About camping in the New Forest

Steeped in history, the New Forest once covered massive areas of southern England and is still protected by laws dating back as early as 1079.

These laws are the reason that there are now some 10,000 livestock that freely graze the New Forest land. You’ll see many of our campsites are visited by free-roaming ponies which is great fun to watch. The wild and domestic animals of the New Forest are accompanied by an extensive mix of landscapes covering the forest’s 571 square kilometres. At Camping in the Forest, we work closely with Forestry England and other key stakeholders to ensure our campsites are only adding to the wonder of the New Forest. It’s important to ensure that we can all enjoy the New Forest for generations to come by safeguarding and supporting the unique habitats and landscapes of the area.

New Forest campsites

New Forest camping provides a truly back to nature experience, where fences are almost non-existent, animals can wander freely, and the natural features of the land are offered up right next to pitches.

Our New Forest campsites offer a range of facilities for all campers. Some of our sites have full washing and toilet facilities, making them ideal for tent campers or those just starting on their camping journey. Our other New Forest camping sites have minimal facilities, allowing you to enjoy the land as it is in a campervan, motorhome or caravan with your own facilities. Having these options means there’s a location for everyone looking to get away on a New Forest holiday.
