About the site
This scenic 300-acre farm site is perfect for a comfortable stay. Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park, this site isn't too far from nearby villages, such as the historic market town of Alresford. The level field has room for back to basics camping, with non-electric grass pitches for tents. There are two safari tents, containing a king-size bed, wood-burning stove, sofa bed, barbecue, gas hob, fridge, ice tray and outdoor seating. Two bell tents are also available for all your glamping needs. The site supports activity at the Heritage Steam Watercress Line Railway, and the station at Ropley is just a few minutes walk away. You can hear and see the steam trains rolling by the site!

Very impressive facilities and friendly staff. We were the only ones present, but there seemed to be a large amount of space available. Would visit again when warmer.
Very well looked after site

I went here recently for a short getaway with a few friends, we had a lovely time. The actual campsite was smaller than expected when we arrived, however, this was not an issue for us as there were plenty of spots to pitch and our neighbours were very friendly. Buses into Winchester town are frequent and the bus stop is nearby, along with only being a short drive from shops.
