Hollands Wood Caravan and Campsite

Friendly New Forest campsite with simple facilities provided
Five minutes' drive from Lyndhurst; 15 minutes from Lymington
Access to woodland walking trails; half hour's walk to Brockenhurst

It can be tricky to escape the trappings of modern life these days… but Hollands Wood Caravan and Campsite is a place that allows guests to do just that. With 22 hectares of gorgeous oak woodland as a backdrop, this campsite in the New Forest National Park is a fabulous spot for stepping back and taking some deep breaths of fresh air. Stays here are on simple pitches woven through the treelines, among the ferns or out in slightly more open spots – take your pick depending on which one catches your eye. Whichever you pick, you should be treated to soothing views of green space, sounds of woodland and the chance to spot the New Forest’s famed wild ponies wandering freely. (Please note the natural terrain means that rock pegs are a good idea for successful tent pitching.) The friendly atmosphere at Hollands Wood lends itself well to many hours of chilling out in the woods – but the location’s also an excellent one for those who’d like to take off and explore more widely. From here you’ll have access to 143 miles of waymarked trails for walks or bike rides through the surrounding woodlands, or you could walk to Brockenhurst (home of several lovely places to eat and drink) in about half an hour. This is a place where guests are encouraged to embrace the natural setting in all its glory, but there are a few facilities provided to make life a little more comfortable – these include toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette. You’ll also be asked to follow the New Forest Code to help maintain this glorious environment, and use organic toilet fluid where possible in chemical loos.

Liked We loved this site, our third stay in the forest but first time here. Will definitely be back. Stunning quiet location with ponies all round. We walked 10km loop around via the Pig and Brockenhurst through beautiful nature. Nice pubs in Brockenhurst, and will definitely go back to the Pig.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great to camp in the forest rather than the usual regimented sites. Having the ponies and wildlife on your doorstep was brilliant.
No electric made it more of an escape.
Toilet and shower block was immaculate full credit to the guys on site.
Will certainly come back

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked I stayed from Tuesday to Friday, I liked that you pick your own spot and it feels like wild camping but you have the benefit of a well kept toilet and shower block, a launderette and lockers (free to use) where you can charge your phones/ipad, but take a padlock to secure the locker.
The weekday vibe during school time is idyllic, nice and quiet, the ponies come right up and graze around the pitches. The vibe changed a little on the Friday when families arrived, when you select your pitch there is only a six foot gap rule between pitches so you are relient on people applying camping etiquette or it can feel a little intrusive. It’s a shame there isn’t an adult only enclosure.
I note other reviews commented on road noise, but if you pick a pitch farthest from the road near to the field this isn’t a problem.
This is a great site, the staff are friendly and helpful, the village is an easy 20 minute walk away and there is direct access from the site to walking trails through the forest.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lush staff, great location. Perfect setting. Beautiful wild animals. Great level pitching in woodlands then big open field which catches the sunrise and sun set. No set pitching can set up where you wish just keeping space from others.

Disliked Only slight disadvantage is the toilet and shower space is small.
Although it gives a wild woodland setting maybe an outside/covered bar area would be nice with lights

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Freedom to pitch up where you wanted to within reason … but see dislikes too…
The site was flat and facilities were good with people all taking responsibility to keep everything neat and tidy.
Sunday night was great with real peace and quiet!!
Good late check in system after reception had closed.

Disliked Arrived about six on a Saturday evening and the whole site was very busy so very limited choice where to pitch ironically.

Liked How detailed the ranger was when we arrived, as it was our first time at this site. The facilities were top notch.

Disliked A group set up camp near us with multiple tents, they were quite noisy so we had to move. This isn’t the sites fault though as it’s explained at check in to keep space between camps.

Local attractions

Nearby Brockenhurst (half an hour’s walk/five minutes’ drive) is a good place to stroll to – the village has some lovely pubs, a bike hire facility for woodland cycle trails and the perennially popular Balmerlawn picnic spot for a riverside snack. Lyndhurst (five minutes’ drive) is another nice village to visit, with the New Forest Heritage Centre and bike tours available. Spotting animals is surely part of any New Forest break, and that’s guaranteed with trips to places like the New Forest Reptile Centre (10 minutes), Longdown Activity Farm (15 minutes) and New Forest Wildlife Park (15 minutes). The natural world is a huge draw around here – but so are the shiny cars of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (15 minutes). Once you’ve finished there, head back to the site via Lymington (15 minutes), which has boat trips, boat hire and the chance to cool off in a seawater swimming pool.
