  • Quiet Hampshire site with large grass pitches and easy road access
  • In the Test Valley, less than a mile from Stockbridge town centre
  • Wild-style camping on a low-key farm; firewood for sale on site
Time in the Test Valley is time well spent – this lovely pocket of Hampshire is well-known for its scenery, clear chalk streams and gentle pace of life, making it just the spot for a laidback camping break. Stockbridge View, a quiet site near the Test Valley market town of Stockbridge, is conveniently located just off the A30. This back to basics choice is within easy reach of Winchester (20 minutes' drive), Salisbury (25 minutes), Stonehenge (25 minutes) and Southampton (35 minutes). The pitches here are set over a flat and grassy area that's bordered by trees and hedgerows. You can pitch up wherever you like at this laidback farm spot, and all parts of the site are a few minutes’ walk from good basic amenities like a modern toilet and shower block and a chemical disposal point (please use green fluid). Campfires, barbecues and firepits are welcome here as long as they are lifted well off the grass. Handily, firewood is available to buy if you haven't brought your own fuel. Wood-fired pizzas, kebabs, pub food and a small supermarket are all available less than a mile away in Stockbridge town centre via a quiet bridleway. Please note that there's a clay pigeon shooting range half a mile away and therefore there may be some noise from that heard on site (mainly on Saturdays, but sometimes on other days).

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site is absolutely great. It was quite busy but at no point did it feel crowded. The atmosphere was lovely and you could just turn up and relax.

Disliked: The ladies toilets ran out of toilet paper in the morning. There is a clay pigeon site near by, which isn’t an issue but my dog was scared. Everyone else’s dog seemed fine.

Great priced site with a very relaxed atmosphere even though busy.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We were a party of 6 tents including my 2 small grandchildren and 4 dogs - we arrived at 10am ish on the Saturday am and the site was already busy - its a pitch where you like - no set pitches which suited us and we found a nice area for us all to pitch. A very friendly site and even though was very busy there was never a q for the toilets or the showers. A 15 min walk into Stockbridge a very pretty little village with lovely shops and pubs along the river. We spoke to both the owner and the warden during our stay who both were chatty and informative. We will definitely be back for the price, the location and the relaxed atmosphere. We had some first time campers in our group and they all had a great time and would camp again :)

Disliked: Nothing - some people have mentioned road noise which yes you can hear but did not affect us in any way at all.

Local attractions

For greenery and gardens, try Houghton Lodge (five minutes' drive), a small-scale spot dating back to the late 18th century in a gorgeous riverside location. The grounds at Mottisfont (15 minutes), a National Trust-managed house and garden, may be a bit grander in scale, but they're in a relaxed country location and aren't too big for a day out with young kids. This part of the world has lots of military connections, so how about a trip to the Army Flying Museum (10 minutes), or to Winchester (20 minutes) and its regimental collections in Peninsula Square? Inspired to try a bit of target practice yourself? The Spitfire Shoot (five minutes) can sort you with clay pigeon sessions (mostly on Saturdays, but sometimes at other times too). A little bit further away there are world-class attractions like Stonehenge (25 minutes), a must-see when visiting this part of the world, as well as family-focused options like Paultons Park (30 minutes), a theme park, and the interactive exhibits at Milestones Museum in Basingstoke (30 minutes).
