Caravanners looking for a last-minute getaway to the south of England this Easter have been given a boost with the news that a popular range of campsites in the New Forest are reopening for the season after a winter of renovations.
The ten sites of the Camping New Forest family are welcoming guests from March 26th, with some of the locations featuring refreshed facilities and more family-friendly activities.
Across all sites, eco-friendly initiatives such as improved recycling and water saving systems have been implemented to reflect Camping New Forest’s commitment to sustainability, while upgraded showers, expanded play areas and additional glamping options have been added in several locations.
Denis Dooley, CEO of Camping New Forest, said: “We’re expecting another busy season as more people holiday closer to home. Investing in our sites helps us improve facilities, protect the environment, support local communities, and deliver educational experiences for visitors of all ages.”
As well as camping options and caravan pitches in the heart of one of England’s prettiest forest landscapes, visitors to the sites will have the opportunity to learn more about the local area and the unique environment of the New Forest in a series of guided activities.
Offerings include guided daytime and evening walks that aim to showcase the National Park’s habitats and wildlife. These include twilight bat spotting and listening for tawny owls and nightjars during summer nights. Amongst the other activities are short, family-friendly wildlife rambles and drop-in activity sessions at selected campsites.
Camping New Forest’s locations include Aldridge Hill, Ashurst, Denny Wood, Hollands Wood, Holmsley, Longbeech, Matley Wood, Ocknell, Roundhill and Setthorns. Denny Wood is reopening after a year-long break, offering a back-to-basics camping experience within the New Forest National Park.
