  • 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.

jo h.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Nice hot shower unit that worked well, but should have 1 per field. Level grass. Dog friendly and nice fellow campers. Nice to enjoy the stars as no light pollution. For those that wanted, nice touch at weekend with pizza van and ice cream man.

Disliked Dissapointing that this was a very basic campsite and was not getting the basics right- regular emptying of portaloo toilets at a bank holiday weekend. By sunday night they were all full and monday no chance of using the toilet. Poor rubbish collection option (no recycling just food and non food) and no big bins so naturally people were leaving a mound of rubbish. Only 1 washing up area for 2 fields so always ques for that area. There were plenty of taps but with no area to put your things was tricky to wash at the taps as they were solely there for drinking water really. Simple set up and didn't get much for the price paid.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Simple and relaxed camping. Toilets were relatively clean and there was an on-site pizza truck that was there both nights we stayed. There was also an ice cream van one day.

Graeme B.

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked Nice location.
Friendly staff.
Pizzas!

Disliked Pricey.
Not in that in Nature- more like a festival! Not enough loos/showers for the madness of the bank holiday weekend. Should limit provision really to maintain space and vibe.
Lots of traffic with kids playing. No visible fire kit - accident waiting to happen in this tinder dry spell.

Primitive grass and earth RV campsite

Liked Great location! Everybody was good at following and being respectful of the campsite rules

Disliked I did think £35 for a tiny 2 person tent was steep for a field

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Well that’s funny because it’s £25 again you are the lady that booked a campervan trying to convince me it’s a tent what a joke

Friendly site, busy but lots of friendly people

Helen W.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Everything! The owner was very welcoming. Showers/washing facilities were great and kept clean. Toilets were fine too, kept clean and stocked.
Such a nice site, lovely walks for the dogs.
Loved the people playing drums in the next field, also the added bonus of having the pizza van on the Saturday was brilliant too as it was too dry to BBQ. (Amazing pizzas by the way)
Great for star gazing too.
Gutted we had to leave, but we can't wait too book up again!

From the manager: Wow thanks so much. It really pleased me to hear you lovely feedback

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?
