Bell tent (basic)

Liked: We hired a Bell Tent which suggested it slept 4 - it was huge & could easily accommodate more people. Good location with lots of shops/pubs just a short drive or walk away. Compost Toilets, although very simple, worked well.

Disliked: There was no one to keep an eye on the site. When we got there, we phoned a mobile number to ask which Bell tent was ours & was told to just chose one. We had no idea which were occupied or not, so had to open and look inside to see if other people's items were in there or not. This was uncomfortable to do & we wouldn't have been happy other's doing that to us. When we found an empty one, although it was lovely and big, it was rather dirty inside (signs of dried liquid on the floor & lots of dirt/sand/stones), so it seemed unlikely they were checked and cleaned between people using them. Sadly, even though we were camped in an area which was signposted for 'families' to use, there was a group that parked up next to us, who kept increasing in multiple cars and were very loud with music playing and talking loudly late into the evening. Our 9 year old couldn't sleep because of this and after he was in tears, we decided to pack up and leave in the middle of the night, which wasn't ideal.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked: I loved the park with some very friendly neighbours, and loved staying in the tee pee, beats a tent any day 😊

Disliked: My only complaint is I didn’t get one bit of sleep. There was a group of older adults with young kids, who were very loud till 3am. My whole family was kept awake which I know is no fault of the park, but was a little let down.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Booking was really easy. Great communication about check in and when we arrived came over to say hello and ask if we needed to know anything about the local area. The campsite is a pop up and so it was basic but as described. The toilets were compost toilets using sawdust, eco friendly and still practical and useable. Thank you we had a lovely stay.

Disliked: There is a small amount of outdoor noise like train and some distant cars So if you like it really quiet take some earplugs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great value for money and a great site to really switch off.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was a spacious site, the shower was warm everytime we used it, there was plenty of toilet roll with toilets being kept clean. It was a good location with pubs in walking distance and supermarkets a short drive from the site.

Disliked: Some additional signage when arriving at the site would be helpful as it’s a small entrance and easily missed.

Local attractions

In the New Forest National Park (10 minutes’ drive), there are plenty of activities to chuck yourself into… canoeing, archery, hiking or cycling perhaps? Visiting the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (10 minutes), the National Motor Museum (35 minutes) or New Forest Wildlife Park (35 minutes)? Those of you who are keen on all the adventurous sort of stuff will spend your time wisely at Snowtrax Alpine Activity Centre (15 minutes), which runs skiing, snowboarding and ringo rides. Moors Valley Country Park (20 minutes) is just as sporty a day out, as the park has trails, a golf course and Go Ape ropes courses for those who want to channel their best monkey impression. Back towards the coast, a picnic in the grounds of Highcliffe Castle (10 minutes) could be followed by a stroll down to the beach. You may want to see how you fare with watersports like paddleboarding from Christchurch Harbour (10 minutes). Otherwise, join the sailing scene in Lymington (25 minutes) for another seaside-inspired day.
