Lightfoot's Farm

Syntes om: Nice camping meadow and relaxed atmosphere. Pitch where you like. Excellent facilities including kitchen hut, compost loos, showers, firepits and wood-fired hot tubs available to hire (lovely way to spend an evening under the stars with some beer from one of the local breweries - be patient with the water temperature, it's a long game...). Wood available to buy. Really nice owner helped with the hot tub and gave us a box of delicious microgreen herbs from the farm to add to our dinner.

Syntes om: Nice location with convenient public transport links (bus from New Milton stops directly outside but not Sundays/BH). Campsite was quiet, informal and in a nice natural setting.

Syntes ikke om: Washing/toilet facilities were basic but adequate.

Syntes om: Suited me down to the ground.
Like all camping experiences this one was enhanced by glorious weather. Pitched up in the long grass left for nature. Quickly felt part of it as I sat listenig to the birds and watching the insects mull about the field.
Later I was joined by Roe Dear and a Fox. Even had a very curious Drake in the tent. I named him Sir Francis.
Magical stay. Thank you.

Syntes om: Area - great position for exploring the local area. Many eonderful beaches and New Forest 10-20mins drive

Field kitchen - this was a fantastic facility, well equipped with gas stove, fridge, freezer, electricity, pots and pans. Large kitchen and plenty of seating. Absolutely made our rainy few days bearable. And good for socialising with other families.

Syntes ikke om: The grass was longish and their were many mole hills, which made getting about hard, wet, work. I guess you probably can't do much about the molehills, but has the grass been cut it would have saved us all getting so wet and would have been easier to get about.

No lighting in the toilets and showers

Syntes om: The location was good - drivable spots in the new forest / to the beach.
The kitchen was well stocked and very welcome in the rain.

Syntes ikke om: The toilets were awful - we've stayed at many sites with compost loos but we had to drive our kid elsewhere because they absolutely refused to use them. No lights in the toilets either. Ran out of sawdust. One didn't even have anything to scoop the sawdust etc. And only two of three toilets were in use (there were a few campers there)
The grass was long which was horrible when walking about in the rain.
Nothing was walkable in the new forest, so driving only.
We had no check in or contact with the host regarding our camping even when we packed up to leave a night early.

Syntes om: very peaceful and everyone there was very mindful

Syntes om: The option to use a hot tub was a nice feature, although organisation of log sales etc was poor.

Syntes ikke om: The toilet facilities were absolutely appalling. I understand and appreciate compost toilets, these were not executed correctly to say the least. Our young children were heaving at using a toilet were the previous few dozen occupants waste was sitting merely millimetres below the height of the toilet seat. Hugely unsanitary and honestly a health risk.
