  • Family-run working farm just to the north of the South Downs
  • A 10-minute drive from Alton or a quarter of an hour from Alresford
  • Meet the animals, hire a firepit and take advantage of the dark skies
Swoop down and pick a plot at Kite View Campsite if you're looking for a roost right in the middle of Hampshire. This quiet spot is set on a family-run working farm a few miles to the north of the South Downs National Park in a location surrounded by arable fields and grazing livestock. This place is all about making the time to do the little things that make a camping stay special, whether that involves booking with the farmers for a meet and greet with the animals, ordering some meat from a local game dealer or hiring a firepit and kindling the flames the old-fashioned way. Set in an elevated location, Kite View Campsite has a front-row seat for stargazing and spotting satellites drifting overhead after dark. In the daytime, its position makes the grounds a great vantage point for wildlife spotting too – kites, buzzards and other birds of prey can frequently be seen soaring overhead, while down on the ground you might spot rabbits, hares and fawn or fallow deer darting through the undergrowth. A number of footpaths can be reached straight from the site, including routes down to the local pub and village stores a mile to the south in Medstead. For more supplies, head down the road to Alton (10 minutes' drive) for supermarkets, shops and takeaways.

Liked: Lovely campsite situated on family working farm, they are all friendly and make you feel very welcome. Really liked the welcome pack with info about the site and family and the hot chocolate and marshmallows! We booked the farm tour, Harley was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable about the animals. You could see the animals were very well loved and cared for. Bruce the ram, has to be my favourite, he was so sweet and kept gazing at me when I was scratching his head. Clean toilets, shower and Lovely location. Thanks to Kite View for such a lovely relaxing stay.

Local attractions

For a car-free jaunt, pick up the Watercress Line steam railway at Medstead and Four Marks station (a mile from base) and take a trip to the pretty town of Alresford (15 minutes' drive), where you can carry on your journey on foot along the scenic Alresford Watercress Trail Circular. After taking in millponds, streams, woodlands and vineyards in Alresford, a 10-minute drive to the south (or half an hour when setting off from site) will take you to the National Trust-run Hinton Ampner Estate, a gorgeous expanse of Hampshire parkland with a small stately home attached. Guests of a literary persuasion should also find many a happy hour hereabouts – this quiet agricultural landscape makes an excellent backdrop for relaxed reading sessions, while less than 10 minutes' drive away you’ll come across Jane Austen's House in the village of Chawton. Inspired and ready to stock up on reading material? Petersfield (25 minutes) has a thriving collection of bookshops, while over in Winchester (25 minutes) you can pick up well-thumbed paperbacks for bargain prices in the cathedral close at weekends.
