Family-friendly site on an organic farm in South Downs National Park
Hambledon Vineyard five minutes’ drive; Portsmouth 25 minutes
Dogs welcome; pizza oven; workshops; communal fridge

For a holiday with a low impact on the environment, book your spot at Rushmere Farm, a small site with undesignated pitches on the south-western edges of South Downs National Park and about 10 miles north of Portsmouth (25 minutes’ drive). The owners, who grow cereals organically, are available and happy to give a tour of the facilities, so guests can learn more about regenerative farming methods and the oat-based drink produced on site. And if the kids are already groaning at the idea of having to learn anything while on holiday, feel free to reassure them that there are heaps of more child-friendly activities on and around Rushmere Farm. Running around on the camping field, for starters (that works for the family dog, too); getting messy with flour as they help to prepare pizzas for dinner (there’s a pizza oven); or joining a woodworking session. Then there’s the exploration of nearby footpaths and bridlepaths. The surrounding area has no shortage of excellent hiking destinations, with Old Winchester Hill (a nature reserve known for its butterflies and assorted birdlife), plus woodland walks in Catherington Lith Nature Reserve and Forest of Bere, reachable within a 15-minute drive. Then there’s the seaside: pebbly Southsea Beach (35 minutes) is a top spot to sample fish and chips (or an ice cream) and you gaze across the water at the Isle of Wight. The site has basic toilets and showers based in an open-sided building, as well as a washing-up area and a communal fridge-freezer. The nearest shop is a half-mile away (five minutes, or 10 minutes on foot) or, for more choice, you can head into Waterlooville (10 minutes), which also has a handful of pubs and restaurants.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful setting with adequate facilities and features that I am sure make the site even better when open in the high season!

Disliked: Some of the tent areas were very uneven however I am sure this will be sorted once the weather settles.
