  • Small and friendly family-run site in the New Forest National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to New Forest Water Park; half an hour to the coast
  • Barbecues, wood and fuel sold on site and a pub just down the road
Whether it’s glades, moors or clifftops you've got your sights set on, walking and cycling are quite the treat in the New Forest National Park… and handily, Tom’s Field is a friendly place to start your engine, with New Forest Water Park 10 minutes’ drive away and beaches half an hour away in case you fancy a plunge down into the seaside. This is a small, family-run site, open on weekends and bank holidays only, with the family around the site most of the time so that you can count on a helping hand if you need it. The local community shop visits the site each morning to bring fresh bread and basic groceries and the site also sells wood and barbecue fuel (and hires out barbecues or fire buckets). Of course, you’ll be able to grab any extras you need from the wide range of shops in Fordingbridge, 10 minutes’ drive away. There’s wild swimming in the river Avon here, by the way, so you might want to wear your swimming gear. You won’t have to go off site to treat yourself to some forest scenery either, as the site looks over the woodlands and has access to an open heath and forest land where there are New Forest ponies and cows roaming around. If you’re searching for somewhere to be waited on, the site’s local pub is only 15 minutes’ walk away down the road. There are three more that you can get to with a little longer hike, between 45 minutes’ and an hour’s walk away.

Graham E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We go camping a lot at various sites in the UK and this campsite was the best we stayed at so far. Absolutely fantastic in every way! It was peaceful and quiet even though the campsite was full. The facilities were clean and close by (0.5 minute walk), tap with drinking water and a hose right behind our pitch (very handy for hosing down the dogs after they had a swim in the sea), the site well maintained, pitches not too big but the size was perfect for what we needed. There's a pub down the road but very pricey so we ended up ordering a pizza from a pizza van at the campsite (which was lovely by the way!). We loved the location - lots of hikes available directly from the campsite which both dogs and their humans loved. Fordingbridge is 5-10 minutes drive away and has plenty of shops, cafes, pubs, and a lovely walk by the river. The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them, they accommodated all our requests and last-minute changes without any problems. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Nick B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Generous pitch sizes, well marked out. We stayed in the lower part of the field (W10) which was more private and closer to toilets and shower area. Friendly and welcoming on arrival. Well maintained and owners regularly checking everything was ok. Provided us with rubbish/recycling bags on arrival. Local pub close by, expensive but amazing food. 10 minutes drive into the village with shops for groceries. Lovely views and sunset over the fields. Quiet after 10.30pm and could hear the owls. Fridge and freezer for general use came in very handy. Plenty of taps near each pitch. Never had to wait for showers or toilets. Firepit and wood available for hire. Saved us taking ours.

Disliked: Not a dislike but difficult to get into a few spots in the ground. Bent a few tent pegs but not a problem.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I have never stayed at a campsite with such spotlessly clean shower & toilet facilities. So many little extra touches, like a bowl with shampoo & shower gels people may have left behind or not needed any more left by the shower block; lovely scented bottles of soap in all of the toilets; washing up liquid at all the sinks etc. Bbq's; firepits; wood, even firelighters & matches all on site at amazingly good value prices to add to the ambience of camp living. The staff could not have been more helpful; Jonny in particular. They even let you charge your phones at the reception barn!!!! The mobile traditional pizza oven & ice cream van that visited the site were a wonderful surprise, we used both & my boys (aged 11 & 13) loved both. Such friendly people staying there too, everyone around the site chatted with us or helped us in little ways throughout our stay. Absolutely stunning location, you are surrounded by roaming horses at every gate/hedge you look over & the sunsets are to remember forever. We have already said we will definitely be back & for longer next year!!!!!!!
