Bel emplacement de camping calme toute l'année, sans toilettes ni douches, très proche de la nature dans la forêt. Ouvert toute l'année. La réception ferme à 17h.

Un des 12 campings autorisés dans le parc national New Forest (le camping sauvage est interdit en dehors de ces campings).

L'eau douce, l'électricité, les WC et l'évacuation des eaux grises sont tous disponibles.

Attention : ce n'est pas un camping comme on pourrait s'y attendre, c'est un endroit sauvage en forêt, sans toilettes ni douches, mais des branchements électriques sont disponibles et les personnes du lodge d'accueil sont très serviables. Le matin, les écureuils courent et jouent dans les arbres et les poneys passent juste à côté de votre van. Nous avons également vu des cerfs à plusieurs reprises. Endroit idéal pour les amoureux de la nature, de la randonnée et de la solitude.

Beautiful, quiet year-round camping spot without toilets and showers, very close to nature in the forest. Open all year. Reception closes at 5pm.

One of the 12 campsites allowed in the New Forest National Park (wild camping is prohibited outside these campsites).

Fresh water, electricity, WC and grey water disposal are all available.

Be aware: this is not a campsite as you would expect, it is a wild place in the forest, without toilets and showers, but electric hookups are available and the people in the reception lodge are very helpful. In the morning, squirrels run and play in the trees and ponies walk right by your van. We also saw deer a few times.
Great place for nature lovers, hiking and solitude.

Schöner, ruhiger Ganzjahrescampingplatz ohne Toiletten und Duschen, sehr naturnah im Wald. Ganzjährig geöffnet. Die Rezeption schließt um 17:00 Uhr.

Einer der 12 erlaubten Campingplätze im New-Forest-Nationalpark (außerhalb dieser Campingplätze ist Wildcampen verboten).

Frischwasser, Strom, WC und Grauwasserentsorgung sind vorhanden.

Seien Sie sich bewusst: Dies ist kein Campingplatz, wie man es erwarten würde, es ist ein wilder Ort im Wald, ohne Toiletten und Duschen, aber Stromanschlüsse sind vorhanden und die Leute in der Empfangshütte sind sehr hilfsbereit. Morgens rennen und spielen Eichhörnchen in den Bäumen und Ponys laufen direkt an Ihrem Van vorbei. Wir haben auch ein paar Mal Rehe gesehen. Toller Ort für Naturliebhaber, Wanderer und Einsamkeit.

    Superb little campsite, no toilets or showers however electric, water and toilet waste disposal, park up in the forest and enjoy all it has to offer. Great for dog walking with an old railway track running through the middle. Really helpful staff. As of 27/3/24 it was £15.50 a night, pay extra for electric, also available super pitches. Wheelchair users need freewheel and off-road tyres.

    Stayed here for 2 nights. £31 all in for 2 nights. Places to refill water and empty chemical toilets. They check to make sure you have proper ventilation for converted vans, and also check you have a chemical toilet. Very peaceful sleep in the forest. Woke up to deer right in front of the van. Beautiful scenery and lots of places to walk.

    Brilliant site. Stayed in Dec for £16/night. Dark nights with a sky full of stars. The forest means it’s calm even on windy days. Friendly staff. A proper getaway. Short walk to Brockenhurst parkrun (< 1 mile). Loads of cycling and walking routes. Walk to the Hare and Hound in Sway in 25 mins for a hearty meal and a pint in a warm, friendly pub. Cycle the disused rail line into Brockenhurst.

    Einer der schönsten Campingplätze überhaupt. Wobei ich Ende November da war und es sehr ruhig war. Perfekt für Naturliebhaber, der Fahrradweg auf einer alten Bahntrasse geht direkt durch den Campingplatz.

    Very nice quiet site in November. Disused railway line is a fantastic dog walk and staff are pleasant and very helpful! As said before, you must have a chemical toilet and there are no showers. Plenty of water/toilet/ grey water dumps. Really enjoyed my stay here and my dog Logi had a ball!

    Nice site and obviously lots of walks from the site. Very friendly and pleasant. You have to be set up with your own toilets and shower. Wi-Fi is bad, but only to be expected in a forest.

    1. There only could be ponys on a part of the camping.Most of the pitches are closed for ponys with rolls in the road! 2. When we arrived the place was FULLY BOOKED acc. reception. Nevertheless we could choose between 7!!! pitches in the most expensive zone, while also cheaper pitches are free. 3. We decided to leave 1 day earlier because of weather, but with no money back.

    Had a wonderful 4 night stay during Feb in our off grid camper van. Rate was £14.50 during the week and £19.45 Fri - Sun. 11am check out/ £3 extra to check out at 4pm. There were quite a few other motorhomes there but we found a part of the campsite that we were able to have all to ourselves. It’s right in the forest so you’re really in the trees amongst nature. We woke up every morning to ponies roaming around the van and birds everywhere. On our last day we even had deer right next to us. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for peace and quiet. The lodge reception is really helpful and told us where we could fill up LPG. Beautiful walks in the area too! We’ll be back. The only thing that was disappointing for a place in nature is that there is no way to sort your rubbish — everything gets thrown into one general waste bin.

    Great site, premium EHU - picnic table on pitch which is relatively flat. Great site with great flat gravel paths nearby for cycling into Brockenhurst/ Sway or further afield

    Stayed one night, £13 for 2 in a camper in January with no electricity, grey and black waste emptying, fresh water, waste and recycling. Staff super helpful, lovely site thankyou.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant camp site with very friendly and helpful staff. Only place open to park in New Forest overnight when we were here In January. Our pitch was quite expensive as had extra large with electricity (only space left) as they were very full so probably worth pre booking. We will return. Dogs accepted but to be kept on lead with campsite

    A great experience in the New Forrest in Setthorns campsite. Beautiful. Lots of walks to explore and plenty of animals passing by. Really cheap for a tent and car £11.90. Had to hire a chemical toilet which cost £5 per night and a £20 deposit to pay in cash. Not sure what made it chemical though when it was the same as my bucket. Anyhow very safe place to stay. Lots of space between campavans.
