Camping New Forest Grant

Grants of Up to £500 Available for Community Projects

Camping New Forest is proud to support local organisations across the New Forest National Park through the Camping New Forest Grant.

Funded through our voluntary £1 per booking donation initiative, the grant provides up to £500 to projects that strengthen education, wellbeing, sustainability and community engagement across the Forest.

By inviting visitors to add a small contribution to their stay, we have created a fund that helps local initiatives thrive while helping to offset the impact of tourism on this unique and much loved landscape
