About Hollands Wood Campsite

A peaceful site welcoming tents, caravans and motorhomes set amongst 22 hectares of oak woodlands and spacious green fields where guests can pitch up with the wild ponies roaming around the campsite. It is also just a 20 minute walk from Brockenhurst village and a 20 minute drive to the coast. There are 430 grass pitches without electric measuring 9m x 9m, you may pitch up anywhere you like too, whether that be under the trees or out in the open. The only rule is that you must pitch at least 6m away from other campers to keep pitches private. The site advises rock pegs are a good idea when pitching due to the natural terrain. There are also pitches available for seasonal use. There is also one bell tent sleeping two adults and two children with one double bed and two single sleeping mats. Equipped with LED lighting, a coal BBQ, a picnic bench and a cool box. Please bring your own bedding and cooking equipment. The site has picturesque views over the New Forest. Sit back and relax by your pitch as little ones make their own fun in the space around the tents, or have a splash in the nearby river to cool off on a hot summer day! Your four-legged friends will be kept happy, with a network of cycle paths and footpaths taking you into the forest, perfect for a family day out in the great outdoors! BBQs are allowed as long as they are specifically designed for cooking food, sorry no fire pits. BBQs must be raised from the ground and leave no damage on the forest floor. No disposable BBQs are permitted. Guests are asked to keep to the New Forest Code to help look after the area. Also, the site asks that you do not feed or approach any of the animals around the campsite as they may bite or kick, and to keep all food sealed and out of reach of the ponies. Please note, that the site is positioned close to the A337 so road noise can be heard on some pitches.

Hollands Wood Campsite is open from 22/03 to 29/09 in 2024 and from 16/04 to 29/09 in 2025.

Motorhome - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

We're just starting out in our new Motorhome. Booked two nights and now on our second day have booked two more nights and there's no rush to return home. This is a beautiful location and fairly quiet now that the school holidays are over. We haven't had a chance to explore yet but just love being in this quiet and peaceful rural environment.

Perfect stay

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

The perfect spot to camp for 2 days, under the trees with ponies wandering around. Other campers respectful and quiet after 9.30pm, plenty of facilities checked regularly. Plenty to do in the area. We'll be back.
