About us
Welcome to Camping New Forest – part of The New Forest Agricultural Show Society.
We’re delighted to have been chosen to run Forestry England’s ten New Forest campsites – Aldridge Hill, Ashurst, Denny Wood, Hollands Wood, Holmsley, Longbeech, Matley Wood, Ocknell, Roundhill and Setthorns.
We can’t wait to welcome you for New Forest adventures!
Protecting the New Forest
One Booking at a Time
The New Forest is a truly special place, but caring for its unique landscape comes at a significant cost – millions of pounds each year. It’s up to all of us to help preserve this extraordinary environment and support the people and organisations who care for it.
To play our part, Camping New Forest has introduced a £1 donation per booking. This small contribution helps offset the impact of tourism on the forest and supports essential work in conservation, education, and community engagement.
Together, we can help ensure the New Forest continues to thrive, the ponies remain free to roam, and this treasured landscape is safeguarded for generations to come.
