  • 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

Highly recommended, friendly, relaxed site with a great vibe. Praised for spacious, flat pitches, clean facilities (hot showers!), and helpful hosts. On-site shop with pizzas/bacon rolls a bonus. Excellent for New Forest/beaches. Eco-friendly ethos appreciated. Minor queues/compost toilets noted.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I recently stayed at this camping site and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The team running it are truly amazing and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. From the moment I arrived, they greeted me with genuine warmth and friendliness. At one point, I had an issue with my car and they didn’t hesitate to step in and help me jump start it. That kind of support really made me feel cared for and at ease. The facilities at the campsite are top-notch, clean, and very well maintained. You can tell the staff put a lot of effort into keeping everything comfortable for visitors. What stood out the most was how friendly the team was—they chatted with me as if we had been old friends for years. This made the whole atmosphere feel very relaxed and homely. The location of the site is excellent, surrounded by nature and incredibly peaceful. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, disconnect, and recharge. I especially loved how quiet it was at night, with only the sounds of nature around. The sense of community at the campsite was very genuine and welcoming. It’s rare to find such a balance of great facilities and such personal, thoughtful hospitality. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone I know.

Liked Plenty of space, friendly and helpful staff, small bar to buy drinks and snacks. Our kids were fascinated by the compost toilets and we all enjoyed being able to have a fire pit to make it a “real” camping experience!

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Literally just got back and already looking forward to going again next year! The Manor is run by a lovely family - they’re so welcoming & you won’t be short of a laugh or two. Location is great! Short drive to a dog friendly beach. Facilities were spot on. They give you so much space. We paid extra for a fire pit and wood, which we’d definitely recommend. At night there’s pizza and music at reception. Just all round a great stay! See you next year!!! Love Lucy, Dan & Boyd 🐾

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.
