Why stay here ...
Located between Newbury and Basingstoke, Freemantle Park Farm Caravan Site sits on top of the North Hampshire Downs with views over the beautiful Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire countryside hundreds of feet below. Previously the site was home to King John's hunting lodge with parts of the Deer Leap and Carp Pond still visible today.
The site is ideal for those that want a quiet base in a rural retreat away from busy roads but wish to be close to interesting day outs and wonderful walks with breathtaking views.
The acre site lies on the edge of an attractive Beech wood with good hard road access from a private road running through the farm. The nearest village is Hannington (1 mile) with an excellent pub, The Vine.
Site facilities include an emptying septic tank and water standpipes (drinking and washout) and good local knowledge available from the owner's family who live on the farm. Kingsclere Village (4 miles) has good shops and amenities.

Amazing views, peaceful site
Freemantle Park Farm
We stayed on this site a few weeks ago, I intended to write a review then but forgot. I have remembered now as I'm about to book another stay.
The access is a little tight with a caravan but with some careful driving on the last bit of the drive it's not a problem, the turn into the site requires some thought but again doable without problems. The view from the site is amazing and the field has plenty of room, It has a slope towards the edge where we pitched, OK with a caravan but the motorhomes parked further up where it's flatter. The EHU is easy and 16 amp ,the water tap is slow because the site is high up but if you time it right you can set a barrel filling and then empty the grey water and be back before the barrel is full. The waste bin is across the drive and the CDP is basic as most are away from the club sites.
The site is very peaceful and has plenty of walks nearby, in fact many walkers can be seen walking past the gate along the footpaths towards the next great view at the end of the lane. When we were there it was windy and next trip we will take a wind break to give some shelter.
Not as expected
Freemantle Park Farm
The access is a nightmare, the road might be firm, but it narrows and narrows even more the closer you get. Just before you reach the sharp turn into the gate, there are dense laurel hedges that must have brushed the sides of our caravan. The signage is pretty poor too. We stopped to ask a chap living nearby directions to check we were nearly there, and he explained better than the CAMC book where to go. Discovered there had been a change in circumstances of the owner(s), which helped us later to figure out whose bank account to pay into - important since there is no physical contact with site owner, and no signage. Couldn't figure out at first why we couldn't set the alarm on the caravan when we were going out...its the massive mast next to the field blocking the signal. Yes there's a view, when the weather permits, but the field itself isn't just sloping, it's very very uneven and lumpy. As previously stated in another review, the waste disposal is unpleasant, and we had to put rubbish into a big commercial bin because there was nothing on the actual field. Arrival from 10am means you are likely to meet another outfit as you try to leave, and guess what, we did!

Amazing view
Freemantle Park Farm
We have just spent 3 nights on this site, the view is amazing because it's so high up the whole valley is visible, there are birds flying over the cliff edge and horses in the next field.
That said the site is basic, there is one drinking water tap and that runs very slowly, I timed it and 7 minutes to fill a 40 ltr barrel but as there are a maximum of 5 units at any one time it's not a problem. The field is sloping towards the edge in the middle but levels out to the side, that's not a problem for us in a caravan but a motorhome would have to find a level bit.
The site is very peaceful and well away from buildings apart from a tv/phone mast, so very quiet, the downside is a long drive from the road, it is tarmac so not difficult.
We came here for the walks and were not disappointed we will definitely be back
Stunning views & sunsets
Freemantle Park Farm
Spent 2 nights here
Park anywhere you like. Electric hook up water & chemical waste
The views from the site were beautiful & amazing sunsets.
Very tight roads on approaching site but passing places
Lots of walks from site
Only one other Motorhome whilst we were there so plenty of room to choose from.
Horses in the adjacent field
Yes the water fill up was slow.
Didn’t meet anyone from site whilst we were there
Down point were the chemical waste point was the worse I have had to encounter 😥 a green wheelie bin lid over the hole it was gross!! & the tap was not close enough to wash out your cassette.

A Great CL
Freemantle Park Farm
A group of us seach out and book a cl once a year. This year we chose this one and all of us agreed the best so far in 8 years.
We were there during the very hot weather and the trees are hugh and offered us all shade.
The views are great and a gentle breeze wass welcome. A little "bumpy" but nothing to worry about. Elson point by the gate and water tap under the trees. Yes the water pressure is low but as someone else said "you're on holiday!!!!"
Sue is very helpful. A great and very quiet site. Very recommended.
