About Shamba Holiday Park
Tucked just off the A31 near Ringwood, Shamba Holiday Park strikes a fine balance between New Forest exploration and seaside escapes to Bournemouth. Families gravitate here for the heated indoor pool, play areas, and an arcade-equipped clubhouse that keeps younger campers happily occupied during school holidays and select weekends. The friendly team earn consistent praise, and prices remain reassuringly affordable—a genuine draw in this corner of Hampshire.
That said, some visitors note the facilities can feel a little tired in places, so expectations should lean toward cheerful functionality rather than pristine polish. Electric and non-electric grass pitches sit alongside hardstanding options, while the bar, games room, and on-site shop cover most immediate needs. With the New Forest's ancient woodlands minutes away and coastal days within easy reach, Shamba offers a straightforward, well-connected base for families who value activity and accessibility over boutique frills.

What visitors say
Been Here A Few Times - This year is clearly different, NO loud families with feral children, NO loitering drunks, No drama, NO Penny And Steve! Was shocked to them leave - and wish them well. New staff are friendly, and the facilities are always kept clean and tidy. There was a lovely chap with a German Shepherd who was so helpful when we got stuck, i don't know his name but would say thanks if i saw him again! Great Time Will Book Again!

We came here for a weekend and can’t really fault it, we all had a lovely weekend. Everyone was friendly, the toilets and showers were clean. There was a little shop on site that had what we needed. We didn’t use the club house however it looked good. We all loved the pool nice and warm and no restrictions on time in the pool or booking in advance. We would deffo come back for another weekend or longer. Also lots food places that deliver locally. Didn’t explore off the site this time however if we book back for longer we will do

Our stay at Shamba Campsite was truly wonderful, all thanks to Steve and Penny. They are genuinely kind and welcoming hosts who go out of their way to make sure everything is just right. The campsite has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. It’s clear how much care and thought they put into creating such a special place. Their friendly nature and excellent service made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We had a brilliant time and can't wait to return!! Highly recommended!
