A Real Back To Nature Site

My third visit to Aldridge Hill in 2019 and once again it did not disappoint. I was lucky enough once again to pitch up near the stream in the forest. It is a fantastic place to relax in peaceful forest surroundings.... On this visit i was fortunate to be visited by a group of Highland Cows, Horses, Ponies, Squirrels and by the stream,...Kingfishers and in the trees..... Woodpeckers... Its a nice 40 mins walk into Brockenhurst for all your normal daily needs with some great pubs, The Foresters Arms.. The Snakecatcher & The Huntsman All in all.... a fantastic site... with friendly informative staff ... I will definitely return in 2020 Thank You =o)

Beautiful Campsite
/
We had an amazing time at Aldridge Hill Campsite. The setting is beautiful, with wild ponies and cows roaming in and out of peoples tents. We camped near a stunning river meandering through the woodlands and could hear the animals having a drink during the night. The nearby town, Brockenhurst, is lovely with lots of places to eat and drink. There were great pubs and some live music and a great butchers and farm shop for our bbq! The owners were very friendly and helpful, we had a good laugh. The only (very small) downside was the number of campervans and caravans on site. I appreciate we went during a very hot bank holiday weekend so it was obviously going to be busy, but I think that the lack of facilities here attracts people with large motor homes etc which have all and more than the facilities they need - slightly took away from the "wild" and basic camping experience for us. But I imagine in quieter months this campsite would feel quite wild!

Enjoyable but...

Love Aldridge Hill and came here to recapture old memories from 25 years ago especially the peace and quiet of this idyllic site. We did have a great time however it was slightly spoiled by quite a number of not very quiet generators running for 4 hrs a day. I personally think that generators should not be permitted. It's a shame that the natural atmosphere is polluted by these things. Otherwise lovely.

Another great Camping in the Forest site
/
Easy to find, booking in quick, friendly and efficient staff, busy over the weekend but still plenty of pitches available. You have to have your own toilet and washing facilities but grey water, toilet empty and fresh water available central to the site. Great place for kids although we didn't have any and lots of off the road cycling or walking routes available adjacent to the site for those who want to see a bit more.

Great stay as always , although very busy, due to bank holiday and fantastic weather

Fantastic

The best campsite in the country. The scenery is second to none and the kids feel safe enough to wander on their own. The best family holiday you can have. When you are abroad all you do is helicopter parent your kids. Here they can play on their own safely. Will be back next year without a doubt.
