What customers say

Setthorns offers a peaceful, back-to-nature experience in a beautiful New Forest woodland setting. Visitors praise the spacious, well-spaced pitches, friendly staff, and abundant wildlife. Direct access to numerous walking and cycling trails is a major highlight. While the site is basic with no toilet or shower facilities, many appreciate its quiet, secluded atmosphere, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Some minor points include patchy phone signal and potential for muddy conditions, but overall satisfaction remains very high.

Select electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We really liked the setting of the pitches within the trees. The whole site is kept very natural and part of the forest rather than being cleared and uniform.

Disliked There was nothing to dislike really. Maybe phone or internet signal could be improved in case of emergency.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This was our second time staying at Setthorns Campsite and we loved it just as much as the first. Each pitch is very spacious and set in the woods. It’s so peaceful and quiet. There are lovely walks from the site, and only about 30 mins walk into Sway. Staff are very friendly. Definitely recommend

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).
