Trowbridge, England · 51 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months. Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes.

Dog-friendly pop-up site in a spacious ten-acre field A 10-minute drive from beaches and 15 minutes from Milford on Sea Whether you’re paddleboarding on local beaches, pursuing outdoor activities in the New Forest or mooching around the nearby towns, there’s a great balance between civilisation and peaceful countryside at In Nature Camping, part of Coast & Country Camping Club in Hampshire Under a mile from the edge of the New Forest National Park and 10 minutes’ drive away from beaches, there’s lots on the agenda here: days at the beach, visits to nearby historic towns and properties as well as shopping in local villiages. There’s a microbrewery 10 minutes' walk away, which serves drinks like small-cask beer, handcrafted ales and ‘unfined’ beer. A five-minute drive away, there’s another café with pick-your-own farm produce activities. The closest beaches for strolls, snoozes, swimming and the likes are Avon beach (10 minutes), Highcliffe beach (10 minutes) Barton-on-sea beach (10 minutes). As for interesting local towns with shops and cafés, make your way to Highcliffe (five minutes), Christchurch (10 minutes), New Milton (five minutes) and Milford on Sea (15 minutes). The main road from Lyndhurst to the coast runs just a short distance from the field, making it nice and easy to access local attractions. What about the place you’ll be calling home for your Hampshire holiday? Off-grid, it’s very much a wildlife haven. Try your hand at self-sufficiency (barbecues and firepits are allowed, weather conditions permitting) or grab your meals locally. There are four hot showers, six toilets and two washing-up sinks for those of you who decide to dust off the old camp stove and try cooking under the stars.

Escape to wide-open countryside with beautiful sunset views and space to truly unwind — weekend camping done properly. A peaceful, family-run pop-up campsite designed for simple, low-impact stays close to nature. Tucked away in the Oxfordshire countryside, Ushercombe Fields is a small, family-run site focused on keeping things low-impact, sustainable, and in tune with nature. Guests can enjoy clean, modern toilets, washing-up facilities, and a children’s play area — everything you need for a comfortable stay while still keeping that back-to-nature feel. With far-reaching views and generous space between pitches, it’s an ideal place to slow down, breathe in the fresh country air, and switch off for the weekend. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, with plenty of scenic walks nearby, and on clear nights you can relax under a sky full of stars. If you fancy exploring, Hook Norton Brewery is just 10 minutes away for real ales and a great breakfast, while The Farmer’s Dog — owned by Jeremy Clarkson — is around 40 minutes’ drive.
