About the site
Based on an old World War II Airfield, the site is steeped in fascinating history. Located on the edge of the New Forest National Park, you will also have the opportunity to spot ponies, deer and other wildlife onsite! There are a total of 420 pitches with both 9m x 9m non electric grass or hardstanding pitches available, along with XL 10.5m x 7.25 grass pitches. For those requiring a 16 amp electric hook up, pick between the 9m x 9m electric grass or hardstanding pitches. For those wanting to enjoy some shaded al fresco dining, there are also 14 select electric grass pitches. These come with your own picnic bench and umbrella, the perfect spot for a picnic or your morning coffee! All of the grass pitches welcome both tents and tourers, whilst the hardstanding pitches allow just caravans, campervans, RVs and motorhomes. Up to six people are permitted per pitch, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some peace and quiet. There are also pitches available for seasonal use. With its children's play park, the site is ideal for families of all ages - from those with young children looking for safe cycling routes to those looking for adventure with longer hikes and mountain biking. If you want to cook up a treat, you are welcome to bring along both charcoal and gas BBQs, just please ensure they are raised from the ground at all times. Disposable BBQs and fire pits are prohibited. Dogs are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to three permitted per pitch.

We had a wonderful stay at Homesley. Staff were very friendly. The site was huge. Plenty of space for caravan & awning plus car. The facilities were clean every day. The walks just outside the site were absolutely stunning. New Forest ponies everywhere. The site was a good location for woodland walks and beach visits. We would 100% recommend this site and will also would book again.

Loved the site, although it would be nice to have an adult only section. We do have our own children but still be nice not having kids cycle through your little bit of space! We will definitely be back in school term time. Your post code on a sat nav took us a mile away from the site. C can that be sorted?
Great, quiet and well looked after site.
