What customers say
This large, well-maintained campsite in the New Forest offers spacious pitches and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praise the friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities, and convenient on-site shop. The location is ideal for exploring the forest, with opportunities for walking and cycling, and guests enjoy seeing the local wildlife. While many find it a great family-friendly option, some noted it can be busy during peak times, with occasional noise issues.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked 2nd stay here this year. Great location. Lots of toilets, so ideal facilities with shop selling Pizzas on weekend. Great staff too. And will be back again as such a great place in New Forest.
Disliked Map layout is a bit confusing but it didn't really bother me.

Great stay with well maintained facilities.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked We had a lovely stay on a flat pitch at Holmsley site. It was very quiet and there were plenty of toilet and hot shower facilities.
It’s right in the New forest and is ideal for walking and exploring.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The facilities are really great for a campsite! There are a variety across site which are all easily accessible. The site itself is vast and has lots of options for pitching up in more private areas or in more open spaces- great for adults and families alike! There are beautiful walks around the site and off site- the walk to the river is by far the best! And not to forget the local horses and cows that greet you over the fence every morning.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Great camp site! It’s such a beautiful spot. You won’t need to drive anywhere else and you can just walk into the New Forest from the camp site. Lots of family but you don’t feel noisy or crowded. Staff is very friendly and helpful too. There is a little shop where you can get lots of basic things for camping. Lots of shower rooms and toilets. Very very clean! We have booked another weekend while we were leaving as you can get 20% off! It’s our new favourite campsite! Thank you

Had a great stay at Holmsley would recommend.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The toilets, sinks and showers were good and clean. Facilities were convenient overall.
Disliked It would be convenient to have a dry changing area after your shower, that way it is quicker for anybody waiting and easier all together.

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The lady at reception was pleasant enough
Disliked Everything. It may be a nice site, but it felt like they’d tried to cram so many people in. It was too busy and resembled a gypsy site rather than a camp site. Everybody seemed quite unfriendly too. Nobody said morning. Toukets dirty, hair left lying all over sinks. Not a nice experience . Would have left if we’d arrived early enough. Only stayed one night despite paying for two. Will never come back.
