Shamba Holidays, St Leonards, Ringwood, Hampshire

Shamba Holidays offers touring and camping facilities on a seven-acre level park, conveniently located off the A31. It is set in pleasant countryside down a private lane and is sheltered on all sides by hedging, trees or fencing.

The park appeals to country lovers and families who wish to enjoy the host of attractions that the local area has to offer. It is ideally situated to explore Hampshire and Dorset, and is close to the New Forest and Bournemouth with its shops, theatres and fine beaches. If it’s fishing, golfing or horseriding you are interested in, all can be found within a few hundred yards.

Shamba has 150 good-sized, well-drained pitches all with electric hook-up facility, and welcomes caravans, motor homes and tents. There are ample water points located around the park, and the pitches have good access roads. Our pitches can be booked on a nightly basis, other than in peak season when 4 or 7 nights is the minimum period. Advance bookings are recommended at all times to avoid disappointment.

The park offers something for everyone! Shamba’s modern clubhouse hosts a new bar, reception, shop, takeaway and games/amusements room. The design of the building allows access to all of our guests, including wheelchair users.

The licensed bar, within our impressive new clubhouse, offers a range of beers, lagers, wines and spirits, as well as snacks, teas and coffees. The beautiful pine vaulted ceiling gives a light and airy atmosphere for all to enjoy and relax in, and the bar has the benefit of a large screen TV to ensure viewing comfort.

Our shop provides a wide range of provisions, gifts, newspapers and camping equipment. The takeaway offers fast food prepared to order for your convenience and the games/amusements room hosts a pool table, video games and slot machines. The children’s play area offers an abundance of play equipment including swings, slides and climbing frame/adventure play.

There is also a superb 40ft heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool and paddling pool. This modern enclosure allows the best of both worlds, as it has the ability to recline the exterior walls and roof structure and let the sunshine in! This system truly means that our guests can enjoy the facilities whatever the time of year and whatever the weather.

The modern toilet and shower facilities, incorporating family shower/changing rooms, family bathroom and designated wheelchair users shower room, are free to all guests, as is the use of the leisure amenities.
