Watercress Lodges Campsite

Μου άρεσε We love staying here. The quiet zone is lovely for us. The showers and toilets are a great provision.

Μου άρεσε Compact and personal campsite, not too big. The ground was level which was a nice surprise for camping. The facilities were mostly clean. The other campers were really friendly. It was nice having the old steam train line so close. There were walks and cycle routes close by.

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing at all :)

Μου άρεσε The facilities available and the quiet camp was great for us away from the families as we did not have children with us.

Δεν μου άρεσε Would be good to be able to pick this option when booking

Μου άρεσε The bell tent was a great size, we comfortably stayed as 2 adults with 4 children and there was still plenty of room.
The sink and freezer block also had mains electricity plugs and the lights were on a sensor so you had no issues even if you visited in the dark.
The proximity to Ropley station meant you were able to watch trains come and go frequently. Also, a great little park for kids.
The peacefulness of the location (with the exception of the station!); lots of lovely countryside surrounding the campsite.
The option to have open flames as bricks were provided all over the site for fires or bbqs.
The toilet and shower facilities were large and very clean (even saw the cleaners twice during a 24 hour stay) with plenty of loo rolls provided.

Δεν μου άρεσε Although very little through traffic as the road was only for access to the lodges, we did have to be mindful of passing cars with children as the pitch area for the bell and personal tents isn't massive.

Μου άρεσε Good thanks. Nice next to steam railway.

Μου άρεσε I liked that we were free to choose where we pitch and that there were no vehicles on the camping fields. It was nice to be right next to Ropley station and the watercress line with its heritage steam and diesel locomotives and rolling stock. The site itself is nicely kept and we found both the wash up, the wc’s and showers to be perfectly adequate. There are plenty of water standpipes as well as bins for recycling and waste. There are also some brick built barbecue’s but we didn’t try these as we had our own off the ground BBQ.

Δεν μου άρεσε The nearby BoomTown Festival was on the weekend we visited and we were kept awake by rave music till about 4 am on the Friday night, we didn’t hear it on the Saturday night but that may be due to the copious amount of snore juice consumed in an attempt to force some sleep 💤

Μου άρεσε Everything! Lovely flat pitches, great shower & loo block, the freezer and barbeques are a lovely bonus. Good value for what's provided. Quiet at night, great communication from the owner.
We were there when the Watercress line was open so we used the cafes/ice cream van at the railway station

Δεν μου άρεσε Not a problem for us, but be aware that you need to move your equipment up steps/a slope when you set up/take down

Μου άρεσε Clean and fairly small site.
Next to train station where they had a day out with Thomas.
Decent toilet facilities.

Δεν μου άρεσε Showers were freezing on our first day, although addressed after raising awareness.
I complained about awful noise from campers next to us, swearing, drinking and playing music until early hours of the morning. Unfortunately, nothing was done until the following day when we left anyway. Completely ruined our final night and went home with very tired and grumpy children, who’d heard all manner of expletives throughout the night.

Μου άρεσε Lovely flat pitches with very clean facilities. Perfect place to take the children as they can watch the trains go by.

Μου άρεσε Great little site.
Hot showers , great facilities.
They have a shared freezer which i thought was excellent.
10 minute walk to the bus stop which is great.
We had a bell tent which was perfect, tonnes of space for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Would definitely come back.
