Welcome to Teddy’s Farm

Discover a laid-back, sustainable camping experience at Teddy’s Farm—a working family sheep farm nestled in the heart of The New Forest. Our eco-friendly, spacious campsite offers a relaxed retreat in a wonderful natural setting. Perfect for families, friends, couples, and solo travellers who enjoy a low-impact, off-the-beaten-track adventure where nature and camping unite for a truly memorable getaway.


What Makes Us a Sustainable Campsite?

We are leading the way by investing in eco-innovative solutions to ensure a low-impact, nature-friendly retreat. At Teddy’s Farm, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the heart of our camping experience:

• Willow Evapotranspiration System:

  • How It Works: Water from our showers, washing-up areas, and composting loos flows into a specially designed wetland. Here, thirsty willow trees absorb water and nutrients, while natural processes – including the action of sunlight, wind and beneficial microbes – break down contaminants.
  • Why It Matters: This process prevents pollutants including nitrates and phosphates from entering local streams, rivers, or the sea, and in so doing creates a new wetland habitat teeming with wildlife.

• Composting Loos:

  • Clean, well-maintained facilities that reduce water use and prevent waste entering any mains sewerage—a win win for the local environment.

• Solar-Powered Site:

  • All on-site power is generated by solar energy, ensuring an eco-conscious stay.
  • By choosing Teddy’s Farm, you’re not only enjoying a memorable camping experience—you’re supporting practices that keep The New Forest pristine.

 


 

Why Choose Teddy’s Farm?

We believe camping should be about freedom, space, and simplicity—without unnecessary rules. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Open Field Freedom with no fixed pitches:

  • Two expansive fields set across about 17 acres where you can pick your own spot with your family and friends (please allow 6 meters between tents for safety and comfort).

• Campsite Perks:

  • Freshly Brewed Coffee: Start your day with barista-quality coffee at The Baa-rista, or a selection of other drinks and treats.
  • Specialty Produce: New Forest Ice cream and other tasty treats will be available. In August, we will have our farm’s 100% pasture-fed lamb/hogget available for purchase.
  • Delicious On-Site Food: Enjoy freshly prepared meals from Burbs Kitchen, our resident caterer, on Friday evenings.
  • Real Campfire Experience: Fire pits are available for hire, so you can enjoy cozy evenings under the stars. Logs available to buy on site.
  • Hot Showers: Six hot showers available 24/7, frequently praised as the best campsite showers!

• Family & Dog Friendly:

  • Perfect for families, friends, couples, and solo travellers. Dogs stay free (with a requirement to keep them on a lead and clean up after them)

• Extra Comfort Options:

  • For guests who prefer a little extra ease, our pre-pitched bell tents offer a hassle-free way to enjoy the outdoors.
