New Forest — your starting point for adventure

In the heart of England, close to the M4 and M5 — New Forest is the perfect starting point for your campervan trip. Whether you're heading to in the New Forest, on the Dorset Coast or in the Cotswolds: you'll be on the motorway in minutes.

Explore New Forest — before your adventure begins

Picking up your campervan in New Forest? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — New Forest has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.

The New Forest vibe

The New Forest operates on its own unhurried clock. Ponies wander through villages like Brockenhurst and Burley as if they own the place — which, in a sense, they do, having roamed these heathlands for centuries under commoners' grazing rights. The character here is shaped by small communities where everyone knows the local farrier and the pub landlord. Lyndhurst, the unofficial capital, has a quiet high street with art galleries and tea rooms that feel a world away from motorway service stations. It is the kind of place that sets the tone perfectly before heading off on a campervan adventure.

Local food and markets

Lymington's Saturday market on the high street is a proper affair, with Hampshire charcuterie, New Forest venison, and local honey from Forest apiaries. The New Forest Marque scheme connects visitors to producers across the area, and farm shops like Setley Ridge near Brockenhurst sell everything from smoked trout to seasonal chutneys. Pick up a bottle from the New Forest Cider at Littlemead before your trip — it pairs perfectly with an evening parked up under the stars in your Camplify motorhome.

Parks and green spaces

The entire New Forest is essentially one vast green space — nearly 220 square miles of ancient woodland, open heathland, and quiet bogs. The Tall Trees Trail near Rhinefield is a gentle walk through towering Douglas firs and giant redwoods, while Hatchet Pond offers a peaceful waterside spot with views across open heath. For something more adventurous, the Ober Water walk from Puttles Bridge winds through oak woodland alive with birdsong. These trails make for a perfect warm-up before picking up your campervan and exploring the South Coast.

• Shower and WC (on many models)

• Camping chairs, table and awning for outdoors

Little extras for an unforgettable experience

Many owners in New Forest include extras: a coffee maker, Bluetooth speaker, camping crockery or even a bike rack. Check the listing for full details — or message the owner through the Camplify messaging system.

Travelling with pets?

Many Camplify owners welcome dogs and other pets. Use the pet-friendly filter to find vehicles where your four-legged friend is welcome. Some owners even provide dog bowls and blankets.
