Non Electric Grass Pitch

Quiet, back to basics rural camping

If quiet back to basics camping is your thing then this is for you. The site was very basic with just land and a toilet but for us that's exactly what we look for. The area was very rural, we "enjoyed" (kids would possibly debate the use of this word haha) walks at Hambledon Hill and Hod Hill. Both were very hilly but the views were awesome and the were both exceptionally quiet. At the same time, whilst very rural there was a Co-op with a good range about 2 mins away and a pub if that's your thing. For us, we just enjoyed some quiet time away. It was us, two children (9 & 14) and two Rough Collies who also had a great time.
