About the site


Immerse yourself in nature with this scenic, back to basics campsite. Nestled in the northern part of the New Forest National Park, guests will be surrounded by ancient trees, along with free-roaming wildlife such as ponies, horses, donkeys, cows and more! There are a total of 207 pitches, with the option of both non electric grass and hardstanding. Each pitch measures a spacious 9m x 9m, welcoming tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans, RVs and motorhomes. Up to six guests are permitted per pitch, though they are unmarked and guests can find a spot to suit them as they are not allocated. There are plenty of spaces to shelter under the shade of the trees or be near to the facilities. There are also pitches available for seasonal use. Be sure to also bring the BBQ along to cook up a delicious feast, just please ensure it is either charcoal or gas and raised from the ground. Campfires, fire pits and disposable BBQs are not allowed. Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay, with up to three permitted per pitch. Please note, there are no showers onsite.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 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 southamoton lyndhurst eyc. But also the old runways. Wonderful. Value for money - excellent.

Lovely place
