Dog-friendly pop-up site in a spacious ten-acre field
A 10-minute drive from beaches and 15 minutes from Milford on Sea
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, part of Coast & Country Camping Club in Hampshire
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 as well as shopping in local villiages.
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.
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 Hampshire 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.

Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling.

Absolutely gorgeous site with lovely views and a quiet calming feel. Charlotte is a fantastic host and gave us a personal tour of the campsite which is generously large and spacious. The drinking water on site was delicious and the kids loved the swing. We will definitely be back again

My partner and I have a crazy 2026 Resolution to camp at least one night per month all year. We work in Bristol, and booked Oxwick due to its easy access location from us as we were leaving after work on a Friday.
We arrived to Oxwick Farm in the evening sunshine and were in awe! The grounds are gorgeous, and driving past the old 1702 Georgian main house was quite breathtaking.
Catherine was so quick and friendly to respond to my messages, and we were welcomed by Nigel on arrival who gave us a quick tour, and invited us to poke around. The venue is really fun - it is also used for festivals (Inglefest - which we will be looking into) and also is equipped for weddings (which would be gorgeous). Bohemian, relaxed country vibes. Very pretty! They have glamping pods on sight which are so cute inside, and they have an outdoor ‘kitchen/barn’ which is fully equipped for making a full dinner (put our jetboil to shame, although I am not complaining because there is nothing quite like having a kettle for coffee in the morning 20m from your tent, I must say.
We actually ended up with the whole place to ourselves, and spent a lovely evening watching the sunset, and calm morning reading. What a way to tick off our May camp!
Thank you Nigel & Catherine for sharing with us. Definitely visit if you get the chance!

Had a lovely stay over may bank holiday. A warm welcome from the owners and staff, nice areas to pitch right next to the river. We also enjoyed cream teas in the garden and bought the bbq pack and breakfast pack which were delicious. Lovely ducks and chicken and a lovely walk along the river. Nice cider too . Clean and tidy toilets and shower blocks with plenty of hot water. Overall a lovely place to visit and will definitely book again soon.

Great experience. Easy to find, directions were clear. Very hospitable hosts, it was always easy to find someone if we had any queries. Busy with lots of families but still big enough that we could have a quiet peaceful pitch (staying as a couple, no kids/pets). Facilities were clean and great to use. Would stay again.

When to go
These woodlands are photo-ready at any time of year. Visit in spring when bluebells and wildflowers blanket the forest floor, or in fall when the autumn leaves transform the trees into a sea of red, yellow, and orange. Summer (July-Aug) weekends can get busy—make an early start to avoid the crowds and snag a picnic bench. The trails can get muddy when it rains, so wellies or hiking boots are a good idea.
Know before you go
- Savernake Forest is located about a 10-minute drive south of Marlborough along the A346. The main entrance is at Postern Hill at the northwest end of the park, where free parking is available.
- There is no entrance fee to visit the forest.
- The forest has picnic and barbecue areas, and restrooms (open from Easter through October only). There are no other facilities within the park, so bring everything you need with you.
- There are some paved paths in the forest that are accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
