The New forest does not allow any wild camping at all i think most people find sites by contacting land owners and gaining permission to use their land.

Welcome to BCUK!! It may help if you could tell us where abouts in England you live, it ios quite a big place!! Also, if you have transport, how far you are willing to travel, etc.

I'm not too sure on the legal aspects of camping in the New Forest, it's been a while since I lived in UK let alone down south!!

Edit:

There you go then, I didn't think it was allowed!!

They certainly don't like it and do actually prosecute so beware.. Great place to wander though and there are still some quiet backwaters to be found where you can set up camp for the day, just make your self scarce at night. There's quite a few campsites there, but as you say, they're quite commercial. Have you considered Dartmoor? Wild camping is allowed here in most places on public access land. Check their website and you'll see...

just checked it out it seemes that dartmoor is very stric on things like fires, in the sense that they arent alowed. so im guessing tht itss gonna be hard to find anywere were their arent these rules.
