VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 Top marks in all departments.
Particular mention goes to the reception and shop staff who operated to the standards of a five star hotel.
Rustic and what you imagine the forest to be like
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 Loving it so we've booked in for another week.. lovely to see the deer and donkeys.. I prefer the grass pitches, managed to get one hidden away 👍
Lovely stay.
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 We had a lovely stay, kids were happy. Beautiful area.
Only downfall would be when pitching a tent, it's ridiculously stony and a nightmare to get even the best tent pegs in the ground, so just be mindful of that when camping. Shop on site is super tiny so don't expect much from it.
Also, feel caravans should be made to stay in a caravan only area as a lot of them did take up the grass areas that should be for tents, making hard to find a pitch.
Excellent
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 One of the best campsites we have ever stayed at. Beautiful pitches and very clean facilities. Great that you can charge devices for free. It was also a great location for lots of walks and the ponies just make your stay even better.
First stay at Ocknell
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 First stay here. Fantastic welcome at check in. You pick your own pitch which was nice. Facilities were spotless. Good bins and labelling. Water and chemical points dotted around the site.
Good little shop selling essentials. It was a bank holiday weekend and busy but didn't feel that way. Definitely recommend.
Stunning place
Roof Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2025 Stumbled across this site the night before we booked. Upon arrival, staff were very friendly despite the poor chap getting wet. Plenty of spots to choose from and overall, very quiet. Loved the fact that there was horses wondering free around the site.
Definitely looking at booking again and coming back in the summer months to do some exploring.
Brilliant place to stay!
Roof Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2025 Really friendly upon arrival. Flexible pitches in some pretty spots. Good washing facilities. Beautiful walks right outside the campsite. Will defo be coming again.
Great place great facilities.
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2025 Great selection of plots. Site was almost full but we could find a place we liked.
Toilet and washing up facilities - fantastic. Clean and lots of hot water. Not sure if there are shower facilities anywhere? That would be great. Lots of bins around.
Good little shop. Very friendly staff - appreciated. Saw a lot of deer, donkeys and horses! What a treat. Location great for Ringwood, Bournemouth, Southampton, Lyndhurst. But also, the old runways. Wonderful.
Value for money - excellent.
Lovely place
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2025 Perfectly basic campsite! Full mixture of pitches and basic clean facilities, exactly what we expected.
Lovely location
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024 Our stay here was wonderful. Location loses one star due to the closeness to A31 and traffic noise, but we knew that before booking.
The site is simple but friendly, clean and stunning. We can wholly recommend this site, especially for short stays.
Great one night stay
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Staff were very welcoming. Others around the site were polite and respectful.
We did notice a very large group of 20 somethings who were playing loud music for around 20 mins, but I think someone must have said something to them and they turned it down. Very lovely one night away.
Convenient and value for money
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Stayed for 1 night. Good location, not too busy and good facilities.
Lovely short stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Was a lovely stay, nice and remote - but also full of life with the local animals and wildlife! Would 100% recommend to others!
Camping over bank holiday
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Really lovely site, friendly and helpful staff.
Great place to stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Friendly staff, good location, dog friendly.
Friendly and welcoming
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Stayed for 2 nights with our 3 children. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Perfect for the wildlife lovers
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 The campsite itself was enough for what we needed, although couldn't find a drinking tap? Basic facilities but we are used to camping with little to nothing anyway so it was nice to have the basics.
We struggled with the location of tent camping, hoped for some sunshine but had trees around us, that was a minimal problem.
Great arrival, friendly staff - can't fault them whatsoever.
The only thing we struggled with was a big group of families that played loud music and cooked beyond the time stated, screaming kids gone 11pm. The second night, they had their own karaoke and left their engines on with lights beaming onto our tents. We took it upon ourselves to ask to turn the car lights off. We did try and call the campsite on the first night but couldn't get through.
All in all, we still had a lovely stay in the wilderness with our young kids!
Our visit
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2024 Everything about this site is lovely, including the staff.
My only criticism is that they could do with managing how people park. Having no allocated pitches is fine, but there is a lot of wasted space because visitors park ridiculously, taking up a lot more space than they need. As a result, it was not busy mind, we struggled to find a place.
Otherwise, brilliant.
Brilliant stay, would definitely return
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Had a lovely weekend here. Great pitches (pick your own), great areas and plenty of choices for tents, campervans and caravans. Toilet area clean and all you need for your trip, set in a lovely location with wild horses, donkies, cows, and deer able to go anywhere they like. Overall, was all I was looking for for a peaceful weekend and will definitely return.
Really enjoyed our stay
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Stayed for one night. We really enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff, lovely views and walks, clean facilities, we will definitely be coming back again.
Lovely, quiet site Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2024 Lovely, friendly and helpful staff.
Excellent for a few nights
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 No showers or electricity but a pleasant parking surrounded by nature and gentle stuff. Great for one or a few nights but, if you're not autonomous with power and shower not much more than that. Even more if you're travelling with a baby. To me it's 5 stars.
Lovely campsite with woodland for kids to explore
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Lovely basic campsite with areas of woodland for kids to explore and wild ponies roaming around in the heart of the New Forest - lovely spot to stay!
Our stay
Large A-class or Tag Axle Motorhome - Non Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2024 Beautiful site in a beautiful part of the country. We live in our motorhome and therefore have extensive experience of sites throughout the UK.
Obviously no good for those who rely on electric hook up, but for those who can survive off grid, this is a nature and wildlife haven.
Staff are friendly and helpful. No showers but toilet block and washing up area are clean and well maintained. Only criticism is that the roadways and hardstanding bays need attention to erosion and potholes.
Otherwise an amazing site to which we will definitely return.
Happy camper Excellent camp site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Apr 2024 Absolutely beautiful part of the forest. Beautiful to weak up 6 donkeys surrounding near our spot.
Totally relaxed, lovely walks. Excellent prices.
The toilets were very clean and the staff were very helpful and polite.
Will definitely will return.
