What an amazing spot in nature! This was an incredible getaway, such a quiet and natural space with birds, surrounded by trees and the very nearby woodlands which are covered in mushrooms, more than we could count! It was so peaceful, we loved the natural space and eco-friendly touches. We definitely want to return again! It was magical!

Really great site. Managed really well. Amazing spot in the woods and plenty of space between yourself and other campers.
Firepits are provided and you can buy wood for fires if you need.
There are some great walks nearby and plenty of stargazing!
Would really recommend this site. Had a really wonderful weekend here.
(There is a closing time of 7pm which is to be aware of and not being able to enter after that point so just something to be aware if traffic or travelling far after work.)
The toilets, eco and flushing, were really good. Didn't use the showers so cant say!

We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location. Rustic and basic, very much as advertised.

Quiet, sheltered and peaceful spot. Great location for using as a base to explore North Hampshire villages and walking trails. Was lovely in The Clearing - so much so we stayed on for an extra night! Facilities are rustic/simple (head torch needed to use the toilets day and night!) but they do the job as long as you’re prepared to get back to basics!

We had a wonderful time here, we stayed in the clearing which was really chilled and idilic. Listening to the sounds of owls calling at night and watching the stars was magical. Jay was really friendly and helpful and the facilities were all we needed. Shower was hot, loos were always clean no matter what time of day or night, washing up areas and drinking water - perfect. More perfect still, no wifi! Great walks and areas to explore, such a relaxing weekend and already working out when we can go back.

A peaceful glade in the woods - plenty of space and a picnic table on each pitch . You can walk straight into the ancient woodland and across sweeping fields.

We had a lovely stay at The Cleaning at Woodlands camping. The site is very family friendly — our two young kids had a fantastic time exploring and enjoying the outdoors. The location is beautiful, with plenty of family activities not too far away to keep everyone entertained. While the facilities were fairly basic, they were clean and totally functional, which was all we needed. The pitches were a great size too, giving us plenty of space. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed, kid-friendly camping trip. Would definitely recommend.

4 nights at The Downs Stables Holidays
The Downs stables is lovely place to spend quality time. All the directions were clear and precise, Theo's pod was perfectly prepared for our arrival and the premises are comfortable. We got to see many horses too. We sure will return to Ruth's land.

Stayed over Sunday to Monday and we only saw one other van. The Clearing is a lovely area surrounded by trees with facilities a minute away. It’s all basic but clean and functional.
We will definitely go again.

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Camping
Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful site. Pitches are clearly marked and spacious. Facilities are basic so if you want flushing toilets and luxury showers, this is not it. Host was very friendly and helpful.

Amazingly relaxing break. Lovely site with wonderful walks through the woods and across the nearby fields. Very peaceful and quiet site.
The night sky was mesmerising.
Compost toilets were clean, though a little cramped. Two portable toilet pods arrived on the second day and we're much appreciated. Cold water washing up facilities were very handy. Host was very friendly and helpful.
Definitely recommend the site for a relaxing get away.
