New Forest Caravan Parks
I can recommend to you.

New Forest Caravan Park at Gorse Farm, Godshill.

Caravan Parks in the beautiful New Forest are many and varied. I will recommend some to you which I know of personally, and have visited frequently.

Facilities will vary but as long as you are in the New Forest, you should really enjoy your stay.

One of my favourite sites, because it has good facilities and is in a good location is

Gorse Farm Caravan Park Here's why I would recommend it:

  • A clean, well run site with imaculate pitches
  • Modern, centrally heated amenity block with showers and washing cubicles
  • Electric hook up on all pitches
  • Chemical disposal, and dustbins and recycling facilities
  • Calor gas for sale on site - and fresh eggs for breakfast!
  • Fishing on the nearby River Avon or Ringwood Lakes
  • Water Sports nearby
  • Bike hire and cycling repair very close
  • Nearby visits to Salisbury, the coast at Mudeford, the beautiful Tudor Manor - Braemore House are all within quite short distances and well worth a day out
  • Nearby facilities you can use: swimming pool, well stocked shop, leisure, pampering, Bistro - all at the nearby large Holiday Centre - Sandy Balls Holiday Centre

New Forest Caravan Park at Gorse Farm, Godshill- centrally heated amenity block.

My review:

This is a peaceful, beautifully managed and maintained caravan park site which is ideally situated for you to experience the New Forest close at hand.

It's probably best to walk or cycle - although there are some quite serious hills, which make it all the more fun!

Even in mid winter I have never turned up at Gorse Farm Caravan Park without seeing a couple of caravans on site, which speaks for itself.

This is an area of the New Forest where you are very likely to bump into some New Forest donkeys and many of my own photos of donkeys have been taken around this area.

If you set off from Gorse Farm either the easy way, by car or on your bike or on foot and head for the village of Hyde you are bound to see at least a couple.

An added bonus is that there is a shop at Hyde and a Tea Room - well worth the effort of cycling!

There is also a spectacular view from the ridge at Frogham and if you are feeling really fit you can cycle all the way to Fritham and have a great lunch at this lovely New Forest pub The Royal Oak at Fritham is a lovely pub with great food - give it a try!

Gorse Farm is dog friendly under the usual rules of dog ownership - ie. make sure you clean up, don't leave your dog in your caravan and keep them on a lead, which is fair.

This is a working farm yard entrance which needs care when coming on and off the caravan park. However, the pitches are well set back and quietly located, and you should see some truly stunning sunsets at the end of the day when you are settling down with a nice glass of wine!
