New Forest Campervan Hire — Explore the National Park by VW Campervan
Camper Charter hires fully-equipped VW campervans from a base just outside Romsey in Hampshire — less than half an hour from the heart of the New Forest National Park. Whether you’re planning a short break among the ancient woodland and heathland, a cycling weekend on the Forest’s traffic-free trails, or a longer road trip that takes in the Jurassic Coast, our small fleet of characterful campervans is ready to go, with a personal handover and friendly support throughout your trip.
Why hire your campervan with Camper Charter
If you’re searching for campervan hire near the New Forest, here’s what makes hiring with us different:
-
A short drive from the Forest — our Test Valley base sits just outside Romsey, putting the New Forest boundary within 15 minutes and popular villages like Burley, Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst within 30.
-
Fully-equipped VW campervans — each van comes with a gas stove, kitchen utensils, a cosy sleeping area with mattress topper, camping chairs, levelling ramps and chocks, so you can pitch up and get settled straight away.
-
Dog-friendly — well-behaved dogs are welcome on board. The New Forest is one of the finest dog-walking destinations in the UK, with thousands of acres of heathland and forest to roam together.
-
RAC roadside cover included — so you can explore the Forest’s quiet lanes and byways with complete peace of mind.
-
Personal, local service — every booking is handled by Nick and Michelle directly. They know the area well and are always happy to share favourite spots, campsites and routes.

Exploring the New Forest by campervan
The New Forest National Park covers 219 square miles of ancient woodland, open heathland and river valleys — one of the most rewarding destinations in the south of England for a campervan trip. Here are some of the highlights our hirers keep coming back for:
-
Wild ponies and open heathland — the Forest’s famous free-roaming ponies, cattle and donkeys are part of everyday life here. Drive or cycle the quiet back roads in the morning and you’ll almost always find them grazing at the roadside.
-
Cycling on traffic-free trails — the New Forest has over 100 miles of cycling routes, including the popular Castleman Trailway and miles of purpose-built forest tracks. Hire bikes locally in Brockenhurst or Burley if you don’t bring your own.
-
Walking in ancient woodland — from the towering oaks and beeches of Mark Ash Wood to the wide open moorland around Fritham, the walking here is endlessly varied. The New Forest Walking Festival runs in spring and autumn if you’re visiting then.
-
Burley, Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst — three very different but equally charming Forest villages. Burley is known for its cider heritage, Brockenhurst for its tea rooms and rail access, Lyndhurst for the New Forest Centre museum and a cluster of good pubs.
-
Campsites within the National Park — the Forestry England campsites at Hollands Wood, Ashurst and Roundhill are well-placed for exploring the Forest by van and all accept campervans. Booking ahead is essential in summer.
-
The Jurassic Coast as a next stop — for longer trips, Bournemouth is under 30 miles from the Forest’s southern edge, and from there the Jurassic Coast stretches west all the way to Exmouth.
