  • Peaceful site in a hamlet on the edge of a traditional village
  • A 10-minute drive to Fordingbridge and the New Forest National Park
  • Half a mile to the local pub via a footpath; walkers' paradise
Getting back to basics is the aim of the game at Ladybird Farm, made up of grassy paddocks set in a small hamlet on the edges of the traditional English village of Rockbourne. Attractions and activities at this Hampshire park are focused on its natural surroundings, with peaceful vibes boosted by a no-noise policy after dark and the facilities extending to toilets and two showers. Local walks are easily accessed too at this site in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs National Landscapes, on the network of footpaths snaking through the surrounding countryside. A row of thatched cottages following the line of the river flowing through the valley is a minute's stroll from the site too and a pub serving food and booze is a short saunter away. If you fancy bringing a bit of decadence to your break by dining out for every meal, a couple of other inns are in the villages of Damerham and Whitsbury, both about a five-minute drive or under a 45-minute walk via a car-free trail. Restaurants are in Fordingbridge just on the outskirts of the New Forest National Park (10 minutes’ drive), along with a cinema, a park on the Avon and a supermarket. To source food nearer the park, a village shop is at Sandleheath a five-minute drive away: bag supplies for the barbecue and cook them up while you get toasty by one of the site’s firepits (with logs available to buy on base).

What customers say

Ladybird Farm gets the nod for its quiet countryside spot, good pitches, and sound hosts. Guests love the spotless, well-kitted kitchen and facilities with proper loos and showers. Some minor waits for facilities or tepid water for washing up when busy were noted. Overall, a grand spot for a break, with plenty keen to head back for its simple charm and nature.

Rebecca M.

Meadow bell tent

Liked The site was beautiful, clean and had thought of everything. Hannah sent a text ahead of time, explaining how to access the site and what we might want to consider bringing. She is friendly and made it feel comfortable before we'd even arrived.
The site itself was lovely, well laid out and had everything we could need for a couple of nights glamping with two young children. The camp kitchen was clean and extremely well stocked, including tea/coffee/sugar and oil just incase!
We loved spending time down there, meeting other campers and buying fresh local eggs and bread from the honesty shop. The bell tents were spacious, well laid out and just super cosy. Perfect for the children!
The kids also enjoyed the communal toys and playing area in the field- it helped them all make friends with other campers and enhance their experience.

Disliked The tents were great, unfortunately there were ants inside which was a little annoying (but can't be helped!)
Awful phone signal and WiFi which did make it hard when I had a small emergency (the baby locked the keys in the car within half an hour of arriving!). Again, can't be helped but definitely was an annoyance.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Friendly staff working hard on site.
Clean toilets
Always toilet rolls
Kids loved the tree to climb and the toys and games
Loved the easy washing up area with washing liquid. There is also a gas stove and kettles in the kitchen to warm your own water.
We liked that you can borrow glasses, cups and cutlery from the kitchen area.
There is also some local produce to purchase (honey, bread, muesli, eggs)
Location wise- perfect for local country walks and also close to villages and Salisbury.

Disliked It is a small site so pitches were close together and on a slight slope.
There is only 1 toilet per gender and one shower per gender (there is an extra toilet in each show too).
The kitchen and toilet is quite a walk from the pitches.

Liked Great location, surrounded by peaceful countryside. The facilities are perfect for an off grid stay - clean bathrooms, hot showers and the camp kitchen is a lovely bonus. The owners are friendly and the pitches are huge.

Local attractions

Stonehenge is within a half an hour drive's and other historical places of interest are close by – including the Rockbourne Roman Villa Museum just 15 minutes’ walk away. Breamore House (10 minutes) is a prime place if you prefer your outings to include a glimpse of a country pile’s stately paintings and furniture, while the New Forest Water Park (15 minutes) has modern facilities like a wakeboarding centre and inflatable aqua park as well as places to kayak using the available equipment. For swimming instead of paddleboarding, the sandy sweep of Bournemouth beach is 35 minutes south and is reachable on a scenic journey that goes through the lush green Moors Valley Country Park & Forest. If you’d rather stick to the area’s old-school offerings, Salisbury and its spectacular cathedral are about 20 minutes’ drive away and the ancient town of Ringwood with a weekly market dating back to the Middle Ages takes 25 minutes to reach. And of course, there’s not much in the area more ancient than the New Forest, created by William I in about 1079 for royal hunts...
