What customers say
This family-run campsite is praised for its spacious, flat pitches and quiet, friendly atmosphere. Guests consistently highlight the welcoming and helpful staff, the cleanliness of the facilities including compost toilets and hot showers, and the convenience of on-site food options like pizzas and bacon rolls. The location is considered good for exploring the New Forest and nearby coast. While some found certain facilities, like shower cubicles or washing up areas, to be small or lacking hot water, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors eager to return.

Liked 10/10 stay. The owners were lovely and took the time to chat and help out with whatever we needed. We loved that the campsite was eco friendly and recycled everything as well as the compost toilets. Would definitely return!!!

Great option for weekend away in the new forest / on the south coast
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really clean hot showers never a queue, very clean toilets (compost). Washing up sinks with washing up liquid & drinking water, plenty of hand soap etc around. Really helpful / friendly family running it - great value omelette / bacon sandwich, coffee etc for breakfast and reasonable pizzas cooked to order. Little shop selling cold drinks / ice creams / marshmallows etc. we camped in the second smaller field next to the reception/showers “hub” as liked being close to facilities and enjoyed the chilled music etc playing. Decent sized pitches so even though very busy and lots of people packing up early & dogs etc it was never loud / disturbance. 15 mins drive to sandy beach.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely campsite. We really enjoyed our stay. Hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. Facilities are ideal.
Disliked Only less good observation is that if the site was fully booked I think the number of toilets might be too little and lead to queues at busy times.

Brilliant place to say will happily go again
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Brilliant pitches lovely staff and great location. Had toilets and showers. Washing up stations. Recycling stations. Very generous sized pitches with space to spread out. Will note that the toilets are composting ones and can’t lie the smell was pretty bad by the end of the day. It wasn’t due to lack of cleanliness just the nature of the toilets. We also had a fire pit which was great fun with the kids you do have to buy the wood from the camp site. We had our BBQ which you need to bring your own coal for as they don’t sell any. Also brought our dogs with us and it was plenty dog friendly but the dogs had to be on lead all the time. Very quiet over night no issues with noise at all.
Disliked There is little to no shade available so bear that in mind. The toilet smell was intense when using them.

From the manager: Hi Katie
Thank for coming to stay with us and your review.
Couple of comments for everyone in general.
Dogs on leads are a policy throughout most responsible campsites.
Access for all demand dogs on leads for those who don't have animals but wish to stay in the same facilities. Irresponsible campsites allow anything goes approach just to please the few who spoil for the many so yes dogs are very very welcome but on leads as noone wants their sausages stolen or tent watered for territory.
As for our eco loos, unfortunately despite a master class for every arriving camper any loo is as good as the last competitor.
While tossing the cup full of its wood chippings and plant cutting is fun if your aiming to balance it on the last concerto movement ,the idea is you retain the cup thus allowing a covering of your best deposit. If you simply loose the cup down the hatch with contents still inside it doesn't do much.
We will be more informative with our arrivals and possibly take on the airplane way of doing things and demonstrate the 4 easy steps.
1, loo seat up
2. Do your thing
3. Throw only cup of bio material down retains cup.
4. Loo seat down.
Oh and for some of the men out their who were chuffed at loo seat down , wash your hands.
Not taken though and remember they are super clean and saving 1000's of gallons of wasted water.
Safe travels and see you again 🙏
