How can you choose between forests and seas? At Lepe Beach Campsite, a spacious, family-friendly Southampton site in New Forest National Park and six miles from the historic Beaulieu village, you don’t have to… Lepe Beach Campsite is next door to Lepe Country Park, where you can take to the beach, visit the café, explore the wooded cliffs and learn more about the New Forest’s role in D-Day’s Operation Overlord. The site is a few hundred metres from the coast, so it is well placed for watersports and beach activities: try out canoeing or kayaking, take to the water for a sailing lesson, or relax with a dip in the sea. Beaulieu's museums and abbey are a 15-minute drive away, and the pretty market town of Lymington is 25 minutes away. Back on site, fire up the barbecue and cook yourself some supplies from the shop five minutes’ drive away or from the nearby farmer’s markets, then chow down sitting around the campfire. If you’d prefer a break from cooking, there are a handful of restaurants within 30 minutes of the site.

Local attractions

Lepe Beach Campsite is a prime site for diving into New Forest National Park – follow the woodland trails on foot, two wheels or horseback, or get up close with the wild animals at New Forest Wildlife Park, a 20-minute drive from Lepe Beach Campsite. For a touch of history, head to Beaulieu Estate for Palace House and Gardens, the National Motor Museum and the ruins of the 13th-century abbey, or stroll around the spectacular gardens at Exbury. Kids starting to get bored? There’s plenty in the area to keep them entertained: head to Adventure Wonderland, Moors Valley Country Park or Paultons Park for rides, tree-top adventures and family-friendly activities. If you want to get back to a more urban vibe, the port city of Southampton is about half an hour away, where you can wander around the historic Old Town and the city’s galleries and museums. If you can only do three things during your day trip, head to the home of the Spitfire at Solent Sky Museum, explore the model of the Titanic at SeaCity Museum, and head back in time at the spectacular Tudor House and Garden.
