Denny Wood Campsite, Lyndhurst SO43 7FZ, UK

Overview

Camping in ancient woodland

Opens 20th May.

Perfect for those who want a taste of wild camping, there’s a fabulous feeling of remoteness at Denny Wood. Pitches are separated by the natural features of the land, such as ferns, oaks and fallen trees so it feels like you have your own isolated piece of nature. But you’re never alone for long here as you’ll have the company of the free roaming ponies and wildlife including deer, birds and butterflies.

Spend your days exploring the nearby trails on foot or by bike and you’ll be taken into a world of heathland, open grassland, rivers and woodland.

Please note:
Dogs are not allowed on this site.

This is a limited facility campsite with no showers or toilets, so it’s essential to bring your own chemical toilet.

When visiting the New Forest, please follow the New Forest Code to help us care and look after this unique place for everyone to enjoy. Find out how here.

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 be 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.
