Ashurst Campsite

Overview

Camping made easy

Step off the train and immerse yourself in nature, with well-maintained facilities and spacious pitches that cater to both tents and caravans. With a wide variety of pitch options there’s something for everyone – flat, grassy pitches or delve deeper into the woods to stay in the shade of ancient oak trees.

Perfect for families and people new to camping, this site has all the facilities you need and is in walking distance from pubs, cafes and shops. Ashurst campsite is only a 12 minute drive away from Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World.

Please note:
Dogs are not allowed on this site.

When visiting the New Forest, please follow the New Forest Code to help us care and look after this unique place for everyone to enjoy.

Find out how here

Any barbecues used on our sites should be specifically designed and used only for the purpose of cooking food (i.e. not firepits). They should be robust, secure and able to be raised off of the forest floor, there should be no damage or marks left on the ground where they have been used. In support of the New Forest Action Plan, we are asking campers not to bring disposable barbecues for their stay. We are also reminding campers that outside of our sites, no barbecues of any kind are now allowed anywhere in the New Forest.

Please do not feed, pet or approach the animals in and around the campsite; they may look friendly but are unpredictable and can bite and kick. Please keep all food sealed and out of reach of the ponies.

Things to do

Activities near Ashurst Campsite

There’s a lot of enjoyment to be found in simply wandering through the woods around here, but if you want a specific place to head for, perhaps try Blackwater Arboretum (10 minutes’ drive), which has a collection of trees from around the world, or Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (15 minutes), where you’ll be guaranteed to spot the native animals at feeding time.

As well as all the wildlife attractions around here, there’s also one where the animals are rather larger than life… younger kids will no doubt love the chance to meet their cartoon favourites in person at Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World (15 minutes), plus the chance to go on various gentle rides. For older children, the gleaming attractions of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (15 minutes) may be more suitable.

This location on the eastern side of the national park also gives easy access to Southampton (15 minutes) for the SeaCity Museum and Solent Sky aircraft exhibition or boarding ferries for a trip to the Isle of Wight.
