The Meadow non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very relaxed campsite. Open fires in raised pits were allowed which is always a huge plus for the evenings. Lots of space for the kids to run around and not over booked.

Disliked: There were a few toilet issues - doors getting stuck and people locked in, blockages etc, but all were dealt with quickly. Would have been nice to have had better access to running water at toilets and washing up area.

The Meadow non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great site if you’re looking for a back to basics experience. Lovely field (The Meadow) with horses in the next one, red kites flying over every morning. Plenty of space, toilets if you need them and in the warm weather a decent Joolca shower that does the trick. No Wi-Fi but don’t care about that and was aware when booked, only gave one star as there isn’t an option to say there isn’t Wi-Fi. We had a great time and if we are in that neck of the woods again would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Only had two nights there as we had to go back to work on Monday 😔

The Meadow non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The clearing was beautiful and quiet. Very picturesque. Loved having a picnic bench too. Lots of wildlife including some very friendly rats. This is a leave no trace site and it seems everyone sticks to the rules.

Disliked: Only one of the eco toilets was ever open and this had a broken lock, So very difficult to use with no way to hold the door shut. Not sure why the other was kept locked. Some previous guests had thrown the toilet rolls into the toilet and by Sunday there was no toilet roll left. One of the evenings noise continued quite loudly from the other field well past 10pm, was quiet the rest of the days.

Local attractions

That South Downs location means lots of scope for walks and bike rides in gorgeous scenery. If you don’t know where to start, perhaps head for popular spots like the Queen Elizabeth Country Park or Harting Down (both about a half-hour drive) or park in West Meon (10 minutes) for a walk on the 10-mile Meon Valley Trail. There are plenty of options for different days out too: literary fans may like to drop in at Jane Austen’s House (15 minutes), while those with more of a scientific outlook explore the exhibits at Winchester Science Centre & Planetarium (15 minutes). National Trust estates at Hinton Ampner (15 minutes) and Uppark (half an hour) are worth visiting as well. The exotic animals, activities and adventure playgrounds make Marwell Zoo (half an hour) a top pick for family outings, and there are plenty of interesting things to seek out in Winchester (20 minutes) too. For a more relaxed outing, maybe a steam-powered ride on the Mid Hants Railway Watercress Line (15 minutes) will fit the bill?
