  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A simple clean campsite with great views and walking trails through the farms. There are some drinking water taps around the campsite. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Our car battery was discharged and they helped us to turn the car on in 5 minutes. They did let us know that we can leave anytime after 11am if we wanted. You can pay the balance via a card reader and not need to have cash.

Disliked: Adding a washing area and shower would be great.
