We stayed for one night as a stopover to Devon. Lovely clean facilities and friendly wardens. We wouldn’t stay there again as majority of pitches were at the bottom of a long slope, the rest appeared to be taken, so steep climb uphill to use the facilities. So this is definitely not one for us. We were glad we were only booked for one night.
nice but
we arrived and found the majority of the pitches were in shade and under trees . a very pleasant stay non the less.
as this is a small site and being in the woods it seamed as if all the best pitches had been taken by seasonal pitch hire. the wardens were very nice and friendly and helped in any way they could.
Superb small site, ideal for enjoying peace and quiet
We stayed on this site to break a long journey from Kent to Devon. Check in was was quick and easy and available pitch locations were clearly explained to us and marked on the site map. Facilities were spotless and the site in excellent condition.
Pitches were mostly grass but some hard standing were available.....presume these were for motorhomes or twin axle caravans.
Site layout was interesting with an access road spiralling down a hill and back again to the entrance. Pitches were a decent size although visitors should make sure that they have levelling ramps and/or some wooden blocks on board.
We loved the peace and quiet of the site and the site wardens were superb. Helpful, full of ideas and always cheerful. A credit to the CAMC club.
Enjoyable Stay
We have had a lovely stay at Salisbury Hillside.
A very friendly welcome apon check in. Facilities where very clean.
Our pitch was at the bottom of the hill and was quite dark but saying that it was really nice and the peace and quiet was great.
Ideal for Adults
Whilst there was not complains about the site, the toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. They could be a fair uphill walk if you had one of the distant pitches.
Unfortunately the stay was spoilt by the morose attitude and borderline rude means of address of the male warden. Shame really - it costs nothing to be pleasant or polite.
I would not recommend this site for children as there are no facilities for them.

Walking?
Wardens welcoming and no complaints about facilities.
However, we found the site dark and facilities would be quite a long way from some pitches at the bottom of the site.
Walking is definitely not possible as there’s a very busy road at the entrance, and the only walk of half a mile along the side of the site, ends with another road, neither of which you’d want to walk along. A lot of the land appears to belong to the army with no accessible footpaths or bridleways.
We did have a day in Salisbury itself which we enjoyed when we caught the bus at the entrance to the site. If it’s peace and quiet you’re after, it’s great, if it’s walking you’re after ..... it’s not.
So peaceful
We had a lovely stay and the staff very helpful and friendly easy reach for Salisbury and other places a some of the spaces might need levels but not a problem there are some hard standing as well . Lots of little places for 3 or 4 vans in amongst the trees lovely. Would highly recommend and would stay again if we are in the area

Great site, friendly welcome.
Lovely site in a perfect position to break up our journey from East to West. Friendly and welcoming staff on site, facilities clean and in good order. The site is on a hillside so the layout winds down and back up again and some of the pitches are not level but that is to be expected. A lovely quiet and peaceful place to stay.
Welcoming site . Peaceful and well kept.
Such a great site, very welcoming and helpful staff. They keep the site tidy and facilities very clean.
Ideally situated to visit Salisbury either using the Park and Ride or parking in the centre of Salisbury

Overnight stop
We stayed here overnight on our way to East Anglia. It is a very peaceful site and the facilities are well maintained and clean. The warden was welcoming and helpful. The site is in woodland which makes for a restful stay and we will hope to return for a longer visit one day.
