New Forest camping
You can enjoy some relaxing New Forest camping on ten managed campsites operated by Forest Holidays, who manage forest and woodland based campsites all around the UK, in close conjunction with the Forestry Commission.
In addition, there is a small selection of privately owned campsites throughout the National Park.
Camping in the New Forest is a great experience and puts you right into the heart of the Forest.
The campsites are set in totally natural surroundings and it's not uncommon to find yourself sharing a pitch with the odd New Forest pony!
Facilities and amenities do differ between campsites, and it's important to note that not all sites have toilet facilities, and so a chemical toilet of some kind is needed.
Also, only a few of the campsites have electrical hook-up options.
Given the relatively small size of the New Forest, all campsites are perfectly located for access either directly onto the Open Forest itself, or to all of the area's main attractions.
