  • Exclusive adults only small site in stunning countryside location
  • Close to the South Downs Way and a 30-minute drive from the coast
  • Barbecues and one dog welcome; a 10-minute walk from two local pubs
Hoping to hike through Hampshire or drive round the Downs? Duncombe Farm has a farmer's field in the lush Meon Valley with your name on it. There are plenty of prime spots for countryside strolls around these parts: the South Downs Way passes right through East Meon, a pleasant parish that’s a mere ten-minute walk from site. The village also has a couple of watering holes to its name (fab for thirsty walkers after days of rural rambles). Guests can be pretty sure they’ll experience country life here: Duncombe Farm is a working arable and sheep farm surrounded by rolling hills. This pastoral spot is all about back to basics getaways and keeping things as peaceful as possible. With that in mind, this is an adults-only site (as wonderful as the wee ones are, there's no harm in steering clear of them every now and then). Facilities are kept low-key for the same reason, although basics like toilets are covered, and guests are free to set up a barbecue or use the site's firepit to build a blaze.  There are plenty of off-site amenities within strolling distance: a village church, food shop, bus stop, post office and two pubs are all a 10-minute walk away. Dogs are welcome here (but just one per pitch, and please remember to keep them at a respectful distance from your woolly neighbours).

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: We both really liked the facilities provided. They were very clean and easy to access from the first field. Lisa was very friendly and accommodating. Easy walk into the pretty village of East Meon.

Disliked: The only thing we felt like we missed out on was the view. For the electric hookup option, you are in a separate field with 4 pitches surround by small trees and bushes. We weren’t aware of this when booking, otherwise we would’ve opted for the non electric hookup for the amazing view.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The views over the valley are stunning. The site is silent save as for birdsong and the pitches are level on well kept grass. The facilities are exceptionally clean and the local bacon and eggs were a real treat. Lisa is very attentive and will do whatever she can to make your stay enjoyable. We did a family walk from the campsite up to the Southdowns Way and ate at one of the local pubs in the village - a short 10 minute walk away. It is a site where you immediately feel calm and on holiday. We are looking forward to returning soon!

Liked: Lisa gave us a very warm welcome. The site was peaceful, well maintained and friendly. Location was great, a pleasant walk into the village where there is a few good pubs and a shop. Facilities were cleaned daily and never in a mess over a 3 night stay. All in all highly recommended.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Duncombe Farm is a real treat, if you're considering staying here I implore you to do it! It's easy to find, and upon arriving the view is absolutely breathtaking. The site itself is small, with about 10 pitches so it's not too busy. The pitches are a good size and well spaced out, with drinking water, toilets and a shower located very close-by. The walk into town takes about 10 minutes, we got a little lost using the shortcut through a sheep field but being able to see the church steeple assured us that we weren't heading in the wrong direction! We visited to do some stargazing, and being in the South Downs national park we were treated to 2 gorgeously clear nights, with the Milky Way visible very clearly above us. The addition of complimentary fire pits on every pitch (with wood and firelighters available to purchase at a very reasonable price) made for some exceptionally memorable evenings.

Disliked: The site has a layer of flint a couple of inches below the surface which made getting pegs fully into the ground difficult, but it was a minor inconvenience and our tent was still perfectly secure.

Local attractions

Duncombe Farm is in the South Downs National Park, a landscape of red brick villages, rolling hills and crystal-clear chalk streams, and close to the South Downs Way (a 100-mile trail that stretches all the way from Winchester to Eastbourne). There are plenty of shorter walks here too, though, if you don’t want to get puffed out: head to Beacon Hill Nature Reserve (20 minutes' drive) for spectacular views over the Meon Valley and a manageable six-mile circular stroll.  The coast is also within easy reach: the nearest beaches are at Hayling Island (30 minutes) or the Witterings (40 minutes). Make tracks to the latter for far-reaching views over Chichester Harbour (pack your binoculars, too – it's a birdlife hub). Sticking with the nautical theme, Portsmouth's historic dockyard (30 minutes) is also worth a gander if you fancy exploring Tudor, Napoleonic and modern naval history.  Guests of a literary bent, meanwhile, should head to Jane Austen's former home (20 minutes) or live out their period fantasies at Hinton Ampner, a local stately home (20 minutes). Petersfield (15 minutes) also has three well-stocked bookshops if you fancy getting some reading in during your stay.
