  • 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.

Lovely New Forest woodland spot with ample space and pitch choice. Clean facilities, great staff, and free-roaming ponies! Good for walks, cycling, near Brockenhurst. Road noise and busy periods noted, but most guests highly recommend and will return.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Very welcoming campsite, in a lovely location. It was very easy to find, and the staff very friendly when we did arrive. Explained everything we needed to know about the campsite and as first time campers.

Loved the ability to just find a space in the site and pitch up. So at this time of year when they said they had 50 on site, and can take I think 450, meant plenty of space to find our own little area. Even with a section closed off due to being out of season and upgrades/maintenance taking place.

The showers/toilets/washing up block was kept lovely and clean. No problems at all with any of the facilities on site.

Another couple who came to say hello to our German Shepard while we were outside the wash block, said they’ve been here multiple times, which says everything you need to know about this site really.

The ground of our chosen area was a bit sandy, but that meant it drained really well, so with rain overnight on our first night, we woke up expecting puddles and mud, to find neither of those things.

The guy who checked us in, while doing his morning campsite checks, came over to check in on us and made sure we were alright as first timers.

Other than our kit failure, we had a lovely time. We only ended up staying the first night and most of the day while deciding what we were going to do for the 2nd night, but the wind and the rain of the first night wasn’t compatible with the tent we’d been given for free. We had managed to stay dry, but the damp had creeped through, and with more wind and rain forecast the 2nd night. We decided we didn’t want to put ourselves off camping again. So packed up that evening, but I’m positive we will be back, with a more waterproof tent, and better bedding.

Liked Site is fabulous, the new forest is beautiful and being so ‘out in nature’ with the ponies having free wandering rights is great

Disliked Although we were told under no circumstances to pitch closer than 6 meters we had 3 groups of loud campers do exactly that.
Facilities, although clean were a little cramped

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great sight but little sleep due to noise

Liked The site is lovely camping amongst the trees toilets and washing facilities are good, ponies wandering around

Disliked No nighttime management. First night a loud group at gone 12 woken up to an argument between them and another camp.
The 2nd night a group of around 5-6 teenagers music on and shouting at 1:30am until I eventually went over to ask them to switch it off and keep it down despite a 10pm noise curfew seems to be no enforcement of this

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.
