Book Our Campsite and Event Hall
Perfect for Scout Groups and Private Events
Embark on your next Scouting adventure at our Campsite and Event Hall in Clanfield, nestled in the heart of the South Downs countryside in Hampshire. Our fully-equipped Scout hall, kitchen, showers, and enclosed garden (with fire pit!) are available for hire, providing the ideal setting for your group’s camping trips, nights away, and events.
As a purpose-built facility, our Scout Hall is designed to host groups with all the essential amenities for a smooth camping experience. With wheelchair accessibility, everyone can enjoy the activities and explore the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
Our Scout Hut is more than just a place to sleep. Groups can hike Butser Hill, mountain bike in the nearby Queen Elizabeth II Country Park, attend astronomy lessons at the Clanfield Observatory, and uncover the rich history of the Butser Hill Ancient Farm.
In addition to welcoming Scout and Guide groups, we also accept private bookings. Whether you’re hosting a quiz night, kids’ party, or barn dance, submit an inquiry, and we will respond promptly.
Our event hall has a maximum capacity of 40 people, with a maximum capacity of 25 sleeping overnight. The outdoor area accommodates up to 40 people with four 6-man tents on the south side, three 1-4-man tents on the east side, and four 1-4-man tents on the north side, with a recommended maximum of 12 tents. For those using the fire pit, less tent space is available. The car park can hold up to 10 cars.

Clanfield Observatory
Clanfield is lucky to host The Hampshire Astronomical Group’s Clanfield Observatory , which is reputed to be one of the best equipped amateur observatories in the UK. They are happy to host visits with Scout groups, and will provide a comprehensive guided tour of the Observatory and show the ‘wonders of the night sky’ through their large research-grade telescopes. There is a small fee charged – currently £5 per child, £10 per adult – with a maximum of 32 persons per visit.
We are lucky to be placed in an area with lots of lovely local parks. There are two within 5-10mins walking distance of the hut. Peel Park is on top of the hill with a large play area, skatepark, football field and small basketball court. This park is also a dog-free zone. There is also Clanfield Meadow which hosts the Clanfield Cricket Club and which also features a large play area and a large open space for games.
