Hillcrest Farm

Great campsite, quiet and private, facilities are eco and basic but all very clean and practical. Host came to say hi and was really helpful. Highly recommended.

The campsite was lovely and quiet with gorgeous horses in the fields next to us. Jason gave us precise instructions on how to get to the campsite and where to pitch. The compost toilets and shower were lovely and clean, far nicer than many campsites I’ve been to. It was a bit fiddly to get the shower at the right temperature initially but easy once I knew how. This site was just perfect for an overnight stay with my 8 year old daughter.

I think the site could do with a bit more signage showing where the toilets and showers are.

Beautiful peace and quiet, very warm welcome from Jason, new and clean facilities, 30 minutes to the beach

We loved camping in the small meadow. It was so quiet and restful, especially listening to the owls at night. Amenities are basic but clean and perfectly adequate. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would certainly return again.

Fantastic rural location - not far from the M3 and with a feeling of being far from anywhere. Very green and tranquil with bird song and lots of wildlife. Plenty of space for dogs and walks nearby. The host was very helpful and attentive to needs. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay and will be back again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Everything

I stayed here Hammock camping in the ancient forest with a friend and liked it so much I stayed a second night and brought my 8 year old son.

With acres of managed and Ancient woodland to roam you really can get lost and experience a truly wild camp.

The staff are very helpful but for those that just want to get lost and be left alone you cant ask for better, you can contact the staff via mobile and they visted once or twice to make sure we were ok, other than that it felt like we had the whole forest to ourselves.

Plenty of wild life which was a treat, if not a little noisey at times.

Both me and my boy really enjoyed just being able to go camping in a safe place without having to worrie about being moved on.

Absolutly brilliant.

Beautiful campsite, lots of lovely trees, with a view of horses grazing in a nearby field. Water taps available, plus firewood you can buy.
Compost toilets were well maintained and comfortable.
J met us as we arrived and was really helpful and welcoming.
Lovely and quiet, no traffic to be heard, just birds and crickets.

The shower itself was nice enough but the temperature was either freezing or boiling. Would be great to have a happy medium.

Perfect campsite for a chilled weekend in the country

We loved this site and can't wait to come again. Its the perfect back-to-basics site in fantastic countryside. We were welcomed by J who explained the site to us and told us the best spot for the evening sunshine. We found the compost loo's clean and not smelly at all!
The site is close to the coast so we travelled to Southsea for a day on the beach (45mins drive) and enjoyed the space and freedom back at the site to set up a small paddling pool for our two boys.
This site really is perfect if you're looking to escape and recharge. We spent the evenings watching bats dart about, listening to the owls and watching the stars (and satellites).
P.S. We think the best spot in the Wildflower Meadow is the one under the Oak tree, as you will have all the evening sunshine with shade, and you won't have anyone next to you on the far side.

Nothing at all. Our only small feedback would be to have a few signs on the entrance driveway into the camping field as we drove right past it.
