About the site
Situated on the edge of Ashurst and dotted with ancient oaks, this family friendly campsite offers a true forest experience. Surrounded by the scenic trails and wildlife of the New Forest, yet just 15 minutes from Southampton and attractions like Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World, you truly get the best of both worlds. The site boasts 210 standard non electric pitches, ranging from open spaces to peaceful secluded spots amongst the trees. Each pitch measures 9m x 9m for up to six guests, with the option of grass pitches for tents and tourers, along with hardstanding just for tourers. There are also pitches available for seasonal use. If you want to leave the tent pegs at home, opt for the cosy bell tents that sleeps up to two adults and two children. Inside you will find a double bed, two single beds, LED lighting, flooring, a cool box, cutlery and crockery. Outside will be a picnic bench, along with a coal BBQ and utensils for cooking up a delicious dinner. Please note, bedding and cook equipment are not provided. Campers are also welcome to bring along their own BBQ, as long as it is raised from the ground and either gas or charcoal. Fire pits and disposable BBQs are prohibited. The site is dog free to protect nesting ground birds. Please note, the campsite is located just off the A35 so guests pitching near the road may experience a little noise.

A great place to stay amongst the trees, ponies and cows. Lovely places to walk, also walkable to local pubs, close to the New Forest Wildlife Park. Great facilities and nice and clean. Hard standing was perfect and we could pick our own place amongst the trees. Only small issue with that is you need to leave something to reserve your pitch if going out for the day, our pitch had gone when we returned. Not a problem when the site is quiet as plenty of space elsewhere and we should have left something to be fair. Not sure what amongst the ponies, cows and rain! Will definitely return!
First time weekend camping with my daughter

Wonderful atmosphere in a perfect, spacious setting. From the very beginning, reception and staff were pleasant and helpful. The location was great and the park had everything we needed, even a phone charging station. I had some car trouble, and they even came to help get me started and wouldn't accept any cash or donations.
Loved Ashurst as a family holiday

We loved staying at Ashurst campsite because it was in the heart of everything. Shops, woodlands and bike paths. We especially loved the staff, they were really nice and easy to approach. We especially enjoyed the fact that there was a bike shed that was locked overnight so all our bikes were safe. We will definitely be back next year.
