Clear filters Great site but busy
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Lovely pretty site amongst lots of trees. Great facilities. We camped in Aug but didn't really realise quite how busy it was going to be - our fault though. Good location close to Brockenhurst with lots of places to eat. Many interesting places to visit locally. Beautiful ponies and wildlife.
Downsides. You could hear busy road which runs alongside the site. Virtually no internet connection (Wi-Fi not working either), no freezers and would recommend going outside school holidays if you prefer a quieter campsite (we have kids!).
Great campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Lovely camping location amongst the trees in the forest
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Facilities were good.
Lovely location and facilities
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 We had a lovely stay. 5 min drive from nearest town (Brockenhurst, I recommend for food shop or a great location for walks), shop on site for essentials, great location for walks.
Very friendly and helpful staff even though they were so busy! Lots of toilets, showers and washing up area. Always very clean. Phone charging was limited. Overall great for the price and would recommend to anyone wanting a proper new forest experience with horses and beautiful scenery.
Amazing visit
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 We had a lovely stay at Hollands Wood campsite, incredible location and lovely campsite surroundings.
Facilities were great and always very clean! Staff were lovely and super helpful, would highly recommend and hope to return soon!
Road trip
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Great campsite. With a lovely holiday buzz.
Showers and toilet facilities were great. Lovely soft toilet roll!
No fires and dogs on a leash killed the camp vibe VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Nice staff, with clean and well equipped premises.
But we were not allowed to have a fire, only BBQ and they had to be off by 9pm. Also, dogs had to be on a leash all the time. Those two things killed the camp vibe for us.
Will not come back as there are other New Forest camp sites where you have fire pits and dogs can roam freely.
Please review the rules!
Perfect camping weekend
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Amazing camping site. Great facilities. Sometimes showers were a bit dirty but it was exceptionally dry and dusty this weekend.

Campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Great campsite, well located, had a lovely time.
Fab first stay in our campervan
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 We really enjoyed staying at this campsite it had everything we needed and as it was our first ever time out in our campervan we were happy that it met our expectations.
We loved the fact we could walk for miles in the forest and walk to Brockenhurst.
Having horses walking around the site really added to the atmosphere.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the site is very well organised.
Great first camping experience
Roof Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Great first experience camping.
Great place to stay
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Great place to stay, easy to find, great pitches to find and great walks.
Summer stay
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Superb site with great facilities and staff right in the heart of the forest … a great and peaceful stay in nature.
Lovely location
Single Axle Caravan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Lovely location. Excellent staff, really welcoming and helpful. Facilities were hit and miss due to issues with plumbing and getting a bit tired.
Ponies, deer and squirrels around. Very peaceful.
Nice and peaceful
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Very peaceful, nice people.
Great location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Great location. It's close to the main road which is a massive convenience but can be a bit noisy.
Close to the pubs in Brockenhurst. Lovely to be in the New Forest and ponies close by.
Friendly, helpful staff
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Friendly, helpful staff. Good location, really nicely kept, clean.
Nice pitches all be it one side is the better side with sun coming up and open forest to look over. The middle is a little congested but good pitches again. And the left side that we stayed on was more secluded and covered by trees. Only downside is the road is noisy day and night.
Unfortunately, second night was marred by some drunken boys/girls around 11:30pm. Felt for the people closer to them. Not sure how you'd report it, but shouting and swearing with kids about spoilt it a bit. Apart from that, it was chilled happy atmosphere.
Definitely go back and recommend.
There's a little shop that does some essentials that not really advertised. Milk, charcoal, snacks, ice cream etc.
Great campsite, family friendly and clean facilities
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 We had a lovely weekend with friends.
Quiet at night, lovely and clean facilities, great for children to play.
Flat areas for tents and lots of nooks for privacy. Tranquil area amongst the trees and horses. Definitely recommend.
Great site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Brilliant site, facilities were clean, staff were very friendly.
The location was lovely, we walked for miles, saw ponies and deer. It was a busy site but still felt like we had escaped into the forest.
Will def visit again.
Nice location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Nice grounds, nice shower block, clean.
1 night became 2!
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Came off ferry from France to drive home. Needed to stop as tired. Found campsite on line and booked easily. Thought oh just stay a night as seemed remote. Info was waiting for us (as after 8 and wardens finish shift). Easy to follow. My goodness it was an enormous forest and eventually picked a spot.
It was so beautiful!! Ponies wandering around the van and a view of trees and fields! We booked another night and walked to nearby village, Lovely! Dog enjoyed the walks and nearby river.
Facilities fab. Hot water, clean. We did our holiday washing. Staff were all amazing!
Will be back!!
Bit overpriced Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 The location of the campsite is perfect, great walks, lots of woodlands & wild animals, and a couple of towns which can be walked to. The staff were all really polite and helpful when I interacted with them, and were always smiling.
The campsite itself is one which lacks any real organisation. As a result of this, you can end up in a position (like we did) where you are spending a good 30 minutes stalking around a packed campsite looking for somewhere to pitch.
There is a 6m rule but this is not enforced so, if they are fully booked, the chance is that you will end up with someone closer than 6m. Sadly, we were next to a group of people who were playing music and literally having competitions to see who could fart/burp the loudest.
There is a 'quiet after 10pm' rule which, again, is not enforced. As a result, there were multiple large groups having what sounded like festivals until the early hours of the morning.
There are two toilet/shower blocks. They both have around 7 toilet and shower cubicles with a urinal in the middle. They are not regularly cleaned (from my experience) and the toilets do not flush properly which drastically increases your chances of being met by someone else's business and having to dispose of it yourself.
The showers I used were both lukewarm and one of them was so awkwardly placed I had to press up against the wall to wash my right hand side. They were all filthy with leaves, dirt, used pants and general grubbiness.
A lot of the issues here could be solved really easily by using an allocated pitch system where the campsite separates pitches into pre-designated spaces and then allocates spaces on booking. This would solve the issue with not respecting the 6m apart rule and would save visitors having to go on a mad scramble to get a spot. Having someone regularly inspect the toilets and showers. Having someone on site throughout the night and doing rounds on the campsite every hour or so to calm down those who are being noisy/disrespectful.
Fabulous
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 What a fabulous surprise Hollands Wood was.
In the heart of the New Forest but close to so many locations …
The campsite is in the trees ponies cows wander around. Amazing walks for the dog. Birds galore, can I say more.
Well I loved it. I think this will be a place I will return to for tranquillity.
Great site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 Great setting with (non-aggressive) animals roaming the site.
Check-in was efficient.
