About the site
An ideal base for exploring, this family friendly park is within a short 15 minute drive of the New Forest and 20 minutes to Bournemouth and sandy beaches. If you want to unwind onsite, you can take a dip in the covered swimming pool and hot tub, with a handy bar for fun-filled evenings too. Tent campers can choose between the grassed area and sheltered woodland pitches. The woodland pitches measure 5m x 7m pitches, whilst the non electric grass pitches are 4m x 8m, and the 16 amp electric grass pitches are 5m x 8m. Cars are not allowed in the camping area, but you'll be able to use the camping trolleys provided to help you get the contents of your boot down to your pitch easily. Please note, campervans and motorhomes are not permitted. If you want to upgrade your stay, there are spacious 5m Airdome ready tents. Sleeping up to four, the tents come with a king size bed and two single futon/Thai lounger beds (bedding and towels are not included). Inside, you will also have lights, a kettle and a kitchen pack, with access to a shared central fire pit/BBQ. For even more luxury, there is a range of safari tents. All include bedding, towels, electric and an outdoor veranda with furniture. For cooking, there is a kettle, crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. The Classic range of safari tents includes Oak with a king sized bed, along with Ash, Cherry and Beech with two king size bedrooms. Cherry includes a private toilet, whilst the rest have access to shared facilities nearby. These tents also have a fridge, electric blankets, and a gas stove. The Luxury range of safari tents feature a full ensuite bathroom with a toilet and shower, plus underfloor heating, a fitted kitchen, fridge/freezer and a wood burning stove. Lime and Rowan have a king size bed and a set of bunk beds, whilst Maple has an additional single bed to sleep five. All pitches and glamping tents allow up to one dog to join you for your stay. In the evenings, guests can cook up a BBQ or toast marshmallows over the fire pit, just please ensure these are raised from the ground. Bags of logs and marshmallows can be picked up from the shop, with a communal pizza oven and fire pits dotted around the site too.
