Our Farm

Eighty acres,
farmed by nature.

Shelley Oaks is an 80-acre family farm on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire. We farm slowly, alongside nature — having re-established the wildflower meadows and hedgerows that make these fields hum with life through the summer.

For years we've kept a flock of pedigree Jacob sheep — a hardy native breed with horns and a mixed colour fleece. They graze freely, slowly matured on 100% pasture, and produce the tastiest lean hogget lamb you'll find in a Hampshire meat box.

The campsite is woven into the heart of the farm. Tents tucked against the hedgerow, tourers parked where the meadow meets the orchard, and a shepherd's hut gazing out across the field. Welfare — for livestock, land, and guests — comes first here.

Where You'll Sleep

Five pitches.
A thousand stars.

A small, hand-picked site — never crowded, never corporate. Just five unhurried places to spend the night, each one chosen for its view, its shelter, and its slice of sky.

Tent

Meadow Pitches

Bring your own tent and pick a spot against the hedgerow. Generous spacing, soft ground, and a sky that genuinely goes dark at night.

£18/night
Touring

Camper & Caravan

Level hook-up pitches for campervans, motorhomes and touring caravans. Easy access, water on tap, and the waste sorted without fuss.

£26/night
Glamping

Shepherd's Hut

A touch of comfort and luxury. A proper bed, a woodburner for cool evenings, and a private hot tub under the open sky. The New Forest at your door.

£120/night
On The Field

All the comforts.
None of the concrete.

We've kept the things that matter — hot water, proper plumbing, a kitchen that actually works — and left out the things that don't. No arcade, no burger van, no thundering bass at 2am. Just the fields, the stars, and the occasional bleat from the flock.

Kind Words

Loved by campers,
rated five stars.

Caroline and the farm have been recognised by Hipcamp as one of the best in the South East — and a finalist for Best Farmstay. Here's what guests have said.

★★★★★

"A genuinely magical spot. The kids ran wild in the meadow all day, the campfire was lit by dusk, and the Jacob sheep came to say hello at breakfast. We didn't want to leave."

"Stayed in the shepherd's hut for our anniversary — the hot tub under the stars was unreal. Caroline is the most thoughtful host we've had on any campsite, anywhere."

★★★★★

"Took the campervan down for a long weekend. Easy hook-up, spotless facilities, and the New Forest on your doorstep. We've already booked again for next summer."
