Clear filters Lovely campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Perfect for what we needed. Good washing and toilet facilities, hot clean showers. Lots of space. Family friendly. Horses meandering. Great bike rides through the forest straight from the campsite. We biked to Beaulieu and Bayleys Hard and back. Lovely 🙏
Amazing time by a magical wood
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 We all had a great time! Near a village with everything you need, up and out each morning with the bikes to explore. Facilities were good, clean and well manned.
Great stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Really friendly and supportive team who helped us enjoy our first trip camping as a family of four with two little ones.
Ideal
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 We just loved this site bordering onto open fields with New Forest ponies roaming. Fairly short walk from centre of Brockenhurst with many pubs/ restaurants (Enzo pizzeria by the station; Dynasty Indian curry house two we used).
We camped with the dog and once we had parked up we didn't use the car again until we left - walked everywhere and there is a lot to walk and see. Really friendly site with good showers and clean toilet facilities. A shop on site with a few essentials would have been useful but you can get anything in Brockenhurst.
Fantastic campsite Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 A superb campsite. Great location and facilities. Lovely people too. 👍🏽
Great for New Forest exploring
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024 The setting is beautiful with views across the forest and land with lots of ponies and cows who happily wander round the campsite.
It is summer holidays and so we were expecting it to be busy and it was. We unfortunately couldn't get there until 6pm on the Friday and so didn't get a choice of pitches which meant we ended up under a very bright security light, which was a shame. Also, right next to a very busy and noisy road (even through the night). So would recommend you get there early to get a good pitch.
Otherwise, was a lovely site with really helpful staff, clean and plentiful facilities and easy access to lovely walks and 15 mins to 3 local pubs.
Hollands wood
Single Axle Caravan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 A lovely site in the open new forest
Great location!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Great location. Friendly staff. A bit noisy at night.
Super spot, good friendly site
Single Axle Caravan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Loved this site, friendly staff. Will return.
Very good site
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Well-kept site, good for getting back to nature, clean toilet block and good showers. Pleasant staff and good location to the nearest town.
Great place as a solo first time camper
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 Great venue. Was greeted well when I arrived as a first time solo camper. Thank you for this.
Lovely place
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 We had an amazing stay at Hollands Wood, we had a brilliant time away.
Lovely, big site and like the idea of finding your own pitch. Only downside was how busy it got as we were leaving, it was too crowded in our opinion. Lastly, it is close to the main road, so traffic is heard quiet a lot.
However, this aside, we will definitely be going back as we had a brilliant holiday and it was good value for money.
Beautiful night stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024 We stayed here for one night and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
Welcoming staff who were clear with site regulations.
Site was lovely and facilities were extremely clean.
Location was nice and quiet and only a 20 minute walk from Brockenhurst town centre, where we enjoyed a lovely meal in The Snakecatcher and a drink in the Foresters Arms.
Would definitely stay here again and have already recommended to friends and family.
Weekend away
Single Axle Caravan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Fantastic, clean site in the forest. Loved being amongst the trees with the wild ponies wandering around. Will definitely return.
Fantastic campsite in beautiful location
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 We stayed 2 nights with our VW Camper.
The location is amazing set amongst beautiful trees right on the edge of the forest in a very natural setting. Hollands Wood is a large site with many spots to pitch. Nice clean showers with hot water, loos were clean and well kept and pot wash areas has super hot and plenty of space, none of the facilities ever seemed to be crowded despite a busy weekend at the site. New Forest wild ponies and cows wander through the site and that makes this place is quite unique.
Even though it was busy, lots of families and small groups, the atmosphere was chilled and relaxed. Kids were all having a great time, the site backs onto Balmer Lawns which is a huge open space to walk and play, plenty of great dog walking too. The pitches were quiet, felt enclosed and had plenty of space. There are some lovely forest hikes accessed directly from the site, Brokenhurst just 15mins walk and Lyndhurst 10min drive.
Overall a beautiful site, we'll be back for sure. This is definitely one of our favourite sites. Thank you.
Weekend camping visit
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Great campsite located within the trees of the forest. Walking distance from Brockenhurst.
Beautiful site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 After a long and hot drive we had to queue and wait whilst each driver was explained the very thorough rules of the site. I thought that this was a bit of overkill and could be done away with, as you are given a sheet of all of the do's and don'ts, there are many signs explaining the do's and don'ts around the site and the staff that regularly patrol the site remind you of the do's and don'ts also. Even after this, there were still some fools that fed the ponies, stroked the ponies, let their dogs off their leads around the site, parked too close to others and had wood fires. There is no cure for silly!
Despite all of this, we had a wonderful time and the site is very clean and well kept. One of the toilet blocks had to close on our last day as they did not have enough staff to maintain it, slightly annoying as it was the closest to us! Not a big deal though.
There are many great walks directly from the site and most was gravelled providing easy access for wheeled vehicles and buggies.
We would stay again and recommend to others for sure.
Good site
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Nice site and close enough to walk into Brockenhurst. Only rule for pitching tents is to be 6m away from next tent/van/caravan, some people do not stick to this rule and that would be my only complaint.
We love it here!
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 We always have an amazing stay here. Such a great location, plenty of space and great clean facilities.
We had an issue with a very loud and late group, but the staff handled it the best they could and did all they could for us!
Weekend stay
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Beautiful stay for 3 nights, a bit of a soggy start but the forested campsite certainly lifted our spirits. Facilities are everything you need and there is plenty of space between pitches.
Beautiful site amazing views
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Amazing little site with fantastic views, free roaming horses and an abundance of wildlife. Great staff members who were full of helpful knowledge, highly recommended.
Great site
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2024 Just loved being in the woods. Great toilets etc.
Excellent site, well appointed with very good facilities.
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 This is a great site and well appointed. Ideal for families and young children with plenty of cycle / walking routes.
We found the facilities sufficient and generally clean considering the numbers on site. Would certainly recommend and will be visiting again soon.
Our stay
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 Friendly quiet campsite. Will definitely be back.
Wonderful peaceful site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2024 We visited this site many years ago with a tent and our young family so we were aware of the location. Wonderful site within 20 minutes walk of Brockenhurst village centre with two pubs serving good beer and satisfactory food. There are no electrical hook-ups and again we were aware of this and you are able to park up where you please subject to the normal minimum 6m distance from adjacent units. Reasonably busy during the weekend with some areas of the site not accessible because of soft ground but weekdays were very quiet. Great cycling on marked trails in the forest nearby. We will happily visit again. No facilities on site for children - for us this was a plus point but the few young children who were there seemed very content to ride around on their bikes.
