BACK OF BEYOND TOURING & CAMPING PARK
Dorset A wonderful adults-only site close to beaches and forest
Back of Beyond is a little bit special. It offers an oasis within a 30-acre park of woodland, heathland and lakes. The adults-only site is a haven for wildlife and is located within a short drive of Dorset beaches and the New Forest. There are three main camping areas for tents, including the wonderful Emma’s Glade, which offers around 20 non-electric, wild camping-style pitches for a real off-grid experience.
For a more comfortable pitch, the Warren has 10A electric pitches on flat artificial grass and there are also traditional grass pitches with electric.
The modern toilets and showers offer luxurious comforts such as power showers and there is a washing-up area. A brand-new shower block was completed in time for the start of the 2022 camping season and the existing toilet block has also undergone a refurbishment.
There’s also a warm water dog wash, a reception shop and a fishing lake stocked with carp, chubb and tench.
You can also pick up freshly baked croissants, pain au chocolat, pain au raisin and baguettes for breakfast if pre-ordered the day before.
Recreation facilities include a boules pitch and a pitch and putt golf course – where clubs and balls are provided.
For glampers, there are fully ufrnished shepherd huts with wood burners, as well as a luxurious yurt, lodges and pods. Dogs are welcome in some of the glamping accommodation.
Moors Valley Country Park and Hurn Forest are close to the site, with New Forest villages and Ringwood just a cycle ride or short drive away. Major coastal resorts such as Bournemouth and Poole are within 30 minutes’ drive.
