  • Lively Hampshire family farm site with easy access from M3 and A303
  • A 20-minute drive to Winchester and Watercress Line railway
  • Café, farm shop and brewery taproom with weekend food trucks
Fancy a farm stay, but not so keen on the idea of a long drive along country lanes? Get yourselves along to Dummer Down Farm, in a handy Hampshire location that’s easily accessed from the M3 and A303 (thereby also making it a good place to consider for a stopover on a longer journey…) There’s a real buzz about this lively place, which is just outside the pretty village of Dummer and within 20 minutes’ drive of Winchester and Basingstoke. It’s not just a campsite at this family farm – there’s also a farm shop, a café (with a terrace looking out over the fields) and a brewery, where you can finish your day off with a pint of fresh local beer in the taproom next door or pick up something to eat from one of the local food trucks that park here at weekends. If you’d rather do the self-catering thing, stop by at the market garden to see what sort of fresh organic veg they’ve got for sale that day. A convenience store is about a mile and a half away for any other bits you need to go with your dinner. Working up an appetite for these meals and drinks should be easy, as there’s some great walking and cycling to be done directly from the farm as well as plenty of places to have a day out (including wanders around Winchester, animal encounters at Marwell Zoo and grownup trips to see wine and gin in production). Facilities in the field include toilets, a washing-up area, drinking water taps and a chemical disposal point. Dogs are welcome to join you for a stay here.

What customers say

Simple, chill farm campsite with open fields. Great on-site cafe, shop & brewery with good food, drinks & music. Basic toilets (no showers). Friendly vibes, lovely country setting, easy access. Some event noise can happen, especially weekends.

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Location easy to find off M3
Great cafe
Peaceful lication
Hot water to use in toilets and a kettle, mirror too. All a bonus when camping.

Disliked Arrived after 4 know one to see about the stay. That's was ok but would have been nice just to know a few things about site.
Toilet facilities were adequate.
Sink leak in mens and lacked cleaning.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

We send our Pitchup guests details of our seasonal (May to August) pop up site in advance along with maps and location of loos etc, unless it's a last minute booking and we missed your booking before you arrived. Guests don't need to check in as we are aware of bookings and add to the calendar.

What might work is for us to add some PitchUp guest details in the loos and at the field notice board that may help for arrivals. Thank you for the feedback.

It’s a football pitch for a campsite with a toilet to find

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked a lady returned my call within the hour when I needed to confirm if I was at the right place and whether I needed to ‘check in’
It was quiet at night

Disliked There was one toilet with no handwashing facility. The toilet block as acknowledged by lady from the farm who called - was in need of refurbishment.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review our site.

Sadly, the door to our scruffy paint splashed loo, which is used for the farm workers, had come off recently. As it's next to our two farm loos it looked like it was part of the available toilets when busy. We are sorry it did not have hand washing facilities inside and we check why there was no soap in the sink outside the loo.

As mentioned the toilet block is due an overhaul in the winter so will be wonderful next year so hopefully we will see you again.

Really nice pitch with a wonderful…

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great setting, good value, amazing cafe, shop, tap room and pop-up evening food on the Saturday. Will come back!

Disliked Only negative was a lack of showers, and one of the toilet facilities was not in great condition

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay.

Our toilet facilities are soon to be upgraded with potential for a shower. We are a pop up camp site for summer period only but as we've gained popularity we realise some work is needed and have plans to address this.

Lots of space, convenience of shop…
