Seasonal Pitches
A home-from-home in the heart of the New Forest National Park. Leave your caravan at one of our sites for the whole season and visit at your leisure – no towing, no packing up, just arrive and relax.
Your caravan, ready and waiting
A seasonal pitch lets you keep your caravan on site across the season, so the forest is always ready when you are. Come for a weekend or a week, spot the ponies, walk the trails, and head home without the hassle of towing back and forth.
Seasonal pitches are available across our New Forest sites, with winter seasonals at Setthorns. Whether you want long summer stays or crisp, quiet winter escapes, there’s a season to suit.
