What customers say
This New Forest campsite offers a beautiful woodland setting with plenty of space and the opportunity to choose your own pitch. Visitors praise the clean facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and the chance to see ponies and other wildlife roaming freely. The location is ideal for walking and cycling, with easy access to Brockenhurst. Some minor issues noted include road noise, occasional overcrowding during peak times, and dated showers. Despite these points, most guests highly recommend the site and plan to return.

Good site ruined by too many rules and a grumpy jobsworth
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Location great - easy access to forest direct from site, facilities good and lovely local area.
Disliked Grumpy jobsworth rule enforcer running the place, no washing lines (not even strung between tent and car), no bikes leaning on trees, etc - the list goes on. Pitch included pup tent but was told I couldn't use it cos they are for kids only, couldn't pay for another pitch even though there was loads of space next to our van (cos they need to be 6m apart) and there no designated pitches. Was told I could use it as a storage tent next to the van, but nobody could sleep in it. Daft. Site would also be a mudbath in wet weather, fortunately we've had a long dry spell.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Location, customer service, cleanliness
Disliked Not disliked, but could do with more charging towers for those with battered old cars that rely on sat nav on the phone 😂

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic location within the new forest- lots to do - close to local villages to visit, east and walk around. The camp site has fantastic toilet and showering amenities which are thoroughly cleaned throughout the day. We will definitely be returning, thank you.

Absolutely Fantastic.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked This is a very easy accessible. The staff are amazing it is a site with plenty of shade if that is what you prefer. Dog friendly with plenty of beautiful walks. A very relaxing site, but it was so nice to see families having fun. Staff always on hand and facilities are extremely clean.

Excellent site in the middle of the forest
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked This is a beautiful site in the midst of the New Forest and you are literally surrounded by nature. The ponies amble past in the early morning and cows came by in the evening. It’s great to be able to choose your own pitch but despite the informality everything was very well run. Showers and toilets clean and plentiful for the large site. Great for cycling and walking or just sitting around under the trees.
We would return.

My favourite campsite in the New Forest!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I’ve always loved Hollands Wood. I’ve been coming here for over 30 years, and it’s still my favourite campsite. Great location (right by Brockenhurst and by a river for my children to play in), great facilities, loads of space (even when fully booked, it wasn’t a squeeze!), and very friendly staff. The new coffee/ice cream shop is a great addition!
Disliked The ground can be a bit tough to break through with normal pegs (worth buying rock breakers). Obviously this isn’t the fault of the campsite, and certainly wouldn’t put me off returning.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The clear entrance and friendliness of staff
The experience of camping in woods with ponies walking through
Toilets and showers were immaculate considering the foot traffic
Disliked The neighbour playing his football commentary loudly from his car took away some of the tranquility of the peace
But that’s people for you as the campsite was wonderful

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A great campsite. We would definitely stay again, we brought our campervan and met up with family staying close by in a tent. It is a great place for children they loved making dens and climbing trees.

Great stay, we’ll definitely be back.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked It was a lovely country feel with clean and practical services, staff are really friendly and engaging. It was fantastic to be able to camp between the trees with the horses and cattle roaming free. Just be aware make sure you put your food away as there is one naughty horse that loved nothing more than try to nick my doughnuts.
Disliked The only thing that put a dent on our stay that there were a few people that didn’t understand or respect the curfew time of 10 pm.

excellent and will recommend
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff and well organised and a very nice tranquil setting. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was very pleasant experience. Facilities were over all good and pitches were flat and lots of variety.
Disliked other campers hogged the lockers for device charging so either more needed or needs policing. I managed but only just
