Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: It was a very chilled campsite with lots of space and nice for kids to run around.

Disliked: Finding the pitches was not easy and one portaloo was not enough for camping, it was too small, dirty and just not ideal at all. Luckily we had own toilet paper, but facilities were not sufficient for size of camping area. It was difficult to get water and keep clean! It said toilet block on pitch up but this isn't the case and if you want a clean toiler this isn't the place for you.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The view is nice.

Disliked: No directions were provided and the signposts are completely misleading if you are on the grass pitch. If you are camping on the grass pitch you actually have to stop at the sign that says "Morelands corpse camping keep going!" and let yourself through some big wooden black gates signed "Beware of the dogs" then cross a yard (totally unsigned) and up a track. It took us an hour of wondering around and asking people to find the place and no-one from the campsite answered their phone. All the other campers we spoke to had had the same problem, and one family had given up trying to find it and just pitched by the confusing "Moreland corpse camping, you're here!" sign. Hint if you're on the grass pitch and you see this sign you are in totally the wrong place! I've attached some photos to this review to hopefully help others in the same situation find where they're supposed to go. Also the grass pitch only has a single porta loo in the corner and there were soggy toilet rolls in there, one of which had mildew on it, so had clearly been wet for a while. A fair amount of the field is slopped also.

From the manager: Hi, We appreciate your feedback. However, I have to mention that we do have three toilets located throughout the site, they are not all in one immediate area to lower impact on the ground and site. The campers at the top as mentioned had requested to camp in this spot. I completely agree the signage is not great this is work in progress however, we have many hurdles to cross to allow us permissions to place so we do the best we can at present.

Quiet, peaceful setting ideal for an away from it all break.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The setting is marvellous and the amount of wildlife is impressive. The woodland, open fields and nearby ponds give a really quiet and peaceful feel.

Disliked: Facilities are distinctly limited and quickly overwhelmed when particularly busy.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Fire pits, Honesty shop, Goats in next field.

Disliked: Maybe an idea to collect the grass when cutting. Shepherd huts left vacant and listed unavailable online. Campsite on hill so limited decent pitches for tents.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: The site is beautiful, so quiet and secluded and surrounded by wildlife. Facilities were very good, our girls particularly enjoyed the arts and crafts provided and meeting the horses nearby. Owner was very present, friendly and helpful. Loved being able to camp under the trees in the woods, felt like a real adventure! We will definitely be back and have reccomended you to our friends.

Disliked: Unfortunately there was a group of young lads pitched next to us who played loud music for most of the afternoon and evening. We thought groups of this nature were not permitted at the site.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: My daughter (aged 10) and I, really enjoyed the layout of the camp. Pitches were good distances apart and despite all woodland pitches taken, all were respectful throughout the night. Facilities were brilliant. In working order and clean. The honesty shop was very helpful, too. Will definitely frequent this site.

Disliked: Signage could be better en route and had no clue what to do on arrival but people were helpful. Later saw someone in charge so no real issues.

Local attractions

There’s a lot of fun to be had simply knocking about on site – the site is fenced so kids can play and dogs can sniff about safely. That said, this is also a great area for outings, and one of the best is very close by: the excellent Marwell Zoo, which you can reach with a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive for a day among the giraffes, tigers and hippos. This location on the edge of the South Downs National Park also clearly lends itself to walks, bike rides and other outdoor activities – and there’s more of all that in the nearby New Forest National Park (20 minutes’ drive) too. For a complete change of scenery, you might instead fancy city strolls in either historic Winchester (15 minutes) or down in Southampton (25 minutes), where both Solent Sky and SeaCity Museum are handy rainy-day options.
