  • Rural dog-friendly adults-only site in Sherfield English
  • Half an hour's drive from Salisbury and 10 minutes from the New Forest
  • Cosy country pub within a 15-minute stroll
To Hampshire for a holiday in a rather relaxed kid-free spot? Meadow Tree Farm is a nearly-wild site with basic facilities on a working beef farm. Friendly and adults-only, it is spread over 21 acres on the edge of the village of Sherfield English, about 10 minutes' drive from Romsey. There's plenty of space for you (and any doggie companions you may have brought along) to chill out on site and, most importantly, a cosy country pub a gentle 15-minute stroll away. Fishing lakes are next door and there are fab trails for ramblers and cyclists a few miles away in the New Forest National Park. Back at base the laidback vibe is preserved by keeping facilities to a minimum, but the essentials are all in place, including toilets, showers and a washing-up area. Sounds good? You'd better be quick: Meadow Tree Farm is a pop-up site that's only open for a limited amount of time each year.

Electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: The atmosphere was really good. Everyone was really friendly. The pitches were spaced well apart. And everyone was up late (because of no kids) so you didn't feel like you had to be too quiet but at the same time the pitches are far apart so the other people's noise doesn't bother you at all!

Disliked: The facilities were really dirty, the shower especially needs a really good clean. As you can only do Friday to Monday it wasn't a massive issue.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: Stunning campsite with plenty of space under the trees to feel completely at peace. Other camp users were very respectful. The owner is such a beautiful spirit and made me feel really welcome and was very accommodating. There is also handy benches spotted around the campsite which is such an awesome touch!

Electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: Awesome little campsite with basic but functional facilities. We really enjoyed the layout of the site and had a forest floor pitch and we used the trees to set up some cover to keep the rain off. We enjoyed that the site welcomed large groups and was adults only. It had a real laid back atmosphere without the worry of kids running around. Everyone was having a good time! Would definitely visit again.

Disliked: Although it was very clean, the toilet and shower block was a little worse for wear, but the host did say they had planning permission to upgrade to a new block with dedicated male/female areas with more toilets and showers as the current block is unisex and the facilities are limited. This will be a massive improvement over what's there currently.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The site was basic but beautiful, very relaxed, nice place to wind down. The host was caring and friendly. Will definitely be back next year. The facilities were a little tired, but clean. When I was chatting with the host, she tells me they are going to have new toilets and shower installed, the toilets will have a male and female block as at the moment it is unisex.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: We were greeted by a very friendly owner who told us everything we needed to know about the site. Was able to pick our spot with electricity not too far away.

Disliked: Electric power supply was laying on the ground. Toilets needed updating but were clean. The owner informed us that planning permission was in the process of being agreed by the council.

Local attractions

Bring your boots along, for there’s much rural rambling to be done in the New Forest National Park around a 10-minute drive from Meadow Tree Farm. Bike trails run through the forest too, and you can saddle up to see the wildlife from horseback at a riding centre a few minutes’ drive from the site. Other open-air activities nearby include teeing off at one of the golf courses within a 15-minute drive or swinging through the trees at the Go Ape park half an hour away. Sailing lessons and boat trips can be had from Southampton or Lymington, both within a 45-minute drive. For history-infused days out, head to Sailsbury or pay a visit to Romsey Abbey, Breamore House or the vintage car collection at Beaulieu, all of which are within a half an hour’s drive. For animal antics, Marwell Zoo is also about half an hour away.
