About the site


This is a family friendly camping and glamping experience in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of the New Forest with the beach just a 20 minute (one mile) walk away! For parents bringing their own tents, you'll set up camp in the South meadow. Generously sized, level and well-kept grass pitches mean that you'll never feel crammed in. If you prefer to have everything set up for you, opt for the pre-erected bell tents. These are 5m wide with an additional porch, complete with quality camp beds (bedding required), camping chairs, gas cooker and cooking equipment. All you need for your camping experience! Spend the morning crabbing at the estuary or have a fun day at Lepe Beach just a five minute drive away. You can also jump in the car for a short drive to all the attractions within the New Forest. There is truly no shortage of things to do here Helpful EazyCamp staff onsite to provide peace of mind and a wealth of local knowledge during your stay at Lepe Meadows. Fire pit hire and wood for sale on site (one of the only campsites in the New Forest that allows campfires!). Unfortunately, the site cannot accept dogs, caravans or motorhomes.

Bell Tent - Bell TentsAug 2024

Great location. Lovely, clean, large bell tent with everything you could need. Clean facilities and helpful staff. My only complaint is that they could provide lighting above the sinks for night time teeth brushing.

Lovely place
