New Forest Activities is a secluded campsite on Hazel Copse Farm, a working farm in Beaulieu, Hampshire. How about escaping to the wonderful New Forest National Park for a camping experience to remember? There’s nothing quite like emerging from a peaceful night’s rest under canvas to gear up for the day. Bring your own kit (gazebos and barbecues too) and set up camp on grass pitches, with all the amenities you’ll need for an adventuresome camping holiday for families or couples. And where better to start those adventures than with 20 percent off outdoor adventures with New Forest Activities? You can try your hand at anything from canoeing to archery. With the New Forest literally on your doorstep, you can cycle through ancient woodlands or take the kids on circular strolls around Hatchett Pond (10 minutes’ walk). If you’d like to explore further afield, catch the Isle of Wight ferry from Lymington (15 minutes) to tour royal castles and take a chairlift ride above The Needles rocks – and if you’re on your hols with kids, Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (25 minutes) is probably top of your to-do list. Pick up bits for the barbecue from local farm shops, and there are plenty of pub and restaurant choices in Beaulieu (15 minutes’ walk) if cooking is off the agenda. What to expect at this site? Clean toilets, showers and washing-up facilities, plus access to outdoor drinking-water taps and shared fridge and freezer amenities. The site also offers car parking by your pitches so you won’t have to heft stuff around, and charging facilities.
