Hollands Wood New Forest campsite has lots for me to recommend to you. It has 600 pitches and you can camp in a tent, caravan or motorhome. It’s really good for a family holiday and has won the Silver David Bellamy Award for Conservation for two years running.
Here are just a few reasons why I would recommend it to you.
The setting
If you haven’t stayed at a New Forest campsite to camp before you won’t believe just what a lovely experience it can be. I turned up at Longbeech Campsite the other day to take some photos and even I was envious of the campers relaxing amongst the New Forest ponies and wildlife.
Hollands Wood is set in mature oak woods but not far away you can walk across the forest and go into more open country. As dusk falls you will see the New Forest deer as they start to wander around and they are a wonderful sight to see - but very shy so you have to be quiet. It is close to a stream which meanders through the edge of Brockenhurst and dogs and children ( and Mums and Dads too! ) like a paddle.
An added bonus with Hollands Wood campsite is that it also has a dog shower - so if the English weather is unkind and you come back a bit soggy (or muddy) you can hose your best friend down before they share your tent or caravan or motorhome - always to be recommended in the New Forest - I spend most of the winter “decanting” my lovely dog before she can be let indoors!
Pop campers are compact but are made to expand to enlarge the interior area. They usually weigh 2000 pounds or less making them perfect for smaller vehicles to not go over proper towing capacity requirements. Always to sure to check your cars owner’s manual or consult your local dealership to ensure that your vehicle can pull the camper safely and effectively. With pop campers also being smaller and lighter, they also help with the savings in fuel compared to towing larger travel trailers!
Pop campers provide comfortable accommodations that are much more secure then a tent. They usually come with netting or screens that allow of maximum air flow and light but will help keep unwanted critters and insects from getting to you or your food. They come with open screens as well as privacy screens for the windows so that other campers can’t see inside of your camper. Most campers will unfold at the ends creating two sleeping areas. These fold out sleeping areas range in size from a single sized bed to a king sized bed. A lot of the new campers have 2 king “fold out” beds. Usually, the dining area can also be converted into a sleeping area too. This is great for families with children as there is a lot of room for everyone!
Think of bringing items like pasta, and pulses. They will keep indefinitely and will not spoil, and are also versatile. Pulses make great additions to “one pot stews”, and pasta is great with a tomato sauce. Foil meals make great camping fayre because you can just place all ingredients like chicken or fish and top with fresh vegetables in a piece of tin foil, wrap it up and put it in the embers for approximately 20 mins or until done, Eureka!, an instant meal. Plan the night before what you are cooking and prep as much as you can. That way you will not have to start cooking from scratch when you have completed a hard day’s activities.
Personally I would prefer to cook, as in the end it would work out cheaper, and you know you are getting a healthy balanced meal and something that you enjoy as well. Yes it’s more work, but if you get your planning right, it really is no big deal
