About New Forest Car Parks
New Forest Car Parks is an independent guide to parking across the New Forest.
The site was created to make it easier to find car parks, compare locations and check useful information before setting out to explore the Forest.
This directory currently covers 129 Forestry England car parks across the New Forest. Finding the right place to park isn’t always as straightforward as it might seem. Our aim is to bring useful information about those car parks together in one easy-to-use directory and interactive map.
What you’ll find on this website
Each car park has its own page containing the information we currently hold about that location. Depending on the car park, this may include:
- Location and directions
- Number of parking spaces
- Opening information and current status
- Toilets and accessible parking
- RingGo location codes
- What3Words locations
- Parking surface and access information
- Walking, cycling and picnic facilities
- Information about the surrounding woodland, heathland or open landscape
You can browse the complete A–Z directory, explore car parks by area, or use our interactive map to search and filter locations.
Keeping the information useful
Car park information can change. Facilities may change, access can be affected by maintenance or seasonal restrictions, and temporary closures can occur.
Where possible, individual listings show when information was last checked. Visitors should always observe signs, restrictions and instructions displayed at the car park when they arrive.
If you find information on this website that is incorrect or out of date, we’d really appreciate you letting us know through our Contact Us page.
Building a useful New Forest parking resource
New Forest Car Parks is an ongoing project. We’re continuing to check and improve the information held for individual car parks, including facilities, accessibility, parking conditions and other details that can be useful when planning a visit.
As the site develops, we also aim to add more first-hand information to individual car park pages to help visitors get a better idea of what to expect when they arrive.
