  • Dog-friendly site in the grounds of an Edwardian country manor house
  • In the New Forest National Park, 15 minutes’ drive from beaches
  • Farm shops, pubs, cafés and train station within walking distance
You’ll be all set for a royally relaxing stay at Camping at the Manor in the New Forest National Park. Here, you’ll be dwelling in the grounds of an Edwardian country manor house where there are often wild deer to be seen roaming the grounds and occasionally the mad owner on his lawnmower ensuring that the pitches stay nicely trimmed. You’ll have plenty of space to make into your little hidey-hole, as the pitches are spread between three large fields, surrounded by mature trees and planting for extra privacy. They’re level-grounded too, so it shouldn’t be too tricky to set up your tent and you’ll have access to a composting toilet, a shower and a washing-up area. There’s a real treat in store when it comes to the world of food around this area, as New Milton (five minutes’ drive) lives up to its description as a market town. As well as regular shops, there are farm shops for local goodies and pubs, restaurants and cafés. Closer by, Ashley (35 minutes’ walk) has a small shop too. Of course, there are all the popular pubs and eateries around Sway, Milford on Sea, Hordle and New Forest too – many within a short drive of the site. Just let the site know if they can arrange any bookings on your behalf. Those of you planning on leaving the car behind won’t need to miss out, as local buses will take you to Bournemouth or Lymington and the train station in New Milton is just 40 minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

This friendly, eco-conscious campground has spacious, well-kept sites and a relaxed vibe. Guests love the super welcoming owners, clean facilities (compost toilets, hot showers), and handy on-site shop. Great spot for exploring the New Forest and beaches. A pity it's seasonal and pop-up.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Lovely place. Very friendly and helpful owners. The shop/bar/cafe was great. Compost toilets really organised and clean. Big pitches.

Disliked Probs would have liked cubicle doors on showers rather than just curtains!

Would be nice to know if there were any local walks rather than just along road. Didn't ask tbf. But a big laminated map would be good

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked An absolutely fabulous place to pitch up. HUGE pitches (especially if like me you were solo camping), welcoming hosts, fabulous eco credentials (the nicest compostable loos and converted showers I’ve seen), and pizzas/bacon rolls that perfectly hit the spot. Thoroughly recommend as a base to explore the coast or the forest. I hope to be back!

A lovely campsite and a brilliant experience.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The overall experience was perfect ! We showed up a little later and they made sure that our group of 3 were still together. While we were pitching the Host came over to chat and introduce himself, he’s a great laugh 😂. The facility’s were a little different being a composting toilet and showers built in an old horse trailer but both incredibly clean and very functional and actually added to the experience ! Unfortunately we had to leave a day early due to a change in the weather but we will 100% be returning ! Thank you for having us 😁

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Extremely friendly welcome upon arrival and all throughout our stay. A very precise site induction ensured everyone (even the kids) were aware of the do’s and don’ts which was important considering the recent local forest fires.
A small but very sociable fire pit/cafe/reception area which was well used, with the owners joining in.
All facilities were immaculately clean and well stocked at all times.

Local attractions

Beach day, anyone? There are plenty of options for your daily dose of sand and sea. Milford on Sea beach (10 minutes’ drive) has very easy access in the high season. You might want to practise your bodyboarding at Highcliffe beach (15 minutes), paddle at Mudeford beach (15 minutes) or indulge in watersports at Avon beach (15 minutes). Other places for a dip (or a snooze and some sandcastle building if you’re feeling like a lazier day) are Sandbanks beach (45 minutes) and Boscombe beach (half an hour). Bournemouth (35 minutes) has plenty of seaside entertainment too, as well as an aquarium with a penguin enclosure. As for the quirky stuff, the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (five minutes) has a collection of restored motorcycles, including factory racers and exotic prototypes. Arty types might want to visit the Forest Arts Centre (five minutes) too. Put some peaceful walks in your plans too… there’s plenty to explore around the 24-acre Steamer Point Nature Reserve (15 minutes). It’s close to Highcliffe Castle (15 minutes), a grand Grade I-listed mansion that will add in some history.
