Sustainable Camping in The New Forest at Teddy’s Farm

• 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.

• 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.
