Why stay here ...
Airview Farm is located on the Western edge of The New Forest National Park in the quiet village of Ibsley between Ringwood and Fordingbridge.
An adults only site on our New Forest smallholding. 0.5 acre of level lawned field looking across to our fields that are used (after haymaking) for grazing our cows and calves that provide hours of amusement to our guests, wild deer are also frequent visitors. It is very easy to find and excellent access with your caravan.
There is lots of walking direct from the site, both on the forest and around adjacent nature reserve lakes including the well known Blashford lakes, this is ideal for those interested in bird watching and wildlife. The New Forest also offers a large network of cycle routes.
Several pubs are within walking distance, one 500 metres down the road, one a 30 minute walk across the forest and two others within walking distance; all offering excellent food.
A 15 minute walk away is Hockeys farm shop and cafe offering a wide choice of local food and drink and also newspapers.
There is a bus stop 500 metres from the site which offers excellent services between Bournemouth and Salisbury every 30 minutes.
This is also a stop for The New Forest Tour bus that allows you to hop on and off the open top bus at your leisure across the forest.
The nearest town is the vibrant market town of Ringwood 3.5 miles offering a good selection of upmarket shops in The Furlong with a good variety of coffee shops and places to eat and drink. For your every day needs there is a Waitrose and Sainsbury's.
The site is very well situated for exploring the New Forest National Park and surrounding areas of Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire, including sandy beaches of Bournemouth (12 miles), historic cathedral and market town of Salisbury (14 miles), Southampton (20 miles) and Lymington (15 miles) from which it is a short ferry trip to the Isle of Wight.
We have TV aerial hook ups and a shower (coin operated) and toilet facility. We are sorry but we do not offer car charging facilities on site.
Unfortunately due to location we cannot offer wifi, however we do provide lots of information about the surrounding area.
Julie and Richard look forward to welcoming you to our CL.We take pride in maintaining a clean and well cared for site and offer detailed knowledge of the local area, as is reflected in our reviews.

A lovely part of the forest
Airview Farm
The site was easy to get to and easy to get to from the main road but I wasn’t provided with the entry code to allow the gate to open within any of the communication on how to open the access gate until a fellow camper came to my aid. The pitches are allocated with your name on the board and instructions on how to park your vehicle. The walking and cycling opportunities from the site are great and there is a regular X3 bus service nearby will quickly get you to Ringwood and Fordingbridge, Salisbury in one direction or Bournemouth in the other. Like others have mentioned you can hear some road noise but it didn’t bother us at all and was quiet at night
The £25 cost of the CL includes use of a clean toilet and coin operated shower for those that want it, TV point and 10 units of electricity which we found was enough. The charge per unit thereafter is currently 35p. Although the pitches are not fully serviced, fresh water and EHU points are within easy reach. There is one grey water and one black water disposal point. If you are staying over a bank holiday then there is a minimum 4 night requirement which may not be suitable for all.
A beautifully kept site. We will be back
Airview Farm
The site is immaculate and perfectly located to explore the new forest and surrounding area. Fabulous dog walks and cycling routes direct from the site. Two lovely pubs within easy walk/cycle distance, and a great farm shop/cafe nearby too. The site is served by a regular bus service if you didn’t want to take you car/motorhome off site. Like others have mentioned you can hear some road noise but it didn’t bother us at all and was quiet at night. Highly recommended and we will definitely return for more visits.
Excellent
Airview Farm
We reviewed the site on 27/08/13, shortly after it was opened, and again on 30/05/16, both as family caravanners and before it became adults only. As the site hasn’t been reviewed for a couple of years and we now motorhome on our wn, this review is from a slightly different perspective. This is a great site if like us you don’t want to drive off-pitch. The walking and cycling opportunities from the site are limitless and all can be linked to a café or pub. The regular nearby X3 bus service will quickly get you to Ringwood and Fordingbridge, which can also be reached on foot, or Boscombe, Bournemouth or Salisbury. These open up other walking and bus opportunities. For example, walking along the coastal path to Swanage and returning on the Purbeck Breezer 50 open-top bus via Studland and Sandbanks. You could just go to Sandbanks and visit Brownsea Island. You can walk in the other direction from Bournemouth or Boscombe to Hengbersbury Head and Christchurch. The X3 is a better way of exploring Salisbury than staying on the CAMC Salisbury site, which is miles from Salisbury, has no bus service to speak of and is poor for both cycling and walking. You could just chill out on the CL. Best to come stocked up but there is a Tesco Express, bakery, wine shop, fish & chip shop and ATM an easy and pleasant 15 mins cycle away in Poulner. Hockey’s farm shop is also a short walk away. The nearest supermarkets (Waitrose, Sainsbury and Lidl) are in Ringwood. The £25 cost of the CL includes use of a clean loo and coin operated shower for those that want it, TV point and 10 units of electricity which we found was enough. The charge per unit thereafter is currently 35p. Although the pitches are not fully serviced, fresh water and EHU points are within easy reach. There is one grey water and one black water disposal point. All sites have niggles and for us it’s car noise on Mockbeggar Lane but you get used to it and it lessens in the evening and at weekends. It would be a shame for this to put you off. The pitches are separated and screened from the Lane by a wide verge and thick hedge. Airview Farm is popular. If fully booked the nearby Furzehill Farm CL which is quieter and deeper into the Forest won’t disappoint but it doesn’t have a loo/shower or bus service and TV reception is poor. This NW quarter of the New Forest is a favourite of ours.
Great site, easily accessed and great walking
Airview Farm
We have just returned from a week here, we have just upgraded to a Buccaneer which is longer, wider and heavier than our previous Bailey Pageant so wanted to go to a site that was easy to get to (not too many small roads) but still allowed us good walks and a peaceful site.
The site was easy to get to and easy to get the van into - it was spotless, really well maintained and the shower/toilet block the same. The shower is 20p for 2 mins (or multiples of) but gives a good hot shower. The site was also level and bordered onto a field with cows/calves, it was great to see the calves running around. There is great walking in every direction, we walked straight out from the site a few times and as it is straight into the New Forest there are endless walks. Burley is close by and its not far to the sea.
Richard and Julie were great - they were around just enough that if you needed something they were there but left you alone the rest of the time.
Highly recommend if you want a clean and tidy small quiet site that gives a great base to explore the New forest.
A Great CL!
Airview Farm
We stayed here for 3 nights. You have to pay a week in advance, but this does mean once you arrive it is really easy as you get given code for the gate and your pitch number is displayed on a white board. Really well kept CL, toilet and shower are clean and tidy (coin operated shower), all grass pitches which are well cared for and rubber matting is provided should you wish to use it. We enjoyed watching the cows, calves and chickens in the field. There is a little road noise in the day, but nothing too intrusive. Great location with cycle rides, walks, farm shop and pub very close by. I would recommend and would stay here again.
