Located in the heart of the New Forest, just 5 miles from the picturesque market town of Ringwood, the Red Shoot Camping Park is a well equipped family run touring site.
Our facilities are newly refurbished with showers and toilets, a well stocked shop, fully equipped laundry, play area for the children and disabled facilities. Adjacent is the Red Shoot Inn, a traditional country pub welcoming families.
The Red Shoot Camping Park is situated in one of the most attractive and unspoilt parts of the New Forest. It lies behind the Red Shoot Inn on 4 acres of level and gently undulating ground, surrounded by the most magnificent forest scenery. With over 90,000 acres of woodland and heath, the New Forest is the perfect place for the nature lover, and an ideal base for walking and touring.
The site has been run by the same family for nearly 40 years, and you will be assured of attention to detail and a personal approach during your stay.
There is always a warm welcome at the Red Shoot Inn, where a wide range of bar meals, real ales and country wines are served. The landlord personally brews several real ales, and twice a year, hosts a beer festival - the beer festivals for 2008 will be on the weekends of 25th-27th April and 3rd-5th October.
Many interesting places can be reached from the Red Shoot Camping Park. Ringwood, with its Wednesday market, just 5 miles away; 7 miles of golden sand at Bournemouth; the Priory and town of Christchurch; Lymington for the Isle of Wight ferry; the historic cities of Salisbury and Winchester, and the naval history of Portsmouth, may all be reached by car in 30-40 minutes. A little further afield lies the Hardy country of Dorset. Nearer to base, there are many forest trails to explore, horse riding, and excellent fishing.
All our pitches are on grass, 46 of which have electrical hook ups.
Our shop, which is open 7 days a week, stocks fresh, frozen and canned foods, groceries, milk, bread, newspapers, camping equipment, a variety of games, toys and souvenirs, local produce, and has a license to sell wines and beers. An ice pack service is run from the shop.
The newly refurbished toilet block is bright and pleasant, and houses showers and toilets, hot and cold water to all wash basins, hair drier in the ladies, and shaver points in the gents. There are also separate facilities for the disabled, a family wash room and a chemical toilet disposal point. Constant attention is paid by the owners to maintain a high standard of cleanliness.
The laundry provides automatic washing machines and spin and tumble driers. Ironing and baby bathing facilities are available. The laundry room is where you will find a wide range of information on local attractions and activities to help you make the most of your time at the Red Shoot.
An undercover area is provided with hot water at sinks and drainers for dish-washing. You will need your own washing up bowl as sink plugs are not supplied.
The play area includes a sandpit, rope climbing frame and activity castle with firemans pole, rope bridge and swing bridge.
Dogs are most welcome, but of course must be kept on leads and not allowed to foul in the site.
