Welcome to my website, enjoy Your stay.

The Traveling Duchess camping in Salisbury, UK in a Pup Tent! 

I so enjoyed my time camping out in Salisbury, UK pitched up in a pup tent!  Yes, my friends, a pup tent.  I had taken a decidedly different turn and a wonderful new experience awaited me.  It was bracingly cold, pouring down raining and I was here for it!  The land was so lush and green, it simply took my breath away.  It so reminded me of home.  I sent a photo of me and my pup tent to my cousin Charlie in rural Missouri and he said, “Now Bird, that’s the life!”   

I had purchased my pup tent locally in Wiltshire, home to the Magna Carta.  I really liked it as it had a porch, sky view opening and was rainproof.  Brilliant!  Armed with groceries from the local co-op, a good comfy and warm sleeping bag, and Moët champagne to keep my blood warm, I was set. 

I learned of the Salisbury Club Site from The Camping and Caravanning Club which has over 2500 Club Sites to choose from around the UK

I pitched up at the Salisbury Club Site at Hudson’s Fields and it did not disappoint.  Boasting views of Old Sarum, the campsite was surrounded by plenty of open spaces, sheep grazing in the fields and was an ideal spot to enjoy rest and relaxation.  The Club has a reception/shop at the entry gate and sits right next to the inheritance and castle ruins built by William the Conqueror which I did get to tour at my leisure.  They have on duty staff and plenty of space for RV, Van and Tent camping.  They have a clean on-site facilities such as a small shop, laundry room, shower and bath area which was very welcome and they have WiFi.  I met many kind, charming and fascinating people as well.  The gentleman that runs the place is a honorable military man of distinction.  Pitch types on the offer include grass pitches with or without electric hook-up, hardstanding pitches with electrical hook-up and jumbo grass pitches with no electric hook-up.   

I spent a week and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.  My thanks to Marcus, Lisa, Mick, Lucy, Mike and Joy for making it a memorable and safe trip.

Kind regards,

The Traveling Duchess
