The Enda Ryan Poppy Pods
Our camping pods are ideal for those that want to add a touch of luxury to their camping trip when visiting the New Forest National Park.
The pods have been built sustainably in the United Kingdom with environmentally friendly materials and feature solar powered emergency lights. They also have a mains power supply for charging electronic devices and main led lighting. The pods have background underfloor heating providing a comfortable option for trips in the cooler months.
The pod village can accommodate up to 80 people across the 20 pods, each of which can accommodate up to four people (two on the double bed, two on camp beds). If you have a larger family you may need to book more than one pod to accommodate everyone.
In the centre of the village is a large roundhouse for communal shelter, this has solar lighting for the evening so you can socialise with others. There are two waterless toilets at the village for use by guests primarily when needed overnight.
Our Camping Pods are available to book during weekends and school holidays. School holiday dates are based on Hampshire school holidays only.

The Poppy Pod military scheme
The Enda Ryan Poppy Pod Village is our legacy to Armed Service personnel. These pods are here in perpetuity to recognise and remember the sacrifices made and faced by the Armed Forces Community.
The pods provide residential holiday/respite facilities for service personnel, veterans and their families at a discounted rate and have been designed with accessibility in mind.
This project has been made possible with the help of the Armed Forces Community Covenant, the Royal British Legion Brockenhurst Branch and Hampshire County Council.
