Relaxed, spacious summer camping a short stroll from the beach.
Summer camping in Milford-on-Sea
Tents / Campervans OnlyDuring July and August 2026, we’re offering camping pitches in our fields, a ten-minute walk from the centre of Milford village. If you’re looking for a New Forest campsite, look no further. Milford-on-Sea is a coastal village on the edge of the New Forest National Park, with wonderful beaches, shops, pubs and restaurants — find out more at visitmilfordonsea.co.uk.
There’s beach and boat fishing and a number of lakes for a great day out — in August, bream and bass are in season. There’s a children’s playground just two minutes’ walk opposite the campsite, and loads of walking to explore (try walkinginengland.co.uk/hants for ideas).

Food on site
So you can put your feet up
Pizza Night
Local company Rural Pizza Company comes to the site every Friday and cooks amazing made-to-order pizza, served between 5pm and 9.30pm. They take card and cash — please do support this small local business.
Breakfast Van
A fantastic new addition for Saturday and Sunday mornings — hot drinks and breakfast, plus picnics to take out for the day. We recommend pre-booking your food so you’re not disappointed!
Muddycreek Saddle Bar
On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, enjoy ice-cold drinks — including local draught beer from The Brew Forest — from 4–8pm.
Good to know
A relaxed, family-friendly field
Dogs & campfires. Two dogs per pitch are welcome at no charge, provided they’re on leads, well behaved and cleaned up after. Small campfires are allowed — firewood is on sale from the office. Please bring a fire basket if you have one, or you can have a small fire on the ground with some borrowed bricks. We ask that only wood sold on site is used.
Keeping costs down. We try very hard to keep the cost of your holiday down — we don’t charge for dogs, gazebos, extra cars, visitors or fires.
Who it’s for. The site suits families and couples, and we ask everyone to keep the noise down after 10pm. We’re sorry, but we don’t take groups — except small family groups (with children) of fewer than 16 people (max 8 adults), or a maximum of 4 adults with no children. For a family group booking, please call us first to confirm numbers.
Arrival & departure. Arrivals are from 9am to 8pm, and departure is by 3pm. We’re only open for 28 days of the year. Sorry, no caravans or motorhomes — small VW-type camper vans are fine.
Frequently asked questions
What time can I arrive, and is there a departure time?
You can arrive any time after 9am, right up until 8pm. You’re welcome to enjoy most of the day with us when you leave — please just make sure you’re off site by 3pm.
How do we check in?
We ask that you come to the office between 5pm and 7pm to collect your tent tag. On Fridays we keep the office open a little longer.
What if I arrive and there is no one in the office?
No problem! As long as you have a booking, just pitch up and start enjoying your holiday. Come to the office between 5pm and 7pm to register.
What are the office hours?
The guaranteed office hours are 8am–9am and 5pm to 7pm. We are very often around much longer than this, although we may not always be sitting in the office. If you need us outside of those hours and you can’t see us about, just give us a call.
Are there set pitches, and what size are they?
We don’t have numbered or allocated pitches, so you are free to choose a spot that suits you. Please leave plenty of space between your pitch and your neighbours.
Can I pitch up with my friends?
Yes! We love people coming together at Muddycreek. Please remember that our group-size limits apply, so make sure your group is within the permitted number of adults and children.
My friends have booked separately — can I still pitch up with them?
Yes, but please let us know before you arrive. If you wish to pitch up with a separate group, we need to know in advance so that we can make sure the combined group is within our group-size limits. It may also be more cost-effective to all book in as one.
Can I have a visitor?
Yes, that is absolutely fine. They just need to be off site by 9.30pm.
What facilities do you have?
We have flushing toilets, an outdoor toothbrushing area, unlimited hot water showers and hot water washing up.
What is the quiet time policy?
From 10pm to 8am we ask that all music is switched off, that children are gathered around your own pitch, and that the noise comes right down.
Can we have a campfire?
This very much depends on the ground and weather conditions, but providing we have deemed the fire risk to be low, then yes! We allow small campfires. You can have one directly on the ground, so you don’t need to bring a fire basket.
Can I bring my own logs for a campfire?
No, we ask that only logs and kindling sold by us are used.
Do you have any food trucks on site?
Friday night is pizza night! The amazing Rural Pizza Company will be serving their delicious pizzas from 5pm to 9pm.
Impala Mobile Catering serves delicious breakfast from their trailer on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Is there a bar?
Muddycreek Saddle Bar is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 4pm to 8pm, serving cold draught beer from a local brewery as well as wine and spirits.
Are you near the beach?
Yes! We are very close to Milford-on-Sea beach, which is a shingle beach, so we recommend footwear such as Crocs, wetsuit booties or similar. The best swimming beach is Hordle Cliffs.
Can I charge my phone?
We do allow you to charge your phone in the office, providing there is an available slot!
Can I empty my chemical toilet on site?
No, this is not allowed on site.
Can I bring my campervan or converted van?
Yes, we just don’t take motorhomes or caravans.
Do you have freezers?
Yes, we have freezers in the office that you can access during office hours. You can store your freezer blocks in them for free.

What campers say
In their own words
“Just wanted to say thanks for having us for the last two weeks — we’ve had a lovely time. We loved the area and loved the campsite. We think it’s great what you do, you’ve created a really relaxed atmosphere. We’re already thinking of staying again same time next year, if you’ll have us.”A happy camper
“Thank you for a wonderful weekend at your campsite. The overall consensus was that it’s the best place we’ve stayed in the past 6 years we’ve been camping together. The perfect combination of loads of space in the field, near to the sea, good facilities and a very relaxed vibe all round.”A returning group
Proud winners of a Pitchup.com Review Award — thank you to all our campers.
