  • Peaceful Country Holidays with onsite Fishing
Lake Farm is on the western edge of the New Forest and borders the Dorset Downs. We are a quiet, family-run holiday venue catering for families and couples with unspoilt countryside surrounding the site. We are the perfect base for people who want to enjoy the beautiful New Forest. Our camping pitches are available during the summer months, when the fields surrounding the campsite have just been cut for hay, meaning you have 35 acres of room to kick a ball around! Our pitches are large and spacious with electric showers, portable loos and a washing-up area. We offer a good old-fashioned, basic camping experience where you can enjoy local footpaths and avoid the roads to the village pub. We can also freeze your packs for free: please just ask. Here at Lake Farm on the edge of The New Forest we believe in tranquility and your own space. With just 8 log cabins – some with hot tubs, and fishing included – situated in a private 45acre rural setting you are sure to find it here. On the edge of the New Forest we offer an undiscovered paradise where you can come and relax and recharge your batteries in our log cabins – catering for guests wishing to enjoy pleasure fishing in our fully-stocked carp lakes and those who want to spend time
