Primitive grass campsite
Liked Amazing site with brilliant facilities and great local amenities. Beautiful park that really gives you the feel of wild camping with the creature comforts of clean showers and toilets ect. Staff were super friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the area and site rules. The site was kept clean and tidy and had an amazing atmosphere throughout.
Disliked No faults 10/10 can't wait to come back

Great site. Avoid pitching up by the railway line.
Primitive grass campsite
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

Primitive grass campsite
Liked A great camp site with excellent facilities. The staff are very friendly and helpful with access to local walks and nearby pubs for food and drinks. I can't comment on the WiFi as I didn't need to use it.
Disliked Nothing to add

Great site, clean facilities, friendly people, lots of pitch places.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The scenery, the mixture of different places and people on and around the site, the different walks and pubs nearby were beautiful. The nature that surrounded our tent like the horses, birds and squirrels you get to see on a daily basis was unbelievable
.
Disliked Only one toilet, shower and washing up facility on site which gets very busy at certain times and is sometimes a long walk away from where you are pitched.
