  • Exclusive adults-only small site in a stunning countryside location
  • Close to the South Downs Way and a 30-minute drive from the coast
  • Quiet setting; one dog welcome; a 10-minute walk from one local pub
Hoping to hike through Hampshire or drive around the Downs? Duncombe Farm has a farmer's field in the lush Meon Valley with your name on it. There are plenty of prime spots for countryside strolls around these parts: the South Downs Way passes right through East Meon, a pleasant parish that’s a mere ten-minute walk from the site. The village also has one watering hole to its name (fab for thirsty walkers after days of rural rambles). Guests can be pretty sure they’ll experience country life here: Duncombe Farm is a working arable and sheep farm surrounded by rolling hills. This pastoral spot is all about back-to-basics getaways and keeping things as peaceful as possible. With that in mind, this is an adults-only site (as wonderful as the wee ones are, there's no harm in steering clear of them every now and then). Facilities are kept low-key for the same reason, although basics like toilets are covered, and guests are free to set up a barbecue or use the site's firepit to build a blaze.  There are plenty of off-site amenities within strolling distance: a village church, food shop, bus stop, post office and a pub are all a 10-minute walk away. Dogs are welcome here (but just one per pitch, and please remember to keep them at a respectful distance from your woolly neighbours).

What customers say

This is a small, peaceful adult-only campsite set in a beautiful rural location with stunning views. Visitors praise the immaculately clean and well-maintained basic facilities, including toilets, showers, and a communal fridge/freezer. Generously spaced pitches with fire pits are a highlight. A short walk leads to local pubs and a shop. Some guests noted the shower water temperature was consistently hot and the ground can be flinty, requiring sturdy pegs.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Really fabulous stay thanks Lisa. The campsite was perfect. Quiet, peaceful and lots of wildlife to watch including barn owls on an evening, hares, buzzards, red kites & more. The amenities although simple were perfect for a few nights. There were freezer blocks in the freezer for you to swap yours with to keep food chilled. Small shop & a pub just a short walk away. It was a great location for us for Goodwood FOS, we also visited some National Trust properties & headed to Southampton one evening. The self check in was a breeze & the instructions via email you receive prior to arrival were easy to follow too.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Amazing location, great views and very nicely kept. The fire pits are a nice touch. The hosts welcomed us and the place is super quiet in a lovely area.

Disliked As expected there was only a single shower, which was incredibly hot (some temperature control would be great, especially in the hot weather when a cold shower would suffice). It would be great if Molly's field had its own shower and toilet which I think would solve the shortcomings in this regard.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great location, clean toilets and shower, the hut is a great place if you have a tiny backpacking tent to be able to sit.
The pub in the Village is a cracking place to visit

Disliked Not their fault but the ground was pretty flinty. My normal lightweight aluminium tent pegs struggled to go in, luckily I had back up super thin titanium’nail’ type pegs that I could get in the ground enough to pitch my tent. And the shop in the village is super basic, it’s really in stark contrast to what you would expect of the village. A real missed opportunity.

Local attractions

Duncombe Farm is in the South Downs National Park, a landscape of red brick villages, rolling hills and crystal-clear chalk streams, and close to the South Downs Way (a 100-mile trail that stretches all the way from Winchester to Eastbourne). There are plenty of shorter walks here too, though, if you don’t want to get puffed out: head to Beacon Hill Nature Reserve (20 minutes' drive) for spectacular views over the Meon Valley and a manageable six-mile circular stroll.  The coast is also within easy reach: the nearest beaches are at Hayling Island (30 minutes) or the Witterings (40 minutes). Make tracks to the latter for far-reaching views over Chichester Harbour (pack your binoculars, too – it's a birdlife hub). Sticking with the nautical theme, Portsmouth's historic dockyard (30 minutes) is also worth a gander if you fancy exploring Tudor, Napoleonic and modern naval history.  Guests of a literary bent, meanwhile, should head to Jane Austen's former home (20 minutes) or live out their period fantasies at Hinton Ampner, a local stately home (20 minutes). Petersfield (15 minutes) also has three well-stocked bookshops if you fancy getting some reading in during your stay.
