Fernwood Glamping is situated in the picturesque New Forest National Park, an ideal location for a glamping adventure. Pick between a beautifully furnished gypsy caravan and a rustic shepherd's hut. Snuggled into a woodland area or overlooking the field where deer and rabbits are frequently seen, it is hard to believe you are only minutes from the friendly market town of Ringwood. Easy access to the A31 will take you to beaches, Poole, and more!

We stayed in the gypsy wagon for our anniversary. We had a brilliant time, we cooked jacket potatoes on the fire and watched the bats of an evening. There were wild deer roaming and grazing. Wonderful experience. Just be aware the wagon moves, so if you get motion sickness, stay in the hut. We had breakfast delivered both mornings, which was absolutely delicious. Fantastic chip shop nearby and lots of little towns and villages dotted around. Wild horses, cows and donkeys roam around the New Forest. Wonderful experience. Would 100% recommend.

I am so pleased you both enjoyed your stay at Fernwood for your anniversary weekend, Les. We are very lucky having some local takeaway options at the bottom of the hill, as our guests sometimes don't want to go back out again in the evening. The gypsy van has been built on a 1920/1930s dray base with some natural movement (a bit like having suspension on your bike!) so it is far better to stay in our shepherds hut if you have any difficulties with mobility, climbing stairs (no handrail) or vertigo. Thank you for writing us a wonderful review!

Rachel is a lovely host, the shepherd's hut is a wonderful retreat only 25 minutes from beautiful beaches. The garden setting is both spacious yet private. Highly recommend.

Thank you very much for writing us a lovely review Gary. I enjoyed meeting both of you and pleased that you had such a good stay. We are very lucky being near both The New Forest and some beautiful beaches (Southbourne is my favourite too and it's great sitting at the top of Sobo's to watch the sunset or just people watch!). Hope to see you again soon, Rachel.
Beautiful place, amazing hut - 100% perfect

Our visit was a few days in early April, with varied weather and a 5 year old. Luckily the Fernwood site is in a fantastic location, both for local shops and food options, and with the forest and outdoor activities. We easily filled our days by keeping busy, aided by the guidebook provided. Plus we had the options to light fires, use the summer house and plenty of blankets to keep warm. Strongly recommend it if you're looking for an easy camping experience with some nice luxuries.

Fabulous stay!

We had 2 nights in the magical gypsy caravan and it was lovely. The location was peaceful and perfect for a little escape while still having access to all the wonders of the new forest. Rachel provided us with wonderful treats and everything we could ask for to make our little camp run smoothly. Access to the summer house also meant I had somewhere to rest and read in the evening while the kids enjoyed hunkering down in the caravan watching movies on their tablets. I personally enjoyed all the lovely little thoughtful books in the summer house, while the kids were enchanted by the garden and the swing. Sleeping in the caravan was cosy and comfortable. We were very sad to leave.

Thank you Suzie for writing such a fabulous review for us. It was lovely to meet you and your two girls. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the space in the summer house as well as the cosy Gypsy Van. It was great to hear you had a good morning at The New Forest Water Park just down the road. We would love to see you all again.

I stayed there in my own and felt completely safe. The gypsy caravan was very cosy and the bed was very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. A great place to relax and escape reality. The area is good for walking.

Rachel (host) was so welcoming and thoughtful. The gypsy caravan was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed (including electric heater, which was a lot easier to manage with our young boys than the log burner). Everything had been thought of including marshmallows to toast, hot chocolate, tea, biscuits and even crocs for quick trips to the eco loo! Rachel's garden was perfect for two energetic little boys and she had endless patience with them playing hide and seek and chasing her automatic lawn mower. She also had great recommendations for walks and things to do in the New Forest - we absolutely loved Moors Valley Country park! The summer house was an amazing addition and allowed us to have some time in the evening to relax once the kids were tucked up in bed. The breakfast hamper with freshly baked cakes was delicious. We loved it, thank you!

Thank you so much for writing such a detailed review. Having the summer house is great for parents with younger children. It’s so lovely knowing that you had such a great time, especially as on this visit the weather was more challenging! Your boys did have fun in the garden running around. It’s great for us to see it being used like this again! Hopefully we will see you all again! Rachel
Fabulous fire pit and great location!

Spent 2 nights in this lovely shepherd's hut in the New Forest. The host was very welcoming and informative. And the hut was clean and comfortable. The facilities were as described and also clean. Spent a lovely evening sat by the fire pit. Lovely garden - spotted some deer in the adjacent field one evening. Lots to do in the area and plenty of amenities nearby (Tesco Express, pubs). Would definitely go back!

Thank you Simon for your lovely review. We are pleased you were able to enjoy an evening by the fire pit and also that you saw the deer. You are welcome back any time!

We had the most wonderful stay at fernwood last August. We had use of both the gypsy caravan and the shepherds hut which meant we had the whole place to ourselves. Both were incredibly comfortable and beautifully presented. We spent many hours chatting in the summer house or on the deck drinking fizz as well as lovely long walks in the nearby New Forest. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast hamper was extremely well-stocked and scrumptious! Can't recommend this peaceful, beautiful place highly enough.

Thank you Lorraine for taking the time to write a review for us. We are glad you had such a good time with your friends here. The summer house is always a great place to meet up when you book both units.

Fernwood Glamping is a beautiful place, secure and welcoming. The site is private with a Shepherd's Hut and Gypsy Caravan in a lovely garden overlooking fields. This meant on both occasions we stayed there, we had the place to ourselves. We were able to be there as two couples. (We took our grown up children and their partner/friend). We loved being able to use the summer house, chiminea and firepit in the evenings. The summer house offers shelter if it rains and overlooks a beautiful pond with lots of wildlife. The decking and gardens are brilliant for stargazing and enjoying no light pollution. Nothing is too much trouble for Rachel and Jonathan. We really appreciated the special touches and attention to detail, including our vegan breakfast hamper. We were grateful too for their pointers to places we wouldn't have thought of visiting that really fit our preferences. This was our third visit - we warmly recommend Fernwood Glamping.
