If you’re curious about what a New Forest glamping holiday might look like in September, we’ve written all of the benefits of what to expect if you do book a trip in. If you ask us, September might just be the best-kept secret of the glamping season.
As summer’s crowds begin to thin and the Forest shifts into more golden tones, the New Forest transforms into a tranquil haven – and glamping is the perfect way to experience it. Here’s why September is an ideal time for a glamping break in the New Forest:
1. Quieter Sites, More Space to Unwind
After the busy summer holidays, September brings a more relaxed pace to our campsites. With fewer families, you’ll find it easier to enjoy peaceful mornings, quiet evenings, and more space to explore.
Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a solo adventurer, or with friends, September offers the space and serenity many crave after a busy summer in the New Forest.
2. Glorious Weather (Yes, Really!)
September often surprises us with its mild temperatures and long, sunny days. It’s warm enough to enjoy food outside on the picnic bench included with your glamping bell tent, but cool enough to sleep comfortably under canvas.
And if the odd shower rolls in? That’s all part of the cosy glamping charm – especially when you’re tucked up in a comfy bell tent with blankets, board games, and a good book.
3. Beautiful Autumn Colours Starting to Show
This is the beginning of the New Forest’s most magical season. Trees slowly start to turn amber and gold, and early morning mist adds a dreamy atmosphere to woodland walks.
If you’re into photography, wildlife spotting or just appreciating nature at its finest, September in the Forest is unbeatable.
4. Seasonal Wildlife at its Best
September is a brilliant time to spot wildlife with pannage season typically being from mid to late September which means you may see pigs, as well as the normal free roaming deer and ponies you find all year round in the Forest.
Evenings are perfect for stargazing or listening to birds calling across the Forest – a peaceful end to a nature-filled day.
5. Comfort Meets Nature
Our glamping experiences are designed to offer the best of both worlds – the closeness to nature that camping brings, with a few added luxuries to make it easy and enjoyable. Real beds, cosy interiors, and a setup ready when you arrive – so you can simply relax from the moment you check in. All you need to bring is your bedding!
“The bell tent was spacious, beautifully furnished, and felt like a perfect blend of comfort and nature. We loved waking up to birdsong and seeing the horses, donkey and cows visit the pond. Facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax in nature without giving up modern comforts. Highly recommend.”
