Meonside campsite is located in a picturesque chalk hill valley at the source of the River Meon in the South Downs National Park. Just a 10-minute walk from the historic Domesday village of East Meon, it offers both tranquillity and accessibility. Ideal for walking, cycling, or a brief wander, it's only 15 minutes from the South Downs Way and next to the East Hampshire cycle route. We also have the Meonside Pantry onsite offering a curated selection of farm-fresh, locally grown seasonal vegetables, grass-fed meats, and artisanal products, all grown and crafted with care.
