A scenic view of Hamsterley Forest

Summer is the most popular time to visit Hamsterley Forest, but it can get busy. Set out early to snag a parking spot and get a jump on the crowds. Outdoor activities are possible year-round, and it’s worth revisiting to make the most of each season. Come in spring to stroll through the bluebell woods, in fall to admire the changing leaves, or in winter for crisp walks through the snow. Hamsterley Forest has outdoor adventures for all ages.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
