Booking
Book ahead

A back-to-basics site on open heath and woodland near Fritham, taking tents, trailer tents, caravans and motorhomes. There are toilets and water taps but no showers, and rock pegs help on the hard ground. Ponies roam freely, so keep food sealed and do not feed them.

Good to know

  • Bring rock pegs
  • Sat navs can send you to Fritham village; follow the campsite signs instead
  • Gates are locked from 10pm to 7:30am
Open
