  • Adults-only stopover site 10 minutes’ drive from Romsey in Hampshire
  • Winchester and the New Forest National Park 20 minutes’ drive
  • No-frills site with rural views; pubs and shops 10 minutes’ drive
Sitting between Romsey and Winchester in rural Hampshire, Meadowbrook Farm is a handy, no-fuss stopover for adult guests on their way down to/back from Southampton (20 minutes’ drive) for ferry trips to the Isle of Wight, or Portsmouth (35 minutes) for forays across Europe. It’s also convenient for the M3 and M27 if you’re heading north or west across the UK. The hardstanding pitches at this quiet, dog-friendly site – gated for your extra security – overlook lush meadows and woodland, and you’re pretty much guaranteed a decent night’s kip as you won’t be disturbed by anything much louder than owls hooting. And in the morning you might well wake up to the sight of peacocks roaming free across the fields. If you want to fend for yourselves when it comes to catering, stock up in Romsey supermarkets (10 minutes), but if cooking’s not on your agenda, there are a couple of foodie pubs within the same distance. Simple facilities on site include grey and chemical/black waste disposal, with electric hook-ups available at an additional cost.

Powered gravel RV campsite

Liked: Site was quiet and host polite and knowledgeable about local area. This is a basic no frills site hence the price. There is a dcp and bins but no showers or toilets. Fine if you have everything on board. Highlight was watching the deer and peacock

Not a campsite, just a lock up. Didn’t stay and no deposit back.

Powered gravel RV campsite

Liked: Guy called me back quickly.

Disliked: Pictures said rural views and showed green fields. When we finally arrived (really hard to find) we were asked to camp in an old lock up yard with engines and rubbish piled up and strewn all around. He closed the gate behind us, we were two friends together and both felt unsafe in our vans. No other guests there. Big scary looking dog in his accommodation right next to us. Guy said he was new to it all and was planning to fix it up. Fair enough and he seemed a nice guy but sorry we didn’t want to stay there.

Local attractions

If you need to stretch your legs (and those of any accompanying dogs of course), the verdant water gardens and woodland trails at Sir Harold Hillier Arboretum (five minutes’ drive) couldn’t be more convenient. If you have a bit more time on your hands, climb up to the triangular monument in Farley Mount Country Park (10 minutes) for spectacular views across woodland right to the Solent. There are more hikes to be had in the New Forest National Park, where you can keep an eye out for native ponies running wild and encounter endangered otters at New Forest Wildlife Park. Wind up a day in the park with afternoon tea at New Forest Lavender Gardens (all 20 minutes) before plundering their gift shop for lavender-themed souvenirs. A whistle-stop tour of ancient Winchester (20 minutes) can include a guided tour of the splendid Gothic-era cathedral (spot Jane Austen’s tomb in the nave) and the vaulted Great Hall constructed at the order of William the Conqueror. Travel back to present day to learn about the cosmos at Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium (also 20 minutes).
