A hedged, well-tended 45-pitch park run by the same family for over forty years, half a mile from the National Trust village of Lacock.

- Pigs in Blankets Campsite
A working livestock farm with meadow pitches, marshland views, and the occasional audible pig, exactly the honest farm camping this playlist exists for.

A working estate outside Bridport, pitched in the Dorset AONB with proper farm character and no holiday-park pretence.
