  • Peaceful family-friendly farm site in Hampshire's Test Valley
  • Stonehenge, New Forest and Highclere Castle within 40 minutes' drive
  • Farm shop, café and two pubs within a five-minute drive
Fancy checking out some national treasures in the Test Valley? Then treat yourself to a stay at Rowbury Farm Camping, a fab spot in the Hampshire countryside with views towards Andover and the Iron Age hill fort of Danebury. Danebury is just one of the heritage sites and scenic spots close by: Stonehenge is half an hour's drive away, and the farm is in the middle of a cluster of national parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the New Forest and the North Wessex Downs. The site is made up of a quiet, simple and green 11-acre field, much of which is covered in wildflowers, with mown pitches scattered throughout. The friendly owners support recycling on site and ask that there's no loud music or parties so everyone, wildlife included, can relish the peace. There are large firepits around the site where guests can gather round the flames to sizzle sausages or even braise wild boar if that's your bag… For other food, it's a five-minute drive to a farm shop with attached café; there are two good pubs with food within a similar distance and it's a 10-minute drive to shops and supermarkets in Stockbridge.

What customers say

Idyllic site with private, wildflower-lined pitches. Spotless loos & showers with plenty of hot water. Claire & the staff are sound. Lovely walks, handy for villages. Some aircraft noise, but few complaints & folks want to come back.

James R.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic location, large pitches and hot showers. Lovely people running it with coffee/pastries being served at weekends, and produce available from their cottage garden. It’s quiet too, very low local traffic nearby and a great pub 5 mins away.

Chris W.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location was perfect as visiting Thruxton, but would go back again anyway as the site was quiet and had everything I needed.
The pitches are very well maintained, coupled with the relaxed atmosphere and perfect approach of the father and daughter owners, it made a perfect stay.
Very well priced.

Disliked Honestly, absolutely nothing!

Martin F.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Another fantastic stay at Rowbury Farm ! Although it was 'full' at the weekend (partly due to an event on at Thruxton) it really didn't feel crowded. Arrived on Wednesday and the lovely site managers helpfully directed me to a huge pitch so the rest of my extended family of sister, nephew, niece, and their children could all camp together. Lovely new camping experience for the youngest ones! Sadly no campfires at the moment but completely understand as the ground is so absolutely parched dry.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly host, beautiful views, lovely quiet and peaceful campsite, clean facilities and plenty of hot water, immaculately kept site. We loved everything about it!

Disliked The fact that this site does not accept motorhomes. Everyone calls our campervan a van, but apparently it qualifies as a motorhome and the site does not have a licence for motorhomes. Our bad, we ticked campervan when booking. We were allowed to stay for the one night, but we won't be able to return. Such a shame!

Colin M.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Location is great, nice big pitches, quiet site, good facilities everything very clean. Perfect for a stop over from the 303. Also, my 5 yr old decided to leave our rubbish bag near the washing up area and someone (I think the owners) very kindly separated the recycling and put everything in the bin for me! May have been another camper - if you’re reading this, thank you!

Local attractions

In terms of sights and activities there are some headline acts around here, but you can pass an easy half day or two without straying too far. Footpaths crisscross the local area (one leading to Danebury's Iron Age fort), and National Cycle Route 246 also passes right by: this is a spectacular stretch you can pedal all the way through the North Wessex Downs up into Berkshire. Similarly close by, splat each other with paintballs and shoot each other with lasers a two-minute drive away at the local activity centre, or zip through the treetops on wires and ropes at Treerunners (10 minutes). For a more sedate time, tour the vines and sip the wines at Cottonworth, five minutes away. It's a half-hour drive to Neolithic Stonehenge and a similar distance to Highclere Castle, in use in one form or another since the eighth century and most recently as the set for British TV hit Downton Abbey. The surrounding North Wessex Downs are fine walking country, just as the elegant stately home and gardens at Hinton Ampner (40 minutes) make a good intro to the South Downs. More top walks and wildlife spotting can be had as the National Nature Reserve of ancient Langley Wood (40 minutes away) merges with the New Forest. To see some of that wildlife close up, the Hawk Conservancy Trust is 15 minutes away, with feeding and flying displays from the resident raptors.
