  • Dog-friendly site in the grounds of an Edwardian country manor house
  • In the New Forest National Park, 15 minutes’ drive from beaches
  • Farm shops, pubs, cafés and train station within walking distance
You’ll be all set for a royally relaxing stay at Camping at the Manor in the New Forest National Park. Here, you’ll be dwelling in the grounds of an Edwardian country manor house where there are often wild deer to be seen roaming the grounds and occasionally the mad owner on his lawnmower ensuring that the pitches stay nicely trimmed. You’ll have plenty of space to make into your little hidey-hole, as the pitches are spread between three large fields, surrounded by mature trees and planting for extra privacy. They’re level-grounded too, so it shouldn’t be too tricky to set up your tent and you’ll have access to a composting toilet, a shower and a washing-up area. There’s a real treat in store when it comes to the world of food around this area, as New Milton (five minutes’ drive) lives up to its description as a market town. As well as regular shops, there are farm shops for local goodies and pubs, restaurants and cafés. Closer by, Ashley (35 minutes’ walk) has a small shop too. Of course, there are all the popular pubs and eateries around Sway, Milford on Sea, Hordle and New Forest too – many within a short drive of the site. Just let the site know if they can arrange any bookings on your behalf. Those of you planning on leaving the car behind won’t need to miss out, as local buses will take you to Bournemouth or Lymington and the train station in New Milton is just 40 minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

Highly recommended, friendly, relaxed site with a great vibe. Praised for spacious, flat pitches, clean facilities (hot showers!), and helpful hosts. On-site shop with pizzas/bacon rolls a bonus. Excellent for New Forest/beaches. Eco-friendly ethos appreciated. Minor queues/compost toilets noted.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Couldn’t recommend more. Great facilities, as well as some cooked breakfast bits and pizzas! You can rent your own fire pit, which we loved most. The staff made the experience though, very funny and so welcoming. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Lorna H.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Generously spaced level pitches. Hot showers.

Disliked No hot water for washing up, only one tap. Compost toilets were OK in the morning after cleaning but by the evening they were disgusting. Primitive shower facilities with nowhere to put anything other than one hook. Glad I had my flip flops as the space to step out of shower was a rough board surface which was not clean. Only one wash basin! Entry to campsite poorly visible, sign only visible at last minute, so dangerous if a car close behind. Difficult to turn out of site as traffic going faster than good for such a small lane with poor visibility. Entrance needs to be bigger. Not good value for money due to poor facilities. Booked because it was in a manor grounds, sounded calm and peaceful. This was missold as there was no sign of any manor at all and site is right beside a busy road.

Local attractions

Beach day, anyone? There are plenty of options for your daily dose of sand and sea. Milford on Sea beach (10 minutes’ drive) has very easy access in the high season. You might want to practise your bodyboarding at Highcliffe beach (15 minutes), paddle at Mudeford beach (15 minutes) or indulge in watersports at Avon beach (15 minutes). Other places for a dip (or a snooze and some sandcastle building if you’re feeling like a lazier day) are Sandbanks beach (45 minutes) and Boscombe beach (half an hour). Bournemouth (35 minutes) has plenty of seaside entertainment too, as well as an aquarium with a penguin enclosure. As for the quirky stuff, the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (five minutes) has a collection of restored motorcycles, including factory racers and exotic prototypes. Arty types might want to visit the Forest Arts Centre (five minutes) too. Put some peaceful walks in your plans too… there’s plenty to explore around the 24-acre Steamer Point Nature Reserve (15 minutes). It’s close to Highcliffe Castle (15 minutes), a grand Grade I-listed mansion that will add in some history.
