About the site
Immerse yourself in nature with this scenic, back to basics campsite. Nestled in the northern part of the New Forest National Park, guests will be surrounded by ancient trees, along with free-roaming wildlife such as ponies, horses, donkeys, cows and more! There are a total of 207 pitches, with the option of both non electric grass and hardstanding. Each pitch measures a spacious 9m x 9m, welcoming tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans, RVs and motorhomes. Up to six guests are permitted per pitch, though they are unmarked and guests can find a spot to suit them as they are not allocated. There are plenty of spaces to shelter under the shade of the trees or be near to the facilities. There are also pitches available for seasonal use. Be sure to also bring the BBQ along to cook up a delicious feast, just please ensure it is either charcoal or gas and raised from the ground. Campfires, fire pits and disposable BBQs are not allowed. Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay, with up to three permitted per pitch. Please note, there are no showers onsite.

Our stay here was wonderful. Location loses one star due to the closeness to A31 and traffic noise, but we knew that before booking. The site is simple but friendly, clean and stunning. We can wholly recommend this site, especially for short stays.
Great one night stay

Staff were very welcoming. Others around the site were polite and respectful. We did notice a very large group of 20 somethings who were playing loud music for around 20 mins, but I think someone must have said something to them and they turned it down. Very lovely one night away.
Convenient and value for money
