Family-friendly site two miles from the New Forest National Park
A five-minute drive from Fordingbridge; 35 minutes from Bournemouth
Well-behaved dogs welcome; pubs, cafés and shops in Fordingbridge

What’s a recipe for an excellent New Forest getaway? A healthy dose of walks and outdoor activities and a nearby peaceful base are certainly going to be two essential ingredients – and for the second, you need not look further than Nige’s Camping, a family-friendly site two miles from the national park border. Surrounded by lush greenery and made up of a flat open space where families can unwind, this particular formula is a very good fit for families. All pitches are of the grassy sort, set within a spacious field. Well-behaved dogs are a welcome piece of the puzzle too, but must be kept on a lead due to the free-range sheep and chickens roaming the grounds. When it comes to tracking real-life recipes for your dinner, there are cosy pubs in Fordingbridge five minutes’ drive or 25 minutes’ walk way. Alongside the River Avon, the town has a late-medieval seven-arch bridge and shops, restaurants and pubs. Deserving of a mention by the owners are the typically British fare at one hotel, authentic Italian cuisine in another restaurant, a riverside dining spot and great Indian dishes (just ask them for more details on these once you roll up). As endearing as those good eats may be, other attractions (not of the food type) include New Forest Water Park 10 minutes’ drive away and the seaside resort of Bournemouth 35 minutes’ drive away. Also within driving distance of the site are the likes of theme parks, historical sites and beaches.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: The peace and quiet, also was lovely having all the animals around.

Disliked: Wanted to see if we could by some eggs for breakfast, but couldn't find anyone. Felt awkward yelling over the fence and no answer so gave up. Maybe some kind of info sign ? A way to attract some attention

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice site. Crazy out of proportion price.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet site. Sheep roaming. The swing. Decent shower.

Disliked: The cost: exorbitant - we were booking late so had little other option but the cost is extreme considering the quality/facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello, thank you for comments and feedback and glad you enjoyed the stay. The price we set for our campsite is inline with other sites locally including our neighbours. Have a good summer and happy camping.

Very nice site, good location

Local attractions

What first for adventurous sorts? Wakeboarding at the New Forest Water Park (10 minutes’ drive)? A simple bike ride or hike between the big trunks of the New Forest? In Bournemouth (35 minutes), the sea will be your next playground: explore by kayak, paddleboard, jet ski or power boat. If the kids are your accomplices on this holiday, Bournemouth has a host of family-friendly attractions from theme parks and amusement arcades to gardens, castles and theatres too. Families who are Peppa Pig fans can track down the Peppa and George characters in Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (half an hour), where simple rides are on-hand to entertain young family members. The Tank Museum (55 minutes) will bring some history into playtime for kids too (and adults are sure to enjoy the history lesson, of course); it has many different forms of armoured tanks throughout their evolution.
