  • Small and friendly family-run site in the New Forest National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to New Forest Water Park; half an hour to the coast
  • Barbecues, wood and fuel sold on site and a pub just down the road
Whether it’s glades, moors or clifftops you've got your sights set on, walking and cycling are quite the treat in the New Forest National Park… and handily, Tom’s Field is a friendly place to start your engine, with New Forest Water Park 10 minutes’ drive away and beaches half an hour away in case you fancy a plunge down into the seaside. This is a small, family-run site, open on weekends and bank holidays only, with the family around the site most of the time so that you can count on a helping hand if you need it. The local community shop visits the site each morning to bring fresh bread and basic groceries and the site also sells wood and barbecue fuel (and hires out barbecues or fire buckets). Of course, you’ll be able to grab any extras you need from the wide range of shops in Fordingbridge, 10 minutes’ drive away. There’s wild swimming in the river Avon here, by the way, so you might want to wear your swimming gear. You won’t have to go off site to treat yourself to some forest scenery either, as the site looks over the woodlands and has access to an open heath and forest land where there are New Forest ponies and cows roaming around. If you’re searching for somewhere to be waited on, the site’s local pub is only 15 minutes’ walk away down the road. There are three more that you can get to with a little longer hike, between 45 minutes’ and an hour’s walk away.

What customers say

This well-organized campground in a beautiful New Forest location offers spacious, level sites and exceptional, spotless washrooms. Visitors often praise the friendly, helpful staff, peaceful vibe, and scenic forest walks. Pizza and ice cream van visits are a popular perk. Minor road noise is sometimes noted, and some mention the ground can be hard for tent pegs. Highly recommended!

Safari tent

Liked Tent. Location. Toilets & showers. Fire pit.

Disliked Distance to toilets and showers. They are at one end of the camp. Our tent was the other. Was expecting power in the tent and add could be interpreted as such. Needs to be clearer.

Liked Loved this campsite, facilities great, pitches lovely size and level. A ice cream van came to visit at 5.30pm which was a treat. There are beautiful forest walks from the campsite, along with a pub in walking distance.

Geena S.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Very cosy campsite, it's not big which means it didn't feel busy. Toilets and showers was clean, we was camped quite close to the toilets which was useful for a family with a younger child. Check in and out was easy and hiring a fire pit was easy and they gave us enough for 2 days at a reasonable £20. And the locate of the field itself is very central.

Disliked It's not so much of a dislike as most of the time you didn't notice but the noise from the road could be loud at times (more noticeable at night). Nothing that the campsite itself could change and given the locate its to be expected. It wouldn't deter me from returning but maybe something not everyone would be happy with.
