Liked: First time at setthorns and what a beautiful site it is. My children enjoyed the long disused railway to ride their bikes. We originally had no elh but got there and asked if we could they were very helpful and said of course so we got electric. Clean site with plenty of water and motorhome points. Definitely coming again in the sun next time.

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked: Setting of the campsite is beautiful. It is truly wild and a lot of walks around
Disliked: We travelled with children (12/13). On the arrival we were told that "they are not allowed move wood from the ground and build dens or swings "...which was disappointing for them as we were in the middle of the forest and it is what children do. Also as we are travelling with tiny caravan lack of dish washing facility or wc was an issue. Site is not designed for families but more for couples who has caravans/ motorhomes big enough so they can spent all time inside . It is shame as side is automatically discqalifiay smaller caravans and tents.

Liked: The setting, nice and quiet and surrounded by trees. Good proximity to sway. Nice friendly staff. One of our favourites in the new forest.
Disliked: The introduction of charging for friends visiting for a couple of hours £5 per car or park across the road about quarter of a mile away! Especially when there are no public facilities, how can this be justified? Also putting up charge from £2 to £5 for staying on for a couple extra hours if your pitch isnt booked. Nobody likes to feel ripped off when charges have gone up overall anyway!

Liked: Nothing much except it was quiet.
Disliked: The mud, leaves, pine needles and dirt that you constantly have to clean from your van, both inside and out. The cost was far and above what we have paid for other sites that are far better than this.
