Excellent location, set in the heart of The New Forest Red Shoot caravan park. A lovely site very friendly staff happy to accommodate to all of your needs. My partner was unwell with an ear infection and they helped us find a medical clinic close by to get antibiotics. The site has s maintained to the highest standard toilet and shower facilities are very clean. Nice large pitches also has an on-site shop with most things you need, very well stocked. At the entrance to the park there is a super pub restaurant called the Red Shoot Inn also very friendly with good menu and very dog friendly there are many other restaurant pub facilities close by. The surrounding area is beautiful with wild New Forest ponies running freely amongst other animals, such as cows and pigs. Ideal for lovely walks with the dog if you have one or just to take in the beautiful scenery. It was nature at its best in my opinion we loved our three days here and will definitely be returning. …

What a great site this is, being fairly local haven't stayed for a while but always recommend to friends visiting the New Forest. We recently upgraded from tent to campervan (after 30 years!) and wanted somewhere to test everything out and the lovely team were able to accommodate us at very short notice. The park is very tidy, toilets and showers really clean and the welcome warm. Love a park that does freshly baked goods and coffee, and I can honestly say they have the best almond croissants!! Perfectly situated for walking on the forest and with a pub literally a few steps away it ticks all the boxes

Been coming here on and off for about 15 years. Doesn't change much from the past. Friendly staff, clean facilities and a well stock shop. Great location in the New Forest. We just chilled out on site and used the pub on it's doorstep a couple of times. Why four stars?. The chemical (toilet) waste area is long due a upgrade. A concrete basin which has a wire mesh, a low pressure water hose and a bog brush is not ideal. Will we be back. For sure.

This was our first visit on a passing recommendation from a work colleague. Really lovely setting with clean facilities, helpful, friendly staff and fantastic pastries for breakfast. Easy access to great walks, cycle routes and pubs, especially the one on it's doorstep. A little gem we shall be returning to soon. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

Just had the best long weekend at Red Shoot camping park. Such a very clean site (shower, toilet) super friendly and helpful staff. Well stocked shop on site for anything you might have forgotten to bring, and the bonus of having freshly baked rolls pastries etc every morning, right in the middle of the beautiful new forest. Great pub next door, good food, reasonably priced and the live music was an added bonus. If you love camping this is definitely the place to visit. So looking forward to another visit next year. Well done to all at Red Shoot and thank you, keep it going! 👌

Had a great relaxing break at Redshoot and already planning to return for two weeks instead of one for next years holiday. One thing did cause me to query though which has nothing to do with the park itself but the pizza van facility that was there on the Saturday evening. And wanted to warn others before buying 12" Pizzas are charged at £8 and £10 and garlic bread at £5 which we considered good value until returning with one of each to find that the garlic bread was actually half of a 12" pizza . On returning to enquire re this i was informed that that is what they supply..however there is no mention of this on any price list. Left me flummoxed and a tad disappointed.

Hi Graham, 12 years, where has all that time gone? We loved having your family with us again, it's been a pleasure to watch your boys growing up and to see your shirts getting louder and louder as the time has gone on! We all look forward to seeing you again next year. Maybe you'll be driving a Ferrari in 2024?
