Nestled between heathland, Blackwater Stream and Ober Water, this campsite truly revels in the beauty of the New Forest. 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.

Book now to ensure you secure an idyllic New Forest getaway for your family.

Please note: this campsite has no electricity, toilet or shower blocks. Bringing your own chemical toilet is essential.

Any barbecues used on our sites should be specifically designed and used only for the purpose of cooking food (i.e not firepits). They should be robust, secure and able to be raised off of the forest floor, there should no damage or marks left on the ground where they have been used. In support of the New Forest Action Plan we are asking campers not to bring disposable barbecues for their stay. We are also reminding campers that outside of our sites no barbecues of any kind are now allowed anywhere in the New Forest.

Please do not feed, pet or approach the animals in and around the campsite; they may look friendly but are unpredictable and can bite and kick. Please keep all food sealed and out of reach of the ponies
