The comfy, heated pods have kingsize beds with bedding supplied, so all you need to do is rock up and relax, with no worries about noisy ball games or rowdy groups nearby: this is a bijou site for grown-ups only.
Two Hoots Campsite has received multiple plaudits for its innovative approach and eco-friendly facilities, which include a utilities block with fridge, microwave and kettle, plus of course showers and loos.
Nearby attractions and activities
A short stroll from Two Hoots Campsite is the picturesque Watercress Steam Railway, which wends its way through ten miles of pretty Hampshire countryside from Alresford to Alton. Alresford itself is a beautiful town with colour-washed Georgian buildings, interesting specialist shops and eateries, and a lovely riverside walk.
The local area has something for all tastes: action junkies can try out tank driving, quad biking and go karting, or for something more sedate, hot air ballooning; for countryphiles, there are country parks, nature reserves and pretty gardens to explore; history buffs will find Stonehenge is easily accessible, along with Jane Austen’s House and other famous country piles; the nearby zoo, Birdworld, farms and Hawk Conservancy Trust should satisfy the most demanding of animal fans; and there are even wine-tasting opportunities at the local vineyard for oenophiles. Plus of course miles of walking, cycling and horse-riding through the glorious scenery surrounding the site...
The medieval city of Winchester, with its magnificent cathedral, museums and shopping, and the ancient market town of Petersfield, which also has a bustling cultural scene, are both around 11 miles from Two Hoots Campsite.

Fantastic break, will definatly return! Friendly people. Gemma B. (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The lodge was everything we wanted for a short break away. Disliked: There isn't anything I can say I disliked about the campsite, apart from you need a good torch as when night falls it is pitch black, but this was informed to us when we booked. |

Absolutely delightful! Polly B. (With friends, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The hobbit pods and the facilities at Two Hoots are excellent and we would both recommend it/stay again. Disliked: After booking through pitchup you're obliged to settle the balance two weeks before your stay. This is all explained very clearly but inevitably we forgot and our booking was cancelled with out us realising!
From the manager...
So nice of you to take the time to leave a review, it’s always good to get feedback & even better when we hear Glampers have enjoyed their stay. Will look into a reminder payment e-mail although our software at present is not capable of sending automated e-mail reminders & to keep costs down we have to minimise our workload. Nice to hear you appreciated the local information book, invaluable when campers haven’t had a chance to check out the local area. |

Grid Ref: SU6302132970
From the A31 which runs between Alton & Winchester there is a village called Ropley.
By Car: From Ropley Dean (the main road in Ropley) turn onto Bighton Hill (it's a small crossroads, signposted Bighton). Bighton Hill leads directly into Sutton Wood Lane on one of the bends.
You will go up a hill, over a small railway bridge, pass a few houses and bungalows on the left, then the road narrows with a sharp blind right hand, then left-hand bend. You are now in Sutton Wood Lane. You pass a drive on your left, this is called “The Ramblers” (although there is no sign). Our site is the next drive on the left side with double wooden five-bar gates and campsite signs. It’s just before “Cartrel” bungalow and the next right hand bend.
Please don’t turn in until you see campsite signs. Our neighbours won’t appreciate a visit, however short!
By Train: mainline train to Alton and either the bus to Ropley or take a steam train on the famous Watercress steam railway line to Ropley station (timetable allowing) approx 1.1 miles from us...uphill !
Or a main line train to Winchester & bus from here.
By Bus: the main bus stops are at Ropley Dean (approx one mile from the site uphill!). The 64 stops here.
