Where to go
South Downs National Park
With over 3,300 kilometres of hiking, biking, horseback riding, and paddling trails, South Downs National Park is considered one of Britain’s Breathing Spaces. Set up at on-site tent and caravan pitches, farmstays, shepherd huts, or yurts, many of which include amenities like hookups, firepits, and picnic tables. Take in tree-covered canopies and open hillsides, or get a sky view while hang-gliding or paragliding into South Downs. As a designated International Dark Sky Reserve, campers can experience rare sightings of celestial bodies and constellations right from the campsites.
Chichester Harbour Area of Natural Beauty
Cruise southeast to the coast and visit Chichester Harbour Area of Natural Beauty. Popular for boating and bird watching, the undeveloped land of Chichester Harbour consists of a series of tidal inlets and wind-worn oaks leading to the sea. Book an organised boat trip on Solar Heritage or Terror to learn more about the harbour and its history. Despite a lack of on-site camping, private holiday parks and campsites are available less than a kilometre from the AONB. They include full hookups, laundry facilities, showers, and wifi.
New Forest National Park
Wander through the majestic trees and wildlife sanctuaries of New Forest National Park. On-site tent pitches and caravan sites are maintained by Camping in the Forest, alongside private holiday parks and cottage rentals that surround the park. Trek through epic redwoods and Douglas Firs on Tall Trees Trail, or enjoy a scenic trip in the motorhome along Rhinefield Ornamental Drive. Get a glimpse of rare species at New Forest’s sanctuaries, especially the Dartford warbler, New Forest ponies, southern damselfly, and the adder—Britain's only poisonous snake.
