Why stay here ...
Great location for both the coast and the New Forest, Long Acre Farm is situated five miles from Lymington and offers a rural setting within the boundaries of the National Park. The site is over 300 metres from the nearest road surrounded by fields. A train line located in a cutting 75 metres away causes minimal noise disturbance to the overall peaceful site. Five grass pitches with 10 amp electric hook-up, basic facilities (one shower, two toilets) and chemical disposal point. Dogs welcome (on leads at all times, walking restricted to CL field and driveway). Please note - due to the lack of pavements on local roads walking directly from the site is not recommended.

Thankyou Geoff
Long Acre Farm
Once again , thank you Geoff. Made sure we was OK on arrival. Facilities spotless as always. You keep a Great CL, I have never seen any litter, dog fouling or anything negative at all. We have had a great week at your well kept CL (even had the sunshine). No problem is to much for you. Can't wait to pay you another visit later in the year.

A Hidden Haven
Long Acre Farm
Located south of the new forest. Although a railway line is situated near by it did not impose.
It is no doubt it is a lovely site, it is a grass only site, but flat and well maintained. The showers and toilet are spotless and regularly cleaned.
We were lucky to see some local wildlife, sparrow hawk, deer and rabbits and dawn and evening chorus of the birds,. Not to mention the three alpacas on site.
Geoff was such a lovely host and a really great guy.
There is no doubt we will return as it’s gone to one of my top sites as so much more to do in the area.
Thank you for a brilliant stay.
Peaceful touring base
Long Acre Farm
A lovely well spaced out site in a rural location with good toilet and shower facilities. An ideal base to visit both the nearby coastline and New Forest plus shops nearby in New Milton and Lymington.
Whilst as per other reviews the main road is not suitable for walking there is a lengthy entrance lane to the site for essential dog exercise!
During our stay we did experience some substantial thunderstorms which did leave the site somewhat waterlogged - hence the 4 stars rather than 5.
Pre arrival communication from the owners was excellent and would certainly recommend site to others.
BHWE new forest cycling
Long Acre Farm
This is a very well maintained site. It comprises a spacious field, well mown and level, with 5 pitches. There was a water-logged section in the middle but it didn't affect anybody. EHU (ours was 9 amp so we did get some annoying tripping problems when using kettle and heater together), drinking water, and a well marked waste/recycling area plus chemical disposal point. There is a spacious modern shower room with plenty of hooks etc, and a washbasin (we did find that the electric light kept going off so one would be plunged into total darkness during a shower!). There are two toilets in the same block. All kept really clean and tidy. The site is set well back from Vaggs Lane, just beware of the telegraph post when pulling out and turning left (we turned right). We didn't find the sound of the trains intrusive. The site is surrounded by fields and trees, and we enjoyed the dawn chorus, particularly a virtuosic song thrush, and also the swallows dipping and diving over the fields.
We were mountain-biking on the fantastic trails criss-crossing the New Forest, so didn't find access to the Forest a problem. But if you want to walk anywhere, you will have to take your car as no direct access to the Forest. Vaggs Lane is busy with fast cars, as is Sway Road. Don't even think about walking along these roads - as the site website says, there are no pavements. You can easily get to Lyndhurst, Burley and Brockenhurst by bike and car, also Lymington and the coast.
A good site for cycling in the Forest, but not if you want direct access for walking.

Delightful Site in a Rural Location
Long Acre Farm
(Posted by owner on behalf of member Mr C Bignell)
We like the to be away from crowds and in the countryside and this site proved to be perfect to visit three separate family groups. Located down a long gravel track, the spacious fenced site field is surrounded by hedges and mature trees. I have never seen such a berry laden holly tree and there were many species of birds visiting. At the end of the site are two immaculately clean toilet and washbasin rooms and one shower room with plenty of hot water, if you don't fancy using on board facilities. It was our first outing in our new caravan and the water pump failed however incredibly helpful proprietor Geoff came to the rescue and loaned us a replacement which saved the day. With a fuel station just down the road and Aldi and Tesco a mile or so away it was easy to get provisions. Also ideal to explore the delights of coastal Hampshire and Dorset. All in all we had a lovely five days here and hope to return. Many thanks Geoff and Victoria.
