New Forest tents
Practise camping with a Ready Tent!
New Forest Ready Tents can't be hired on the Forestry Commission campsites for 2012. But you can still pitch up your own tent, unload the camping gear and enjoy fantastic locations in this beautiful UK National Park.
The Forestry Commission has many really popular camp sites within the forest boundary. Have a look at my
10 New Forest campsites
information.
However, what if you don't own a tent
What if you don't have any gear?
Don't know if you will like it?
and don't want to buy all the equipment without trying it first??
Don't worry I have a cunning plan!
Does the thought of a night under the stars under canvas make you feel you might be ending up like this pony - up to your ankles in water? Does it fill you with dread?
I can really relate to this as I was sure I would hate caravanning at first - we visited friends for the day and I was hooked - next purchase was a caravan!
I feel exactly the same about spending even one night under canvas!
READY TENTS AT THE SANDY BALLS HOLIDAY CENTRE may just be for you.
You don't have to spend a penny on buying a tent or other
camp site gear just turn up - how easy is that?
Here is a breakdown of the Ready Tent equipment and layout at Sandy Balls:
- 8 x 6 berth tents
- Bedroom and baggage store area with 6 single beds
- Dining area
- Kitchen area with stove-hob and grill-and fridge
- Cooler - probably not used extensively this summer!
- Crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils
You'll have to bring:
sleeping bags, towels, etc, just like normal sites in the forest.
I've seen the site and you will be on a good, thick waterproof membrane which also looked quite comfy and smooth to move about on.
To me this is the world of the outdoor life made easy on a really great New Forest location.
There are
more details
and Guest Services will run through any questions you may have.
No pets are allowed on this site so you wont be trying this out with Fido.
But, if you like it you may buy you own gear another year - what could be better?
Set out into the New Forest for an independent bout of camping or return to Sandy Balls Ready Tent pitches and get the best of both worlds.
You'll need a good map and the best one for the National Park is OS Explorer 22. Order one today!
Here are 2 sites I think you might find interesting and helpful.
Perfect Pitch Magazine
offers loads of info, stories, supplies and lots more for all your camping needs.
Pitchup.com
has sites, equipment etc. throughout the UK and reviews - some of which are very honest and very funny too! Don't book anywhere without looking at these.
If you want to search New Forest Life.com without using the navigation bars on the left, then here's a really useful Google tool.
Just put your search details e.g. pigs in the search box and hit Search and you can choose to search my site or go onto the Web and come back to NewForest-Life.com.
