A fantastic stay, it was very comfortable and the grounds were very well maintained. The staff were pleasant and I would stay there again.
Just what we needed!

Lovely campsite for all the family and partners too! We stayed for one night, they have lots of toilets and showers! They have washing up facilities if you want to bring pots and pans (but bring soap) showers clean as can be and toilets have toilet roll stocked. There's big bins, drinking water, play area for kids and even football/badminton fields. There's a bollard entry system, so you can get in and out easily and securely. We spontaneously booked last minute and didn't have a kettle to bring with us or any similar thing, so when I had flask full of water, I was upset to realise it didn't hold the temperature so I couldn't make me and my partner a cup of tea before bed. I emailed David, the owner, at 8pm and bless him, he came over to help with my query about boiling water. He actually helped us by boiling some for us and filling up my flask again! Just a little look into the hospitality and friendliness. He's easy to contact if anything goes wrong and if you'd rather be left alone, you definitely don't get pestered! The only con we had and it was simply unfortunate was that we could hear our neighbours very clearly and unfortunately, we had chatty neighbours next door who were laughing and talking until gone 3am, kept us awake for a good amount of time! But we still had a good night's sleep in the end! Just a case of luck of the draw! The campsite promote a 11pm quiet policy which is a good time to wind down and fire pits are bought when you book your pitch or after if you wish. You will need firefighters or a lighter in general however, but we got ours from down the road when we went to collect Dominos pizzas for dinner! Pitch is big enough for car and tent comfortably! And you get tons of arrival info to help before you go! Thanks for a lovely night away and the cuppa! :)

Our girls loved the games field and the playground. Lovely quiet site. Well run, but only one toilet and shower block seemed open. We booked 1 night in our hired campervan and it was great. Very chilled, full of like minded campers. Very friendly and yet still respectful of privacy. Slight noise from the roads, which didn't bother us. Would book again.

Beautiful place. Sanitary facilities mediocre (almost at all campsites). Beautiful walking area. Translated from Dutch.
Great stay with a group of friends

The site felt immediately safe with an automatic bollard that keeps anyone not registered to be on site off it. The site itself is very clean, quiet and had the space to offer room for us to play games. If you don't have a car, or a desire to wake up early, the site isn't close to any walking routes, though at 6 am we had decided to walk into Crawley along the road as it was quiet enough. The facilities are cleaned thoroughly and the toilets and showers are of a high standard.
Very clean!!!

Very nice campsite. The entrance has number plate recognition cameras so you don’t actually meet the owners/ managers, but it makes it very quick to come and go. Pretty flat and tidy camping areas. The toilets are so clean !!! - obviously get checked multiple times a day. Hot and strong showers. Best campsite we’ve stayed at.
Thank you

We spent 4 nights over the weekend at this site. Very friendly management, great size pitches. A play field with football goals and badminton net, and a park which kept the children entertained. The ANPR entry system was great and made entering and exiting the site very easy. The first few nights, the larger facilities block was open and this felt like there were adequate toilets, sinks and showers. For the last night, the smaller block was open and we went back a few times, but the showers were always in use but quite a lot of people had left the site, so presumably the smaller block is used when there are less people on site. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely stay again.
Very calm and relaxing

Everything was perfect, and exactly what I needed for cycling around and stopping off for a night, thank you for a very calming atmosphere!

Lovely, clean campsite and great play area for kids. Only negative was the noise late at night as our pitch was directly behind a large group, which turned up late and disturbed us well into the night. Other than that, a great base for local amenities.
Quiet site between Winchester and Stockbridge

Arrived safely and with the information in the email, we were able to locate our pitch without any problem. Beautiful grass and well kept. Lovely quiet site with stuff to do, keeping the kids busy. We will return! One thing: Showers are a work in progress. It would be really helpful to have a hook closer to the door to hang the towel - dry yourself before exiting.
Nice park, well kept and peaceful

Nice park, lovely and clean and well kept. New toilet/shower facilities are being built - showers were not as clean as I would like. Insufficient hot water for washing up. I'm sure when the new facilities are all up and running, it will be a 5* rating.
Lovely campsite

First time visiting this campsite, we will definitely be back. They are in process of upgrading some of the facilities but always enough facilities available and level of cleanliness was really good.
Only 1 men's shower on first night, 4 were out of order

The facilities are being refurbished but, at present, there are not enough to accommodate the amount of campers. Bins, waste etc all a trek.
Fantastic campsite in a lovely area

Lovely campsite and very well maintained. Spacious pitches (9X9), with ample space between neighbouring pitches. Clean showers and toilets. Spacious areas for kids to play in and a specific area for dogs to be off lead. Fire pits and logs can be provided for a fee. Lots of water taps around. Owners are fabulous, always walking about checking in on people. Lovely walks nearby too and shops and cafes a few miles down the road. Thank you for a welcoming stay.
Tidy, well managed campsite

Nice campsite. Not far from Winchester, about 10 minutes drive. The pitch was flat and tidy. Well maintained grass not too long or short. Clear pitching instructions could be seen as picky, but make for a tidy, fair campsite where everyone knows what's what. The toilets are basic but cleaned regularly. We went on BH - the site was busy but we never had to wait for a shower and the water was lovely and hot. The secure dog field is brilliant, so nice for the dog to be able to run around. The owners were very diligent checking all was okay and just nice to see them about.. Tip: Take everything you need as no onsite shop or local one in walking distance. Good standard basic campsite - would recommend.
Very impressed

We hired a camper van locally to us and booked a few sites on route to Devon. This is a lovely quiet campsite with clean facilities. Nice level ground and really quiet at night. We only stayed one night but wish we stayed longer, as did our kids as they found others to play football with. We will definitely come back, with our fire pit or hire one of theirs.
Surprisingly good

We don't normally camp in the high season, being retired, but we had a family event in Portsmouth to attend and all the sites around Portsmouth are ridiculously expensive at this time of year. Folly Farm is very good value, and has excellent road access to Portsmouth and (of course) Winchester. A spacious site, well maintained and serviced, good for birding. The team were meticulous managers and always available, dealing with issues promptly. A good low-noise policy and very quiet indeed during the week.
Better than expected

I was just expecting a place to rest after a long journey, but the place is beautiful, quiet and excellent to spend a couple of days. Excellent amenities and the team are great.
