Peaceful off-grid Hampshire site with South Downs views
Marwell Zoo 15 minutes' walk away; 15 minutes' drive to Winchester
Four acres of countryside and natural habitats; bushcraft activities

Guests from all over the UK, Europe and the US have been to Morelands Copse Camping – with many leaving rave reviews calling the place ‘magical’ or ‘pure heaven’. Several have even ended up staying for longer than they planned, or quickly returning… So what is it about this place that inspires such enthusiasm? Well, the location’s a pretty good start – it has four acres of secluded and private Hampshire countryside to its name, with views over Hensting Valley and the South Downs National Park. Stunning sunsets are also common. There’s a real emphasis on preserving natural habitats here – the grounds are made up of an open field next to wildflower meadows and ancient woodlands, and nearly a kilometre of native hedgerows have been planted to create new wildlife habitats too. All of this provides an ever-changing backdrop of colour throughout the season, but one constant is the lack of light pollution that allows for some stunning stargazing on clear nights. The site is off grid and low impact, but it does have some essential facilities including portable toilets, a hot shower and an additional (and rather fun) Wrigley tin shower with a bucket on a pulley for that real wild camping vibe. There’s also an honesty shop for gas and a few other bits and bobs – other supplies can be picked up in either Eastleigh or Winchester, both of which are about 15 minutes’ drive away. A number of activities are available on site, including bushcraft (willow weaving, learning to build a den and foraging) and arts and crafts using the supplies and materials provided in the crafts den. Alternatively, you might like to take a walk to one of the local pubs for a meal and a couple of drinks – there are two lovely options within 20 minutes’ stroll. The closest bus stop is only 15 minutes' walk away too. For a spa day, head to the hotel in Marwell, which is five minutes' walk away.

George's shepherd's hut (woodland)

Liked: Peaceful surroundings right in the middle of woodland. All the wildflowers. Hot tub which was setup for us. How cosy and romantic the Shepherds hut was with bedding, gas heater blankets, torch and candles. The outdoor kitchen was equipped with tea/coffee/milk and a kettle/stove with gas. Very close drop toilets which were clean and had toilet paper. We did the Shawford Down loop walk which was so varied and exactly what we were looking for then we treated ourselves to a great meal at Fisher’s Pond pub a couple of minutes drive away. Heard owls at night and woken with the bird chorus with woodpeckers. It was exactly what we were looking for to have a break.

Disliked: It was a little tricky to contact when I first made the booking months ago but they were really available just before and for the duration of our stay with staff on site checking we were ok.

Liked: Very chilled and tucked away site on a farm. The field was large enough that we weren’t too close to other tents.

Mark who was the site manager for our weekend was super helpful and friendly

Kez’s shepherd's hut

Liked: Massive secure interesting camping site, with mini forest with loads of natural seating and fire pits.

Took my dog Purdie, many great walks just outside the site, you can walk for miles and we did.

My Kes hut remined me of my shed but on sticks, off grid perfect if you want peace and cook food on the fire pit.

Large open plan kitchen area in the grounds, has everything you need to make a decent meal.

Disliked: Nothing and I have been to many places last year to compare.

Kez’s shepherd's hut

Liked: Me and my partner loved staying here in the Kez’s Shepherds Hut it gave us an idea of what living in the wilderness would be like and brought us closer to nature as we live in a town with minimal woodland around us. My dog Halo absolutely loved the freedom, she came face to face with a horse for the first time and they touched noses, her reaction was priceless and will remain with me for the rest of my life. We are planning on coming back in the summer with the kids and we cannot wait to experience this with them. The owners are really helpful and friendly I would recommend to anybody and everybody I know about this place. 5*

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: Simple and well kept site in the woods for a good price. The communal area under cover was a nice surprise.

Disliked: Very little signage or pitch markings or visible staff and no site map which led to a confusing arrival.
I only received an email while on the way explaining it was a first come first served basis for pitches and just to grab one.i finally noticed that email after wandering round the site a bit confused.
Quiet time after 10.30 was not enforced.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: This place felt so magical and fun with the woodland walk to find a pitch and the little details dotted around really added to that. Loved that I was able to have a campfire!

Disliked: The only reason I didn’t give a 5 was although it felt in the middle of nowhere there was still the background hum of main road noise with some loud motorbikes making use of the quieter roads at night.

Local attractions

There’s a lot of fun to be had simply knocking about on site – the site is fenced so kids can play and dogs can sniff about safely. That said, this is also a great area for outings, and one of the best is very close by: the excellent Marwell Zoo, which you can reach with a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive for a day among the giraffes, tigers and hippos. This location on the edge of the South Downs National Park also clearly lends itself to walks, bike rides and other outdoor activities – and there’s more of all that in the nearby New Forest National Park (20 minutes’ drive) too. For a complete change of scenery, you might instead fancy city strolls in either historic Winchester (15 minutes) or down in Southampton (25 minutes), where both Solent Sky and SeaCity Museum are handy rainy-day options.
