  • Dog-friendly pop-up site in a spacious four-acre field
  • A 10-minute drive from beaches and 15 minutes from Milford on Sea
  • A 10-minute walk from a microbrewery, spa, vegan café and restaurant
Whether you’re paddleboarding on local beaches, pursuing outdoor activities in the New Forest or mooching around the nearby towns, there’s a great balance between civilisation and peaceful countryside at In Nature Camping in Dorset. Under a mile from the edge of the New Forest National Park and 10 minutes’ drive away from beaches, there’s lots on the agenda here: days at the beach, visits to nearby historic towns and properties, shopping or even chilling with a spa treatment at the venue a short walk away. Also within 10 minutes' walk of the site is a vegan café and a restaurant. There’s a microbrewery 10 minutes' walk away, which serves drinks like small-cask beer, handcrafted ales and ‘unfined’ beer. A five-minute drive away, there’s another café with pick-your-own farm produce activities - how lovely. The closest beaches for strolls, snoozes, swimming and the likes are Avon beach (10 minutes), Highcliffe beach (10 minutes) Barton-on-sea beach (10 minutes). As for interesting local towns with shops and cafés, make your way to Highcliffe (five minutes), Christchurch (10 minutes), New Milton (five minutes) and Milford on Sea (15 minutes). The main road from Lyndhurst to the coast runs just a short distance from the field, making it nice and easy to access local attractions. What about the place you’ll be calling home for your Dorset holiday? Off-grid, it’s very much a wildlife haven. Try your hand at self-sufficiency (barbecues and firepits are allowed, weather conditions permitting) or grab your meals locally. There are four hot showers, six toilets and two washing-up sinks for those of you who decide to dust off the old camp stove and try cooking under the stars.

What customers say

Nice, roomy site with a friendly vibe. Cleanliness & hot showers get a thumbs-up. Handy for beaches & New Forest, with great, helpful hosts. Fire pits for hire. Might get a bit busy at peak times.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Great location! Everybody was good at following and being respectful of the campsite rules

Disliked I did think £35 for a tiny 2 person tent was steep for a field

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Well that’s funny because it’s £25 again you are the lady that booked a campervan trying to convince me it’s a tent what a joke

Friendly site, busy but lots of friendly people

Helen W.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Everything! The owner was very welcoming. Showers/washing facilities were great and kept clean. Toilets were fine too, kept clean and stocked.
Such a nice site, lovely walks for the dogs.
Loved the people playing drums in the next field, also the added bonus of having the pizza van on the Saturday was brilliant too as it was too dry to BBQ. (Amazing pizzas by the way)
Great for star gazing too.
Gutted we had to leave, but we can't wait too book up again!

Liked Peaceful spacious site, great location. Lots to do within easy reach. Good facilities that were very clean even though it was busy ( B/Hol weekend). Pizza van and ice cream van came to site. Nothing was too much trouble for Jeremy who was on site pretty much all of the time. Loved it!

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Absolutely loved this camp.
Jeremy was so kind and allowed us to leave our trailer tent for the rest of day so we could make use of the day still.
Toilets were great and kept very clean.
Showers were amazing very hot.
All in all was absolutely perfect.
We definitely will be back.

Disliked We didnt dislike anything here.
Just wish we didnt have to leave.

Rebekah F.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked This campsite is great if you're into super relaxed vibes in a festival type field, as opposed to other New forest campsites where you're hidden between trees. I really appreciated the little touches; warm simple shower setup (body wash included!), super clean porta-loos, flowers at the dishwash station, someone to welcome you and pizza for dinner! Alongside being allowed to get on with it.

Disliked The downside, which is completely my own fault unfortunately you can't walk straight out on to any trails, so I had to completely pack up and lost my campervan spot. There also isn't much by way of pubs etc that are a walkaway (other than the brewery which I went to and was cute for a brief stop), unless your happy walking on the road.
I took my dog with me and he had a great time, but again I was limited with respect to areas where he could be let off lead nearby (not the campsites fault).
Seemed to be popular with all sorts including lots of people with kids. I felt safe as a solo female camper.

Local attractions

Work your way outwards, starting with the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (five minutes’ drive) and the Romantic-style Highcliffe Castle (five minutes). The beach has access to the beach and a nature reserve, but for more cool habitats and wild animals, Hengistbury Head (20 minutes) should also be on your radar. Milford on Sea (15 minutes) is also just over the way. There, you’ll certainly get your watersports fix. There are ferries to Hurst Castle, an artillery fort at sea with links to the formidable Henry VIII. Further along the coast is the sailing hub of Lymington (20 minutes). To the north, your New Forest adventures might include the Go Ape course and cycling trails in the Moors Valley Country Park & Forest (half an hour). To the south, perhaps a big day out in Bournemouth (25 minutes), where surfing, kayaking and cycles on the prom might keep you occupied?
