 Never been to a "Camping in the Forest" site before, but been to The New Forest dozens of times.

Paid for "select" pitch with EHU.

Drove round a little and changed pitch selection once but mainly they're all under a roof of foliage.

Plenty of water taps and waste disposal locations.

Reception staff all very helpful and friendly.

We'd certainly use these sites again, opened our eyes a bit tbh.

 Lovely site, my wife and I enjoyed seeing deer roaming freely about the site.

You get to choose your own pitch which was really nice.

Plenty of walks, cycle paths etc.

 We have stayed here many times over the years, this time we decided to forego EHU and went off grid on the Set Oaks side. It was fabulous.

The nice weather helped but seeing the ponies stroll around us was quite magical. Its a very short walk with the dogs to let them off lead and enjoy the forest itself.

This spot certainly takes a lot of beating! It is a little more expensive to stay here but well worth it.

Watching some of the enormous motorhomes come through to avoid the bridge weight limit was an eye opener too !

Reviewer: Keefysher 35 reviews from this member

 Since changing to a MotorHome and qualifying for the over 60 discount, we decided to try this out on recommendation of another MH owner.

A 45 minute drive from home after work on the Friday evening saw us rock up, have a laugh with the helpful staff on reception, learn of the available pitches, we drove through. To the MH service point, filled with water using a long hose (if bins were in a different position it would save effort and ease positioning, saving others queuing) We chose Horseshoe pitch 12. No need for EHU, so was ideal in amongst the tress. The self leveller system was a boon and made it easy to pitch solid.

Beautiful awakening to clear skies up through the tress.

We have fat tyre e-bikes and rode to Burley on the old railway bed. Super safe conditions. 2 pints and a bag of nuts was more than the site fees.

We were so impressed with the site, laid back attitude of th staff, condition of the pitches; we will visit all the Camping in the Forest sites this year as they are good value and on this first non facility site have given us comfort we won't have any issues for chilled weekends away close to home.

 We were a little unlucky with the weather but when we arrived we were met at the gate by the very friendly manager.

Explaining we had friends arriving the next night with their caravan, we asked if we could pitch close by.

We had electric hook up and the pitches looked great, slightly broken up by the pine trees, very pretty.

On our friends arrival they were indeed given a pitch near us.

Overall friendly staff, great site layout and lovely location.

Reviewer: Rsen77 2 reviews from this member

 Setthorns is a good site but there are no toilet facilities so bringing your own chemical toilet is a must. Staff checked on arrival that you fulfil this condition.

The site was very clean and there were adequate taps and electric hook ups.

We were able to park up where we wished, within an area of hook up points, and pitch our lav tent without further charge.

We were there in some of the hottest weather of 2023 but the shade of the trees kept us cool.

It was quiet and we had enough space around us to feel that we were genuinely in the forest. We were able to expand our living space around our campervan and feel we very much had our own area.

It was very quiet at night and there was hardly any passing traffic.

All in all, a great stay.

 Great campsite. Big pitches, really well spaced in a stunning setting.

Had wild deer and horses come pay us a visit.

Campsite wardens really friendly.

Had bikes delivered to the site from Burley and went straight out into lots of different cycle runs.

Would definitely visit again!

 A true gem of the forest, Setthorns is probably the closest you will get back to nature.

Something for everyone, from walking and cycling, to pub lunches or just taking in the scenery.

The Staff are always ready to help, a cheerful bunch who are a mine of information and tips.

Great for all ages, children and Adults all love it.

Reviewer: Pwwukpw 5 reviews from this member

 Could well earn 10 starts except I'd like to see a woodland play are for children.

Very friendly staff on arrival suggested nice pitch. We had a select pitch with a little more room. As you can see very private.

Was a warm few days so lovely and cool being under the Forrest canopy, some areas of dappled sun.

Great cycle rides on disused railway. Popular with families so as said would be lovely to see a woodland themed play area so kids can meet and play.

Note: there are no showers or toilets, if you don't have your own toilet you won't be allowed to stay, so you need to be 100% self sufficient except for optional power, water taps and chemical toilet empty point.
