General
- Hampshire family campsite near Sway in the New Forest National Park
- Half an hour to Peppa Pig World; 20 minutes to National Motor Museum
- Simple woodland pitches with access to marked walking trails
Sitting amid tall trees and dense greenery, Setthorns Campsite is pretty much completely hidden in the New Forest National Park. This Hampshire site isn't far from New Milton, but the pitches are so well concealed that it’s hard to know where the site ends and the forest begins.
Winding paths and trails loop through the woodland, branching off in all directions to spacious pitches. And with trees all around, it’s easy to take off on foot or by bike for your next adventure along way-marked woodland routes, or follow the disused railway line just minutes from the site.
Pitching a tent at Setthorns also puts you in pole position to spot all the New Forest wildlife, including free-roaming ponies and deer, rare wild birds and small mammals like rabbits and hares, as they go about their daily lives in the forest’s heathland and woodland.
Sway (five minutes’ drive) is the nearest village, with a couple of pubs as well as a small supermarket for stocking up on basics. Pretty-as-a-picture Brockenhurst (10 minutes) and medieval Lyndhurst (15 minutes) both have a plentiful selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. And quiet and peaceful it may be, this site is also close to popular family attractions such as Peppa Pig World and the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
It's very much worth noting that there are no shower or toilet facilities at this site, therefore your own chemical toilet facilities are essential.

Local attractions
You’ll never run short of ideas when staying in the New Forest. Go horse riding, cycling (you can hire bikes locally too) or hiking in the woodland; try your hand at archery, bushcraft and combat games at New Forest Activities (20 minutes); or go wild on the waterslides at Romsey Rapids Sports Complex (half an hour, a good rainy day idea too).
For more cultural pursuits, have a nose around the Georgian docks and cottages at Bucklers Hard (25 minutes) on the Beaulieu River, or step back in time to the days of Henry VIII and take a ferry from Keyhaven to Hurst Castle (both 20 minutes) overlooking The Solent.
A must for petrolheads, the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (10 minutes) has a vast collection of racing bikes, or you could take a tour of the vintage cars at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (20 minutes).
However, if kids are part of your holiday package, they’ll doubtless be clamouring to get to the myriad rides and attractions at Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (half an hour).
