Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked A remarkable spaceouse campsite with grass and gravel pitches, many with views over the busy man-made lake.
Although the facilities are shared by day with the diving and swimming club there never seems to be a problem.

Helen R.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The campsite has a lovely setting right by the lake, which makes it feel peaceful and relaxing. We even managed to get our son in for a morning swim, which was a real highlight. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the general facilities were clean and well looked after. Another big plus is that shops and pubs are just a short walk away, so it’s very convenient.

Disliked The toilets did tend to get muddy, although that’s more down to how other visitors leave them. Being close to the M27 means there is some traffic noise, but that’s not really something the site can control. What could definitely be improved, though, are the washing-up facilities, at the moment it’s just a cold tap running into a dirty bucket, which really doesn’t feel adequate. A bit of investment here would go a long way. Some of the pitches could also benefit from better landscaping to make them flatter and more comfortable.

Aimee B.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked How empty the campsite was, with only a few campers, lovely woods to walk the dogs in and friendly people, showers and toilets always clean in the morning. Friendly staff and secure at night

Disliked Soaking wet floors from the swimmers, when you use the toilet your trousers get soaked at the bottom, them also leaving their stuff everywhere and not using the lockers.
Men walking around the changing room naked, regarding it being a family campsite my boys didn’t feel comfortable seeing this.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Brilliant little camp site, very basic but worked a treat for three nights. Our motor home is 7 meters and that’s definitely the max you could fit. Brilliant for location, bus and train stops within a fifteen minute walk.
Train fares to Portsmouth and Southampton are more than reasonable. Would definitely stay again. The lake is small but very popular. We didn’t use so can’t comment more.

Disliked Wash facilities are very small and basic also not as private as we have stayed at.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked So cheap and affordable for a night away, had such an amazing time and it was so peaceful. Had the perfect pitch to (pitch 12). Had flushing toilets, warm showers and gates for your security. The lake looked lovely during the day and especially during the sunset. 10/10 camping site!!! It was a hidden gem in Southampton

Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch

Liked Lovely quiet campsite with amazing views over the lake. Super friendly staff and an amazing breakfast. Clean facilities.

Disliked Whilst the toilets and showers were always super clean the showers were freezing cold and toilets blocked at times this was the only thing that let down a full star review.

Local attractions

Wetsuits at the ready – if you’re into your watersports you’ll have plenty to pick from around here. Swanwick Marina is 10 minutes’ walk away for sailing training, and there’s paddleboarding, windsurfing and kayaking on the Hamble 15 minutes’ drive away. Kitesurf kit hire and lessons are 40 minutes away on the other side of the river. Take a break from the big blue for a wander around Holly Hill Woodland Park, five minutes away by car, or a sea-view stroll through Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, 20 minutes away. SeaCity Museum, Solent Sky Museum and the Tudor House and Garden in Southampton are worth a visit too, and there are shops, restaurants and a cinema at the city’s West Quay. Cross the River Hamble to hit the New Forest National Park, 25 minutes’ drive away, for a walk, bike ride or horse ride or a trip to meet the furry and feathered residents of the New Forest Wildlife Park. It’s also worth trundling along to the classic car collection at Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum (35 minutes away).
