Hillside Camping And Caravan Site

Hillside Camping and Caravan Site is a small, family-run campsite on the edge of Ringwood Forest at Gotham, near Verwood in east Dorset. The pitches sit among oak trees beside a 300 acre Forestry Commission woodland, with walking and cycling routes leading straight from the gate into Moors Valley Country Park and on into Verwood, where you will find pubs, shops and places to eat. Ringwood is a short drive away and the beaches of Bournemouth are around 30 minutes south. Hillside takes tents, touring caravans and motorhomes across plenty of open space, and it also runs bell-tent glamping packages that are set up largely for hen weekends, so it suits groups after Bournemouth nightlife as much as campers who want a quiet forest base. The free shower block stays open 24 hours and includes an accessible wet room, and there is a separate washing-up area with free hot water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a lead. The site is open from 28 April to 31 October, with pitches and glamping booked directly through Hillside.
