Andark Lake

Syntes om Peace and quiet in surprisingly urban environment but simply couldn’t tell other then occasional noise of traffic when wind blew in direction. Great shower and toilet facilities.

Syntes ikke om Track up to campsite was quite rough and needed to be careful not to bottom out of camper.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks- we look forward to welcoming you back. We limit our bookings to just 13 pitches- so plenty of space for everyone.

Syntes om The area is clean, including the lake and having a shop within reach is plus.
The ladies in the shop are ever so nice and welcoming.

Syntes ikke om The noise at night was horrendous, we could hear the train and motorway all night, but not during the day. We walked to find out how far is the motorway and its approximately 600 metres. I felt like I was sleeping in the middle of the motorway.
There was no communication regarding people coming in and out of the Andark Lake in the evening therefore when it is pitch dark and you see people coming in the first instinct is they are unwelcome guest to the lake, only to be told they hold yoga etc.
The emergency contact for Andy and Mark was on the leaflet but not where you would expect it to be, it’s hidden amongst the places nearby you could visit, therefore missed amongst the scare we had when we saw people coming in late evening.
On our first night there were clearly vehicles with workmen fixing something by the gate and instead of coming and explaining things to us they just clapped and shouted as if we could hear, no attempt to come near us at all.
When we raised these there were no attempts to apologise instead we were expected to know that yoga and other things do happen by the lake.

Fra bestyreren: Much like every other campsite- there are of course going to be other visitiors- for us to inform you of every other camping arrival or visitor to the site is a wholly unrealistic expectation.

Syntes om Setting, atmosphere,facilities, staff. Hamble river nearby with fabulous pubs!

Syntes ikke om Gravel pitch has become too invasive upon the allocated grass areas of no 1 and 3, pitches.

Fra bestyreren: Great to see you again! Thanks for the feedback.

Syntes om Easy to find, quiet location. Facilities were nice and clean. We loved walking down to the pub who were super friendly. They happily welcomed in our dog. the menu was great and lots of beers on tap.

Wifi was good enough to watch the ladies rugby final on my laptop!

Syntes ikke om I should have booked in for the swim in the little lake with the ladies in the morning, I felt like I was missing out!

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for the review.

Syntes om The swim option

Syntes ikke om I had to cancel at short notice due to a family emergency - the campsite (Pitchup) booking instructions are to contact Andark…Andark said to contact Pitchup. I gave up trying to speak to someone and ask to rebook my visit (other things to deal with at the time!). Not good customer service and I won’t bother to go there now.

Syntes om A great location to stay if venturing into Portsmouth harbour, it’s about a 25 minute drive away. The toilet and shower facilities were super clean, and the staff in the cafe/reception were very friendly and informative. The lake was a nice added feature, lovely to sit by in the morning. The campsite felt very safe as the gate was locked at night and a code was needed to get in.

Syntes ikke om Nothing really to dislike, but not really a family campsite.
