About Henstridge Golf and Leisure

Located in the heart of Somerset's Blackmore Vale, Henstridge Golf and Leisure is a relaxed site that caters to outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful break. This landscaped park offers year-round camping and touring options for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, with hardstanding and grass pitches. These measure 6m x 6m, and optional 10 amp electric hookups (metered) are available too. Set on 70 acres of countryside, the site is home to an abundance of activities, from a well-stocked coarse fishing lake teeming with carp, roach, and tench to a scenic nine-hole golf course for both casual putters and avid golfers alike. The clubhouse serves as a welcoming social hub, featuring a cosy bar, restaurant, and a big-screen TV —and there's even more to explore beyond the park's borders. It's an ideal base to explore Dorset and Somerset. The site is just a 15 to 20 minute drive from Shaftesbury and Sherborne, with its abbeys, castles, museums, and a brilliant lake for kayaking (or more fishing). Seasonal pitches are available, too. Dogs are welcome. However, they must be kept on leads at all times. The site is also located next to an airfield, but this is only used by the air ambulance on rare occasions.

Henstridge Golf and Leisure is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2024

A warm welcome from the hosts at this friendly site, nestled between a golf course and fishing lake. Our electric lead was too short but the team loaned us a longer one without hesitation or charge. Reception is in the bar area which is perfect for an early evening drink and a game of pool. The pitches were a good size and well laid out, and the amount of space available made the site feel spacious, unlike some sites where every square yard is a pitch. It's well situated to break up the long drive to the west country and would recommend as a great overnight stop off.

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2024

Loved the golf course setting, with a pretty lake (some-one was fishing there) and great views. We had a drink on the wind-protected terrace and my son and husband played 9 holes of golf. An evening walk around the site was really pleasant. Toilets and showers all clean and working. Happy camper!

Single Axle Caravan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Jul 2024

Our first stop on a caravan road trip. The camp is very easy to drive to off the main road to Shaftesbury. We chose a grass electric pitch and so glad we did, as we had the whole field to ourselves for 3 nights. The grass is well kept, as is the adjoining 9 hole golf course. The club house is nice and cosy, but only open till 7. Shaftesbury is 15 mins away, where you will find spectacular views from Gold Hill, famous for the Hovis advert directed by Ridley Scott. The couple running the site were very friendly and helpful. Electricity is a prepaid card meter and we paid £7 for the 3 nights. The toilet and shower block was nice and clean, and all in all we found our stay good value for money, and hope to return next year.
