Positiv Found a nice little spot for our little tent nestled away into the woods. Camped with my 2 children and we had a great time. Good little shop reasonably priced. Takeaway food available and nice pastries for the morning. Staff all very friendly. Ponies at the campsite entrance every day, we even had ponies visit on our last morning right beside the tent (small fence so couldn’t come in, but kids could go out and loved seeing them. We enjoyed our stay here and would come back.

Negativ The first night it was a little noisy in the evening making it a little difficult for kids to sleep. The next morning someone was blasting music at 8 in the morning which woke my already tired kids up. Not the campsites fault but would just be nice if people were respectful of each other.

Positiv Access to the New Forest
Play ground was lovely
This is a very large campsite , for your information.

Negativ Staff were not helpful or welcoming on reception.
We had booked as a group, asked to be placed together and ended up apart. No assistance to help us do this prior or during our stay.
Toilet blocks struggled to cope with the amount of people .
6m rule was not adhered to, this made me feel nervous, given the amount of wild fires that have been happening recently.

Positiv Pitches are fairly level, good toilet and shower blocks. Friendly and helpful staff.
Good little shop selling ice, ice cream, rolls, milk, alcohol and small amounts of other staples like butter, cheese etc, although a lot was aimed at children likes toys etc.

Negativ Difficult to find a pitch as it’s first come first served, pitch where you want and as there is a restriction of 6m between units it’s difficult to find one that meets these requirements resulting in vehicles driving round and round.

Positiv Location and setting.
Was quiet considering how busy it was.

Negativ How far the toilet block was away from our pitch.
How crammed in we were on Saturday night. - we did arrive on a hot Saturday afternoon and it was packed.

Positiv Nothing

Negativ We arrived on Friday after work and were there before 7pm. Already at the entrance you told us that we have to find a place by ourselves! Really? We go to different regions, pay half of what we paid here and they always show us our place. Here everyone takes as much space as they want and it is difficult to find anything!
We finished unpacking around 9pm so we wanted to sit, relax and make food as we had not eaten after work. We sat for quite a long time but talked quietly so as not to disturb anyone, despite this a lady came in and said she was disturbed by the light and the fact we were talking because she had small children! Does that mean we have to go to bed at the time when everyone else is putting the kids to bed? We used to have small children too but we didn't make any problems!
In the morning we couldn't sleep at least until 8 o'clock, we couldn't because from 6 o'clock the children were already very noisy, but we didn't make a problem out of it! We packed up and left for home at 10am (so we spent 13 hours). We wasted time and money unnecessarily but we preferred to leave rather than suffer!
We were here for the first and last time!

Negativ Finding a good area to pitch up, it just seems park anywhere and hope for the best. Managed to find even base for 3,of us to pitch up altogether

Positiv Beautiful location, great facilities were busy in mornings and evenings but was expected, shop and takeaway was great prices affordable and well stocked! We traveled with teenagers and a baby and campsite was safe and quiet in evenings, perfect location to watch the sunrise and surrounded by wild horses and cows was quite the magnificent experience was overall a perfect location and will definitely be coming back in the future
