Practical Caravan

DORSET BACK OF BEYOND

- Must visit The New Forest is only a 10-minute drive, for great walking, riding, cycling, or simply ‘bathing’ in the forest. › www.thenewfore­st.co.uk

A campsite that prides itself on its environmen­tal work, Back of Beyond has been recognised by a David Bellamy Gold Conservati­on Award and was awarded our Best Site Green. Set in 30 acres of fine Dorset countrysid­e that includes woods, heathland, lakes and a river, the park provides natural habitats for wildlife – and its guests. The area around the lakes is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

You get a choice of pitches with electric hook-up, camping pitches or a glamping village with a variety of accommodat­ion, including a yurt and a shepherd’s hut.

The two lakes can be fished, although you might have some competitio­n from the resident otters! Other activities include pitch and putt, and boules.
