It's also about halfway between Shrewton & chitterne so use ba12 for starters and look at a hotel map in relation to those
Alternately just rock up to Shrewton, look up the hill for the house with a big white extension when passing through the village, knock on the door and tell Wendy that Tom said its ok for you to stay. She makes the 2nd best cakes in the south (her mother makes the best but has cut down to family only)

Off my head the nearest 'motel' like accommodation will be the holiday inn solstice services and travel lodge Stonehenge roundabout, both off the A303
My mate who does airsoft there every year said he doesnt bring a tent he sleeps in the building he just brings a sleeping bag lool
Events on army & urban sites have had varying arrangements, sometimes sleeping in the buildings, sometimes in a camping area.
Postal will confirm the details in the player pack, but have opted for campsites at Copehill Down.
If there is sleeping in Army training camp buildings then do be aware that they are not designed for habitation so consider the climate at the time - a pop up tent indoors will give you your own warm climate, just a sleeping bag may not be enough.
(Sennybridge at -14 was a bit cold - I had a raised campbed and artic sleeping bag, others just had a blanket or duvet - they suffered and some went to hospital)
I'm hoping to attend a few events in 2014, but I'm not sure if I'll make this one though, but can you sleep in your car? I've never been camping in my life and wouldn't know where to start, could do hotels, but wouldn't want to miss the parties lol
The party at Copehill is usually fairly subdued as the MP's have a curfew of 11pm, (they start work at 4am so it's understandable). Still a good laugh though but not as party orientated as other games. Copehill is very much a paintball weekend.
As Nial has said, We generally don't do the party scene due to the site we are in.
Upsetting MP's at Midnight never ends well :/, But we could be having something different to
allow people to have there 'wind down' time
.
There are plenty of local Hotel's in the are that i could imagine are quite cheap atm.
Copehill does get quite chilli during the April month, i know a few people this year we're a bit
to cold due to the weather during the night.
That said a decent Sleeping bag mixed with a nice tent and you've got yourself a 5* bad with double glazing and heated
cushions..... (Do not hold me on this)
All camping will be in the same area and i doubt we will be allowing people to sleep in buildings. The camping area does have a
wall around the structure, which does give it some Wind break but not loads.
