A note from the site themselves...

We set up Rowbury Farm Camping in 2018 to allow people to connect more with nature. On the farm, we are passionate about protecting the environment and about wildlife. More than 10% of our arable land is dedicated to wildflowers, pollen and nectar margins and winter birdseed plots.

We let our hedges grow big and bushy to provide habitat and food for birds and small mammals. We enjoy talking to people about our environmental work and taking school children around the farm

We are committed to having a low impact on our environment. We encourage recycling and all our waste is sorted at the depot with recyclable items being removed. Our water comes from a private borehole on the farm, which is UV-treated, so is untainted by chemicals.

We love the fact that people come here to chill out, play games, gather round campfires and watch the sun go down. We hope to see you all very soon, Will

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Recently stayed 4 nights here, wish it could have been longer. If you want a beautifully, peaceful site with very generous pitch spaces set up in a way that feels like your private space with endless stargazing opportunities and the odd wildlife visitor, then Rowbury Farm is for you. Run by lovely friendly people who have their customer's interests absolutely at heart, who seem to know what is important to us campers. There are hot drinks and freshly baked pastries, very reasonably priced, available from the shepherds hut daily, you can top up on your freshly grown salad veg too! The large freezer was a godsend on a hot stretch and the clean, hot showers, some of the best we've come across. When our, sometimes, hot and dry weather allows, you can use their fire pits and no problems using BBQs raised of the ground. Lots of lovely places to visit and great walks close to the site. We'll be back for sure! A fab stay.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Great pitches and facilities for the cost! Very good value but could easily be improved with some extra bathrooms. Cleaning and direct access to walking and the pubs. It's a quiet road but for those with dogs is the road for at least 1km to get off on those paths. Pitches are massive and we love the arrangement for park how you like!

Site's response

Hi Jo Thanks very much for the review. We do have the number of bathrooms matched to our pitch number. On very busy weekends sometimes ther's a short wait!

Things to do on site and in the Andover area

There are plenty of ways to enjoy yourself without venturing far from the site. Footpaths wind through the local countryside, including one leading to Danebury's Iron Age fort. National Cycle Route 246 also passes by, taking you through the North Wessex Downs and up into Berkshire.

For some action-packed fun, check out laser tag at Ironsight Activity Centre next door, or head to Treerunners, just ten minutes away, to zip through the trees on wires and ropes. If you prefer a more laid-back experience, visit Black Chalk Vineyard and Winery in Cottonworth, only five minutes away, for a tour and wine tasting.

Nearby, the Hawk Conservancy (10 minutes) offers bird of prey displays. Stonehenge and Highclere Castle, known from Downton Abbey, are both about a 30 drive away. The North Wessex Downs are ideal for walking, while Hinton Ampner's stately home and gardens (40 minutes) offer a lovely introduction to the South Downs.
