Woodlands Camping Reviews

Back to basics camping at its best

We had a fantastic stay at Woodlands camping as a group of 4 adults and a child. The surrounding area is beautiful and looked particularly pretty this time of year with the autumn colours. We had a delicious pub lunch locally at The Fox. Great. Communication from the site was really good with all the information we needed to check in. The site is semi wild camping with 2 compost toilets and a shower. Compost toilets were clean and well cared for, just perhaps a little small (2 adults were over 6ft and found it a bit of a squeeze!).

Great stay!

Ideal back to basics site, stunning setting and fabulous weekend.

Lovely spot

Had a great time at this campsite. Very clean, quiet and friendly. Lovely location for our first time “off grid”. Thank you Jason.

What a fabulous find!

What a fabulous place. It was just perfect for us and our 2 dogs. We stayed in the clearing which had only 6 pitches and was adult only and dog friendly. This was ideal. It felt like our own private hideaway and although all pitches were taken, we had ample space to maintain distance and have privacy. We had a picnic bench and table with our pitch too. The site is rustic and I like that. While rustic it was still 'nice' and it felt good be outside. The shower was in a wooden shed with shelves and hooks and it was nice and felt clean. There was a men's urinal and a kitchen sink utility area. This was all for our field but others did use it, but we could use there's too. I have to admit, I wasn't sure at first about using the compostable toilets but I can honestly say I now prefer that to a portaloo any day! You put sawdust over your business and I thought that felt very green and very clean. It didn't smell either and it was hot when we stayed. The manager, Jason, was really friendly and helpful and accommodated our change of booking with ease. He pays attention to detail with lovely touches, like flower baskets to make the washroom and kitchen area look pretty, a small 'garden of flowers' too on the lead up to our small field. He had also got in some flushing toilets in the meadow. It really felt like being back to nature. Not at all commercial which is why we chose it. It's on a working farm and we have dogs so we were pleased to be away from the meadow and horse paddock. A nice chance to switch off. The meadow was much bigger but not too busy either with ample space between pitches. We did a 2 night trial for the dogs mainly, but we loved it and are keen on going back there as our time was short. Thanks to Jason for making it a lovely place to stay!

Great, secluded, eco friendly campsite

Great site for camping

Had a great time at the Woodlands camping, all basic facilities are available. Easy to find the area and host was very helpful with the information.

Spot on

Simple, spacious, great location. Perfect for a quiet escape. Helpful team, lovely spot, situated in lovely countryside. Thank you!

No frills camping

Lovely setting, friendly guests, safe environment. Basic facilities.

Superb back to basics site in an idyllic location in the Meon valley

This site had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The facilities were basic but clean and in good condition. A lovely location to go on walks in some beautiful scenery. Very dog-friendly with loads of pups on site. Great place to sit out around a fire pit of a evening. Owner is fantastic and very welcoming.

Woodlands

Jason sent me a map and what three words, as the postcode was a little out, which helped. He was there to welcome us Nd I asked if we could pitch in the main area by the entrance (not where we'd booked) to save taking everything to the pitch site with a wheelbarrow and away from the car. We were going to an event in the evening and would return, not wishing to drive through the main field late at night. He was more than happy to accommodate that. The site was lovely and peaceful. It is an Eco site, but the toilets and shower both very clean, with bins labelled for types of rubbish. The only thing I would've liked was to have a general waste bin, rather than taking ours home, but I understand the ethos. We had a lovely time, thank you very much.

Excellent stay at an excellent site

We stayed for three nights in the Littlewood camp and had a great time. Really quiet and secluded, and felt almost like wild camping! The campsite was in a great location that wasn't difficult to find and all the facilities were as described. Jason was really friendly and helpful, and was a great host for our time at the campsite. We would happily come and stay here again.

As close to wild camping as you can get

It was a fantastic stay while being hosted by Jason. He had was always in contact and was happy to help no matter what.

Beautiful site

One of the best sites we have ever stayed at. Very well kept, great location. Feels like staying in a secret garden. Guy who hosted us was exceptional, really helpful and made us feel really welcome. We will definitely be revisiting at the earliest opportunity.

Area bursting with wildlife

Really enjoyed our stay at this site. The host was really friendly and welcoming. The site has loads of space to guarantee peace and quiet. The kids loved to play around the tent in the 'Clearing'. The picnic tables there are a definite bonus. Particularly loved the trees in the Clearing and hearing the owls at night. Went for a walk towards Brandeam and wildlife was literally jumping right in front of us. Never came that close to so many wild animals in a 2h walk before: deers, hares, rabbits, pheasants, partridges and we think we might have spotted a black fox too! The Fox pub at Brandeam was lovely and can cater for celiacs. :)

Glad you enjoyed yourself and got to enjoy all that the place has to offer. Hope to welcome you again soon!

Eco quiet location

This was our first eco site and it was very peaceful and quiet. Spacious pitches meant for a private stay. A beautiful area full of wildlife and lovely walks all around the site. This is an eco site with basic facilities but everything you need is available. Friendly owner who was very helpful made for a great holiday .

Great campsite

Stayed in Littlewood for 3 nights with my dog. Staff were friendly and helpful. Purchased some fire logs on arrival which was supplied immediately. The facilities were well located and clean. Had a very enjoyable stay.

A great place to stay!

A rustic and charming campsite with facilities to cover your basic needs. Jason was very friendly and welcoming and answered any questions we had. Very much recommended for a short break!

Lovely site with friendly manager

Lovely, well kept site, good for a weekend semi-wild camping. Great for hammock and tent camping alike!

Quiet and peaceful

Lovely, quiet location good for walking, cycling both on and off road and generally meandering around the villages.

Beautiful location, friendly service

The person running the operation was enthusiastic and friendly. We stayed in the woodland area, which was beautiful. We didn't explore too much because of the weather, but what we did see was stunning countryside, and a nice quiet area for camping.

Peaceful and quiet location in a woodland clearing

Plenty of room absolutely no noise. Stayed as a last minute stopover on the way to the ferry and found it a lovely surprise. The location was easy to find with the extra information from J, it seems it is so peaceful the sat nav sometimes gets lost! Lovely walks and whilst I was a little concerned about my first experience of a compost loo, I need not have worried as it was actually cleaner than my sons bathroom!

Lovely, peaceful site for walking and relaxation

Peaceful, secluded site in a lovely location for walking. Friendly and helpful owner with good communication before and during my stay. Very basic facilities in keeping with the site's "green" ethos, which are clean, effective and well-kept.

July stay

Quiet site in an out-of-the way location. Efficient and clean facilities. Great three-quarters of an hour walk to the local pub using public footpaths.
