About the site
If you're on the hunt for a fun-filled but relaxing family getaway in the New Forest, this could be the perfect spot. Combining picturesque surroundings with exciting outdoor adventures, you are sure to have a stay you won't forget. Tents and tourers are welcome across the spacious site with a range of pitches allowing up to six guests each. Tent campers can pick between the 8m x 8m non electric (pet friendly) and 7m x 9m electric pitches set in the shaded woodland area, ideal for sheltering from the sun. If you would rather be by the lakeside, there are also both 8m x 9m non electric and electric grass pitches available, each suitable for tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Tourers also have the option of 8m x 9m hardstanding and grass pitches (dog friendly), each with a 16 amp hook up. In addition to tents, caravans and campervans, there is a selection of lodges nestled into the woodland landscape. Lodges sleep from 6-14 people and come fully equipped for a comfortable stay. If you want to enjoy a night in the outdoors, bring along your BBQ, just ensure it is raised from the ground. There are also communal fire pits available to hire across the site, with fire wood and coal available to purchase. Well-behaved dogs are also welcome in the pet friendly areas.
