  • 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.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, friendly, and relaxed campsite with a great atmosphere. Visitors praise the spacious, flat pitches, clean facilities including hot showers, and the welcoming, helpful hosts. The on-site shop with food options like pizzas and bacon rolls is a popular bonus. The location is considered excellent for exploring the New Forest and nearby beaches, and the eco-friendly ethos is appreciated. Some minor points mentioned include occasional queues for facilities and the compostable toilets, which are generally well-maintained.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no cars)

Liked Fabulously hosted by Marie, Stumpy and Esmè! It was our first time camping with our dog Bruno and we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Great site and facilities. We didn’t try any food but by the looks of it from other campers, it looked yummy! We are really looking forward to coming back again soon. Daisy,Sam &Bruno

Jemma P.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a wonderful welcome by the hosts and an explanation of pitches and facilities. Pitches were marked which was really useful and the field we were in was perfectly flat. Had nice pizzas for dinner and coffees in the morning. They have a well stocked little shop. Music playing really lifted the atmosphere too. Compostable toilets very well set up compared to previous sites we’ve been to, and showers were hot and again well set up (loved the wallpaper!). We only stayed one night but loved the vibe and would definitely stay here again. Not far from Lymington and we popped there for a wander and an ice cream. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Incredibly friendly camp with a wonderful warm welcome.

Loved the quirky style and not having to vacate your pitch until mid day. The pitches are good and level, clearly marked out (and generous size) AND they let us book for asingle night.

Brilliant vibe to this place, and great location!

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.
