What customers say
Loved for spacious sites, cleanliness, and friendly staff. Families enjoyed activities like soft play and mini-golf. Great food and atmosphere at the restaurant/bar. Mostly good facilities, though some noted needing updates and occasional shower issues. Excellent location. Some noise and attraction pricing noted. Management is working on feedback.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Spacious pitches. Beautifully kept grounds and plenty to offer in terms of leisure activities. We only stayed one night (family event near by) but will definitely return for a longer period. Helpful staff. Toilets / Shower block was fresh and clean. Didn't have time to visit the on site bar, however it looked lovely and the food was reasonably priced. A few minutes from Marwell Zoo (if that's your bag)

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely site. Really nice staff. Lots of fun things to explore within a 15 min drive. And putting on the World Cup and handing out free pizza during a particularly mid England performance was a lovely touch.

Average site at a premium price.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Location.
Disliked Very poor facilities for the price. Toilets and shower average at best, pitch very basic.
It’s not bad, it’s just massively over priced for a very basic service.
