Red Shoot is steeped in family life: the present owner, Jaqui Oldfield, is the third generation of her family to run the business. She also has children of her own, so she understands the needs of families. It's a big site -- 100 pitches, 46 with electric hook-up -- but the joy of this north-western part of the New Forest is that, even in mid-summer, you can walk five minutes from the site and find yourself in a secluded spot that could be miles from anyone. There's a great play area with a fireman's pole and rope and swing bridges, and a well-stocked shop to keep energy levels up. Next door to the site, and closely connected to it, is the Red Shoot Inn which specialises, as you'd imagine, in serving families. Plus, the area positively groans with wonderful days out: Marwell Zoo, Monkey World, Liberty's Raptor and Reptile Centre and the New Forest Water park are all within striking distance. One of Britain's best-known family campsites, and deservedly so, Arthur's Field is named after the farmer who originally owned the land, and who opened it up to campers (don't be confused by the website, which uses the site's alternative name, Treloan Coastal Holidays). Families flock to the site, perched on the Roseland peninsula, all year round, but especially during the summer. Every morning, campsite owner Debs rings a bell at the top of the fie ld so that children can scamper up and collect eggs and feed the animals
