Setthorns Camping in the Forest

Alan Rogers Review of Setthorns Camping in the Forest

Setthorns Camping in the Forest is a secluded, back to basics, site surrounded by woodland. Throughout you will come across paths branching off in various directions which you can follow to explore the area, either on foot or by bicycle. With direct access from the campsite, the nearby disused railway line is a great place to start. Guests of Setthorn may be lucky enough to experience a visit from the local New Forest ponies and deer wandering through. Nearby are the seaside resorts of Barton on Sea and Bournemouth. The site has 235 grass or hardstanding pitches (some seasonal), a few have electric hook-up. There are no shower or toilet facilities on this site.

Beyond the site, there are plenty of attractions in the local area, including the New Forest Reptile Centre, Hurst Castle, Hurst Point Lighthouse and the Red House Museum & Gardens, which is a must see for archaeology or geology enthusiasts. Close to the villages of Sway and Brockenhurst there are plenty of restaurants, craft shops and pubs to keep everyone entertained.
