What customers say
This peaceful woodland site in the New Forest offers spacious pitches for a back-to-nature escape. Guests love the tranquility, wildlife, and direct access to trails. Staff are friendly. With no toilets or showers, be prepared for self-sufficiency. Road noise and track conditions are noted, but many appreciate the digital detox.

Nice, mostly quiet, back to nature site.
Primitive cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Great location for walking
Nice to have pitches in the trees and not see rows of white boxes.
Quiet and dark at night - can see the stars and hear the owls
Disliked Took a while to find a level pitch, could get stuck with a really slopey one when full.
Lots of cars seemed to need to leave site between 7:30 and 8, not sticking to speed limit. Seemed odd so many that early ( cars, not towing and not motorhomes, are some pitches residential??)

Silent, dark and stunning
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We were allowed to choose our own pitch, so we drove around the site and found our perfect spot. We loved being amongst the trees. As dusk began, we could hear squirrels chattering and buzzards calling. The darkness brought owl hoots, and then... silence. Not a sound. There are no lights around the site, so the evening was pitch black. We all had a great night's sleep as a result.
Disliked There are no toilets or showers, but as we were in a self contained motorhome, this did not bother us at all. In fact, it contributed to the silence because people were not moving about after dark.
