What customers say
Visitors love the views, staff, and pod concept with shared spaces. Great for kids to run around and explore the New Forest. Downsides: washroom cleanliness, noise from others, sometimes felt staff were absent. Solar power for pods was spotty, but being fixed. Some missed on-site activities and a playground.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Would stay again, but perhaps just bearing in mind no activities.
Ready tent (five person)
Liked Friendly campers, shower and toilet facilities well maintained. Site was clean and ready tents were clean, and decent sized. Very standard camp, but an easy enjoyable stay near some lovely beautiful surroundings.
Disliked Noisy road behind our field, up to very late at night, staff not sure when activities would be on, nothing on during bank holiday weekend at all which was a shame as was one of the key reasons for booking this site. Fire pits I felt were a lot of money, £20 a night is insane to me for a barrel.. But alas, next time we will bring our own.

Not family friendly, designed for school groups.
Camping pod
Liked The local area, the fridges / microwave, toilets before they were filthy and out of toilet paper.
Disliked The pre-erected tents are too close together for comfort, suitable for a school trip - not for families to be side by side.
The bathrooms were filthy in the morning - says more about the other campers than the site.
No monitoring of noise at night, or adherence to quiet hours.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great location! Huge area although we did have bit of a cut through on pitch 09 but once tents were up it stopped. Great facilities for shower really warm and reasonably clean and tidy, grass on floor but I guess to be expected. The kettle facility is perfect for morning coffee without having to fire up the BBQ again so close to leaving. It's great that you facilitate BBQ on stands we love making our S'mores was a perfect evening. We would stay again.
Disliked EV charge point wasn't working, it was suggested to use the EV at The Huntsman which I booked for breakfast but unfortunately they did not have the correct charge head for my car, luckily managed to get back home with enough charge.
On site restaurant and bar would be an added facility.

Camping pod
Liked We had a fantastic time with 2 adults and 2 children (aged 2.5 and 5 years). The site had fantastic amenities and the location was perfect for New Forest walks and close to the centre of Brockenhurst. The pods were simple but just what we needed to ensure a comfortable stay

Anonymous Camping pod
Liked Lovely weekend in the new forest. Great location and facilities.
Pod was perfect for the 3 of us for a long weekend trip. Having the fields for kids to play in and the selection of activities kept them entertained

Lovely site, great location, most staff friendly but no activities.
Anonymous Camping pod
Liked Location was great, easy to get to and find. There was lots to do around the site. The pods were cute and the kids loved the field space. Which was helped because there were not too many tents.
Disliked The pictures showed all the activities that were avaliable but we couldn't use any of them which was a disappointment. The playground in the pics were not. If it had not been for the lack of tents I'm not sure the kids were have enjoyed it as much.
The rules around the unloading and loading area were not enforced, so cars had parked in this area and along the sides making this process hard work and even got blocked in when unloading and had to find owners to move cars so we could take the car back to right space.
The shower area was cleaned at lunchtime only, which meant the bins were overflowing by the next morning. We were unlucky in one sense as once the showers had been cleaned the large group staying came back from their swim and the showers were covered in sand and stayed that way. Made it unpleasant.
