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.

Guests enjoy the relaxed, festival-like atmosphere, on-site food options, and communal fire pit.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Every thing , stubby the guy that owns the place is amazing and his wife , unfortunately didn’t get her name . Pizza cooked to order on site then brought to my van as I didn’t hear the bell . The whole place is rustic handmade and very clean . Hot showers either good pressure . A fire at the communal area . Honestly couldn’t fault the place . And I will definitely be going back

Disliked Unfortunately it’s only open for a short time . 28 days I think he said . Due to council rules 😡

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Such a fantastic last minute find! The hosts were so welcoming and the facilities were great. Everything is kept to a very high standard, the toilets and shower facilities were very clean and kept so throughout our stay. There are good breakfast options, tasty bacon baps and coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc. The evening pizzas were very tasty and the added option of marshmallows to toast on the safely kept fire was a bonus for the children. A brilliant experience and we will be back!

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.

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.
