site developments
Ferny Crofts is committed to providing a high quality, memorable experience for all who stay on site. In order to achieve this we value any feedback that is provided from our guests in order to help us improve the site and the facilities that we offer. We also aim to add a new activity to site every year to offer new experiences to returning customers.
Amenities Block Heating - November 2024
We worked behind the scenes to update our plumbing system in the main amenities block and updated the heating system!
New Pond Steps - September 2024
We added access steps to our pond!
Having these shall enable water activity participants to exit the pond straight onto the bank, instead of having to cross the pond to exit via the beach.
Car Park - September 2024
To try maximise the space in our car park, our facilities team have added in new group parking bays, done some ground maintenance and added new bay dividers.
Tented Village Improvements - August 2024
To improve the Tented Village area, and to ensure it can be enjoyed year after year, we invested in all new Bell Tents and bases!

In July we repainted our Small Tower to keep it looking at its best ahead of another busy summer.
New Pizza Oven - June 2024
To keep up with the high popularity of our Pizza Oven facilities, and in order to keep our facilities at their highest standards, we replaced our Pizza Oven in the Quiet Area.

After listening to customer feedback, we have carried out works to improve our second Pizza Oven.
We have added an undercover shelter and benches to add comfort and to ensure groups get the most out of this area.
Marquee - May 2023
We have upgraded our old Gala Tents to a new marquee providing much more space for your groups and a much sturdier structure.
Available to hire in sections, the marquee comes equipped with tables and benches and can be used for dining, indoor activities and escaping the wet weather in winter.
The marquee was generously donated to us by New Forest Trust.
Field Kitchen - May 2023
Want to camp but still eat a home cooked meal? Our new Field Kitchen, designed and built by the Ferny Crofts team, may be the perfect addition to your camp!
Our new, fully equipped container kitchen will enhance your outdoor cooking experience. This container kitchen will make meal preparation at the campsite more efficient and enjoyable, allowing you to focus on the beauty of nature and the joy of cooking outdoors.
Tunnelling - July 2022
In July 2022 we had the grand unveiling of our new Tunnelling Bus at the Hampshire Scouts Annual AGM hosted at Ferny Crofts.
This is an exciting new instructed activity which will test your group's bravery and teamwork.
Designed and built by the Ferny Crofts team, we know you will love this activity as much as we do!
