Acres Down Farm

Acres Down Farm is a quiet, working farm campsite set within the New Forest National Park near Lyndhurst, Hampshire, sitting close to Bagshot Gutter.

The farm keeps beef cattle, pigs, sheep, and ducks, offering a genuine taste of rural life, particularly for younger visitors.

Surrounding the site are ancient woodland, wild heathland, and rolling countryside that form part of the historic 900-year-old royal hunting forest.

The campsite is simple and unfussy — guests pitch where they like in a small field, with basic toilet facilities and a standpipe for water.

Its greatest asset is direct access to forest paths, making it an ideal base for walking and cycling without needing to drive. Birdwatchers will find the area rewarding, and the nearby Acres Down hill itself is a noted local walk.
