About us

New Forest Show & Society

For over 100 years The New Forest Agricultural Show Society has been promoting and encouraging the development and improvement of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, equestrianism and rural crafts through The New Forest Show. They have also run the popular campsite, Longmeadow, which has welcomed many visitors to spend quality time in The New Forest over the past 16 years.

Camping New Forest

Our sister organisation, Camping New Forest, operate 10 wonderful campsites around The New Forest.

Camping in the New Forest offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends.
With its tranquil surroundings, diverse wildlife, and miles of scenic trails, the New Forest has something for everyone. From stargazing at night to adventure seeking and exploring ancient woodlands during the day, camping in the New Forest promises to be a holiday like no other.

Protecting the New Forest

The New Forest is a truly special place, but caring for its unique landscape comes at a significant cost – millions of pounds each year. It’s up to all of us to help preserve this extraordinary environment and support the people and organisations who care for it.

To play our part, Camping New Forest has introduced a £1 donation per booking. This small contribution helps offset the impact of tourism on the forest and supports essential work in conservation, education, and community engagement.

Together, we can help ensure the New Forest continues to thrive, the ponies remain free to roam, and this treasured landscape is safeguarded for generations to come.
