  • Peaceful Hampshire wildlife haven 15 minutes’ drive from Winchester
  • A 10-minute walk from a Watercress Line station
  • Adults-only site with views of the surrounding countryside
Head into the Hampshire countryside for a peaceful adults-only stay at Hampshire Hills – this quiet site close to the village of Bighton (about 15 minutes’ drive from Winchester) is set in a glorious countryside location with the chance to see amazing natural wildlife such as red kites flying overhead, rabbits, a friendly pheasant and glowworms. Spread out over four and a half acres on a hilltop, this site has fabulous views across the surrounding countryside towards the South Downs National Park. There are plenty of walking and cycling routes around so you can get out to see more of that gorgeous greenery (perhaps stopping off at a local country pub along the way…), and a good list of heritage attractions too including Jane Austen's House and the National Trust's Hinton Ampner estate. It’s also easy to walk from here to the Watercress Line station in Ropley for a steam-powered ride through the Hampshire countryside. Alresford, a pretty town with riverside walks and a range of pubs, restaurants and boutique shops, is also just a 10-minute drive away from Hampshire Hills; pick up supplies here to cook on the barbecue or in the kitchen facilities back on site.

What customers say

A quiet, adult-only spot with great country views and big, neat pitches. Facilities, like the communal kitchen, are always called spotless and well-stocked. Some find the loo and shower cubicles a bit small, but the friendly host, nearby Watercress Line, and lots of wildlife make for a chill stay. Occasional minor gripes: WiFi speed and road noise.

Liked Wonderful view. Very large pitch . Extremely clean facilities. Camping kitchen had a microwave and fridge.

Disliked The toilet and shower cubicles although they are very clean are too small for tall people to use comfortably. There is only one sink for washing up.

Liked The site is so peaceful. It’s beautifully laid out with the pitches cut through the long grass. Loved having the Guinea Fowl wandering around 😀 My husband says the washing up area is one of the best he’s seen! We loved being able to walk to and through the Watercress line station. The Wi-Fi was very good.

Disliked It would be good to have more toilet and shower rooms and they are very tiny!

Liked Super friendly owner, clean facilities and well maintained site in a fabulous position.The Guinea Fowl morning chorus was unusual and made us smile, certainly not something to put anyone off, as it’s quite brief. Easy short walk to the fascinating work at Watercress line station (Ropley) and travel up or down the line. Will certainly return.

Local attractions

A trip on one of the Watercress Line’s steam trains is like stepping back in time – and you wont have to travel far to do just that, because the line’s Ropley station is only 10 minutes’ walk from your accommodation. Even if you don’t plan to take a ride it’s worth swinging by to see the classic station building and visit the carriage workshop. The heritage doesn’t stop there, of course – there’s a huge amount to explore in Winchester (15 minutes’ drive), and you can also visit Jane Austen’s House or stroll around the elegant house and gardens at the National Trust’s Hinton Ampner (both 10 minutes). Meanwhile, if contemporary art is more your thing, head over to The Sculpture Park (35 minutes), where you can wander among an ever-changing collection of outdoor artworks. Something completely different? Try your hand at tank driving at Juniper Leisure (10 minutes) or sip sparkling wine at Hattingley Valley Wines (15 minutes). You can also see some impressive flying action at the Hawk Conservancy Trust Bird of Prey Centre (40 minutes).
