Great wild camp style site, flatish and spacious.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked It's the summer holidays it was relatively busy but still plenty of space. There are fire pits dotted around so no need to burn a fresh bit of grass.
Portaloos were clean. There were sinks for washing.
The site is nearly flat. Might need ramps if you like your camper van dead level.
Also it has good connections. Only a few miles off the A3.
Disliked After a couple of days we would need a toilet disposal facility. Did not spot one.

We’ll be back!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked A great, no frills site! Well maintained and friendly staff. Someone was on site at different times everyday checking toilets and restocking loo roll and soap. You don’t get a bad view wherever you park in the field.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Good location. The kids enjoyed playing in the nearby stream.
Disliked I always use the “toilet blocks” filter when choosing a campsite because I don’t like using portable toilets. I used the same filter when booking this campsite, so the information listed under the features is definitely incorrect. When we arrived, we found that the site only had portable toilets.
On top of that, on one of the busy mornings, we informed the staff member who came to inspect and clean the toilets that the soap had run out. Despite this, they told us they didn’t have any spare soap in their vehicle. The toilets were also not cleaned to an acceptable standard.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. We have updated the 'toilet blocks' to be more specific to say portable toilets of which we have 7. We pride ourselves on keeping these clean throughout the stay with checks 4-5 times a day. However there are always times when certain guests may 'FOUL' a toilet between checks.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely views. Very clean toilets (they're portaloos but spotless) and washing up sinks/water points, fire pits. 10 minute stroll into East Meon where there's a great circular walk and a nice pub.
Disliked Inconsiderate campers - there was loads of space in the field but someone rocked up and parked literally 2 feet from my car! It is by a road but it's a pretty quiet country road.

Liked Lovely small field, friendly owners. Toilets always had loo roll. Kids enjoyed playing in the stream.
Disliked A few larger groups which were a bit noisy. Not everyone obeyed the distance between each pitch rule. Stream was a bit overgrown
