Positiv 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.

Negativ 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.

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

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

Positiv 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!

Negativ 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!

Positiv The swim option

Negativ 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.

Positiv Nothing as didn’t get to stay

Negativ Sadly I did not receive the access information before my arrival from the Bilbao Ferry. I previously checked with the site that a late check in was ok and that I would receive details by email prior. I waited until 2 days before the arrival date then emailed. I emailed again when I had signal on the boat and then again when we arrived in the Uk. Despite arrival being allowed up till 9pm, no body replied to my email. I’ve had no response to my request for a refund despite reaching out twice since. So I can give no more than a 1 star review.

Positiv 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.

Negativ Nothing really to dislike, but not really a family campsite.
