As with anywhere in England, wild camping is not permitted without the landowner's express permission, and this applies within the New Forest too, where camping is restricted to licensed sites to protect the fragile grazing land and its commoning traditions — pitching up informally on the open forest is both illegal and actively discouraged by the Forestry Commission. Fortunately there is no shortage of proper sites close to town. Sandy Balls Holiday Village, just outside Fordingbridge on the banks of the River Avon, is the best known, offering touring and camping pitches alongside lodges and glamping options set among mature woodland, with direct access to the river and forest trails. Several Forestry England campsites within the wider New Forest, along with smaller farm-based and certified sites in villages such as Godshill, Hyde and Breamore, extend the choice for tents, campervans and caravans alike. The terrain around Fordingbridge is generally level and easy going, with the Avon Valley providing gentle riverside walking and cycling, while the New Forest proper adds rougher heathland tracks and woodland trails a little further south. Late spring to early autumn is the best season for camping here, when the forest is driest underfoot and evenings are long enough for exploring; ground can be wet in winter, particularly near the river. For those who prefer a roof over their heads without giving up the outdoor feel, glamping options — from safari tents to shepherd's huts — are increasingly available at sites around Fordingbridge and across the wider New Forest, offering a comfortable middle ground between hotel and tent.
