About Holmsley Caravan and Camping Site
Tucked into the New Forest near Christchurch, Holmsley makes an excellent base for families keen to explore woodland trails by foot or bike. The site's well-stocked shop and takeaway save trips into town, while clean, accessible facilities and a play area keep everyone comfortable. Staff here are notably friendly and helpful, adding to the relaxed atmosphere that suits both tents and motorhomes.
With over 280 pitches spread across open grassland, space can feel tight during busy periods, so don't expect total seclusion. That said, the forest setting more than compensates—ponies often wander past, and you're minutes from some of southern England's loveliest cycling and walking country. Dogs are welcome year-round, barbecues are permitted, and there's even a motorhome service point for tourers passing through Dorset's quieter corners.

What visitors say
Wow! What a fantastic time our family had. Both my 9 and 7 year old children really enjoyed the time spent meeting new friends using the safe playground offered. Toilets and showers kept clean by friendly and dedicated staff. And the shop, well such friendly and committed staff that were generally pleased to see me at any occasion. Well stocked with reasonable prices considering you are a few miles away from the nearest co-op. Thank you so much Holmsley for a memorable stay. See you next time!

Arrived for our four night stay and was met by friendly staff who accommodated our needs. Our EHU grass pitch (15) shown to us by Richard, a great guy and our putch was spot on. As it was a bank holiday its was pretty busy so this put more load on Jacqueline who is one of the domestic cleaners (lovely lady). Some visitors abuse the facilities which makes life more difficult for the wardens of the site. The shop is stocked very well but can be a little pricey on some items. Great place for walking and cycling around the New forest. Highly recommended .

Holmsley is a welcoming campsite. Staff are friendly. Shop has everything you need. Toilets are clean and tidy. If your after something quiet stay near the edges, As there is children's play area near the shop. We had a lovely walk to the village of Burley through the heathland. Lots of walks in other directions aswell. We will be coming back.
