Small pop-up site on the edge of the South Downs National Park
A 20-minute drive from Winchester; half an hour from Marwell Zoo
Spacious pitches on a working farm; campfire wood for sale

Splendid Hampshire countryside views and plenty of peace and quiet are what’s on offer at Woodlands Camping. This small-scale pop-up site is just on the northern edge of the South Downs National Park about five minutes’ drive south of the village of Ropley. If you’re after clubhouses, arcades and on-site entertainment you’ll want to look elsewhere: this site on a working farm is all about the fresh air, the rural peace and the lovely views. The folk that run the site have deliberately limited the number of pitches available in order to ensure plenty of space for everyone, and kept the amenities to just the essentials of toilets, showers and a washing-up area. There’s a ‘leave no trace’ policy in place here, with guests all encouraged to do their bit to preserve the environment around them (and that stretches to being asked not to feed the farm’s horses, as much as they might bat their eyelashes at you in hope…) Campfires and barbecues are permitted but you’ll need to keep them in a suitable container off the ground; there’s wood available to buy on site from locally managed woodland. Pick up supplies for your barbecue (or picnics while you’re out exploring the countryside) at the village store, or head to the bigger supermarkets in Winchester or Petersfield, both about 20 minutes’ drive away.

Dan P. June 2024

The Meadow unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

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.

Mark A. June 2024

The Meadow unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

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 😔

Alexandra H. June 2024

The Meadow unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

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.

Peaceful, relaxed, owner nice and helpful.

The Clearing unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: The fact we could have a fire. woodland around, could hear owls, Open to sky shower, relaxed. Would like to be in the original field that we booked next time although the one we were is was fine it was a long walk to the shower and to carry the washing up to the sink so would go back but would like the smaller field next time.

Disliked: That we didn't get ti be in the field we had booked. Toilet and washing up far away if in big field. Also it was very rainy (no falt of campsite) Maybe a rough shelter could be built in the middle of the field.

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?
