  • Rural dog-friendly adults-only site in Sherfield English
  • Half an hour's drive from Salisbury and 10 minutes from the New Forest
  • Cosy country pub within a 15-minute stroll
To Hampshire for a holiday in a rather relaxed, kid-free spot? Meadow Tree Farm is a nearly-wild site with basic facilities on a working beef farm. Friendly and adults-only, it is spread over 21 acres on the edge of the village of Sherfield English, about 10 minutes' drive from Romsey. There's plenty of space for you (and any doggie companions you may have brought along) to chill out on site and, most importantly, a café a short walk away. Fishing lakes are next door and there are fab trails for ramblers and cyclists a few miles away in the New Forest National Park. Back at base, the laidback vibe is preserved by keeping facilities to a minimum, but the essentials are all in place, including toilets, showers and a washing-up area. Sounds good? You'd better be quick: Meadow Tree Farm is a pop-up site that's only open for a limited amount of time each year.

An adults-only, dog-friendly site with spacious pitches. Owners are lovely and helpful. Basic but clean facilities. Fire pits allowed. Peaceful and natural, though sometimes busy groups.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked Nice, quite place to stay for a short time.

Disliked Toilets really old , we couldn’t use them in the morning, because all of them were blocked.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comments.

The toilet block was cleaned early on Sunday morning, at approximately 7am, specifically to ensure the facilities were clean and ready for guests before departure, as all guests leave the site on a Sunday.

Unfortunately, sometime after this, another guest appears to have emptied the contents of a portable toilet into our toilets. This blocked the system and left the facilities in an extremely unpleasant condition.

Sadly, nobody contacted us to let us know there was a problem. We were therefore completely unaware of the situation until after 11pm, once the final guests had left the site. As soon as it was discovered, the blockage was cleared within five minutes and the majority of the toilet block was immediately returned to use.

While we completely understand how unpleasant it must have been to encounter the facilities in that condition, this was an exceptional situation caused by the inconsiderate actions of another guest rather than a lack of cleaning or maintenance on our part.

Had we received a simple text, phone call or even a comment while you were on site, we could have dealt with it there and then, just as we did once we became aware of it. Unfortunately, we cannot rectify a problem that has not been brought to our attention.

Liked Highly recommend staying at this campsite it was perfect. You can pick anywhere to camp (we chose to go slightly into the forest and it was lovely) The picnic benches in the evening were a great place to watch the sunset and the facilities were good. There is a nice walk to the pub recommended by the owner who was very helpful and friendly, letting us leave our car there after we had packed down. Would have loved to stay longer and will definitely be back!

Local attractions

Bring your boots along, for there’s much rural rambling to be done in the New Forest National Park around a 10-minute drive from Meadow Tree Farm. Bike trails run through the forest too, and you can saddle up to see the wildlife from horseback at a riding centre a few minutes’ drive from the site. Other open-air activities nearby include teeing off at one of the golf courses within a 15-minute drive or swinging through the trees at the Go Ape park half an hour away. Sailing lessons and boat trips can be had from Southampton or Lymington, both within a 45-minute drive. For history-infused days out, head to Salisbury or pay a visit to Romsey Abbey, Breamore House or the vintage car collection at Beaulieu, all of which are within a half an hour’s drive. For animal antics, Marwell Zoo is also about half an hour away.
