The whine of light aircraft overhead mingles with birdsong — you're camping at the edge of a working airfield, where Hampshire sky meets open grass and the hum of propellers becomes oddly soothing background noise.
This one's for families after something a bit different, campervan tourers exploring the South East, and anyone who fancies watching small planes take off over breakfast. Tent pitches, caravans and campervans all welcome on straightforward grass grounds that feel genuinely unpretentious. You're in Hampshire countryside here, with the New Forest and coast both reachable, though the appeal is really the novelty of the setting itself — kids absolutely love it.
Facilities are simple and functional: toilets and showers onsite, nothing fancy. Ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can vary. The vibe is relaxed and a touch quirky — not your typical campsite aesthetic, but that's exactly the point. If you want polished glamping, look elsewhere; if you want affordable pitches with a dash of aviation nostalgia, this delivers.
