  • Friendly New Forest campsite with simple facilities provided
  • Five minutes' drive from Lyndhurst; 15 minutes from Lymington
  • Access to woodland walking trails; half hour's walk to Brockenhurst
It can be tricky to escape the trappings of modern life these days… but Hollands Wood Caravan and Campsite is a place that allows guests to do just that. With 22 hectares of gorgeous oak woodland as a backdrop, this campsite in the New Forest National Park is a fabulous spot for stepping back and taking some deep breaths of fresh air. Stays here are on simple pitches woven through the treelines, among the ferns or out in slightly more open spots – take your pick depending on which one catches your eye. Whichever you pick, you should be treated to soothing views of green space, sounds of woodland and the chance to spot the New Forest’s famed wild ponies wandering freely. (Please note the natural terrain means that rock pegs are a good idea for successful tent pitching.) The friendly atmosphere at Hollands Wood lends itself well to many hours of chilling out in the woods – but the location’s also an excellent one for those who’d like to take off and explore more widely. From here you’ll have access to 143 miles of waymarked trails for walks or bike rides through the surrounding woodlands, or you could walk to Brockenhurst (home of several lovely places to eat and drink) in about half an hour. This is a place where guests are encouraged to embrace the natural setting in all its glory, but there are a few facilities provided to make life a little more comfortable – these include toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette. You’ll also be asked to follow the New Forest Code to help maintain this glorious environment, and use organic toilet fluid where possible in chemical loos.

Hollands Wood: top-rated New Forest site, loved for woodland setting, pitch choice & wildlife. Staff are friendly, facilities clean. Close to Brockenhurst. Peaceful, though some note road noise & peak-time crowds.

Liked Beautiful setting right in the forest
Staff very friendly and helpful
We arrived at 1pm and found pitch fairly easily even though there was a queue and it was school holidays and New Forest show. Generally quiet but as it was school holidays lots of children enjoying the space and the site !
Bus stop nearby to catch open top bus
Enjoyed a meal at Balmer Lawn hotel within walking distance from the site

Disliked Nothing really - read some negative reviews before went and were pleasantly surprised as it was better than we thought

Roxanne G.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great facilities, staffing, the detailed, friendly welcome we received, the space with the 6m fire safety regulations, location

Disliked Would have liked to be able to buy bacon from the shop, my only grumble. Seemed a few trees had been cut back or removed since our last stay and you could see all the passing traffic and it was really loud in the morning so I was up by 6am every morning. Had I pitched up the other side of camp I’m sure I wouldn’t have had this problem but it was surprisingly loud.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked When we arrived at the site, we were greeted by very helpful and friendly staff who explained where everything was and all of the do’s and don’ts.

The site is very well laid out with hard track to drive round plenty of places to find your ideal pitch.

There is toilet block with showers, and a designated place to wash dishes all of which I found to be very clean and tidy!

I believe there to be a small shop but I didn’t use it so I can’t comment on that

Lots of beautiful mature oaks and wildlife to watch and unwind lots of open space for kids to play and explore!!!

We will definitely come back again!!!!!

Primitive grass campsite

Liked It was a busy site with a mixture of clientele but all friendly. Very close to Brockenhurst with good food served at the nearby pub - can walk there. If you get a chance find a pitch looking out on to the grassy area. Lots of wildlife to watch with bird song to accompany you. Would definitely go back.

Local attractions

Nearby Brockenhurst (half an hour’s walk/five minutes’ drive) is a good place to stroll to – the village has some lovely pubs, a bike hire facility for woodland cycle trails and the perennially popular Balmerlawn picnic spot for a riverside snack. Lyndhurst (five minutes’ drive) is another nice village to visit, with the New Forest Heritage Centre and bike tours available. Spotting animals is surely part of any New Forest break, and that’s guaranteed with trips to places like the New Forest Reptile Centre (10 minutes), Longdown Activity Farm (15 minutes) and New Forest Wildlife Park (15 minutes). The natural world is a huge draw around here – but so are the shiny cars of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (15 minutes). Once you’ve finished there, head back to the site via Lymington (15 minutes), which has boat trips, boat hire and the chance to cool off in a seawater swimming pool.
