Camping at The Manor

Dog-friendly site in the grounds of an Edwardian country manor house
In the New Forest National Park, 15 minutes’ drive from beaches
Farm shops, pubs, cafés and train station within walking distance

You’ll be all set for a royally relaxing stay at Camping at the Manor in the New Forest National Park. Here, you’ll be dwelling in the grounds of an Edwardian country manor house where there are often wild deer to be seen roaming the grounds and occasionally the mad owner on his lawnmower ensuring that the pitches stay nicely trimmed. You’ll have plenty of space to make into your little hidey-hole, as the pitches are spread between three large fields, surrounded by mature trees and planting for extra privacy. They’re level-grounded too, so it shouldn’t be too tricky to set up your tent and you’ll have access to a composting toilet, a shower and a washing-up area. There’s a real treat in store when it comes to the world of food around this area, as New Milton (five minutes’ drive) lives up to its description as a market town. As well as regular shops, there are farm shops for local goodies and pubs, restaurants and cafés. Closer by, Ashley (35 minutes’ walk) has a small shop too. Of course, there are all the popular pubs and eateries around Sway, Milford on Sea, Hordle and New Forest too – many within a short drive of the site. Just let the site know if they can arrange any bookings on your behalf. Those of you planning on leaving the car behind won’t need to miss out, as local buses will take you to Bournemouth or Lymington and the train station in New Milton is just 40 minutes’ walk away.

This is a highly-rated pop-up campsite praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful hosts, generous pitches, and well-maintained, eco-friendly facilities. Guests enjoy the relaxed, festival-like atmosphere, on-site food options, and communal fire pit. While some mention the compost toilets as an adjustment, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, highlighting a beautiful setting and a desire to return.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lots of room, well spaced pitches, no excessive noise, everyone seemed . There was a lovely atmosphere as there is a section near the shop/reception/pizza shop where anyone could take their mini bbq or gas cooker and all cook in a kind of communal way. The showers were great. Don't be put off by the fact that the toilets are composting toilets. They were kept immaculately clean. The pizzas were delicious and very reasonably priced. We were greeted on arrival by 'Stumpy' the site owner who was so friendly and helpful, he and the team seem to be everywhere, making pizzas and selling all the hot and cold drinks. The site is only open for 28 days in a year so keep a lookout for the available dates (May BHs and August weekends)

Disliked The only thing that we were a bit disappointed with was that there aren't any dog walks into the forest direct from the site. We talked about it with Stumpy and he's tried to get access to the adjacent forest land but has so far been unsuccessful.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite and would definitely come back again!
The site was incredibly clean and well looked after, and I was clear that the owners take a lot of pride in keeping everything running smoothly. The facilities were great, and the whole site had such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.
The owners were amazing and really went above and beyond, particularly with the ongoing fire ban. They’ve found such a great way to keep the camping spirit alive by providing a communal fire and cooking area.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Such a lovely chilled site. Everyone seems to be very friendly. The owners are so lovely and welcoming. The showers looked spotless (we showered in our campervan) and the composting toilets were clean.

It was great to be able to order delicious pizza. There was a good selection of beverages available to order. Breakfast bacon rolls were also available.

Really nice wash up facilities and areas where you can come and cook your food (cooking on pitches isn’t allowed at the moment due to the fire risk.

We arrived on the pitch after visiting Mottisfont. It’s nice to have a pitch with 12 pm arrival and 12 pm departure.

We enjoyed our stay so much that we’ve booked for next weekend.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything, great owners, great vibes, great service, from decent pitches to clean facilities and simple but delicious food and a good range of drinks and snacks. Classic pop up site with personality, place where the adults can chill and the kids mingle. It's also in my favourite part of the forest (near the beach) so what's not to like!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Wonderfully friendly hosts. Plenty of space to be had. Beautifully clean. Showers were delightful after a really hot day. The little food/drink hut was great at fab prices. No daylight robbery here bacon rolls, omelette etc and pizza in the evenings. Great for when you just don't want to cook or eat out. ! Will certainly be booking again!

Disliked Nothing too dislike

Liked Really good location, site lovely and the owners were happy to help and wanted to make your stay as good as it could have been.

Disliked The people that haven't any respect for others that are away for a couple of nights having a nice time, playing music loud!

Local attractions

Beach day, anyone? There are plenty of options for your daily dose of sand and sea. Milford on Sea beach (10 minutes’ drive) has very easy access in the high season. You might want to practise your bodyboarding at Highcliffe beach (15 minutes), paddle at Mudeford beach (15 minutes) or indulge in watersports at Avon beach (15 minutes). Other places for a dip (or a snooze and some sandcastle building if you’re feeling like a lazier day) are Sandbanks beach (45 minutes) and Boscombe beach (half an hour). Bournemouth (35 minutes) has plenty of seaside entertainment too, as well as an aquarium with a penguin enclosure. As for the quirky stuff, the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (five minutes) has a collection of restored motorcycles, including factory racers and exotic prototypes. Arty types might want to visit the Forest Arts Centre (five minutes) too. Put some peaceful walks in your plans too… there’s plenty to explore around the 24-acre Steamer Point Nature Reserve (15 minutes). It’s close to Highcliffe Castle (15 minutes), a grand Grade I-listed mansion that will add in some history.
