Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

We really enjoyed our stay. Andy was very friendly and helpful, even to the point of rescuing us when our car broke down! Lovely riverside pitch where we saw lots of birds, including a kingfisher and a heron. Very peaceful, would definitely stay again.

1 night at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping

Just what I needed! A peaceful retreat with a wonderful view. The caravan was beautifully presented with everything I needed to be cosy for the night and cool for the day. Thank you for making me feel welcome

1 night at Old Litten

Fantastic spot. Great scenery, lovely walking tracks and all felt very private. Charlotte was very lovely and helpful when we arrived to show us around the site and all the useful bits in the shed.

4 nights at Woodlands Camping

Amazingly relaxing break. Lovely site with wonderful walks through the woods and across the nearby fields. Very peaceful and quiet site. The night sky was mesmerising. Compost toilets were clean, though a little cramped. Two portable toilet pods arrived on the second day and we're much appreciated. Cold water washing up facilities were very handy. Host was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend the site for a relaxing get away.

Weekend Trip to Old Litten

Fantastic place to camp; secluded and very beautiful. We hope to be back soon!

Weekend Trip to The Barn KT9

Thank you Charlie for a lovely stay. The plot was very well located, and amenities excellent. We enjoyed a lovely walk and coffee before heading home. There is a pub nearby, which was walkable and good. The only thing we weren’t so keen on was the sound from the clay pigeon shooting next door in the morning! But would definitely come back!

1 night at Alciston Court Farm

I didn't stay into the main field but in one right at the foothills of the South Downs Way accessible by a gravel road. The directions on hipcamp weren't the best but Miles kindly came out and met me. I wish it was possible to add a photo to the review as the views were really stunning. Ideal if your set up for wild camping with a rooftop tent.

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill Farm

Charlotte is an amazing young woman. The site is beautiful with some amazing views. I will certainly return and cannot recommend the site enough

Weekend Trip to Old Litten

We had an absolutely fantastic back to basics stay, which is exactly what we were looking for! Absolute Perfection! We have already booked to come back!

3 nights at Sweet Hill Farm

Sweet Hill Farm is a great little spot. The views are what really make this camping spot - waking up every morning to the sea, Portland Bill Lighthouse and the horses in the field. We stayed in our van so had all we needed, but the site has toilets (port-a-loos), water for drinking and washing up and new shower blocks. There is a food and drink hut that offers fresh coffee, baked goods and cakes too. Family fun, friendly and part of an equestrian farm, there's also lots of other lovely animals happy in their habitat. A great campsite and perfect base for exploring the area and the coastal walks on offer :).

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill Farm

What an absolute gem! 💎 The site is beautiful, only a short walk to Portland Light house via a costal walk. Staff were friendly and really helpful and so was the beautiful owners dog. Our plans were to venture out to watch the rugby, but the on site shop and everything we needed, and decided to stay on site and admire the view. Ee can’t wait to visit again with the kids ( lovely play area and animals to look at) Showers were perfect and HOT ! We think we have found our “go to” site, and can’t wait to come back ♥️

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill Farm

Loved the campsite. Very relaxed and chilled. Basically facilities but awesome views and rustic which I prefer Arrived late on the first night and did find it hard to find my pitch in the dark. Someone else had pinched my hook up but I managed to find an alternative so all good

2 nights at Old Litten

Amazing view, fantastic host. I will be definitely returning when the weather is better. Plenty of walks and pub within 15mins walk.

Weekend Trip to Stockbridge View Campsite

Fantastic campsite, the host is really friendly and helpful, he gave us a warm welcome and was lovely with our dogs. The shower block is clean and well kept, and the washing up block is well maintained too. The site is tidy and clean, while not huge I felt we had plenty of space. We parked our small campervan on a hard standing site, and the rest of the site wasn’t particularly muddy. There were several other campers with dogs, everyone we encountered was friendly and clearly enjoying the wonderful quiet site! The site is a short walk or drive to Stockbridge, so if you need anything from the town it isn’t a hassle to get to. The town is worth a visit, so having a campsite in such close vicinity is a treat. I would highly recommend this site, I camp regularly throughout the year and this is one of the nicest sites I’ve visited.

1 night at Sweet Hill Farm

Beautiful views and great facilities, will definitely be coming back in summer. The owner was really welcoming and helpful!

Weekend Trip to Old Litten

We had a fantastic stay at this campsite in Petersfield, despite arriving much later than planned due to an accident on the way. John was incredibly helpful and patient, welcoming us with a smile even though it was late, raining, and very muddy! The location is great, with lovely views, and Charlotte and John have thoughtfully provided everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Even in wet weather, it was a great spot—peaceful and well set up. We’re looking forward to coming back when the sun is shining!

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

The farm was very easy to get to, and Donna and her husband were extremely communicative and welcoming. The cabin itself was an utter delight and more than I would've expected, both in terms of amenities available, and the quality therein. Very easy to both cook on site and enjoy the farm itself, and to head out into the countryside. Plus the cows were such a special treat to see!

Weekend Trip to Spring Hill Wild Camping

Great, basic camping within 10min walk of a pub, and open in winter. No showers, but compost loos. No running water in January as it is powered by solar, but luckily we brought some water. Firewood was supplied for £5 a bucket, and the pitches are equipped with fire pits. Alpacas are very cute!

Gurt Yurts

9 units · Glamping, Tents4 acres · Churchill, England

Off the beaten track on top of the Mendips in an area of outstanding natural beauty. A mixture of four acres of wild woodland, orchard and field set on a hillside. Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 8 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.

Weston Caravan and Campsite

31 units · Motorhomes, Tents2 acres · England

A small family run site in Weston-on-the Green village located with a local pub 5 minutes walk away and on site cafe. The site also has newly refurbished toilet and shower facilities. Amazing location to access Oxford city and easy access to M40 (Junction 9). Good things await for those who grab a berth at Weston Caravan and Campsite, in the Oxfordshire village of Weston-on-the-Green. For starters, space seekers should be pleased to see that there’s plenty of breathing room around this former dairy farm – excellent news for kids or dogs that need a bit of haring-about time after being cooped up in the car. Depending on where you’ve plonked down you may find that your nearest neighbours are the resident beef cattle, sheep or horses; it’s worth keeping your eyes open for sightings of the hedgehogs that often scuttle about the place too. Perhaps most crucially for those whose stomachs dictate a site’s success is the presence of a café that serves up a tempting range of freshly cooked goodies: breakfasts (no rush – they’re served all day), salads, cakes and coffees, plus cheeses, pies and the like to take away. And the crème de la crème – literally: homemade ice cream in up to 16 (yes, a lipsmacking 16) different flavours. Evening appetites can be sated with a barbecue out on the field, or trotting off to the local pub five minutes’ walk away. The site added a new toilet and shower block in 2018. And how to get to this little slice of rural loveliness? The village is just a few minutes’ drive from the A34 and Junction 9 of the M40, making it both a useful stopover on cross-country voyages and a handy spot for Oxfordshire breaks (perhaps taking in Oxford, Blenheim Palace or bagging bargains in Bicester).

Campsites near Brockenhurst guide

Overview

Nestled within New Forest National Park, the picturesque village of Brockenhurst welcomes campers to South East England pubs, shops, and tea rooms. Campsites, cabin rentals, caravan parks, and glamping sites allow campers to stay and play directly in New Forest and hike the England Coast Path, the U.K.’s newest national trail. Across The Solent in the English Channel, explore the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty features iconic cliffs and beaches covering nearly half of the island. Returning inland, Cranborne Chase AONB sits northeast of Brockenhurst with shepherd hut rentals amongst rare chalk grasslands, chalk escarpments, and chalk river valleys.

Where to go

New Forest National Park

Just moments from Brockenhurst, majestic trees, epic viewpoints, and wildlife sanctuaries await in New Forest National Park. Oak-lined trails weave through the park and provide refuge to rare species and birdlife, including snipe, curlew, and redshank. Campsites and holiday parks managed by Camping in the Forest offer tent and caravan pitches with access to electricity, showers, and toilets. Wake up and traverse the park’s historic walking routes—look out for New Forest ponies roaming free on the land.

Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Take a ferry across The Solent strait to Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where chalk cliffs and sandy beaches cover half of the island’s coastline. Enjoy sunshine and sand at Whitecliff Bay, take a chairlift to the top of Needles’ chalk stacks, or visit the medieval Carisbrooke Castle. Family-friendly campsites, cottage rentals, and unique glamping sites are available throughout the area with full hookups, firepits, and swimming pools.

Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Less than an hour from Brockenhurst, campers will find Cranborne Chase AONB, known for its chalk land features and dark sky preserve. Cranborne Chase’s many trails are ideal for nature walks, cycling, and horseback riding. They also provide unique viewpoints of Fovant Badges, a cluster of military badges cut into the chalk hills of Wiltshire. Privately-run camping parks, caravan sites, and unique holiday home rentals within the AONB range from levelled pitches with firepits to eco-friendly shepherd’s huts. Most campsites provide full hookups, showers, and toilets.

When to go

Camping near Brockenhurst is a year-round activity, though seasonal weather patterns can impact access and activities. Summer is the peak season with warmer temperatures and lack of rain. Expect larger crowds and make reservations to guarantee a shaded pitch. Winters are long and cold with temperatures dropping drastically. Though it is rare to see a drop below -3°C, campers should come equipped for cold-weather camping from late fall to early spring.
