About the site

Situated between Romsey, Salisbury and Southampton on the edge of the beautiful New Forest National Park, Shelley Oaks has convenient transport links. A five minute drive from Junction 2 of the M27 makes it the perfect base to explore the local area. There's plenty of room for your tent or small campervan across the level, ten acre grass camping field. Soak up the country views, say hello to some of the animals at the farm, and spot a variety of wildlife in the surrounding woodland. These are large grass pitches, with a flexibility to pitch where you'd like, and each include their own 'dug out' fire pit which are free to use. New purpose built facilities block with both male and female toilets and showers and a unisex, easy access, family shower room with baby change. Raised BBQs and campfires welcome, wood available for purchase on site. Blocks available to borrow to raise bbq/fires where necessary. After a day's exploring, you can kick back and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets and night skies whilst relaxing around the campfire. You may even see the site's local barn owl or a shooting star!

A note from the site themselves...

'Shelley Oaks' is an 80 acre farm on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire. A part of the Jewell family for three generations we took on the management in April 2016 re-establishing the meadow grasslands and renovating the farm buildings, our goal is to be as nature friendly as possible.

We focus on habitat creation and preservation and don't use artificial fertilisers or Herbicides/pesticides, as a result, we have seen a huge increase in the wildlife visiting the farm. We run a flock of pedigree Jacob sheep, one of the largest in the country and also have rare breed pigs and rescue chickens.

A connection with nature is so important for all of us which sparked the idea of the campsite, a place to reconnect and enjoy the space but also a get decent hot shower at the end of the day! All money raised from the campsite is reinvested into the running of the farm, our next project is to plant a few hundred trees!
