Camper at hollands wood

  • 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.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Really clean site. Super friendly welcome when we arrived. Shower and toilet blocks clean and never a need to wait for a shower. Road close by but never really noticed it, and certainly not at night.

Disliked: Rained heavily once, that the site can’t prevent but it did seem to get waterlogged very quickly. Prolonged rain may see quite a few areas flooding.

Also, price to add a gazebo or awning is maybe a little steep!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely peaceful setting. It was fantastic to be able to pitch anywhere amongst the trees. We had a great view across the meadow and could see horses grazing. Facilities were good and staff very friendly. Great to be able to easily walk into Brockenhurst.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The showers and toilet facilities were clean and the water hot and plentiful. Our welcome on arrival was fantastic and friendly. We found a pitch easily and the ground was level for our camper van.

Disliked: We could only find a pitch near the road and it was pretty noisy through the night - I am sure if we were further away from the road it would not have been an issue.

Liked: Everything. Even though there was a lot of rain the campsite was still amazing. The staff came round to check that everyone was OK and had not suffered too much with the down pour. They were all so friendly and helpful. We have booked again because we love it so much at Hollands Wood

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.
