Camping at The Manor

Syntes om Lots of room, well spaced pitches, no excessive noise, everyone seemed . There was a lovely atmosphere as there is a section near the shop/reception/pizza shop where anyone could take their mini bbq or gas cooker and all cook in a kind of communal way. The showers were great. Don't be put off by the fact that the toilets are composting toilets. They were kept immaculately clean. The pizzas were delicious and very reasonably priced. We were greeted on arrival by 'Stumpy' the site owner who was so friendly and helpful, he and the team seem to be everywhere, making pizzas and selling all the hot and cold drinks. The site is only open for 28 days in a year so keep a lookout for the available dates (May BHs and August weekends)

Syntes ikke om The only thing that we were a bit disappointed with was that there aren't any dog walks into the forest direct from the site. We talked about it with Stumpy and he's tried to get access to the adjacent forest land but has so far been unsuccessful.

Syntes om We had a fantastic stay at this campsite and would definitely come back again!
The site was incredibly clean and well looked after, and I was clear that the owners take a lot of pride in keeping everything running smoothly. The facilities were great, and the whole site had such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.
The owners were amazing and really went above and beyond, particularly with the ongoing fire ban. They’ve found such a great way to keep the camping spirit alive by providing a communal fire and cooking area.

Syntes om Such a lovely chilled site. Everyone seems to be very friendly. The owners are so lovely and welcoming. The showers looked spotless (we showered in our campervan) and the composting toilets were clean.

It was great to be able to order delicious pizza. There was a good selection of beverages available to order. Breakfast bacon rolls were also available.

Really nice wash up facilities and areas where you can come and cook your food (cooking on pitches isn’t allowed at the moment due to the fire risk.

We arrived on the pitch after visiting Mottisfont. It’s nice to have a pitch with 12 pm arrival and 12 pm departure.

We enjoyed our stay so much that we’ve booked for next weekend.

Syntes om 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.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Jason
Thank you so much for your kind review.
Hope to see you again soon

Syntes om 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.

Syntes om 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.

Syntes ikke om 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.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Marilyn

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
Stumpy
