Drone image from above of Avon Tyrrell's lakeside camping and main house, with trees and blue skies

Peaceful site surrounded by lakes, on the edge of the New Forest
Bookable activities including high ropes, climbing and abseiling
Play area, table tennis, café and shop; toilet blocks with hot showers

Set up camp for a night or several at Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre and Campsite set in 65 acres in the New Forest, for guaranteed busy days among a wide range of forest adventures. Among the outdoor adventures and field study activities here (which must be booked in advance and are subject to availability), you can try high and low ropes, climbing and abseiling, archery, zipwire and heaps more under the eyes of its experienced instructors – or take yourself off under your own guidance for orienteering, treasure hunting, mountain biking and fishing in its lush surrounding lakes.... Happily, a café serving the likes of jacket potatoes, paninis etc is here too so that adventurers don't have far to forage when it comes to light bites, and if you need a day off from all the action the site also has a play area and free wifi. (Table tennis and kid-sized bouldering walls are around too if you really can't help yourself...) The several amenities blocks are well equipped with a toilet block with hot showers, a baby-changing room and washing-up facilities. A small shop is to hand for basic supplies, but both Bransgore and Burley are only two miles away if you need anything else – maybe see how fast you can run there and back...?

Tony P. Apr 2025

Primitive grass campsite (no pets, lake view)

Liked: We went as a family of 2 adults, 3 children, and a dog. The pitch was a perfect size, that we managed to fit our large tent and car in.

The customer service was excellent on arrival. Very friendly and informative. We were also allowed to choose what plot, because it wasn't too busy.

The facilities were excellent, with plenty of hand soap and toilet roll, were clean, had clean drinking water (we found very helpful), and sinks to clean cooking equipment.

It is a good location for going on long nature walks, just make sure to take suitable shoes if you choose that option.

Good level of discipline, as site was quiet come 10pm. However, that would depend on who is visiting and I imagine what time of year, but I have been told that wardens patrol the site to make sure rules are followed.

Overall, I would rate my stay a 5 star, because it was exactly what I wanted in a camp site.

Melanie M. Apr 2025

Powered grass campsite (no pets, lake view)

Liked: Excellent place to stay. So many great activities, especially for kids. We did high ropes and archery, the I structors were brilliant. We were also there for the Easter trail, which meant they could also go on the climbing wall and kayaking as part of that (although the site does become busy as external visitors come in).
Toilet/shower blocks were clean and well kept.
A big communal campfire was lit every night, great for marshmallow roasting.
Good location
Friendly helpful staff

Disliked: Our pitch was quite uneven with lots of holes and it took us quite a bit of time to get it even.
Toilet/shower blocks at the boathouse are mixed gender, it was fine but could be off putting for some.

Local attractions

Several bike tracks start directly from the site, so pack a picnic and head off into the New Forest to find your own adventure – perhaps you might fancy a pedal to the Dorset and Hampshire beaches of Christchurch, Mideford, Southbourne or Highcliffe...? The sands of Bournemouth are about 10 miles away. Around the New Forest, the many places to see include the New Forest Wildlife Park in Southampton, an ancient natural woodland and wildlife haven (look out for otters and owls); the award-winning National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, and Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre at Ringwood. Pipsqeaks have the home of Peppa Pig World at Paultons Family Theme Park 30 minutes away for actively exciting day out, as well as the hands-on activities and indoor and outdoor play areas of Longdown Dairy Farm in Southampton and the Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester. Naturally, they might like trekking with a New Forest pony too.
