  • Rural dog-friendly adults-only site in Sherfield English
  • Half an hour's drive from Salisbury and 10 minutes from the New Forest
  • Cosy country pub within a 15-minute stroll
To Hampshire for a holiday in a rather relaxed kid-free spot? Meadow Tree Farm is a nearly-wild site with basic facilities on a working beef farm. Friendly and adults-only, it is spread over 21 acres on the edge of the village of Sherfield English, about 10 minutes' drive from Romsey. There's plenty of space for you (and any doggie companions you may have brought along) to chill out on site and, most importantly, a cosy country pub a gentle 15-minute stroll away. Fishing lakes are next door and there are fab trails for ramblers and cyclists a few miles away in the New Forest National Park. Back at base the laidback vibe is preserved by keeping facilities to a minimum, but the essentials are all in place, including toilets, showers and a washing-up area. Sounds good? You'd better be quick: Meadow Tree Farm is a pop-up site that's only open for a limited amount of time each year.

What customers say

This adults-only campsite offers a peaceful woodland setting on a working farm. Reviewers loved the friendly owner, freedom to pick your own spot, and dog-friendly, campfire-welcoming atmosphere. Facilities are basic but clean, though some noted they are dated with upgrades planned. Great location near the New Forest and local shops.

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked The pitches were not restricted giving a casual feel.
The location was good; in the country but not too far away from life.
Dogs welcome.
Few rules but those that were there were applied.
Fire pits allowed.
Friendly owner who checked in regularly and seemed to genuinely be interested in our experience.

Disliked We knew the shower block was tired and that was how we found it. Although the toilets were clean we found the one shower a challenge.
Our pitch smelt of urine, we think was from
the cows and was more pungent when the wind blew.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A great option for basic camping near the New Forest.

Rich R.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite

Liked Freedom to pitch anywhere, woodland setting, great price, car free (you can drop your gear near the camping area then move your car). Basic facilities but pretty clean. Just the one shower but just pick your time. Very friendly owner.
Its a working farm so expect some associated noise from time to time and maybe pitch nearer the lake if you want even more peace and quiet.
An over 21 years old site.

Astrid G.

Powered forest floor tent campsite (woodland)

Liked Lovely peaceful woodland setting, choose your own pitch, not too busy. Clean toilets, friendly and helpful camp owner and fellow campers when my electric pump wouldn't pump up my air tent.

Disliked Toilet and shower block quite small with three unisex toilets and one shower for the whole site, but they were kept clean and stocked with toilet roll. I only stayed two nights so decided to shower at home afterwards.
Electric hook up hard to connect to if you're camping in a tent in the woodland area, you have to be able to reach the electric boxes on the other side of the shrubs and trees, but I managed it.

Nice tidy site friendly staff. Pitches were fairly level

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked Can’t say there was nothing to dislike easy check in choose where you would like to pitch we did go for near the farm end as our motorhome is long and parked length way to the hedge.

Disliked The down side if you can call it that is the shower and toilet block was awaiting repair/upgrade and we were told of that at booking but didn’t affect us they were still perfectly useable.
I’ve given a good solid 9.5 purely because of the shower block

Rebecca V.

Powered forest floor tent campsite (woodland)

Liked Friendly owner.
Adults only.

Disliked For the facilities provided and in its current state, I feel this is overpriced in comparison to other campsites that I have stayed in, in the new forest area.
No allocated pitches - there was enough room but if paying for electric, ensure you bring a long enough cable, 10 metres is probably not enough.
3 toilets and 1 shower - I understand that an application has gone into improve this.
Vehicles had to be parked away from your pitch - appreciate that this was mentioned in info.

Local attractions

Bring your boots along, for there’s much rural rambling to be done in the New Forest National Park around a 10-minute drive from Meadow Tree Farm. Bike trails run through the forest too, and you can saddle up to see the wildlife from horseback at a riding centre a few minutes’ drive from the site. Other open-air activities nearby include teeing off at one of the golf courses within a 15-minute drive or swinging through the trees at the Go Ape park half an hour away. Sailing lessons and boat trips can be had from Southampton or Lymington, both within a 45-minute drive. For history-infused days out, head to Sailsbury or pay a visit to Romsey Abbey, Breamore House or the vintage car collection at Beaulieu, all of which are within a half an hour’s drive. For animal antics, Marwell Zoo is also about half an hour away.
