Once a hunting area for the royals of the past, it is now a National Park and a favourite for holidaymakers who enjoy holidays beautiful surroundings. There are many ways to visit and stay in the New Forest, log cabins, tipis or teepees, caravans, camper vans, RV’s, motorhomes, glamping pods, bed and breakfast, and there plenty of New Forest hotels to choose from. However many people who wish to feel more independent, choose camping.

New Forest campsites, and there are ten of them, are well maintained and offer excellent facilities for campers visiting the New Forest. For those who are less adventuress, but still appreciate their freedom New Forest caravan sites, log cabins and glamping are also incorporated in the campsites.

Once the tents have been erected the campers will have no problems in searching out things to do in the New Forest. Horse riding is one of the many attractions on offer in this unique part of the country, and there is no shortage of New Forest pubs to be found: The Alice Lisle was one of my favourites whenever I visited the New Forest.

With the ancient town of Ringwood close by, with it markets and shop, plus the south coast resorts of Southbourne and Bournemouth just a short drive away, there is much for the New Forest holidays camping fraternity to enjoy in these delightful settings before returning to the wild.

The whole area is an excellent place to spend a family camping holiday with its outstanding beauty and its well-maintained camp sites offer much for the intrepid traveller who prefers to carry their holiday home on their back. This Government website can give you even more information.
