  • 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, head to the on-site honesty shop, which sells honey, eggs, bread and charcoal, or try the village shop in Sandleheath, five minutes' drive away, to bag supplies for the barbecue. Cook up your findings while you get toasty by one of the site’s firepits (logs are also available to buy on base).

Meadow bell tent

Liked A lovely campsite with a nice chilled out vibe.

The kitchenette is fantastic, if you've forgotten something as we always do, you will likely find what you need there.

We stayed in one of the Meadow bell tents. It was a nice change not having to arrive and put up our tent, the double bed was very comfortable, as were the single camp beds. The tent was set out very nice.

The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, there were always around if you needed anything.

Highly recommended!!

Meadow bell tent

Liked We had a wonderful stay at Ladybird Farm! The Bell tents were really cosy and spacious and the double bed very comfortable. The tents have fairy lights outside that comes on when it gets dark!
The kitchen is so well equipped. We had brought our own utensils but there was really no need. Toilets and showers were clean and worked well. The setting of the field is lovely with great views. There was plenty of space for the kids to play rounders and games. Hannah, the owner is very friendly and very much around. The little honesty shop is brilliant, it provided us with fresh sourdough bread, eggs and honey etc. We went with 3 other families and had a fantastic couple of days, would highly recommend!

Unpowered grass campervan site

Liked Great site, really friendly and great atmosphere with everyone there clearly having a good time. Facilities were beautiful, well maintained and clean and tidy

Disliked Not an issue when we were there as it was so scorching hot - but the corrugated steel shower enclosure would be a bit chilly to touch in normal weather! Also the solar lights come on when it’s dark outside - but it’s dark in the shower a while before that so take a torch with you to shower in an evening

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...
