Please check with businesses if/when they are taking bookings for future stays. Please note the UK Government are advising people to avoid travelling unless it is essential. Please see our webpage for further information about COVID-19.

If you love the relaxing and idyllic feeling of being outdoors or close to nature then what better way than to get close to our wonderful wildlife and our beautiful scenery than a camping or caravanning in the New Forest? Camping provides opportunities to explore new places, experience nature and learn something new.

The New Forest is a great destination for anyone who enjoys the laidback feeling of the great outdoors and with ample footpaths, family-friendly activities, fascinating wildlife and nature and some amazing off-road cycleways, it’s easy to see why many people choose to have a holiday here.

Camping is the perfect break for families, and they are more than welcome here in the New Forest, with many of our campsites being geared up for younger visitors with fantastic playparks and other activities.

Camping and caravanning are also a great way to stay for couples and single travellers too! Whether you’re looking for an active break in the forest or some time to relaxed and rejuvenate, camping is a fantastic choice of accommodation for everyone.

There are over fifteen different campsites in The New Forest where you can stay. Whether you are looking for an intimate campsite with a secluded woodland setting or a campsite with all the modern conveniences, there is an excellent variety on offer here.

Camping in the Forest manages ten of the campsites within the New Forest including sites in Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst and Cadnam (to name just a few). All of these sites have Green Tourism Silver Awards for their environmental credentials from the back-to-basics site at Aldridge Hill through to Roundhill Campsite with open grassy areas, ideal for children to play on. Some of the more basic sites offer fantastic opportunities to get close to nature.

All of our campsites have easy access into the open forest, where you can expect beautiful walks through our gladed woodlands, off-road cycling and close proximity some fantastic days out for all the family. At Green Hill Farm, if fishing is on your holiday list, they have two on-site fishing lakes. This particular campsite is also open all year around.

Some of our smaller campsites include Red Shoot Camping Park, which is in the perfect location for walking! Red Shoot have their own local shop and a lovely pub just a couple of steps away. Another one of our smaller campsites is Harrow Wood Farm Caravan Park. Located on the outskirts of a quiet village called Bransgore, where you can find some lovely pubs and local shops.

Another ideally located campsite is Long Meadow Campsite, which is surrounded by acres of forest, but still with quick enough access to Brockenhurst. Long Meadow offer spacious hardstanding and pitches, with or without electric.

As well as wonderful glamping pods, Back of Beyond Touring Park is a beautiful 30 acre haven, with lakes, woodland and heathland, it makes for a great place to unwind and listen to the sounds of nature.

One of Shorefield Holiday’s sites also welcome touring and camping, Lytton Lawn. If you’re looking for a coastal camping trip then this is the perfect place for you, being located near to their holiday park, Shorefield Country Park, in Milford on Sea.

For those summer camping trips, Chapelfield Camping are open from Wednesday 5th August to Tuesday 1st September, a relaxed and much loved campsite, where holidays have been enjoyed for over 10 years. And in 2020 they are also excitingly extending their facilities and giving you the opportunity to go glamping!

You can also expect to see some beautiful displays of stars at night with many of our campsites being in secluded spots that are away from light pollution. You may even have the odd New Forest pony or other animals roaming close by to where you are sleeping!

Did you know that some of our campsites are also dog friendly, so the whole family can come and enjoy a camping trip to the New Forest.

Top tips for camping in the New Forest

The New Forest National Park is a wonderful place to visit and you can help it stay that way by being a Forest friendly visitor.

For their safety and your own please keep your distance from the animals - although owned and cared for by local people called commoners, they are unpredictable and best treated as wild.

To reduce the risk of damaging wildfires, campfires are not allowed without the landowner’s permission. Disposable BBQs are welcome at Bolderwood, Blackwater and Wilverley where stands and water are available. Raised non-disposable BBQs are allowed on the hard-standing areas of car parks, providing water is available. Please check with individual camping sites as to their policies on BBQs.
