Camping at The Manor

Liked Nice chilled site. Good value. Compost toilets were really good, clean and smelled nice! Showers were good. Communal area for cooking, eating and drinking next to the shop was cool. Shop was a great feature with food and drinks to purchase. Owners lovely and really friendly and helpful.

Liked Incredible camping site! The owners have thought of eveything to accomodate guests! Food prepping area, many tables for cooking and eating, a counter where to order pizzas, breakfast items or drinks during the evening and day. Everything is upcycled and very well curated and artistic.
Compost toilets are hyper clean and fresh, showers (in an upcycled lorry!) have warm water, and they are clean!
10 min from the beach and 15 min from amazing paths in the New Forest. Farm nearby sells fruits and vegetables too!
I could not recommend more!

Thanks for another super review.

We work very hard through our summer to give you the best we can, so your kind comments are very appreciated.

I would always encourage those of you with questions and recommendations about the site to come and find us at reception.
Always keen to hear your thoughts.

Liked The owners of the site were extremely friendly and very helpful, site kept clean and liked the communal sitting/barbecue area although didn't use only there couple days, but good idea to meet other campers. Showers very good.

Disliked Toilets, which were composting, didn't like using them and the procedure if having to obtain cup of compost to throw down the loo every time used, I didn't like, but could see the reason for this type of toilet from an environmental point of view, ie saving of water, kept clean, unisex toilets too close and didn't like bumping into males in such an enclosed area, might be ok with some people, but being older guess I'm a bit old fashioned, also no hot water in washing up area only cold, but suppose you suppose you supply your own hot water if you chose to use the outside washing up area.

Thanks for your review where even though a bit harsh.
Good job the showers weren't unisex like a lot of campsites or we would have received a big zero 😣.
Please remember when reviewing our campsite that its a 'pop up' this means only seasonal.
We cant provide hotel amenities and let's face it, its also called 'Camping'.
I would rather provide clean compost unisex loos than Chemical plastic thunder boxes lighting up the fields with sign saying 'come have a go'
If we did 'male and female' we would be outside today's acceptable needing 'Trans, Bi,Gay,Not sure and I identify as a Teapot'. A field of Loo's, we could call it 'Le` Craperie'.

Anyway glad the rest of your stay was enjoyable and Adam found Vapers corner.

Best wishes on your camp travels

Liked Lovely site, clean facilities, compost toilets worked well and weren't at all smelly!

Sensible approach to fire safety in the current heat.

Maria and John were so friendly and helpful.

The fire pit for toasting marshmallows was a lovely touch.

The drinks/food available from the kiosk were also great and there was always a lovely vibe in the shared food prep/eating space.

Great location for getting to other shops and down to the coast (by car)

We had a lovely stay and will come again when back in the area!

Liked A wonderful site, just perfect for us. Lovely people, lovely site, well kept and everything you need.

Liked Great hosts, lovely site with good facilities and in peaceful location.
We really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

Disliked We were unable to cook at our tents and had to take everything to a designated area, due to the dry weather and increased risk of fire.
However, this was a new forest wide restriction and was in no way the fault of the hosts, who were up front and apologetic about it and did everything they could to facilitate everyone cooking as best they could. They did a good job.
