Ashurst was a wonderful experience. Brilliant site, we will return.
Unpowered grass site
Liked The welcome on arrival was friendly and warm. The information that was relayed was brilliant and clear. The facilities were clean and easily accessible. Everyone was quiet by 10:30, which was wonderful with young children. Permit checks by staff left us feeling safe and secure. The freedom to choose your pitch.
Disliked The train track laying right beside the campsite, however past 11pm there didn't seem to be many trains.
Beautiful site. Well looked after and very helpful staff

Liked Pitches in forest- felt like wild camping. Being amongst the ponies was amazing. Pub next door with great food. Super clean and powerful showers. All well looked after and lots of staff. Nice and quiet even though it was a busy weekend.
Disliked Nothing- it was amazing.
Excellent weekend stay with ample space and great staff.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Pitch layouts meant privacy was maintained. We stayed during temperatures of 25/26° so it was great to have so my trees to pitch up under. The staff were very professional and friendly. Loved having the wild ponies on site.
Disliked Only the fact that there is no designated phone charging area. My phone died half way through so would have been nice to have somewhere to top up.
will just check the ground before we start setting up

Unpowered grass site
Liked Love yhe site, great location for getting to the coast or going for walks in the new forest. Friendly emplyees and toilets / shower blocks always clean.
Disliked Unfortunatly we had pitched up right next to the railway line without knowing. (Ok but not great if you have young kids).
Showers are scalding hot.
Not the sites issue, however the nearest pub is a bit of a shambles. Been twice and both time wasnt impressed
Site was friendly and clean. Good facilities and great pub next door…
