  • Small and friendly family-run site in the New Forest National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to New Forest Water Park; half an hour to the coast
  • Barbecues, wood and fuel sold on site and a pub just down the road
Whether it’s glades, moors or clifftops you've got your sights set on, walking and cycling are quite the treat in the New Forest National Park… and handily, Tom’s Field is a friendly place to start your engine, with New Forest Water Park 10 minutes’ drive away and beaches half an hour away in case you fancy a plunge down into the seaside. This is a small, family-run site, open on weekends and bank holidays only, with the family around the site most of the time so that you can count on a helping hand if you need it. The local community shop visits the site each morning to bring fresh bread and basic groceries and the site also sells wood and barbecue fuel (and hires out barbecues or fire buckets). Of course, you’ll be able to grab any extras you need from the wide range of shops in Fordingbridge, 10 minutes’ drive away. There’s wild swimming in the river Avon here, by the way, so you might want to wear your swimming gear. You won’t have to go off site to treat yourself to some forest scenery either, as the site looks over the woodlands and has access to an open heath and forest land where there are New Forest ponies and cows roaming around. If you’re searching for somewhere to be waited on, the site’s local pub is only 15 minutes’ walk away down the road. There are three more that you can get to with a little longer hike, between 45 minutes’ and an hour’s walk away.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its clean, well-maintained facilities, including spotless toilets and hot showers. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful staff, generous pitch sizes, and excellent New Forest location with beautiful views and easy access to walks. The site offers convenient amenities like phone charging and a freezer, and the occasional visits from a pizza truck and ice cream van are popular additions. While a few minor points mention road noise and the need for strong tent pegs, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many reviewers expressing a desire to return.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Had a lovely weekend with my daughter in Tom's field. It is a very clean, quiet and relaxed campsite. The showers and toilets were very clean, and kept that way by frequent cleans throughout the day. You can charge your phone and use a freezer at reception which was very handy. We hired a firepit for the weekend which was dropped off and collected from our pitch. They have a pizza truck that visited on Saturday night, very good pizza! Short walk from a pub. You can walk all around the area, we did a bit but found the campsite so relaxing we spent a lot of time chilling and reading. Would return, would reccomend

Safari tent

Liked Tent. Location. Toilets & showers. Fire pit.

Disliked Distance to toilets and showers. They are at one end of the camp. Our tent was the other. Was expecting power in the tent and add could be interpreted as such. Needs to be clearer.
