What customers say
This is a friendly, basic campsite offering peaceful stays in a beautiful rural setting. Visitors praise the spacious, well-kept field, stunning views, and easy access to local walks and the village of East Meon. Facilities are described as clean and adequate for short stays, with portaloos and washing sinks available. The owner is consistently noted as welcoming and helpful. While some mention potential road noise on one side of the field, most find the site tranquil. Suggestions for improvement include better wash-up facilities and an Elsan point.

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.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
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

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Nice, well-kept field.
Disliked We actually only booked one night but left on the first afternoon about 2hrs in due to the flies. Not sure what was going on (maybe the weather), but we found the amount of flies unworkable and left.
The ‘Meon River’ is also a 1ft wide overgrown stream. Not the campsite’s fault obviously, just for awareness.
