What customers say
A peaceful, well-kept site with spacious pitches, offering a back-to-basics, eco-friendly stay. Guests loved the friendly owners, clean facilities (compost toilets, unique cold shower), and natural surroundings. Good value, though some noted road noise/no hot water. Managers are improving signage and considering more amenities.

Liked Basic non electric grass pitches with cold shower and drinking water. Close to West beach and Tesco Superstore. Owners were very kind to change our allocated pitch. We all had a great time.

Disliked Gates where a pain but that was only as I had to keep leaving the site for family emergency
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments. I can appreciate that the double gates are a nuisance if you are on your own and you had to leave the campsite and come back quite a few times.
Too expensive. Should be £12 - £15 for what's there.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Mostly quiet but there was only 3 other people at the site
Disliked Price. £25 was far too much for what was on offer.
Allocated pitches when it's only a field with no hook up or hard standings. Let people pitch where they like. All pitches have evening sun and shade in the morning. I prefer the other way around and I couldn't do it even though there was plenty of space.
Composting loos were old and shabby
Only saw 1 tap for drinking water.
The grass needed cutting, far too long.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review particularly when you obviously did not seem to have a good experience at our camp site.
In terms of the pricing we took recommendations from Pitch up as to what was an appropriate amount to charge, and am sorry that you feel that this is not a suitable amount.
When we first opened the camp site we allowed people to camp where they liked but we found that people pitched too close to other tents and it did not work.
we have more pitches marked than we advertise so we can leave gaps between people. There were not many campers as we unexpectedly had to sort out a family emergency so closed the campsite. My godson was looking after the campsite and he did come over a few times but you were not there on each occasion.
There are 3 water taps (in fact there is a 4th one in the stable yard) all with mains water. if you had texted and called i could have described to you where the other taps were or asked my godson to walk over to show you where they are. (there is a red fire bucket by each tap)
The grass along the pitches has recently been cut but have let the other areas be a bit longer as we have hot weather and the grass stays green for longer
As for where the sun goes that is beyond my control and many campers have said how much they enjoy watching the sunsets.
i am surprised you said the compost loos were old and shabby. I have swept them in the morning you arrived and they are in fact not that old but i guess it depends on what you were expecting. Interestingly the review before yours comments on the fact they liked the compost loos
typically i think the website provides a good description of the facilities at the campsite (which are also bought to life by the photos) as well as the the text which i send to all of the people who book. Perhaps you did not have the chance to review either or these which is why you had the expectations of the campsite you did.

Liked Stocked compost toilet.eco friendly. Level.pitches
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: So pleased you liked the eco compost loo. we have tried to make the pitches level with harrowing and rolling but quite challenging as it was so wet earlier with the horses in the summer camping area ... so excellent that the ground work has paid off for you to pitch your tent

Liked Wonderful!
Great spot. Safe, quiet and easy access to beach.
Big field.
Charlie was very helpful.

From the manager: That's great you had a good time and that i was able to answer your questions and give you some local advice too.
Bus stop right outside the campsite so travel to south hayling is easy
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great service and communication: they were were so accommodating on our arrival time! Toilets were so clean and well maintained and the ground was such a good quality for pitching.
Disliked Nothing

Mostly field with some trees, friendly and understanding host
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked It's a nice place with pitches nicely lined alongside bushes and some trees which helps protect you from wind and rain. The host was very understanding when I arrived late, without letting him know my ETA and camping on the wrong pitch by mistake which was not assigned to me (once again, sorry!). The host was also very attentive and had shared a lot of information about the site, how to get here, what to do on arrival and to show me around. Overall very happy and I can see myself coming back here in the future.
Disliked Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: i totally understand that some of our messages might be missed and luckily as we are nearby we can come to show you where things are.
We allocate pitches as we try to organise the camping field so that we can accommodate different requests such as being near the play area if they have children or in a quieter place if they have an anxious dog, or a ensure that two pitches are together.
do hope that you come back again too
Super friendly and helpful, went beyond…
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Super friendly and helpful, went beyond to give us a pleasant stay. Well layed out site and the horses are a bonus. Good for small families.
Disliked A little bit of road noise breaks the otherwise very peaceful site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I think the addition of the set of swings and slide and small climbing frame has been great for the children to play in addition to the large playing area of the field.
Thank you for letting us know that we helped to make your stay a good one.
