Lepe Beach Campsite

We enjoyed the calmness of the site- almost everyone we encountered was a family which made it great for kids to play. Facilities were basic but kept quite clean and showers were warm.

How open and clean the site was. Facilities were great and the proximity to beach was excellent. Lovely cafe right at the back was spot on!

The site was super windy which caused us less experienced campers an embarrassing 1 to 2hr set up rather than our usual 30minutes to 1hr as we were fighting with the wind. The wind made sleeping and cooking very difficult and even lighting the firepit. This information could have been given to us prior or some help offered perhaps. Also the fire pit could have been part of the price if needed, as at the high cost and the extra costs the stay was becoming more expensive than a budget hotel.

We had an amazing bank holiday weekend at Lepe. 3 families stayed together (6 adults 3 children) and had a fabulous time. The weather helped a lot. We got to the campsite by 3.30pm on the Friday and managed to find a pitch really close to the beach. We rented one of their fire pits and bought wood, which did the trick every evening - kept us warm and melted our marshmallows! The site was pretty full, but everyone was super friendly, lots of families with young kids.
The facilities were basic but fine. Hot water for showers and washing up - plenty of toilets with toilet paper, soap and hand towels.
The highlight for me was a daily early morning swim with my 10 year old - best start to the day and great for clearing my head.
The management team were fab - really friendly and accomodating - always smiling. Thank you!

Nothing really.

The tent and camping equipment already being set up was fantastic. We didn’t want for anything. The staff were great also.

Could do with another toilet and shower block. They were becoming a bit overcrowded while we were there but it was a very busy bank holiday weekend so I’m sure this wouldn’t be a problem at a less busy time of the season.

The staff where very welcoming and accommodating. The pitches are great and not pushed for space. You can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes. Easy access to lots of great places.

Maybe could be more showers

Warm welcome by onsite staff who were a visible presence throughout the day. Good toilet and showering facilities which were cleaned and maintained regularly throughout the day and evening. Lovely flat pitches with a fabulous view of the Solent. So peaceful and relaxing here. My children were able to move around the site safely. Close proximity to the Country Park and the beach.

Family campsite, everyone was very friendly - staff and other campers. Easy access to beach and country park. Shops and other amenities a short drive away.

More of an observation than a dislike, but I bent a few pegs trying to get through the stones hidden in the soil.

Perfect campsite to take our three Grandsons. They loved watching the boats coming and going on the solent and enjoyed playing in the country park next door. We spent a day at Beaulieu motor museum, that was a real hit with them !

There was plenty of space to pick your own pitch so you weren’t restricted to an allocated space. Excellent views of the ships leaving Portsmouth Harbour and the Isle of Wight. It was a 3 minute walk from the beach and and ten minute walk to the excellent Lookout cafe for chips/ brunch/ ice cream and play area.

There were a lot of wasps and one of our Party got stung.

Beautiful location and the campsite isnt over crowded. Decent amount of showers and toilets and lovely level pitches. Have stayed here twice and will be again.

No electricity hook-up.
