  • Lively Hampshire family farm site with easy access from M3 and A303
  • A 20-minute drive to Winchester and Watercress Line railway
  • Café, farm shop and brewery taproom with weekend food trucks
Fancy a farm stay, but not so keen on the idea of a long drive along country lanes? Get yourselves along to Dummer Down Farm, in a handy Hampshire location that’s easily accessed from the M3 and A303 (thereby also making it a good place to consider for a stopover on a longer journey…) There’s a real buzz about this lively place, which is just outside the pretty village of Dummer and within 20 minutes’ drive of Winchester and Basingstoke. It’s not just a campsite at this family farm – there’s also a farm shop, a café (with a terrace looking out over the fields) and a brewery, where you can finish your day off with a pint of fresh local beer in the taproom next door or pick up something to eat from one of the local food trucks that park here at weekends. If you’d rather do the self-catering thing, stop by at the market garden to see what sort of fresh organic veg they’ve got for sale that day. A convenience store is about a mile and a half away for any other bits you need to go with your dinner. Working up an appetite for these meals and drinks should be easy, as there’s some great walking and cycling to be done directly from the farm as well as plenty of places to have a day out (including wanders around Winchester, animal encounters at Marwell Zoo and grownup trips to see wine and gin in production). Facilities in the field include toilets, a washing-up area, drinking water taps and a chemical disposal point. Dogs are welcome to join you for a stay here.

Liked Farm location with open field and pitch anywhere option. Lovely location and lots of onsite facilities like cafe, brewery, food trucks, and live music!

Disliked No onsite showers and limited washing facility means only an over night stay is feasible.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location and venue, situated next to a great brewery and cafe.
Friendly and modern vibe although basic amenities.
There is a toilets int he brewery but when it's closed you have use of 4 portaloos.

Disliked Although it was checked beforehand and advised that the brewery closes at 10pm they had live music going on which went on until 1230.. Then there was the noise after which went onto about 0130 while everyone was getting taxies and leaving.

Be aware that in the evenings at the weekend it can be loud.

Nice area, good facilities, dog friendly, very relaxed…

Liked Beautiful landscape, mature trees, simple and spacious campsite.

The brewery with music duo and pizza van created a relaxed focal point on Saturday evening, but weren't intrusive to the camping area.

We had a tasty coffee in the morning, it was lovely to sit outside in the sun enjoying the quiet farmyard, with cyclists and others stoppping by.

Great cafe on site for breakfast and lunch times. great bar and evening…

Liked Great cafe on site for breakfast and lunch times.
great bar and evening food options available.
loved the games in the shed to get the kids busy.

Disliked would be good to have a shower room.
Toilets were a bit of a distance from far end of field, but ok overall.
