Why stay here ...
Southern Comfort is ideally situated on the Hampshire/Dorset border for those wishing to base themselves within easy reach of the beautiful New Forest and one of it’s main market towns, Ringwood. The site is approximately 3 miles from Ringwood, and less than 10 miles from the seaside town of Bournemouth and it’s neighbouring port of Poole. The stunning Purbeck Hills and Jurassic coast are within 40 minutes’ drive.
Southern Comfort is owned and run by Angela and Tim Moody and is a site that offers basic facilities within a friendly family atmosphere. We have Alpacas who love making new friends, as well as our resident chickens (who can usually be relied on for fresh eggs!). No dogs allowed as we have 3 dogs of our own.
The pitches all have a hard standing with electrical hook up points and many of them also have a grass pitch if space for an awning is required. The majority of our pitches enjoy uninterrupted views over pony paddocks behind the site.
The well known tourist attraction of Moors Valley Country Park, along with its Go Ape facility is within an easy off road walk or cycle ride. The miles of forest trails that the Park leads to is a very pleasant way of spending stress free days, or if that is too energetic, our local pub, ‘The Three Legged Cross’ is an easy 10 minute level walk. The food is excellent, and the pub has a very cosy feel to it.
There are 3 different convenience stores within a mile of the CL, or the large new supermarket in the nearest town of Verwood is around 2 miles distance for any other shopping needs while you’re on holiday.
Angela and Tim look forward to welcoming you to their CL.

What a Great Site
Southern Comfort
We loved this site with it's super friendly welcome and animals in the paddock.
The site only has two pitches now which are both a good size overlooking the paddock with the Alpacas and the chickens. The dogs keep the chickens in order if they look like escaping. The dogs are so friendly and well behaved - Angela has done a marvelous job at training them. You may think that with dogs and a cockerel it would be noisy, but not a bit of it. You can hear the road, but it's not obtrusive and wouldn't bother you unless you were used to living in the middle of nowhere.
We were surprised that we had the site all to ourselves for the four days given how super the weather was. We spent two of the days rambling, then had a long pub lunch down the road on the final day.
The site is very well located for the seaside, with Mudeford and Bournemouth not far away. There is also a large garden center almost opposite with a good cafe, and a really nice pub ten minutes walk down the road.
Regarding access, it's a doddle as you just swing off the decent road that runs towards the front - no last minute nail biting lanes to negotiate.
We hope to come back when it's warmer weather for the beach.

A wonderful CL. We loved it and will be back
Southern Comfort
My husband and I came here for a weekend and had a wonderful time. The site is so well looked after and loved. There are great facilities which are so clean and tidy. The alpacas and chickens were lovely to be around and we enjoyed meeting the dogs who came out while Angela was gardening. They aren’t intrusive and one only came to see us because we called them over and gave them some fuss.
Our pitch was at the back overlooking the pony paddocks and we had a hard standing with a lovely grassy area with a table and chairs by an apple tree. It was so peaceful and lovely, my husband slept 10 hours each night we were there which he never does at home.
During the day we walked on the miles of foot and bridle paths in the amazing countryside and we also used these to walk to the pub one night. We will go back with our bikes as these trials would be great for bike riding too.
Angela and Tim really care about Southern Comfort and it showed, thank you for a wonderful stay.
Great CL in a good location
Southern Comfort
Great site with easy access for larger vehicles. Really friendly and helpful owners and full of personality Alpacas, dogs and chickens!! Great site to use as a base and walk from but the bus links also looked plentiful if you wanted to go further afield. Lovely farm shop a couple of miles away and a couple of convenience stores, post office and a pub all within a ten minute walk. We will be back again - thank you
Our ten day stay
Southern Comfort
We have just returned from a most enjoyable stay here. We were welcomed on arrival by Angela. The Alpacas were fascinating to watch & Braveheart the biggest was very friendly & Bottle the black one was fun to watch chasing the chickens. The site is well kept & easy to find with a very good access. We can’t praise this site enough we had a great peaceful time after the ‘shutdown’ & we will certainly be back.

Good clean site
Southern Comfort
We came here for a week in August. Very easy site to find with good access. We rang prior to arriving as we thought we’d be early, didn’t reckon on M25 holdups !! But owner said our pitch was ready and waiting for us and we could arrive as soon as we wished. On arrival was met by Angela and Tim who were very welcoming. Advised us to nose into pitch so we could look out over paddock where chickens and alpaca roamed. Tim even helped us push caravan into position(( no motor mover !) The dogs do roam but are very friendly as are the chickens!
The site is ideally placed for visits to the New Forest, Kingston Lacy, corfe castle and studland bay (all national trust and we’ll worth a visit). As well as within easy reach of Lymington, the Isle of Wight, Bournemouth, Poole etc.
The site is very clean and well maintained and we would have no reservation about returning or recommending it to others.
