Evening,

Rain or no rain we are off to Holmsley in the New forest camping tomorrow, we should be able to get there at 12 so I am hoping there will be a little selection of pitches.

Just wondered if anyone knew of any good spots or areas to avoid there? Do any of the areas get particularly waterlogged?

Thanks and Happy camping for anyone else off this weekend.

We were there last week and really struggled to find a spot (we didn't have EHU). Spent some time on a large flat piece of ground being laughed at by others while we tried to pitch in the wind on very stony ground, then gave up. We finally found a nice spot near the stream that seem to be a favourite for  families. Just past the play area there is a small road leading to about a dozen pitches, some in amongst the trees. We settled for a spot near the stream, not too stony equal distance between to shower blocks - the one over the stream was quieter. Ground sloped slightly towards the stream so shouldn't be too bad and was sheltered from the wind that was blowing hard up the top!

Thanks, I will look out for the stream!

We have friends goign with a EHU, will we be able to pitch somewhere near them?
