Lots of space to spread out
Not a cloud in the sky
The grass has been cut, ready to welcome new guests
Well-maintained grass pitches

  • Simple, spacious pitches in rural Hampshire; kids and dogs welcome
  • Winchester, Watercress Line and riding centre within 20 minutes' drive
  • 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: The toilets and showers were clean, well maintained and the camp site was lovely an quiet. Great sight for star gazing as no artificial lights from nearby towns.

Disliked: If the field was full, then the limited facilities could be over used and may need to wait a long time. Not much to do in walking distance.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice flat field.
Enough toilets.
Hot shower.
Water on tap

Disliked: There is a cable (telegraph maybe) in the field, but if you are going to be throwing a frisbee or launching a rugby ball you can just situate yourself at a different end of the field.
Be aware the exits to the field are onto a quick road with no pavement, but exits are well fenced off and there is no concern for kids escaping.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: So much space for the kids to have freedom. The owner is very chilled and nice. Loved the unusual toilets and showers in horse boxes!

We stayed with another family and we loved that we could pitch up wherever and weren't limited to specific pitches.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Shower and toilet units were great, very clean. The area was huge so you are well spaced from other campers. The owner was friendly and answered all questions and supplied a contact phone number.
Can’t rate WiFi as I didn’t even look for it…camping shouldn’t have WiFi.

Disliked: Location is not the easiest to find, but worth it for feeling like you’re away from everything.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The location, the simplicity, the peace.

Disliked: If I was being fussy, I would suggest next time the field is cut, use a mower that collects the grass cuttings.
