Liked: Got WiFi
Disliked: Pitches were rubbish , the electric hook up was literally just a cable . We took the dogs for a walk in the woods and there were broken asbestos sheets laying around , these are highly dangerous!!! This is not suitable for motorhome.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Convenient for the weekend course at the lake.
Disliked: Track needs attention as its rutted and car slid trying to go up the hill. Grass hasn't been mown for weeks, needs some attention around pitches and main access routes. Open air sink with cold water is a poor offering.

Powered grass tent campsite
Liked: The lake and pitch location, main gate security, toilet and shower facilities, cafe food and service
Disliked: The actual pitch is not accurately measured out, the pitch (13) is also very uneven. Washing up facilites are very poor and basic, electric hook up is not a safe set up and slung over the fence, in terms of car parking next to pitch is ok, but the field is rather slanted and in nad weather, parking and moving a car is slippery and potentially dangerous

Liked: Flat pitch for Motorhome. Warm, dry and clean shower and toilet blocks. Quite spot during the night. Short journey to Portsmouth ferry terminal. Great dive centre if you want to learn to dive.
Disliked: Uneven lane to get to the campsite.

Powered grass and gravel RV campsite
Liked: The pitch was good and level
Disliked: The toilets were soaking. They come in with a hose and spray down the whole shower, toilet and changing area! Not great as they don’t dry and remove the access water so it stays soaking. So when trying to change after a shower you’re trying to change on a soaking floor. Only place to wash your dishes is in a sink in the field. No hot water, no shelter or lights (when eating later in the evening and needing to clean your dishes)

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite
Liked: Lovely location safe & secure excellent over night stop for Southampton ferry. Hamble Valley literally down the lane across the road. MO/HO pitches very small with limited space as main road to tent camping runs between the pitches. You have to pay extra to use the lake not free for campers this was disappointing. Cafe and toilet block good but share the showers with all public swimmers not ideal for small children. Was okay for overnight stay. Dog friendly.
Disliked: Size of pitch/extra payment to use lake. 2 x showers to share with all public swimmers & scuba diving club.
