This summer, we decided to switch things up from our usual touring caravan trips and opted for a seasonal pitch at Ocknell Campsite in the stunning New Forest—and what a fantastic decision that turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how immaculately clean and tidy the entire site is. The pitches are large and generously spaced, offering a sense of openness and privacy at the same time. There’s no shortage of beautiful open space to enjoy, and the setting truly immerses you in the natural beauty of the New Forest. If you’re into walking, the forest walks here are out of this world—each one feels like an adventure, with wildlife and stunning scenery all around. The team at Ocknell really make the experience special. The staff are friendly, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything is just right. A special thanks to Gavin (Assistant Manager), who made our stay even more enjoyable. His attention to detail and warm approach made us feel welcome from day one. We’ve had a wonderful summer at Ocknell and met some amazing people along the way, which has added to the overall experience. Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone at the site for making it such an incredible place to spend the season. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with plenty of space and endless forest trails to explore, Ocknell Campsite is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be back!

Friendly rangers and people at the shop were very nice and friendly. Toilets and places to wash dishes was well maintained. First time camping here (camping in general) and my young family and I had a great time. Lots of horses, foal, donkeys roaming freely. Scenery is absolutely beautiful and well preserved. Will be back next year.

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst exploring the New forest. It's a large campsite offering toilet facilities only, no shower block. Campsite is clean and they allow you to select your own pitch. Wild ponies do walk freely around the campsite. Dogs are welcome.

What a place! The pitches are perfect and the rangers check in with all campers daily. No electric or water hook ups but there are water taps and chemical toilet disposal points throughout the site. The toilet block is always clean and the water is hotter than hell. Now for the best bit. The animals, donkey, dear, horse and cow wonder freely through the camp bringing you nose to nose with nature in its own environment. The absolute silence at night is addictive and the sound of wind in the trees is music to my ears.
