The crunch of gravel under tyres, then Hampshire hedgerows giving way to open downland skies — Wyke Down feels like you've found a proper slice of countryside between Andover and the Test Valley.
This is a caravan and campervan site that suits tourers looking for a peaceful base in mid-Hampshire, whether you're a couple exploring the chalk streams and market towns or dog walkers (worth asking about the pet policy when you book) planning loops across Salisbury Plain's northern edges. Picket Piece itself is a quiet spot, and you're well placed for Stonehenge, Winchester, and those famous trout rivers if you don't mind a scenic drive.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail here, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's onsite — this feels like a no-frills, traditional touring park rather than a glamping hub. Campfires are a "check on arrival" situation, so ask the wardens when you pitch up. Expect a laid-back, old-school vibe: the sort of place where folk nod hello over the kettle and let you get on with your trip in peace.
