General
- Back-to-basics site on a Hampshire farm on the edge of the New Forest
- New Forest Lavender Gardens five minutes’ drive; Lepe Beach 35 minutes
- Dog-friendly site; woodland walks and off-road cycle paths nearby
Time to get back to basics with a break at Wellowwood Camping, a dog-friendly site on a family-run farm a five-minute drive from the Hampshire village of West Wellow. At the site, which is easily accessed from the A36, you can drive right up to your grassy pitch, so there’ll be no lugging of heavy gear before getting settled.
There are a couple of portable toilets in the field, but not much else – at least in the way of amenities. What the site does have, though, is a pretty enviable location: you are within a 10-minute drive of New Forest National Park, where there’s no shortage of family-friendly activities and attractions to keep you busy during your stay.
Start the day with an exploration of the local surroundings, whether on foot or by bike (there are several off-road cycle paths in the vicinity). Bordered by centuries-old oak trees, Sherfield English (15 minutes’ walk) is a fenced-off area of wood- and wetlands popular with dog walkers, who can let their pooches off the leash. There are several equestrian centres within a 10-minute drive, or you can head to Dandy’s Ford (five minutes’ drive) for a spot of angling on three lakes stocked with carp and bream.
All the while, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the local wildlife, from bats and harvest mice to ponies roaming freely within the New Forest.
Open from 18/03/2023 to 31/12/2023

Local attractions
Surround yourself in colour and heady fragrance at the New Forest Lavender Gardens (five minutes’ drive), where there’s more than just purple shrubs, with vibrant sunflowers and multicoloured dahlias. You can also stock up on plants for your own garden here, and sample delicious home-baked cakes in the pretty tea room.
There are rides and attractions for all ages at Paultons Park (15 minutes), from vertiginous drop towers to gentle boat rides for toddlers. One of the popular highlights of the park is Peppa Pig World, where kids can meet some of the characters from the beloved cartoon show.
With views of the Isle of Wight, just across the Solent, Lepe Beach (35 minutes) is a good spot for swimming and watersports. Pine trees shade the hiking trails in Lepe Country Park, and the surrounding coastline is dotted with remains of D-Day training exercises and World War II memorials.

I am sorry that you have felt mislaid about the campsite but the pictures of the lake and animals are in reference to the new forest being in close proximity to our site
As for the skip and machinery they are not in the camping area but in the field to undertake work on the site.
As for the portaloos it was never stated that they had running water but we do have a water supply for the site for campers to use as I mentioned on your arrival.
I can only apologize that you felt mislaid as you had stayed for one night I had presumed you were happy
If you had contacted me i would have been more than happy to discuss any problems that you had .
Regards
