About Midgham Farm
The Sykes family welcome you to their friendly farm near the New Forest, close to Fordingbridge. Nestled within the woods are a handful of rustic, off-grid canvas lodges and cabins that sleep up to six. The woodland around this farm has been family owned since 1790. Today, the farm is the home of Chiddock Pony Stud with good-natured ponies to groom, lambs to feed, pigs and piglets and more. Children will love the rope swings, play area, the small woodland steams and in the evenings, you can gather by one of the four communal fires. There's also a long stretch of the River Avon, just a 10-minute walk away for guests to paddle or book a fishing lesson (mid-April and the end of Sept). All rustic, off-grid canvas lodges are fully-equipped, including a kitchen with a wood-burning stove for heating and cooking, a living area and proper beds (double bed, cupboard beds and a bunk bed). With no electricity or Wi-Fi, it's the ideal holiday to reconnect with nature. You have the option of an en-suite shower, or there are shared facilities in the farmhouse. Alternatively, you could settle in your spacious cabin if you want some more luxury.
Midgham Farm is open from 29/03 to 31/10.
Facilities are self contained within en-suite and cabin accommodation, or there are shared showers for guests in the standard canvas lodges. Site facilities include an honesty shop, communal fire pit and pizza oven.

Things to do on site and in the Fordingbridge area
Book with the farmer on arrival if you love horses, you'll be able to spend time grooming and getting to know the farm's friendly ponies.
Close to the campsite is a pretty woodland stream, perfect for paddling, splashing around or outdoor games that kids love.
With so much water about, there's also plenty of fishing. A short 15 minute walk will take you to a section of the River Avon reserved for guests booking fly fishing (between mid April and the end of Sept) or coarse fishing (mid June to mid March).
For a tipple and some chatter, duck into a cosy country pub. The Foresters Arms is well known for having donkeys which you can meet during the season, but it's also just a great, local pub.
The Go Ape treetop trail at Moors Valley Country Park also offers a children's trail, 9 miles away from the farm.
When the sun shines and you can think of nothing better than family rides and candy floss, Paulton's Park is just 16 miles away, ideal for a family outing.
If Wiltshire takes your fancy, ancient Salisbury is 13 miles, and mysterious Stonehenge is just 22 miles.
