About Summers Camping by Pitching It
Situated between the New Forest National Park and the Jurassic Coast, this ten acre campsite is well located for days of exploring. You will find glorious beaches within a five minute drive, with the seaside attractions of Bournemouth just a 15 minute drive away too! There are 10m x 10m non electric grass pitches for tents, trailer tents, campervans and motorhomes. Up to six guests are permitted per pitch, with rural countryside views around the site. Eco-friendly facilities including compost loos are nearby. If you want to leave the tent pegs at home, opt for a stay in one of the colourful, unfurnished 5m bell tents. Each tent allows up to four guests, and you will still need to bring along all of your own camping gear, beds and bedding. There are also two pubs within a five minute walk! If you would rather cook up your own tea, raised BBQs are allowed onsite. Dogs are welcome here too, with up to two pups permitted per pitch.
