Fish Ponds Bottom

Fish Pond's Bottom is a different camping experience, a place to get away from it all. It is a family run, quiet, peaceful camp site. We have spacious pitches spread over a 3 1/2 acre site of mixed woodland and pasture. This is a 'real' campers site and we do not accommodate large groups. We do not allow music on site and ask campers to be quiet between 11.00p.m. and 9.00a.m.

The field is an excellent place for star gazing on a clear night. If you catch a full moon it is quite 'magical'.

We are keen environmentalists and all facilities at Fish Ponds Bottom reflect this.

The compost loo and outdoor shower have been built using reclaimed or recycled materials whenever possible. We have made this a feature of our campsite.

The facilities include:

•Compost loo
•Hot Shower wth a 'difference'
•Sink for washing up
•Water stand pipe

We allow camp fires by prior arrangement only. We have fire baskets which can be hired and sell bags of logs with kindling saving you the bother of taking home large dirty items.

Very well behaved dogs are welcome - please keep them on a lead on whilst on site and clear up after them. Dogs can be walked freely in the Forest which is just outside gate.

Fish Ponds Bottom is in the New Forest National Park

It is a haven for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. Hale is on the northern edge of the New Forest National Park, a quieter part of the New Forest and a great place from which to explore both the National Park and surrounding area.

You can just walk out onto the Forest from Fish Ponds Bottom or explore the great variety of scenery the New Forest has to offer by cycle or car. There are many cycle paths across the Forest and cycles can be hired nearby. There are several country pubs offering good food within walking distance and two well stocked village shops nearby.

Leaving the Forest, Stonehenge and historic Salisbury are to the north and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in Dorset is only 45 minutes away to the South.
