Visitors appreciate the clean portaloos and washing facilities, the spacious field allowing choice of pitch, and the availability of fire pits. While some note the basic nature of amenities, most find it ideal for short stays and quiet getaways, with friendly and helpful owners. Minimal shade and occasional road noise are mentioned.

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.

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

Not peaceful & quiet for me, ended up leaving before the first night
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Not much being honest
Disliked Site was overcrowded which made the main problem much worse which was noise! This was NOT a quiet and peaceful site at all. The folks next to me had music blaring and were running about screaming until late. In the end I gave up and drove home before I’d even stayed a night.

Perfect overnight stay
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Fabulous quiet overnight stay. Big open field to pitch up with super views & plenty of space. Walk to local village & surrounding countryside. Portaloos were clean with 2 outside sinks for washing & fresh water. Very easy to book online or pay owner (very nice chap).
Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway.
No electric hookup.

Liked A back to basics pop up
Campsite in a farmers field. Chose where you pitch, with portaloos and water on site.
It was great to see the children on the site mixing and having fun with a pull/push cart.
Lovely views from the site, easy to access.
Note no shower facilities
