Facilities and access
No BBQs are allowed to help prevent forest fires. The toilets are open, with adapted external locks to allow them to be used on a one-in-one-out basis.
Please don't leave your litter next to the bin, even if it’s neatly bagged up, as it poses a real threat for the wildlife and ponies that roam freely across the New Forest.
If this car park is full, drive on to the next one at Whitefield Moor, do not park on the verges or block gateways.
