Hardstanding pitches (added by manager 31 Jan 2023)

Family-friendly woodland campsite in New Forest National Park
New Forest Wildlife Park five minutes’ drive; Southampton 15 minutes
Showers, toilet block and launderette; access to marked walking trails

If you're up for a spot of forest bathing – and in the company of free-roaming ponies – Ashurst Caravan and Camping Site, in the New Forest National Park, might be a spot that will suit you rather well. At this family-friendly site, you can choose to set up camp on flat, grassy pitches or delve deeper into the woods to stay in the shade of ancient oak trees. After that, all you need to do is embrace the peaceful vibe – or, if you prefer, get active by heading out for walks along waymarked trails through the woods, perhaps stopping for a rest and a pint of real ale at a traditional pub en route. If the grazing ponies and assorted birdlife on site have whetted your appetite for more animal-flavoured experiences, it's good to know that there's more of that within easy reach – within a 15-minute drive you can spy on otters, wolves and boars (New Forest Wildlife Park), watch deer being fed (Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary), and get up close and personal with farmyard animals and alpacas (Longdown Activity Farm). Whatever you choose to fill your days with, you may well be in need of a change of clothes and a freshen up once you get back to your pitch. That's easily done here, as the site's facilities include showers, a toilet block and launderette. Several gastropubs within a five-minute drive serve home-cooked meals, or you can walk into Ashurst village (five minutes on foot) and stock up on barbecue essentials at the supermarket. Please note, however, that disposable barbecues are not allowed on site.

We walked up the path on site to this beautiful woodland. great walk for all level walkers.

Great morning waking up to these beauties.

Was wonderful seeing the horses on site and they kept their distance to tents.

Horses wondered freely arpynd and didnt interfeer with the tents or caravans.

The horses truly made campiing a memorable unique experience.

Tiffany H. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We had an amazing time at Ashurst camp site. Lovely site surrounded by woodland. Very quick walk to the pub, lots of woodland to walk through and so much to do in a short drive. Lots of toilets and showers so we never had to que. A very friendly and safe site. We have 4 children aged between 10 and 3 and they thoroughly enjoyed it. We are very new to camping and would highly recomend. Thank you.

Disliked: It was all great and very friendly site. If we had to be super picky the odd train noise was abit loud (as we pitched up next to the train tracks) we didn't know there was train tracks there when we pitched up. Also finding a space was abit daunting as we are new to camping (eith a large tent) and was expecting allocated spaces, although it was fun for the children picking a space.

We decided to stay an extra night.

Eve L. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Being able to camp under the trees where we chose and being able to walk in the woods and see deer. Clean, ample toilet/showering facilities. Busy, but others quiet. Lockers with plugs to charge phones.

Disliked: Lots of rules and not made to feel very welcome. Gate locks at 10pm and doesn't open until 7.30am. Train and road noise could bother some people. No kitchen facilities or outlets, other than the locker you can purchase.

Local attractions

There’s a lot of enjoyment to be found in simply wandering through the woods around here, but if you want a specific place to head for, perhaps try Blackwater Arboretum (10 minutes’ drive), which has a collection of trees from around the world, or Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (15 minutes), where you’ll be guaranteed to spot the native animals at feeding time. As well as all the wildlife attractions around here, there’s also one where the animals are rather larger than life… younger kids will no doubt love the chance to meet their cartoon favourites in person at Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (15 minutes), plus the chance to go on various gentle rides. For older children, the gleaming attractions of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (15 minutes) may be more suitable. This location on the eastern side of the national park also gives easy access to Southampton (15 minutes) for the SeaCity Museum and Solent Sky aircraft exhibition or boarding ferries for a trip to the Isle of Wight.
