  • Dog-friendly pop-up site in a spacious four-acre field
  • A 10-minute drive from beaches and 15 minutes from Milford on Sea
  • A 10-minute walk from a microbrewery, spa, vegan café and restaurant
Whether you’re paddleboarding on local beaches, pursuing outdoor activities in the New Forest or mooching around the nearby towns, there’s a great balance between civilisation and peaceful countryside at In Nature Camping in Dorset. Under a mile from the edge of the New Forest National Park and 10 minutes’ drive away from beaches, there’s lots on the agenda here: days at the beach, visits to nearby historic towns and properties, shopping or even chilling with a spa treatment at the venue a short walk away. Also within 10 minutes' walk of the site is a vegan café and a restaurant. There’s a microbrewery 10 minutes' walk away, which serves drinks like small-cask beer, handcrafted ales and ‘unfined’ beer. A five-minute drive away, there’s another café with pick-your-own farm produce activities - how lovely. The closest beaches for strolls, snoozes, swimming and the likes are Avon beach (10 minutes), Highcliffe beach (10 minutes) Barton-on-sea beach (10 minutes). As for interesting local towns with shops and cafés, make your way to Highcliffe (five minutes), Christchurch (10 minutes), New Milton (five minutes) and Milford on Sea (15 minutes). The main road from Lyndhurst to the coast runs just a short distance from the field, making it nice and easy to access local attractions. What about the place you’ll be calling home for your Dorset holiday? Off-grid, it’s very much a wildlife haven. Try your hand at self-sufficiency (barbecues and firepits are allowed, weather conditions permitting) or grab your meals locally. There are four hot showers, six toilets and two washing-up sinks for those of you who decide to dust off the old camp stove and try cooking under the stars.

Ready tent

Liked We booked one of the ready-pitched tents which are spacious clean, and just really nice tents - saved us a lot of faff pitching and taking down a tent for just one night.

The toilets were spotless and the sink area well organised and pleasant to use - it even had a vase of flowers!

Jeremy was very welcoming when we arrived, and had some good tips about getting food in the area.

Ready tent

Liked Nice and easy to access facilities where clean and simple no frills but we liked that about it
Ready tent was clean and no issues at all
Friendly site manager happy to help when needed

Disliked Only downside I would say was limited facilities for the amount of people on the site
3 showers and 2 toilets and a small washing up area meant having to Que at times it could honestly do with double that
A nice added extra would be on the pre paid tents some fairy lights around the edge to give some light around the tent in the evenings and maybe numbering them as it was a bit of a mix up when we arrived at least that way a number can be allocated to your name to keep it simple

Unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked Me and my son were here last weekend. It's on my "faves" list now. Want to bring my boyfriend here too next year! We loved it. Super clean all of the time, even when it got busy. And lovely and quiet. There was a festival right in the next field, you wouldn't have known it! Huge amount of room. And the owners were very welcoming.

Disliked None

Liked Good welcome on arrival, flat pitches, space for children to play, easy to walk and drive from the site. Cleanest portaloos (seperate men and women which may have helped!) Warm showers and a bonus wash up stand which i hadn't expected - complete with vase of flowers.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

Work your way outwards, starting with the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (five minutes’ drive) and the Romantic-style Highcliffe Castle (five minutes). The beach has access to the beach and a nature reserve, but for more cool habitats and wild animals, Hengistbury Head (20 minutes) should also be on your radar. Milford on Sea (15 minutes) is also just over the way. There, you’ll certainly get your watersports fix. There are ferries to Hurst Castle, an artillery fort at sea with links to the formidable Henry VIII. Further along the coast is the sailing hub of Lymington (20 minutes). To the north, your New Forest adventures might include the Go Ape course and cycling trails in the Moors Valley Country Park & Forest (half an hour). To the south, perhaps a big day out in Bournemouth (25 minutes), where surfing, kayaking and cycles on the prom might keep you occupied?
