Made up of grandiose forest, open green fields, heathland views, and frequented by the New Forest’s free-roaming wildlife, Aldridge Hill campsite delights all that enter, and refreshes all who stay.


Whether you pitch in the shadows of the ancient trees, next to the trickling Ober Water and Blackwater Stream, or in full view of a rich heathland expanse, you’ll discover one of life’s unique getaways. What better place to relax and unwind with your treasured family and friends?


As you settle into your pitch, taking in all the site has to offer including the New Forest’s beautiful free-roaming ponies, relaxation will subtly work its way into your life.

Once you’re settled in, why not enjoy one of the many forest walks accessed directly from site? We recommend following the relaxing Ober Water Trail and taking in the beautiful scenery composed of ancient trees and the calm Ober Water.

Also well within walking distance of the site are Ober Heath, a favourite spot of the forest’s red deer and Whitefield Moor, a peaceful place perfect for children’s games or a  family picnic.

Just two miles away is the pretty village of Brockenhurst perfect for a jaunt to the pub or for stocking up on provisions for camp.

Fab campsite, child friendly, excellent location
/
I have been camping on this site for over 30 years, firstly as a child and now with my children. It is a fantastic campsite for kids, with the stream, rope swings, forrest to play in. There is a real community spirit on this site with the same families going back year after year
Unit Type: Trailer Tent
Beautiful location with helpful staff
/
This is a stunning campsite with basic facilities for a true camping experience! We have returned several times to the New Forest and have decided that this is the best campsite of them all, as long as you are well-prepared with fully charged leisure battery, working toilet and ideally hot water in the caravan! The campsite staff, Bob and Chris, cannot be faulted. They go over and above what you would expect to ensure that your holiday is as stress-free as possible. Their local knowledge, friendly advice and helpful attitudes are excellent and made our stay so enjoyable. The campsite is well-looked after and a pleasure to stay in. There are cycle and walking routes straight from the campsite into the Forest as well as the village of Brockenhurst within a mile or so. Cycle route maps and bus tickets are available from the campsite reception. There are two main options for camping here: on the open field with beautiful views across the heather or under the trees by the river. Our children love the river as there is a rope swing and plenty of opportunity for paddling and playing. And to top it all the ponies and cows of the New Forest are free to roam around the campsite. They caused us no bother and were a delight to watch, reminding us of how in touch with nature the campsite is. We would definitely recommend Aldridge Hill and cannot wait to be able to return for our next trip!

Beautiful site even in the rain

Wonderful setting, beautiful views. Well placed for long peaceful walks with the family and dog. Nature on your doorstep quite literally. Ideal for great bike rides and lots to do in the area. Only 3 miles to Brockenhurst and 17 to the coast. We have 2 young children 4 and 7 and they thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. Definitely be heading back to the forest very soon
Unit Type: RV Motorhome
A great site in the heart of the forest
/
We really enjoyed our stay at Aldridge hill. It's beautifully placed with in the new forest, and a short bike ride or walk from brockenhurst village where you can enjoy pubs, cafes, local shops including an excellent bakers. It is a nice and quiet site that are dog friendly, and the staff are very friendly, helpful and informative. A great site that I will definitely go back back to. Many thanks all at Aldridge hill.
Unit Type: Camper Van
Peaceful and right on the open forest
/
As we live locally we'd never thought of camping 5 miles from home. As we have a VW camper with toilet this was the perfect site. It was like rough camping in the forest in one of the best parts of the New Forest. There's an off road forest walk to Brockenhurst village centre without any traffic. We rode mountain bikes with well behaved dogs to the village. Perfect !! We will be ba k again next weekend - highly recommended

The Best Campsite!
/
We have been visiting this campsite for a number of years. As ever it was a perfect holiday, only problem being we only stayed for 1 week instead of the usual 2! If you want a nice peaceful holiday, plenty of wildlife including the usual Ponies, Cows and Deer and a back to basics holiday (no toilets, showers or electric) then this is the perfect place. Our dog Maisie found the river going through the site very welcoming as the temperatures were very hot the weekend we were there. The site managers, as always, were very friendly. A half hour or so walk into Brockenhurst (a number of different routes) finds plenty of shops for your supplies and a number of pubs, a favourite of ours it Nachos at The Snakecatcher then and Ice Cream from the shop next door. We shall be back - two weeks next time!
Unit Type: Caravan
Shh - it's too good to share!
/
A truly magical place with a shallow stream winding through it - tiny waterfalls and fern decked banks, miniature beaches and islands. Camp under the trees only yards from the water or on the sunny field and have a wonderful child and dog friendly visit! There's no toilets on site and the winding lane has ponies and speed bumps to negotiate but well worth the effort. Delightfully quiet at night, no road noise and friendly staff - our new favourite campsite 😊
Unit Type: RV Motorhome
beautiful site
/
We have just spent the week end at Aldridge Hill with family and friends. It is a beautiful and well run camp site in the heart of the New Forest. It has access to cycle tracks and lovely walk, including an easy walk into Brockenhurst. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be booking again.

Very relaxing stay
/
Last minute booking to enjoy the New Forest, we have been to Aldridge Hill many times and always found it relaxing. We found a suitable pitch which was quite easy that weekend. Didn't experience too many horses, maybe the dog put them off but seeing them gallop through the site was quite a spectacle. There is a shallow river running to the side of the site which kept the children and the young at heart happy, also useful for cooling the dog down. Easy walk from site to Brockenhurst and although we didn't have bikes could see this was a popular form of transport. Wardens very friendly and a nice touch the site will accept late stays for £3.00. Wish the site was open for longer period during the year. Wardens
