Croft Lane Green Camping

Líbí se Pitches were well spaced out, everything was basic but was there. And we really enjoyed going back to basics for a change! We particularly liked showering under the willow tree, was a fun way to shower. The compost toilet was new to us. But was actually quite pleasant, dare I say, nicer than other ‘normal’ toilets than we have used in the past.
I met the host on arrival and she explained where to find water and told us about the site.

Nelíbí se The shower and the washing up facilities were quite a walk away, I would have personally chose a pitch nearer the facilities, however I feel a lot of thought went into our assigned pitches, meaning we spaced out. We just drove to the shower as I didn’t want the children walking back to the tent cold, as the shower is cold.

Od správce: Thank you for your comments. Other people have also said that they were surprised how pleasant the compost loos actually are.
I agree with where I put you on the campsite was at one end of it so about 75 metres to the compost loo and 130 metres to the shower and sink. Love your ingenuity or driving to it to keep warm. Also my fault a bit as usually put people with young children in the middle of the field so they are close to the compost loo and play area and not so far to the shower. I was trying to space campers out a bit as not a full campsite. Will try to ensure that children regardless of age are nearer the centre of the field.

Líbí se Lovely location & very peaceful
Charlie was very helpful

Od správce: So pleased that you had a good night and that I was able to help you with local information.

Líbí se Exactly what I expected, Charlie was helpful and also gave me a few tips around the Island.

Nelíbí se Very little but if they could sort out the hot weather I'd be happy.

happy that the the tips were helpful too as sometimes its helpful to have local insights into the activities and places to visit on the island and round here too

Líbí se Calme, propre, très écologique et la douche sous le saule pleureur était féérique.
Imbattable sur Hayling Island...

Quiet, clean, very eco-friendly, and the shower under the weeping willow was magical. Unbeatable on Hayling Island...

I loved your daughter’s description of it being either the fairy shower or Titanias’s shower.
So pleased you had a lovely time

Líbí se Great experience from start to finish. Owner was lovely and helpful

Od správce: So pleased that you had a good time at the campsite and that my husband and I were helpful as well. we try to ensure that we welcome all of the campers and see if we can provide any local information and point out where things are situated on the camp site

Líbí se We were extremely happy with our stay! The owners are absolutely lovely and super welcoming. There is plenty of space for everyone—they don't try to cram in as many people as possible, but genuinely care about guests' comfort. Right next to the campsite, there are horses you can watch, which is just wonderful! We will definitely be back!

Od správce: We make an effort to keep the campsite tidy and clean the compost loos and sink often.

Líbí se Convenient location, relatively small, simple campsite, easy to find. We've returned here a few times now and Charlie and Peter are great hosts - there if you need anything, but not if you don't need them. West facing for lovely sunsets. Lots of birds (some of which were VERY noisy at 4am but if you're not prepared for that then don't go camping!)

Eco loos aren't my favourite, but these ones don't smell and they're well maintained (except when a teenage boy has been in before you and peed all over the seat... but you can't control for that!)

Nelíbí se There's slight road noise from the main road, but if you look at the map you'd be able to tell that anyway! Also on our first night there were idiots next to us up chatting until after 1am and had their fire so big it was concerning - we're in the middle of a heatwave and there's already been a wildfire on Hayling this summer. Reported it and Charlie and Peter dealt with it.

Also, I wish Echo was a more sociable dog - she's a very good, beautiful girl that keeps her distance from people and other dogs, but I'd have loved to have given her pets! Perhaps Charlie or Peter will give her some from me! :-)

Od správce: So pleased that you came to our campsite again. There are a lot of birds around us including house martins.
i am pleased that you found the eco loos more pleasant than you expected. we do make an effort to keep them as nice as possible using lavender spray and citrus smelly sticks too.
we wish that Echo our dog was more friendly too but i think it is a combination of being a rescue dog and her breed as well. i did give her an extra treat so she was very happy but don't think she knew why!

Líbí se We liked the field and its views of the horses. We liked the other wildlife there too, saw a fox, bats, swifts etc. and the cows mooing next door. Loved that we could have a campfire (fire pit). The compost toilets were surprisingly great. Loved the willow tree washing up station. Good location too, farm shop close, Billy walking trail close, Sam’s Sunflowers, Donkey sanctuary.

Nelíbí se Not really anything that would stop me coming back! A little bit of road noise perhaps.

Od správce: That's great that you enjoyed out simple campsite.
you were very lucky to see all of the wildlife of which there is a lot.
The farm shop has such wonderful produce so great that you could visit it.
Sam's Sunflowers and the free donkey sanctuary are some of my favourite things to experience on the island as well as walking the Billy Trail

Líbí se Peaceful, sheltered site. Lots shade. Charlie delightful and very helpful.
