About the site


An enviable vantage point gives Lepe Beach Campsite superb views of the Solent and a private entrance to Lepe Beach itself which is directly opposite to the IOW. The beach is safe for bathing when the tide isn't turning, exploring when the tide is out and is very popular with local fisherman looking for Bass. Generously sized, level and well kept grass pitches mean that you'll never feel crammed in, while the site's pre-erected ready tents are perfect for those who prefer not to pitch their own. Being one of the only campsites in the New Forest that actually allow campfires, the campsite offers something quite unique. The site offers paddle boarding, kayaking archery and bike hire for those who prefer an active holiday! Helpful onsite staff provide peace of mind and a wealth of local knowledge during your stay at Lepe Beach plus there are plenty of amenities in the local village of Blackfield. Unfortunately the site cannot accept dogs, caravans or motorhomes.

The site is open during May half term, weekends from 4th - 12th July, then from 18th July to 21st August..

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Toilets ruined for us. Not keen on the so called eco toilet. Which is a shame, otherwise we would have returned.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Brilliant stay. Loved the location and plenty of space between tents. Facilities were good. Just make sure you bring a mallet as the ground is hard.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Absolutely lovely. We had a nice time. Would be even better if there was a little park and sand pit on site for the kids to play in during the evenings and if we could pay for the gazebo at the end as we paid 15 pound for 3 nights but didn't end up putting the gazebo up as it was to windy so wasted the money.
