south and Avon Springs Fishery nearby for anyone who fancies a day on the water.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so ask when you book what's provided in the pods and what the campfire policy is on the night — it varies. The vibe is unpretentious and properly local, year-round and rooted in a real Wiltshire village rather than a manicured campsite. You're staying at a pub, so expect evening company and the sound of life carrying on around you.
