A peaceful, private spot with a wild camping vibe. Owner David is a friendly legend. Enjoy nature and quiet walks. Basic facilities, but great value. Mind the narrow lanes. Many plan to return.

Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
Liked Quiet, shady, simple, reasonably priced and really pleasant. Mr. Weston is jolly and helpful, expect to have your leg pulled in the nicest way possible. It’s almost wild camping at the Pit Hill site, so you’ll need alternative toilets — a 25 minute walk along the fields down The Wayfarer’s Walk to pubs in Denmead in the evening worked for me and I had a couple of nice pints too. It’s 25 mins from Portmouth docks by car. If you’re self-sufficient and like it quiet this is a lovely place to pitch your tent.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely and quiet apart from sheep and birds and the occasional argumentative squirrel, which was exactly what i needed. I'd rather find peace in the noises of nature than notifications on my phone. Perfectly simple and a fab nights sleep xx
Disliked Flies. Make sure you have repellants.

Lovely friendly farmer, secluded location.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely farmer David. Told us all about local places to visit and asked the kids if they’d like to fed the lambs in the morning. Needless to say they loved it. Very friendly, would return.
Disliked Very narrow lane into the campsite with minimal passing places. That said it’s a dead end so not much traffic either (we don’t see anything).
