  • 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.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Considering how busy it was (we went 8th-10th August) it was busy, but noise level was quiet and all seemed to respect the quiet times.

Disliked Having only one disabled toilet/shower unit per block, seems crazy for the size of the site. Normal showers were dirty and not pleasant finding what looked like a head of hair all over the floor. Wasn’t just on one occasion, maybe they should be cleaned and checked more often.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful, clean camp site. Average facilities. Toilet and shower block clean and checked regularly. Plenty of cubicals for showing. Washing up area good size. With laundry room if needed for a small cost. Also a dog shower area. Fresh clean drinking water accessible all,over the camp site. Best of all the scenery is out of this would. Staff are friendly and happy to help from asking for directions or requiring a pump for the beds.

Disliked Maybe a bigger shop. But there are,shops not even a 10min drive

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Place is beautiful and the pitches are really flat. Lovely to see the horses roaming around. The facilities were not too busy even though it is the summer holidays.

Disliked Some dogs were not kept on leads and subsequently there was dog poo on site that hadn’t been picked up.

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.
