If you're looking for a peaceful stay I would avoid this one!

Body Farm
If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet stay then I would looking for an alternative site. This has to be one of the busiest, noisiest sites we have been to. We didn't enjoy our stay here, you had constant noise from the neighbouring farm, an EXTREMELY loud donkey that begins its excruciating noise from 5am onwards and regularly throughout the day. It sounded very much like it was in distress. He was taken away once so we were relieved from the noise for a day but then he was brought back. I have no issues with farm animals at all however this donkey sounded very bad, definitely something wrong there. Also, the routine of moving the bins from here to there happens nearly everyday and that soon gets very annoying when they are being banged about outside your caravan. However, the worst aspect was the tiny area given for 5 caravans on the hardstanding, all are crammed in, the area provided was ridiculous. We didn't feel comfortable here with everyone on top of one another. At full capacity there is nowhere to park vehicles next to the caravans. I can imagine the situation would be different in summer as the grass area would be open allowing more space, however definitely avoid when only the hardstanding is available. There are a couple of positive the OX Indian was very good and a laundrette close by, that is where the positives begin and end. Definitely the most unenjoyable site we have been to so far....

Excellent Site

Body Farm
We stayed here for 4 nights in early November, it was our first time here and was a pleasant surprise. We were on the hard standing which would make it useable in all the winter months. The grass area for the summer months would need some decent levelling ramps. The views across the open fields and countryside are lovely. All facilities for waste/recycling are nearby. The walks from the site across the owner's fields were quiet and empty. There is a circular walk along the footpaths and through woods which will take you to North Baddesley which take you past the Co-op where you can get a Costa coffee. If going in the winter months the walk will definitely need wellington boots. The village of North Baddesley is about a 10 min walk down the lane from the site where you can get a bus to the lovely village of Romsey. A walk back from there will take you about an hour or you may be able to improve on our time. All in all, a perfect site well looked after, tidy and clean and excellent value. We hope to return.

Delightful and relaxing

Body Farm
A lovely site with views of countryside. We loved watching the swallows and wagtails busy feeding. The deers with their two youngsters were a delight as we watched them wandering through the fields. Lovely local walks through the very north end of the new forest.Decent site with a narrow entry. Perfect for our two night stay before onward journey. This is a public walking route so some daily activity of folk passing through.

Excellent site for the money

Body Farm
We stayed here just after new year so wanted hardstanding which was fine and could accommodate 5 vans. We have a 30ft motorhome so it was perfect for the size. The owners and couple managing the site were all very friendly and helpful. We had a space overlooking fields with horses in it so it was lovely and very peaceful. As we had no car we did walk up the nearby road which takes about 10 mins to the nearest shops, pub and bus stop that we used numerous times into Southampton. The road for a third of the way has no pavement so take a torch if walking in the dark. Overall very good value and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
