  • Simple, spacious pitches in rural Hampshire; kids and dogs welcome
  • Winchester, Watercress Line and riding centre within 20 minutes' drive
  • Barbecues permitted; several family-run pubs nearby for eating out
Laidback and friendly are the key words at Barton View, in the handsome Hampshire countryside 10 minutes’ drive from Alresford. It’s a pick-your-own pitch setup here, and there’s plenty of space to choose from, all of it with fine rural views towards Winchester by day and dark skies for star-spotting by night. The owners have allocated a minimum of six metres between pitches here, so you can afford to spread out a little and make yourselves at home, perhaps bringing along a firepit to do a bit of cooking and keep warm while you enjoy the stunning sunsets. Dogs are welcome at Barton View (as long as they’re kept on a lead) and there’s plenty of space for kids to play or look out for wildlife – deer can often be seen in neighbouring fields, and there may be buzzards, kites and kestrels overhead. Alresford is a good hub for restaurants and cafés, and there are several family-run pubs close to the site too so you shouldn’t go short of places to eat or drink nearby. If you’d rather go down the self-catering route, bring along a barbecue and pick up supplies at the shops in town or the local farm shop. Days out nearby? There’s plenty to choose from here, including rides on the Watercress Line, historic strolls around Winchester, walks in the South Downs National Park and animal encounters at Marwell Zoo.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely quiet campsite, owners were super friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere and ease of access to drinking water. Toilets super clean.

Disliked Only one shower and two toilets but fortunately the campsite wasn’t too busy and didn’t have to wait very often. Other than that everything was amazing.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This is a campsite on the Camino de Ingles route where we stopped the night while hiking. It has very clean hot showers and a toilets. The owner was friendly and said as he wasn’t busy he wouldn’t hurry us out in the morning. The field was well kept, some farm animals nearby and lots of wild birds.
A quiet spot in the country side. Just what we needed.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The site was simple but well maintained. Toilets and shower were clean and working well. Plenty of space, my two boys enjoyed the space to ride around on their bikes, as well as watching the sheep and horses in the adjoining field.
Close to Alresford and lovely surrounding countryside.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely view, quirky amenities in transformed horse boxes, extremely chilled site and the owners very friendly and accommodating.
Would definitely recommend, we were in a campervan and used battery for electric and numerous water taps available for fresh supplies.

Rubbish area clean and tidy, would have liked a recycling area too, but thats ok we took on with us and placed in separate bin (not a complaint just a suggestion)

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The toilets and showers were clean, well maintained and the camp site was lovely an quiet. Great sight for star gazing as no artificial lights from nearby towns.

Disliked If the field was full, then the limited facilities could be over used and may need to wait a long time. Not much to do in walking distance.

Liked Nice flat field.
Enough toilets.
Hot shower.
Water on tap

Disliked There is a cable (telegraph maybe) in the field, but if you are going to be throwing a frisbee or launching a rugby ball you can just situate yourself at a different end of the field.
Be aware the exits to the field are onto a quick road with no pavement, but exits are well fenced off and there is no concern for kids escaping.
