Riverside Camping in the Heart of the Forest
Beaulieu River Camping is a low-key campsite on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the heart of the New Forest. The site has spacious grass pitches beneath oak trees, with the river providing a natural boundary and a swimming spot for dogs.
Dogs are welcome on all pitches. The surrounding forest is accessible directly from the site, with miles of tracks through ancient woodland and open heath. New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys wander freely through the campsite.
The site is deliberately basic: no electric hook-ups, no shop, no entertainment. Just space, nature and quiet. This is camping as it should be, perfect for dogs and their owners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can dogs swim in the river?
Yes, the Beaulieu River is shallow and gentle at this point, ideal for dog swimming. Access the river from the campsite boundary.
Are New Forest ponies dangerous to dogs?
The ponies are generally docile but can kick if startled. Keep dogs under control and do not allow them to approach or chase ponies. It is an offence to disturb New Forest livestock.
